NEW YonK , Juno 20. The Suburban hand ! * cap of 1693 , the tenth In the history of the event , was a grovlous disappointment to the to the turf-loving public. Lamplighter , the Idol , who was looked upon ns a sure victor In the great race , was made to fall from the high pedestal upon which hohad boon placed nnd the halo of victory which had gathered obout him because of his numerous suc cesses , were couiplotely dispelled. Ho was vanquished strictly on his merits , as the race was fairly run from beginning to end. There i was no crowding or Jostling , as was the case in the Brooklyn handicap. The field was comparatively small , and every Jockey rode to win In as fair a manner ai possible , txwlandcr , by Lowland Chief , dam Kost- less , a horse that has had rather an erratic career , won the race from cud to end. Ho went out at the full of the Hag , sot the pace to suit himself nnd won almost as ho pleased , in the fast tlmo of SiOGJf. Tcrrlflor , Father 'Dill Daly's candidate , was second , throo- quarters of a length away , whllo lamp lighter , the oven money favorlto that shrewd turfmen said couldn't lose , was third , four lengths back. Frcil T.ono Mail a n Killing. Ix > wlandcr was at 10 to 1 against In the betting , and all kinds of fancy prices could jbo obtained about the chances of Tcrrifler. .Tho race was worth J18.000 to the winner , $ n,000 to the second horse and $3,000 to the .third. The winner Is owned bv Bookmaker Fred Ixjwo , and , besides the rich stake , ho netted many thousands of dollars lu bets by the victory of his horso. Suburban day this year opened nnd con tinued bright and clear , although oppres sively hot. The crowd began to arrive early , nnd when the bugle called the horses to the post In the llrst race fully 20,000 persons wcro on the grounds , and this Immcnso throng was steadily augmented up to the tlmo for the Suburban. ' The ilrst three races could not bo run quleic cnouirh to suit the crowd. The victories of Dobbins , Ameer , nnd Lizzie created but meager enthusiasm , but the third race over , matters began to .assume a more animated appearance. This was especially true 'of the butting ring , which crowded and thronged as it hrfd never been before , now became densely packed. Everybody must have n bet on the Suburban , and everybody seemed to bo there. Small Field to Tick. Kaccland and Charade were early de clared out of the race nnd the betting crowd , therefore , had nine horses from which to filck the winner. The question was quickly settled as fur as the betting ring was con cerned , as to which or the thoroughbreds would prove the victor. Lamplighter was immediately and spontaneously installed an oven money favorlto and so ho remained throughout. Banquet was next in demand nt fours , whllo Mars , Lowhuidor nnd Pcssara were at tens. Twelves could bo obtained nliout Dr. Hasbrouck nnd The Pepper , nnd thirties und sixties about TciTilicr and the Knglish horse Iddoslcigh. An immense amount of nionny was wagered on the result and most of this remained with the bookies , The race was sot for 4:05 : and promptly at that tirao the horses were called-to the post. Pcssara was the llrst to appear on .tho track , uut immediately after him came Torrillor , The Popper , Dr. Husbrouck and Iddeslcih , whllo Ixiwlamler and Banquol P quickly followed those. Lamplighter and 'Mars ' did not pass t.ho grand stand , but cantered from their stables to the post. 'I.CMTliuulor Won All the Way. It was 458 ; before the horses had been as signed to positions for the grand handicap , After several breaks the Hag dropped to i good start with Dr. Hasbrouck in front. Tin others were almost in a line close behind McDoimott immediately drove Lowlanderlr 'tho load , while Tcrrlflor and Iddcslolgh tool second nnd third places respectively. ir ) Hasbrouck was fourth and Lamplighter laj fifth In good position. The others wcro in c bunch and this order was maintained till tin middle of the back stretch , whore Low la'udor and the other leaders drew nwaj from Lamplighter and those composing tin rear bunch. At the head of the back stretct Iddoslcigh dropped back beaten , and Lamp lighter and Banquet began to make tholi run. Lowlander turned Into the homi Btrotch three lengths before Tcrrifler am pr. Hnsbroucit were neck and neck twi lengths before Lamplighter.

The guards uni ofllccrs stationed at the gates cried out th warning : "Nocxltatthlsgatounlilaftor th 'Suburban. " Many did not like the idea o being made prisoners for several hours , bu there was nothing to do but submit. Insld the enclosure It was seen that the fcnco sui rounding the grounds were guarded by Pin kcrtons. Inquiry elicited the fact thatthcs extraordinary precautions were taken t prevent the ( .iultcubur'rf race track peopl mm the Fort I.co peoplu from getting any h formation of the races at Shoopsncad , bu subsequent events showed that this was nc altogether the cause. It wus said later th Jockey club was also lighting the Wester Union company because of dissatisfactlo over the amount of toll they were paying fo the race news to the Western pool rooms ' .The Western Union ofilco was remoml froi the course by order of the officials , and i was therefore Impossible to got any now ; from that track.

Mr. llowcll discovered the Hem , and In making a motion to strike It out ho m-cclultatod n discussion that threatened , for n while , to conumio until dawn. The gentleman from the Seventh said the claim had been stricken out two months ago , and It was beyond his comprehension how the item slipped Into the ordinance , which hail coma in with a favorable report from the llnanco committee , lie considered the contract unjust nnd arbitrary , the claim should not bo allowed , and | n the interests of the city the contract abrogated. Councllmcn Munro , Stcol , Jacobson and Klsaascr took the sumo view ami wanted the bill rejeotcd. They contended that the contract was Illegally entered Into , would novcr stand in court , nnd further that the expense should Iw assessed against the property abutting on the asphalt paved streets. A majority of the council were of n differ ent mind nnd talked fast and furious ly for the claim. Mr. Wheeler was particularly talkative and ho had n typo-'vrlttcn abstract of asphalt street repair proceedings , In- luding Mr. Poppleton's opinion as to the le- tnlity of the contract , lie contended that ha work had been done nnd the city was "ablo , nnd In his opinion the contract was : gal.

It cannot seriously atfeet the American Water Works company to allow the ordinances referred to , to remain unrepcaled , so that the rights of both parting , whatever they may bo , shall not bu prejudiced , or In any manner alTected. This course cannot seriously Injure the water works , as the only ulTi.'Ct would bo to reduce the amount of the July appropriation ordi nance In favor of the water works company to the extent of thu dllTurenco between the prlco ot $10 andGO for the hydrants or- deri'd to bo relocated. Tills would not amount to a very larjo sum and would not sorlously embarrass the water works com pany. If It Is then duslroil by the water works company to test the matter In court for the purpose of determining whether the claim by the city witli reference to the relocation ol hydrants Is correct It can do so. City Tro asurer Bolln was directed to for ward to Cleveland , O. , the certilled check ol $5,000 of Hayes ft Son for collection , and in case of refusal of the bank to cash the same take legal stops to force Collection.

If the decision made by Justice Glbso : yesterday morning In the case of Josephine Smith , who was rbnrged with Inavlng the Grand Central hplcUn May without giving notice , and without jiaylng her board bill , Is sustained by tho. higher courts , Nebraska hotel keepers will experience a severe at tack of that tired feeling. It appears that , Mtss Smith left somoot her b.tggago nt tfip , notol , and upon return ing hero about n woojt ago proceeded to re cover the same bV'replevin ' , much to the disgust of thn Grand" Central's proprietors , who claim that Uipy cannot recover what Miss Smith owes Ihom by replevin or other wise. In effect , according to the way the hotel proprietors understand It , n hotel man has no rights that thopitbllc Is bound to respect ; that the keeper or a hotel or publlo house has no lieu on the personal effects of any guest who may choose to Jump his or her board bill. If Justice Gibson's decision h sustained the remarks of hotel men are likely to bo Interesting , but will doubtless bo unlit for publication.
