THE RACING.

The weather turned out delightful after the
threats OF rain this morning, yet there was not
very large gathering at the course to witness the
racing. The track was in most excellent condi-
ton lor fast time, and the horses engaged showed
to better advantage than they would have
done on any other track In the coun.
try. The racing to-day was for the benefit OF
the Saratoga Rowing Association, and but
few OF the native Saratogians patronized the
course to aid in encouraging the athletic inclina-
ton which ls now taking such strong hold Of the
people, and while 1t centres In Saratoga, adds
much TO the benefit OF the town. Three races
were on the card; the first dash Of tnree-quar-
tiers OF q mile, the second a selling race OF mile
and quarter, and the third handicap for all
a es, a dash OF two miles. All of which came on
in good style and were much appreciated by the
spectators.

seven starters, comprising ". r. Travers' bay
