SARATOGA, Aug. 1.-The second week OF the
racing carnival was ushercd In under genial
auspices. The sun shone from an uncloudod
sky, and the temperature reached the happy
medium that makes racing enjoyable. The
track was somewhat dead, and lacked the elias
ticity for which 1t is noted, but by tomorrow It
will be fast. The racing crowd was considerably
augmented by the arrival OF the immigrants"
from Aqueduct, and twenty.oiRht books lined
up to meet the demands of the players. Tho
programme consisted entirely Of overnight
events, and ns three pronounced favorites and
two heavily backed second choices won, the tai
emit had tho best of the game.
For the maiden two-year-old race, which DO
gan the sport. The Huguonot, n full brother 70
Henry OF Navarro. was ~favorito, and tho result
was mover in doubt after the flag fell. although
Hairpin was in front for three furlongs, but on
sufferancc only. Tho second race was the mo-
dunn OF very strong betting. Libertine opened
favorite, but q strong support at tho close
brought Hugh Penny's price from to 1 down
to 5 to 2. The westerners had all the best OF
the argument. for Lord Zeni soon showed that
he had the speed OF the party, and taking q lead
of two lengths in the first furlong, increased
that advantage half a length moro at the end.
Hugh Penny getting tho place money by the
same distance from Regulator.
For the mile race Royal Rose always had the
call at 9 to 5. but there was q big plunge on
Challenger that brought tho odds about him
from 4 to l down to 8 TO 5 at post time. Thorpe
tried to make a runaway race OF It with tho
~favorite, and she led four lengths into tho
stretch. but she tired ut the end and the result
was a rafting finish in which the mare got the
verdict by q short half length from Challenger,
who was but q neck better than Rosso. The time,
1:43io. was the best thus far Of the meeting.
The fourth race, although having but four
starters. proved to be the feature Of the day.
Joe Miller was tho ~favorite at oven money at
tho opening, but there was such a rush for
Shasta Water that Miller's price went back to
9 to 2, and tho lilly at post time was az evens.
kinEstone was not without friends at . TO 2,
while Carib was backed from 40 down TO ~ TO
/. and came near creating the sensation OF the
meeting. for with a stronger hnisher than Carr.
70 BY S a short half length, WITH Carlo ccirospss
tho line a head better than the favorite.

Bluebeard was an odds-on favorite. and having
got much the best Of a bad start led all the way,
