Martha II. Takes the HendriS.

SARATooA. Aug. 0.-The largest crowd OF the
meeting attended the races this afternoon. and
was treated to some excellent sport. The fea-
ture OF the day was the first running OF the
Grand Union Stakes Of $4,000. for two-year-
olds, which brought out the best field that has
started since tho meeting began. Nine went to
the post. with Sir Hubert the favorite at 2 TO 1.
The winner turned up in the second choice,
Kentucky Colonel, who. after half an hours de-
lay. took the lead at the fall OF the Gag and held
1t all the way. winning in q gnllop from Mar
timas, who interfered with Sir Hubert in the
run through the stretch. or the ~favorite would
have been second. The other stake event was
the Hendrie. for three-year-old lilies. The
Bromley pair. Bona Dea and Kenmore Queen,
were the f~Rvorites for the race at 8 to 8. but
failed to land in the money. Martha H., backed
down from z to /. came through In the stretch
and won easily from Laverock. who had got
the worst Of the start. but came strong and
secured second money.
DR.. Eichberg, with Tod Sloan up. had moth.
ing to beat in the opening event. and was an
odds-on ~tavorite. He won very easily. Sloan
got himself into trouble before and after the
race. He agreed several days ago to ride DIR.
Eichberg. but before the race he went TO Tom
WEIGH. trainer for the ~Fleischmann string. and
said that he was going to ride Satirist instead.
