SARATOGA. Aug. 6-Thcre were two strong
attractions for Saratoga racegoers on the card
to-day One was a stcoplechase and tho other
mile handicap In which some horses OF high
class figured as probable starters. Ono OF
them. Judge Morrow. the Brooklyn Handicap
winner. was scratched because he had prac-
tical walkovor In another race. and Major
Domo. the second horse In the suburban. was
scratched for some unknown reason.
This did not kill the interest In tho sport rs
with such horses rs Huron. Homer. Stone-
nell. and others pitted against each other. the
races promised to be exciting. good crowd
was expected. but tho attendance surprised
even the old stRgcrs at Saratoga who say that
not In many years has such u gathering been
seen at the races here. There were fully five
thousand people onthc track and the new grand
stand presented n most animated appearance.
Speculation was very heavy in the handicap.
With Major Domo and Judge Morrow out
Huron was made hot favorite, and the big
oettors could not get in their money fast
enough: At the close s!opene! was also strong.
