ON THE RACE TRACK.
At toga

Saratoga, N. Y, August 10.-Despite a
cold rain, a large crowd attended the Sara
toga races this afternoon. Scratches were
frequent though the track was in good con-
dition, as shown by the time made. The
Lemp handicap was the stake feature of the
card. Bramble Rose and West Baden were
Withdrawn and Long Isle added. 1t proved
only an exercise gallop for Maribert. The
Scotchman, a 80 to l shot, made things
lively, as he led into the stretch, but Mari
bert was there all the time. 1t remained
for the fourth race to furnish the days ex-
element. Tragedian was a red hot favor
lite and the money piled in on him. Speckles
and the Bachelor were even up Tragedian
went to the front and stayed there to the
lower turn where the Bachelor headed him.
In the run home Tragedian again let out,
but sulked at the front and the Bachelor
showed in front Maher shook Tragedian
up and he came passing under the wire on
close terms with the Bachelor, so close that
the public thought that Tragedian had won,
but the judges decided otherwise and their
position admits of no question Kisses
groans and the usual cries greeted the GO
ing up of the numbers For a time con-
fusion reigned, but the "kckers" deciding
that they had no show, relapsed into
silence. Dread had an easy win in the first,
as did Alpin in the second. Both were IA
vorites. Rideau galloped away with the
last event. Ben Hadad, the favorite SEEM
ed helpless.
Pierre Lorillord will make his reappear-
anee on the American turf tomorrow, after
an absence of three years, the filly Gratia
being his first entry.
