SARATOGA, Aug. 4.-The first race of
the day was the twelfth renewal of the
Saratoga Stakes, "a dash Of three-quarters
of a mile, for two-year-olds, which
brought out the following very excel
lent lot Of starters, including several
youngsters most royalty related: Col.
McDaniel's Brother to Harry Bassett;
A. Belmont's Sultana, asister of Bas.
sets great rival, Monarchist, and Ad-
elaide, sister to Joe Daniels, boswell
& Cammack's Osseo, by Eclipse out of
Olitipa's dam; p. Lorillard's Parole, a
brother to James A., winner of the
July and August stakes at Long
Branch, and Durango, by Jack Malone
out of Fanny Barrow, she by Albion;
Struggled & Clay's Blue Coat, by Jack
Malone out of Monica, by importSd
Sovereign, and J. M. Harney's Ath-
lene, by Pat Mulloy out Of Ann Travis.
OF these the Brother to Bassett, Sui
tana, Adelaide, Durango, Suuburst,
Blue Coat and Abilene ran for the
first time in public, and OsseO had run
without success for the Flash Stakes
on the third day of the meeting. The
race was q good betting one, especially
between the representatives Of the Lo.
rillard, Belmont and Mcdaniel stables.
After five breakaways-two of which
would have been splendid starts but
for the stubborness of Abilene, who re-
peatedly refused to Join the other
horses, while in each the Brother of
Bassett went nearly quarter of mile
the flag went down with the nine
well up, Osseo leading, Parole second,
Sultana third, followed by Blue Coat,
Sunburst, Brother to Bassett, Abilene
and Adelaide. Running down the
fractional track, Parole took the lead,
and as they swung into the main track
at the half-mile pole was leading, lap
ped by Sultana and Brother to Bassett,
with 0sseO fourth, followed by Blue
Coat, Sunburst and Adelaide. When
well into the main track the leading
trio drew away from the others, and
halfway round the turn were leading
by three open lengths. Coming into
the hOmestretch Parole, well In hand,
was leading on the inside, with Sultana
second going very wide, Brother. to
Bassett next. followed by Osseo and
Adelaide. When well into the track,
the last came very fast, and running
through the field rapidly passed OsseO,
Brother to Bassett and Sultana, the
two latter falling back rapidly Dan
Sparkling, keeping Parole well to work,
had all beaten at the lower end of the
stand, and coming away won easily by
six lengths IN l:lS2, with Adelaide
second, half a length in front of Sui
tans, she beating the Brother to Bas-
sett, aftel a whipping finish for the
place; Abilene, Blue Coat, Sunburst,
Durango and Osseo following In the
order named.
Parole is by bennington out Of
Maiden, she by Lexington out of Kitty
Clark by Glencoe. He won the July
Stakes, three-quarters of a mile, at
Long Branch in l:174, and the August
Stakes, one mile, in l:54, which, coupled
with his three-quarters, as above, IN
the mud stamps him as q No. l race
horse.
SEQUEL STAKES.
For the twelfth renewal of the Sequel
Stakes, two miles, for three-year-olds,
winning penalties, the following, out Of
twenty-fOur nominations, started, and
as none of them had won a three year
old stake each carried 10 pounds.
Clabaugh's Water, by Yauxhall; Nc
Daniels Paul Pry, by Enquirer;
Harney,s president Grant's) Gen.
Harvey, by Pat Molloy, and Lewis &
Co.'S VagabOnd, by Vandal. All of
them had run before, with the excep-
ton OF Paul PTy. ViatOr, while not a
winner, had shown well In all his pre-
vious efforts; Vagabond and Gen.
Harvey had also run without success,
the latter finishing third for the Jersey
Derby, but being disqualified for the
place by reason of an accidental foul.
He was well thought of for the present
race, as was also Gen. Harvey, they
selling as first and second choices.
At the fall of the flag Swim jumped
away with the lead on Yiator, followed
by Vagabond, General Harvey and
Paul Pry. So fast did Bobby move
away that at the quarter he was lead
ing five lengths, with VagabOnd sec
ond, length In front of Paul Pry,
General Harvey trailing four lengths
behind. There was no change In place
In running down the backstretch or
round the lower turn. Swim keeping
straight along, at a good, strong pace.
Coming up the stretch, Feakes brought /
Harvey up, and, passing Paul Pry and
Vagabond, was running a strong Sec
ond as they went by the stand, Viator
leading five lengths, the mile having
been run in l:484, Paul Pry following
Harvey length away, neck IN front
of Vagabond. Swim kept ViatOr GO
ing right strongly round the turn, SO
that, although Harvey was running at
a lively pace, he gained but little
on Viator until nearing the pines be-
yOnd the stables, when Swim began
pulling so that to the spectators it
looked very mucu as if Harvey
would beat the Maryland colt, only
two lengths separating them at the
half, with the other two, VagabOnd
and Paul Pry, both beaten off. Swing
ing round into the far turn, the MIS-
souri, colt got up even with Viator, the
pair running locked for nearly a fur
long. Ou entering INC uOLlIStlCbLh
Swim again cut adrift, and coming
away at once was leading a good
length at the three-quart er pole. Keep
ing on he gradually increased his lead,
Feakes doing all in his power to get
Harvey up, but it was useless, as
Viator was much the fresher: Swim
keeping well on at a good pace won by
two lengths in an easy gallop in 3;434,
Harvey second, fully eighty yards in
front Of Vagabond and Paul Pry.
Viator is a chestnut colt with a star.
He stands about - hands inches
high, and was bred by his owner, MIR.
z. A. Olabaugh, of Baltimore. He is
by Vauxhall (he by Lexington out Of
Veronica, by imported YORKSHIRE out
of Heatherbell, by imported Balrownie
out of imported l'Anglaise, she by
Hobbie Mobile. Viator is a good
looking colt, with excellent shoulders,
body, hips, quarters and stiles.
