Never Headed-keene's Palette

SARATOGA, n. Y, Aug. 1S.-The attend
ance at to-days races was almost equal TO
that of Saturday. The track was fast and
the fields large, furnishing a good quality
of sport. Hermis to-day turned the tables
on Irish Lad and wiped out his defeat in
the Champion on Saturday by defeating the
latter easily by three lengths in the Mer-
chants and Citizens handicap, at mile
and an eighth, and coming within one-fifth
of second of equalng the track record,
ISL 2-5
There were four starters, the other two
being August Belmonts Masterman and
James r. Keenes Rigodon. Irish Lad was
favorite at even money, Hermis being quoted
at to 3. Masterman jumped away as the
barrier went up, and Irish Lad was prompt
ly at his heels. Just beyond the quarter
pole. however Hermis passed them both.
Irish Lad followed his pace, but could not
head him. Rigodon passed Masterman in
the stretch, but finished six lengths behind
Irish Lad. James r. keene's colors were
carried by Palette, the winner of the third
race by half length. j. f. Madden won
