SARATOGA SPRINGS, Aug. 1.-The Ken
ner stakes, of $500 each, half forfeit, for
three year olds exclusively, with $4,000
added by the Association, two miles, had
25 entries, five of which came to the post.
1t was stake well worth winning, for its
value to the winner amounted to over S1O,-
600. The starters were Gen Bufords b C
Enquirer; F Morriss ch Remorseless; Nc
Cormick 4 Pages b C Hamburg; and A Bel
monts Oh Telegram. Mr.. O'FallOn's oh
c Gov Bowie was on the track, but for
some cause or other the judges would not
allow him time to be saddled, the other
horses having been ready to start for some
time, and the drum was tapped, and the
horses sent off without him. In pools En-
quirer was the favorite, his double success
at Long Branch, where he won the Cont
mental stakes and Robbins stakes, mile
heats and two mile heats, in splendid style,
giving him the call over Hamburg. En-
quirer sold for 1000, Hamburg 600, Re-
morseless 400 and Telegram 400.
The betting was very heavy, for
the Hamburg party felt confident
he would retrieve the laurels he
lost in the Saratoga cup race last meet
ing, where Helmbold defeated him. The
Enquirer party were equally confident, for
their horse had proved himself wonderful
racer, and had won his engagements with
out ever having to be reused with whip or
spur, SO easily and cleverly were they
achieved. Telegram went on in the lead,
but was speedily passed by Hamburg and
Enquirer, the former cutting out the run
ming, with Enquirer two lengths be-
hind, for the first mile, which was
run in 1:51t Telegram being two lengths
behind Enquirer as they went under the
string, and Remorseless as far behind Mr..
Belmonts colt. On the first quarter Of the
second mile, Enquirer went up to Ham
burg, passed him without a struggle, and
led him two lengths at the quarter-pole.
Here Hamburg began to fall back, unable
to live the pace, and Enquirer steadily in
creasing his lead galloped home the easiest
of winners by three lengths before Ham
burg, Telegram length behind the latter,
and Remorseless beaten of. Time, 3:4SI

The summer handicap for all ages, $50
entrance, half forfeit, p miles, with 81, 900
added, had five entries-Helmbold, Sir
Archibald, Legatee, Mamie Douglas, Cav
alier and Tasmania. Just as the Kenner
stakes were run for, tremendous rain
storm fell, rendering the track sheet of
mud and water, fetlock deep, and making
the going SO heavy that all the horses were
drawn except Tasmania and Mamie L u
glas. The latter had the call at 800 to
$500 in the pools. Tasmania got off
first, and speedily opened a gap
of twenty lengths on Mamie Douglas,
which was reduced to one-half as they went
under the string on the first mile. On ths
next quarter Tasmania began to come back,
and Mamie Douglas got on even terms
with her before reaching the quarter pole,
the pair running Tapped to the half mile
pole. On the lower end Mamie got her
head in front, and, drawing steadily away,
galloped home an easy winner by SIX
lengths. Time, 4:264.
