Excellent Promise for
the Coming Races
at Saratoga.
SURPRISE BY PEDESTRIAN.
LepantO'S Victory Correctly Pre-
diCtGd in This Column.

The meeting at Saratoga Springs, other.
wise known as " Horse Haven" will begin on
Thursday next. II bids fair to be the most
successful meeting ever held In that land Of
many waters. The new management has
made strenuous endeavors to lure high-class
horses 20 the course, and has succeeded
The Dwyers, Green b. Morris, Walcott q
Campbell and other prominent owners from
the East and West win ship their strings to
4" Horse Haven" early next week. Racine
viii be sent on from the West, and some ex-
ce!lent races will no doubt be witnessed. All
this means harm to racing In this section OF
the country.
Monmouth Park will have TO scratch hard
to furnish good racing, for with all the cracks
At saratoga the quality OF racing here Is
bound to be lowered Had not the Monmouth
Association been driven from New Jersey, In
all probability the meeting at Saratoga would
have resulted as in years past-playing sec
ond fiddle TO Monmouth. The Brighton meet
ing Will not suffer so much, having more
horses now on It's list than can be made use
OF, and few could easily be dispose OF.
The surprise Of the day at Brighton yester-
day was the defeat OF ZOriing by Pedestrian.
The former has all along been rated us the
spediest flly OF the year, while Pedestrian
was held 50 low in the estimation OF his
owner, Eugene Leigh, that the latter came
very near giving him away early In the year.
IOrling was only bought few days ago by
Philip Dwyer, md the price paid was fancy
one. The only explanation Is that Pedestrian
Is u vastly improved horse. The time he ran
the flve furlongs In was fast enough TO beat
almost anybody's horse. ltlooks like another
case OF ReclaTe and Gregory.
LepantO won the last race yesterday In a
canter, surprising every one but the readers
OF THE EVENING WORLD, who played him on
the writer's tip. LcpantO's performance led
many turf writer's TO Crtticlse hisiSlast race
and Intimate that there should be an inVesti-
CATION. Granted that Lepantos last race was
poor one, what did he have TO beat yester-
day2
ing her twenty-three pounds. LepantO led 10
the head OF the stretch, the other day. This
was an Improvement over his previous race.
ON paper II looked good thing Tor Lepanto.
Money Maid won the second race yesterday
and put to the credit OF her owner, L. g. Gren-
ner, thC first purse he has won In several years.
II was rather hard on Grenner to have his
horse run up, but some individual bid Money
Maid up SlOJ over her selling price, at which
ngure her owner bought her In,
THE EVENING WORLD yesterday tipped four
out or the seven winners at Brighton. Money
Maid and vital spark were named 20 run 70.
spCCtively second and third In the second
race, but they moved up a peg and finished
l-2. II Is n poor day indeed that THE EVEN
IEG WORLD does not beat every other paper
In the city IN giving winners.
Mike Dwyer did not under estimate the
abilities Of Bellevue when he offered a good
price Tor the colt the other day.
Yesterday Bellevue ran six and hall fur
"A In tor In 1 ~ 4
within three-quarters OF second OF the
record.
Mr.. T. Danaher, who trained the gelding
Martel, said to be owned by Charley OK,
sprung good thing on the ring yesterday
with the abOve-named geldlng. The ODDS
aIOut him at the opening were 20 to 1, and
they were pounded down, TO 2 10 az the
close. The good thing won hancily. Charley
ok Is said " have won ell 900 by MaTtels
win.
Honest John Croker also cut a good thing
loose I'm the second race. II was Aart, and
the knowing ones took any price they could
get about him. Repeated Dreakaways killed
his chances, Tor he ran half a mile and stopped
badly.
The money went IN on vccalite in such
quantities yesterday that the Medusa filly's
price receded IA the betting The Judges
were Informed OF this, and they warned Dem
mis- Watson that he must ride TO win. Dennis
did ride hard, but NOcallte won In canter'
II Is hard 20 reconcile the performance OF
Autocrat yesterday with the performance OF
Autocrat a few days previous.
The Brighton Beach Association gives tho
first OF IT, long-distance races to-day. The
distance Will BE- gradually Increased until the
lilnit OF four miles Is reached These races
Will prove popular with the crowds.
TemisCamingue, VINO ran at Brighton yes
terday, should receive a special allowance In
weight. His name IS enough for him to carry.
Bender caused the supporters OF the sister
10 Jim Douglas hlly much eNaSperatiOn yes
terday hy pulling mp Just before reaching the
wire and letting vital spark nip him Ior the
place.
