SUBURBAN AFTERMATH. Wiiile the honors among the three-year-olds that ran in the Suburban Handicap unquestionably belong to Montgomery and that son of Iessara must be ranked in the first Might of his age, allowance must be made for Electioneer, because of his collision with Cairngorm and through which he completely lost his stride. After the race jockey Mountain said of Electioneer: "Do not think for a moment that Electioneer is not a good horse. He will win other good races, oven if he did lose the Suburban. He would have won that but for the interference. He settled down to racing so well after leaving the barrier that I had visions of an easy victory until the trouble came." So an early meeting between Montgomery and Eelectioneer is anxiously awaited. Montgomery is carded to start In the Equality J Stakes tomorrow, but Kleetioneer, while eligible, is not among those named to go to the post and it is not considered likely that trainer Lakeland will add him to the field. Electioneer is in the Swift Stakes, to be run Wednesday, but Montgomery is not. The son of Iessara is In the Sheepshead Hay Handicap, to be decided Thursday, but the son of Voter was not nominated. However, they have a chance of coming together in the Coney Island Jockey- Club Handicap, the hong Island Handicap, the Advance Stakes, the Spindrift Stakes and the Commonwealth Handicap. Frank Jill ran a smashing good race for a trifle more than a mile, but he has proved couclusively that one mile ami a quarter is further than he cares to travel in high class company. It is evident that Superman was making too big a weight concession. Walter Miller says Running Waters sole trouble was a lack of speed. "If she had been as good as she was at times last year," said he, "she could have gone to the first turn witli a lead of three lengths after the Hying start she got." Jockey Sandy handling of Montgomery has earned for him much praise from New York horsemen. C. E. Durnell says that Nealon worked better for the Suburban than any horse lie had ever trained for any race, with the exception of McChesney. He made John W. Gates and his son Charles acquainted with this and the result was immense profit to those heavy speculators.
