Team Leaves for Lohg Hard Trip THE SUBURBAN, WORTH $20,060, QUITE LIKELY TO GO TO AN OUTSIDER By J. 8. A. MACDONALO. New York. June 9.—With the Suburban handicap—the mosf coveted prise on turf calendar—to l»e run within the next few days (or, to be correct, on Thursday, June 21), devotees of racing from Han Francisco, Cal., to New York, N. Y„ arc Just now rubbing their eyes and betbtnklng themselves of the probable outcome of the momentous struggle. A Tokalon may win the Suburban handicap this year, for, like the recent Brooklyn handicap, the field for tho approaching Suburban handicap Is distinctively meager In quality, and likely as not a rank outside selling plater may come on, after the claas hornet* have fought themselves Into the ground, and win by a fluke. There you have the sum and sub stance of Tokaldn, a 26 to 1 shot, wlnnlug the $20,000 Brooklyn handicap on May 21 . at Gravesend. Do not scout the possibility of the very same thing occurring In the Suburban handicap—In fact, the remem lira nee of Tokalon Is going to make tbott sands of speculators chance a flyer on th«' tail-end choices In whatever little future I netting tuny be had on the race—^“little future lotting" being said advisedly, since th» postal authorities at Washington. D. have glveu the projectors of the ••Kid” Weller future book on the Brooklyn hand! cap to understand that no further trails mission of beta on horse races through the malls will tie tolerated. The Suburban handicap, like the nrook lyn handicap. Is worth $20,000, this amount of money lielng divided among the owners of the first three horse*. These fixtures are two of a trio, the Brighton handicap, the richest of them all, standing ns third of the series. They nre nt a mile end n quarter for horses, three-year-old* and up. the Brooklyn handicap being tbe feature event nt the annual opening of the Brook lyn Jockey Club's spring meeting at Graves- end. the Huhtirban hmidtcnp doing the same ^ rvlce for the mld-sumiuer meeting of tho mey Island Jockey Club nt Hheepshead buy, and the Brighton handicap lending the hurrah effect on the first dny of the always welcome meeting nt Brighton Beach, down by the rolling ocean surf. The running of any oue of them Is the signal for an exodus of anywhere from 40,000 to 70.000 persons from the city to tho Long Island racing grounds. The turf is keeping pace with tbe growing life of the country and each year sees a greater number of racegoers In attendance. For Instance, 66,000 paid admissions were recorded nt Tteliuont pork on Decoration dny this season—n record 'crowd for an American race track—and folly 60,000 admlrera of the thoroughbred will probably look on the finish of the coming Suburban handicap. At this time, Harry I'ayno Whitney seems to have the best chance of winning, for he has the wonderful three-year-old. Burgo master, and the great mare.

The Southern League's race has given little room for settlement'of doubt so far. At least four teams look strong enough to win the pennant. There Is very little dif ference In the strength of these four team* and the chances nre thnt from now until the end of the season the four will be changing positions lu the first dlvlalou.
