SARATOGA. y. Y, Aug. 22-Tho track
dried overnight. but it was still heavy
next the rail today, though in fairly good
shape On the side. To make matters
worse. scratches were numerous, and
favorites were beaten in three events.
There was one stake event on the
card. which is unusual for Friday. This
was the Amsterdam Stakes. a selling af-
fair. At a mile. with six starters. and
Carbuncle was a l-to-2 favoriIe He did
not have his usual speed. and was out
run in the first part of the race. Clon-
NELL. 7-to-1 chance led all the way.
and beat him out easily.
Fourteen maiden two-year- ran in
the first event, and ". c. Whitneys
colt, PANE, proved the winner. For
ward, the favorite, and Payne made most
of the running, Payne winning by half
a length.
The handicap for all ages, second on
the card, went to the even money favor
ite. Zoroaster. but The Rival would have
beaten him but for being badly shut off
on the far turn.
For the fourth event. Van Ness was
at the end OF the first quarter. he won
driving by two lengths from Seatauket.
Stumbled at Start.
The fifth event, a two-year-old handi-
cap, had Mamie Worth an odds-on fav-
orite. but she stumbled at the start.
which put her out of the race. Lass
O'Linden, at to /. led from start to
finish. and won easily by three lengths
from Niaespot.
II the closing event Bessie Mccarthy
ruled the choice over Miss Buttermilk.
and taking the lead at the last furlong,
she won easily by four lengths from
Kings Favorite.
Complaint was made to the stewards
by several horsemen against Father
BIZ DAILY, as il was said that he ap-
preached several owners and asked them
to claim horses for him in selling races
where Daily did not have horses entered.
and these men did. 1t is said that DAILY
offered money TO J. Grant Lyman, o. L.
Richards. and W. 7. McGrath. the last
named being the one TO do the com
planning. Later on in the afternoon the
stewards announced that Daily had a
perfect right to offer money for q horse
if he wished.
W. c. Whitney and his party areN said
TO have won great deal OF money over
the victory of his colt. Payne, in the
first race. The commissioners were not
sent in the ring until the last moment
During the early part of the race there
was very little betting on Payne, and at
post time he was at 6 10 !.
Good Thing Goes Through.
While the horses were on their way
to the post the commissioners made
their appearance in The ring and all
kinds Of amounts we're offered to the
bookmakers. and the price slowly fell
until to was the best when the horses
got of.
Tommy Burns was chiefly responsible
for the victory, as ne swung very wide
coming into the stretch. and took the
middle Of the track, thereby getting the
best Of the going and winning the race
with Payne hy half length. Payne is /
thought to be a real good colt, and his
race today is bound TO improve him.
SeatauE ran il the name. and colors
Of u. T. Haynan, who purchased him
last night from Il. NJ Zeigler. The price
paid was not made public II is said TO
have been several thousand.
Miss Buttermilk did not take kindly |
10 wearing binders in the last race, and |
delayed the start some time. as she |
danced around on the track in front Of |
the stand and several times it seemed /
as If she would unseat Shea. Tnen the |
blirders were removed and Miss Butter |
milk moved along without any further |
trouble
