SARATOGA, July 26.-There are clouds
In the racing sky and nlutterings OF an ap-
preaching storm. August Belmont, Pierre Lorlard,
George L. Lorard and ID. ID. Withers trying 10 In
duce the Saratoga Racing Association to cut short s
in order that August meeting may be held at
Long Branch. They want the Saratoga managers TO
hurry forward their stake and give up their extra
days SO as TO conclude their contests
or before August I5 To this the Saratoga
reply that serious injury would be
caused to the interests of Saratoga by such step.
Racing here has taken place for years eary mp
end of August and to cut of the last two weeks would
be a serious blow the hotels, which generally do
excellent business during these weeks and would se
ouy eubarrass the Saratoga Association. Both sides
arc persistent and it now seems probable that con-
test win result and both associations will be
no ding meetings at the same time. This would be
misfortune TO the American turf, for unless all the
racing associations work in harmony they cannot
prosper II the the Lorilsrds aud Mcsss
Belmont and withers withdrawn from Saratoga TO
run at Long Branch, interest in the races here
will be much lessened, because the Lori-
lard stables the best In the country. On
the other hand large number of will support
the Saratoga managers in the controversy and there
though many noted viii be absent The Saratoga
racing urge the officers OF the Long Brancn Aseo
citation to delay their meeting until September I, wnen
there will be no conflict. This Messrs L0rard, Belmont
and wthers unwilling they say the Long
Branch season will be over then. But Long Branch ia
easily reached from NewYork, and the journey Is 80
pleasant in September, that II is believed here that
