Ones, But Is Beaten by Short Hose

in Three Year-Old Event.

SARATOGA, Aug. 15.-Another large
crowd made the trip to the Saratoga
track this afternoon, and while they
witnessed some good racing. it was a
poor day for speculation, as fayorites
we're bowled over in succession. only
one out of the six winning
In the absence of a stake event. the
fifth race, handicap at mile and q
furlong, for all ages, with six starters
was the feature. On the strength of his
good race with Morningside a few days
ago, Caughnawaga was selected as the
best. and was made 6-to-5 favorite
with Zoroaster the second choice backed
from 6 10 to Is to 5. while The Rival
Baron Pepper. and Himself were not
neglected.
good start was made. and Himself
went TO the front, with Caughnawaga at
his head. They ran in this order, two
lengths before Zoroaster, TO the stretch.
Himself then had enough, and Zoroastei
went to the front and won by a neck.
Olefiant Finishes Third.
The first two events were won by
Short Hose and Moor. The first was a
handicap for o-year-olds, and Olefiant
who had beaten Judith Campbell in the
West, scared half the field out and was
made an odds-on favorite. Short Hose
and Mamie Worth were we'll played, but
principally for the place. Olefant appar-
emily did not have her speed, for the
best she could do was 10 take third
money.
Mamie Worth went to the front after
the start and remained a length in the
van to the last furlong. Then o'Connor
eased up. which proved costly, as Short
Hose closed with a rush. and, catching
Mamie Worth, beat her out by a length.
Had o'Connor gone on Mamie Worth
would have won. sq
