SARATOGA, Aug. i0.-The first week OF
the new Saratoga Racing Associations
Meeting came to an end to-day with
cracking good card Of six races. but the
weather interfered and spoiled all the
mans. The rain came down In torrents
last night for several hours, no that the
track was heavy. As the weather this
afternoon was cloudy and threatening, the
crowd was not up to expectations. In the
two stake events there were upsets. The
victory OF Goldsmith In the Saratoga Special
was very pleasing TO racegoers In view OF
the fact that he Is the property Of w. G.
whitney. But while Goldsmith ran good
game race, all credit for the victory must
70 to his jockey, Nash Turner, just "a
was the case in the Flash Stakes, which
was also won by Goldsmith. Eight two
year-olds ran In the big event. with Smart
Set, who was entered in the name Of Julius
Fleischmann. sporting the colors Of Gott-
fried walbaum, who had purchased him
early in the day at the Fleisohman sale
for Si05OO. The Withdrawals were Green
B. Morriss Cunard. Golden Cottage and
Sombrero and A. II. 4 d. II. Morris's Com
pute. Blue Girl, John Madden's crack
ally, winner Of nearly all the big races this
season. was the one most sought for and
she was the favorite, opening at even money
and closing at to 8. Rossignols easy
win In the mud few days ago caused her
to be made a strong second choice, while
Goldsmith was the best supported Of the
others. being at Q to /.
The race was marred somewhat BY the
long delay at the post for which Tommy
Burns. Rossignols rider. was responsible.
for no kept the field at tho post for almost
forty minutes. Finally, the flag fell and
Rossignol was away second. Burns sent her
right to the front but she only lasted a
flrlong as Blue Girl headed her. The
latter then took lead OF length. and with
Rossingol second and Goldsmith third,
this order remained unchanged to the
stretch where Rossignol had enough and
Goldsmith moved up as did Masterman.
At the last furlong. Blue Girl and Gold
smith drew away from the others and it
looked as II Blue Girl would win easily as
she was going well In hand while Turner
was riding Goldsmith as hard as he knew
how, with both whip and spur. But Gold
smith closed a trihe on Blue Girl and this
seemed to rattle Shaw. who fumbled with
the reins Turner worked harder than
ever and inch by inch Goldsmith cut down
Blue Girls lead.
When Goldsmith got UP to Madden's
filly Shaw all but fell out of the saddle. so
that Turner, riding like demon, was re-
l.l k,,
time to get the verdict by the shortest Of
heads. The race was worth exactly $4,000
and taking the fee Of 81 900 for starting out,
Goldsmith won ti4, 900. az everything went
TO the winner, and in addition handsome
silver cup.
The Travers Stakes followed the Special
and six three-yeaI- ran. Bikes. who
was purchased early In the day by Frank
Farrell, won the race at odds of 20 to l.,
and II is said that Chief Devery won barrel
OF money on the race. There was
much kicking over the way things re-
suited. for Blues fouled Dublin. The Para
der was practically left at the post which
cost him the race and Spencer rode poor
race on Watercolor. The latter opened
the favorite at to S, but at the end was
"A to s, because Chuctanunda was backed
from 4 to to to 1. The Rhymer and
Dublin were also well supported. Dublin
was away in front and Mounce sent him
TO the stretch. Then Blues joined him
and at the furlong pole, while they were
fighting II out, Blues hit Dublin knocking
him out of his stride. Mounce rallied
Dublin and he closed again, while in the
last fifty yards The Parader closed like a
by a short head with Dublin the same in
front of The Parader. Mounce claimed a
foul against Blues but il was not allowed.
Richard Crokers colors were carried
TO victory for the first time this year by
Bellario In the opening event at seven
furlongs. Four Of the seven statrers in
the second race were supported, with Ham,
mock a slight favorite over Eloim and
DR.. Riddle and Alfred Vargrave at short
prices. Dr. Riddles hackers were the win
ners as he led all the way and won the
race by three parts of length with Ham
mock in the place. Eleven two-year-olds
took part in the fifth race with Honolulu
the favorite, but after Emma A. M. had
led to the stretch Hans Wagner, at 10 TO
l. moved into the lead and beat Honolulu
out easily by three lengths. Scratches
reduced the field In the last race to Cambrian
and King Bramble and the latter won the
race cleverly by neck. The summaries
