| SARATOGA, Aug. 7-Although the sky threat
ened rain at intervals during the morning aud while the
in progress, showers interfered with the
sport A rather unusual circumstance was that the
noted lightweight jockey Barrett did not get victory
to-day although he rode in all four races. His riding
was as skul as IT ia wont to be- but the horses under
him did well 20 his Efforts All the races were
won by Eastern horses-Mr. Bemonts Genelg hly Har-
yey welch's Princeton, Dwyer Brothers Bramble and
the same owners Rhadamantbus. There are many
Western horses here but only one triumph has been
obtained by Western stable-that OF Dan k last week
Naturally Western turmen Respondent The asso-
citation s doing all in its power to give them opportun
ties for success by excluding winners in certain races
and offering generous allowances for beaten horses but
there are so many lhOrOughbreds In the Eastern
stables that the Western men are still disconsoaie
