SARATOGA RACES.
Three Splendid Races Yesterday Fanny
Ludlow, Vauxhall and C0rsi-
can the Winners.

SARATOGA August 7, 1889.
The patrons Of the turf were again blessed with
nne day and q good track to-day while the pro-
Rramme Of the sport was the finest that has been
orrered during the meeting thus far. Three races
were run and the fields in all were large The races
run were:-First q selling race, In which there
we're nine starters, the dash being q mile
and q quarter. with the usual allowances
FOR value Of the horses The second race
was three mile dash, and for this
there were seven starters while the third race was
. mile and three-quarters, with five entries. The
beating on all the races was immense Fanny Lud-
VOW being the lavorite In the nrst vauxDall In the
second race and Helmbold1ln the third.
The first race was brilliant affair, the nine horses
engaged doing their best from the start to the finish
and running very close together the whole distance
They all carried light weights, Fanny Ludlow having
q lbs up; r. b. Connolly, 1o2 lbs B0nuie Braes, 90
lbs Wiley, 90 lbs; Bayswater, 1903 lbs Jubal 90 bs
Lizzie Rogers 90 lbs; Urbana, 90 lbs, ana Scotia
% lbs Fanny Ludlow, the winner, was sold imme-
aiately after the race for $4,000.
The second race, however, was regarded as the
great event Of the day. OF the fastest horses
IN the country were supposed to be engaged In 1t
Pompey Payne and Vauxhail-and the betting on the
result, horse against horse was heavy. When the
had run three miles before, but both had been
winners at two miles, and 1t was supposed that both
could go much longer journey. II was well known
that Pompey Payne had run mile IN
1A4 in public in the South, ana there were rumors
that In trial OF Prospect Park he had run mile
With shees on U LA He also beat vespuclus two
mile dash with the greatest east at that place, and
he was looked upon by his ba ckers az nvlncib.e at
any distance. vauxhall's recent performances have
al been good with the exception Il the race with
Bayonet where he was not allowed to run to
win; but he showed enough speed uear
the conclusion Of that race to induce all who wit
messed 1t to back him unreservedv. just before the
start Vauxnall was the favorte against the field,
which comprised Pompey Payne, Abdel Kader. The
Banshee. Flora McIvor, M. II. Sanford ana Nellie
Mcdonald Vauxhall won the ruce very easily,
while the renow ned Pomrey Payne did the most
mserabIy mean attempt at running that
We ever saw by q horse Of such
high renown. He quit like q dunghln
fowl before he ran two miles, and after that grew
worse and worse to the end. His owner snd trainer
must have been most egregiously deceived In the
capabilities Of their horse or they heartlessly I'M
posed on their friends by pretending they Ed first
heavy amounts. Abdel kader, The Banshee and .
Flora Mclyor all beat him handly, and there Is no
doubt that had the race been at heats Vauxhall
could have distanced him.
The third race was very spirited affair between
