DEATH OF THE FAMOUS RACE HORSE LEX
INGT0N,

We have received the sad intelligence that Lex
ngton, the greatest race horse that America ever
produced, died ut Mr.. Alexander's stud farm at
Spring Station, Ky few days ago. This grand
old horse ran the fastest four miles that were ever
run where accurate watches and timekeepers were
in vogue. He was the sire OF more horses than
probably any horse that ever lived The best Of his
get were Norfolk, Asteroid, Kentucky, Harry Bas
sett, Kinghsher Idlewild and Tom Bowling Aste-
roid and Kentucky have already presented to the
turf some noble grandsons Of the old horse. King
fisher and Harry Bassett will, II they live, be
equally successful If high form, pure blood and
splendid racing powers justify such prediction.

SARATOGA RACES.

After the late race meeting over the beautiful
Saratoga Course, but few horses left there to run
at Long Branch, about one hundred remaining to
perfect preparations for the August meeting, which
is now at hand. AS is always the case, the second
meeting will be even more grand than that OF July.
The steeds that came down to the sea are return
ing, and all the famous horses will be congregated
| at Saratoga before the opening day next Friday.
1t is pleasure, without labor or Inconvenience,
to attend racing at Saratoga. The course is but
three-quarters OF mile from Broadway, the drive
always well sprinkled and going to the races never
involves damage to fine dresses, hence the ladies
IN great numbers grace the Grand Stand and COM
plete what would without their presence be IN
complete-the enjoyment OF the nOblest OF sports.
One Of the finest races of the meeting will be the
nrst one-that for the Kenner Stakes, for three.
year-Olds two miles, for which there are ffty-nine
nominations. Prominent among those expected to
start are Mr.. Belmont's Gray Planet and his brown
colt Wade Hampton; Colonel McDaniel's famous
colt 10 Daniels; Major Bacon's fine colt by Jack
Malone, dam Sea Breeze; Mr.. Haness' Meteor the
only colt that ever beat 10 Daniels; Mr.. jennings
two nne colts Cape Race and Silent Friend; and
Mr.. Litteps colt London, the favorite OF Cap
tain Moore's stable. Cape Race and London have
recently been caught IN the act Of running some
fast private trials. The race for the Kenner Stakes
will be one Of great interest.
fine shower fell on Sunday at Saratoga, much
to the delight Of the thrOngs of pleasure-seeking
people now there; but much more to the owaers OF
the horses now in training Showers are always
blessings at Saratoga to racing men, and few
places in summer are oftener thus blessed; hence
the fine track for training and racing. The arti-
fetal sprinkling OF the streets and the principal
drives, though ndustriousy and well done by those
on whom the duty devolves, fails to give to the
atmosphere that delightful freshness impaired by
natures cooling showers.
To those who have not visited Saratoga for few
years past its general Improvement and immense
hotels will be great surprise. Its public houses
are not only vast In extent, but are magnificent,
and OF character very different from those at
many other summer resorts. The season IS now
about at its height as regards numbers of visitors
and fashionable display. The races, to begin ON
FRIDAY Of this week, have already drawn large
numbers to the village, and before the bugle calls
the horses to the first contest there will be an un-
precedented jam In the hotels Fortunately the
citizens have learned to throw open their private
dwellings to dodgers, and the hotels and stylish
restaurants are ample for the subsistence OF as
many as NAV 90 there to see the races

track yesterday afternoon The first was q contest
between the gray mare Butterfly and the
black gelding Plympton, which was to have
been mile heats, best three in five, in har-

previous one behind Plympton Then the driver of
Pympton brought the horse up to the judges stand
and asked to have him withdrawn from the con-
test, and showed them that the horse had "the

the race to Butterfly.
