SAM HILDRETH’S SUBURBAN

Winner of Metropolitan and Brooklyn Scores Another Triumph. New York, June 25. —Fitz Herbert, the three-year-old son of Ethelbert-Mor-ganatic, easily won the Suburban handicap from six other starters. Bearing the colors of Sam Hildreth, Fitz Herbert, with Eddie Dugan up, went the distance of a mile and a quarter in 2:03 2-5, which is only 2-5 of a second slower than the record for the event, hung up by that sterling handicap horse, Ballot. The four-year-old Alfred Noble was second, finishing six lengths behind the winner, and Fayette, a smart three-year-old, was third. Hildreth this year has* won the Metropolitan and Brooklyn handicaps. The play in the betting ring on the Hildreth stable was heavy and the outside public had no difficulty in getting wagers down.
