The Herald furnishes the following ac-
count of the race for Trayer's Stake at
Saratoga: The horses had good send of,
Mccormack getting the best Of it, SPRING
bak second, Meradoc third, Tom Bowling
fourth, FelloWcraft fifth, Catesby sixth,
| Count d'Oisay standing still at the post and
rot making a move until the others were
| 800 yards away. Bowling outran all the
colts up the shute. AS he turned into the
track at the half mile pole he led 2 lengths,
Mccormack second, Meradoc third, Spring
box fourth, Fellowcraft fifth and Waverley
sixth. Count dOrsay pulled up by order
| OF his trainer, when he reached there.

Meradoc third, Springbok fourth, Fellow

| the home stretch at q racing pace, and
passed the stand 8 lergths ahead As
soon as the horses left the stand, Spring
box dashed out after Tom and as he ran
around the upper turn, closed finely on him.
At the quarter Tom led one length, and it
was apparent that all the other horses were
| out of the race. On the back stretch the
| contes. was simply grand between these
two horses, Tom leading from halt to
| full length all the way. At the half mile
pole, the race was terrific, and Tom had his
| tail in Springbok's face. On the lower turn
| 1t was evident that SpriDgbok could not
pass the gallant bay, and all eyes were
upon them. The other horses were very
| far behind, and there was not one who
seemed to notice them. As Tom approach
ed the three. quarter pole, Springbok's head
was at bis hips, and they swung around the
turn very fast. At this moment Springook
was seen to fall, and then the affair ended.
Tom came on alone and galloped leisurely
home, twenty lengths ahead Of WaVerly,
who was like distance in front of Meradoc,
Fellowcraft fourth, and Mccormack fifth.
Sprinsbok came canteriBg riderless up the
| home stretch. The poor lad, Jimmie Roe,
who rode him, lay where he fell against the
fence, and was very fortunate in not being
struck by the horses that had to pass him.
