horses Puryear's Grinstead and Donohues
Spindrift we're heavily backed as favorites
over Coffee's Carver and Grinstead's D'Ar-
tagnan, the odds being four to one. The bet
ting, as between the two favorites, was largely
in favor of Spindrift, and his defeat by Grin
stead drew heavily upon the pockets of sport
ing men.

the favorites were the winners, but when a
(avorite failed the losses were very heavy It
is estimated that $3.50, 900 changed hands at
Long Branch.
DEPLETED PURSES AT SARATOGA.
The Saratoga season found the representa-
ives of the turf present, ready as ever to
back their favorites. The result of the first
lay is known to the country and appreciated
~ them. McGrath's Aristides and Chesa-
,eake were the second choice, Harney's Ozark
'eing the favorite, and all of them were
beaten by Grinstead's D'Artagnan in the race
or the Travers Stakes, his time being the
astest on record.
Springbok was the favorite for the sweep |
lakes, and was beaten by Grinstead, and in |
Thursdays races the hackers of Sprngbok, |
he favorite for the Saratoga Cup, had the |
ather cold comfort of dead heat between |
heir horse and Preakness.
1t is believed $4,000 was lost by the de- |
eat of the favorites in the first days races at !
aratoga. Mutual pools paid 5000 20 on
irinstead's entry, and there was spasmodic |
lutching at pocket-books all around. People
tho went to Saratoga with their families to
pend the season are now back in the city in
of the event; and old turfmen
egan to argue that it was the better way to
ait until the fall season, when the favorites
ad settled down to their work, before back
lg them further.
1t is predicted that betting for the remain
or OF the season will be lighter and the
reater portion Of it done in this city. The
unusually large attendance and abundance of
oney at the several pool rooms would appear
substantiate this opinion.
