THE RACING.

The track was heavy to-day, but not 30 bad as
was anticipated from the rains OF Saturday and
Sunday. No race track In America dries so rapidly
as this one at Saratoga few hours Of sunshine
change mud to dust, and but very little
rain will again turn the dust TO mud.
When the horses started the track was
considered q slow one and yet very fast
time was made by the winners. Three races were
on the card--the first being mile dash, the Sec
ond dash OF two miles and an eighth and the
third q handicap hurdle race Of two miles over
eight hurdles. All the races came on promptly
and we're soon over. the quantity being rather OF
the homeopathic order. The Saratoga Association
oupht to give more races or introduce heat race
each dav as ten minutes or less Of running Is
hardly enough to appease the appetites Of healthy
turfmen.
The frst race had ten starters. These were r.
