Saratoga Strings Y Y Aug. lit was possible
to-day TO venture out of doors without iurs or
storm clothes. but the racing which the assocla-
rion offered its patrons was scarcely worth the
tourney 10 the fnclosure. The fields light

track was IN even shape than yesterday.
Some idea of its condition may be had from the
time made By the various winners. Monteson re-
ouired one minute and fourteen seconds to gallop
