sARATOGA--PREsENTA PPEARANCE-THE
SECOND RACE MEETING, ETC.
SARATOGA, August 10.

SARATOGA, August 10.
From all accounts Long Branch, New
port, the White Mountains, and all other
places of summer resort are crowded !;
none, however, can be compared to tbis
place at present. All of the principal
hotels and boarding houses have been
filled for a week, and have been compelled
to obtain sleeping apartments for their
guests in private residences. Now the
races have commenced, the crowd becomes
larger than ever, and for one am puz-
lied to learn how this great influx will be
disposed of. The presence of circus
here with its canvas tent suggests some
thing not impracticable. Extra trains are
run to accommodate the languid public
and enable them to participate in the
general jam at this place.
THE SECOND RACE MEETING.
To-day was initiated the second meet
lug OF the Saratoga Races. In the interim
between the two meetings here, the Mon
mouth Park, Chamberlain's new race

bles in attendance here now, and at the
first meeting too, had an excursion to
"The Branch" and took part in the sport.
The managers of the Saratoga Assooia-
ton have been highly elated at the pros
poets Of the second meeting, the number
of strangers, turfmen, horses, etc, ensur-
ing certain triumph for their plan of
two meetings in one season. Pool selling
was unusually brisk last night, all parties
having plenty of money at the outset.
