New York, June 8.—No race in the history of the American turf has made such a strong appeal to the affections of patrons of racing as the Suburban Handicap, a contest at one mile and a quarter. At one time—about 20 vears ago—the city fathers had under consideration a proposition to malka ! Suburban Day a legal half-holiday in this city. After a brief considera- { tion a straw vote was taken and it was found that the proposed measurce would not pa thercupon killed in committee.
