WATERBoY THE WINNER.
J. E. Haggin's Horse Takes S1s,000
 Saratoga Handicap.

Saratoga Springs, N. Y, Aug. 9.-The Saratoga Handicap of 2,000 for three year-olds and upwards at a mile and a quarter was run to-day. It was won by J. B. Haggins' Waterboy in the ex- cellent time of 2:05 S-5. The track was 1 in perfect condition.
 Waterboy and the Whitney pair Gold smith and Gunfire, opened equal favor | ties at 1-2 to 1, and the play was about equally divided between the two. Alexander Shields and his friends wait l ed until the price on Hunter Raine reached 20 to i and then played him heavily for place and show.
 The horses got off to a perfect start with Gunfire, Hermis and Caughna- Waga little In frone epast the stand. The horses ran well punched until the three e-quarters when Hermis, who had been leading, fell back beaten. Water boy, who was splendidly handled, took the lead down the stretch followed by Hunter Raine, who had managed to get through from the rear division. Hunter Raine forced Waterboy to a wild drive but the race was never in doubt Caughnawaga, against whom
 as good as 10 to l to show could be ob-
 tained, finished third well in advance Of Heno. Both of the Whitney pair were we'll back at the finish. Hermis
 dropped back so fast that South Trim
 ble trod on his heels at the turn and fell. The summary:
 Tue Saratoga Handicap, one mile and
 . quarter, Waterboy, B to 5 and even,
 won; Hunter Raine, 15 to and 3 to N, second; Caughnaga, 50 to 1 and 20
 to I, third. Time 2:05 3-5. Heno, Gum

GREAT TENNIS MATCH TO-DAY
American and British Cracks wIII Meet nt Longwood.

Boston, Aug. 3.-Two American and
 two British tennis players, W. A.
 Larned and R. D. Wrenn, and R. F. and
 H. L. Doherty, will cross racquets on
 the courts of the LongWood Cricket club
 tomorrow in the first of a series of
 matches for the international tennis
 challenge trophy presented three years
 ago by Dwight F. Davis of this country.
 This is the third attempt which British
 players have made to life the Davis
 cup. On the first year that it was of fered the foreigners were badly beaten at Longwood. A year ago the two
 Dohertys with Dr. Joshua Pim made
 another bid for the cup, and won two of the five points necessary for its possess sion. The British team this year is again made up of the two Dohertys with H. s. Mahoney as third member. It was announced this afternoon that
 the two Dohertys would play in both singles and double matches, leaving
 Mahoney as substitute in case of acci-
 dent.
 Two matches will be played to-mor-
 row afternoon each beginning at o'clock, Larned will meet R. F. Doher- ty, the elder of the two brothers. while Wrenn will face H. l.. Doherty, the present British champion. On Wednes- day R. D. and c. l.. Wrenn will play the Doherty brothers in doubles, and on Thursday, if the contest has not been
 decided before that time there will be two more matches in singles, Larned playing with H. l.. Doherty and Wrenn meeting R. E. Doherty.
 Each match will counts as one point, 1 and the majority will decide the contest.
 The defeat of R. x. Doherty by Lar ned in the interna tionals last year at Newport makes the latter the favorite in their match tomorrow, but the well
 known strength of the brothers in doubles leads to the belief that they will
 be successful over the Wrenn brothers on Wednesday. There is much specula- tion, therefore, as to the outcome of the
 match between R. D. Wrenn and H. IL. Doherty.
 The matches will all be played in the afternoon unless a postponement is necessary, in which case they will be played on the following morning. Fine weather, however. is predicted for to- morrow and Wednesday with a continu- ation of the present cool conditions.

 The emselvcs.

Waterbury Aug. For the first time since January Il the trolley strikers
 have failed to receive strike benefit, the usual weekly payment not having
 been made yesterday.
 1t is reported that President Mahon, |of the National Amalganated Associa- tion of Street Railway Employees, is coming here in a few days to look into conditions ar regards the strike.

{ hended Now.
 Kansas City, Aug. 3.-Kansas streams raised by cloud bursts at two points and steady doWnpours in other parts of the state during the past forty-eight hours, are tonight practically at a standstill and no further serious rise is expected. The biggest of these streams, the Kaw river, is rising slowly at Kan sas City, and for a short distance west of here, but at no place along it's length # is the water near the danger line. At Kansas City, the KaW river is up two feet, but it must go several feet beyond this to do any material damage and as no further rains are predicted a. gradual fall is expected. There was some un- easiness at Argentine and Armourdale, the suburbs. of Kansas City, which suf- fered so severely during the great flood, but it was unWarranted.
 The only damage likely at Kansas City is from drfetwood to some of the temporary bridges erected here. The Icurrent is swift and men were out all day steering the drift clear of these structures

Atlantic Highlands, N. J., Aug. S. With all the luck against her Shamrock III to-day again proved herself a splendid racer in light winds by beating
 her pacemaker. Shamrock I, g minutes
 and 5T seconds, in thirty mile wind ward and IeeWard race off Sandy Hook.
 That the challenger is wonderful boat for windward work in light winds all
 her admirers known, but to-day she loutdid herself. Beating out the mark she gained a big
 lead only to lose portion of it by a
 slant of wind which temporarily enabled
 the old boat to out point her.
 Though Shamrock hand the better of a freshening breeze in the run to the finish line, the challenger more than trebled the distance of her lead over
 Shamrock I, but the yachts were sailing
 so much faster at the finish than at the turn that the challenger's gain in time was much less than in distance. The course was fifteen miles south, a beat to windward and run back. The wind was not better than five knots when the boats crossed the line in this order:
 Shamrock III-11:12:II . Shamrock I --1l:12:37.
 The boats got away on different tacks,
 Shamrock I heading off shore while the challenger started toward the Jersey
 coast. The new boat came about after Few minutes and followed the other seaward to windward and astern of 1 her. After a half hour of that both
 tackled for long leg along the Jersey coast From a position on the old
 boats lee bow, the cup hunter, by out pointing the other worked up to Wind- ward until an hour after the start she Twas nearly mile ahead though not to WindWard. The new boat seemed to be eight minutes ahead. They passed
 within three miles of Long Branch and Elberon in that order. Off West End Shamrock III made a short tack off shore and then fetched to point off Ocean Grove. Shamrock l carrying a more favorable slant, and thereby gain- ing materially, was not forced to take until off Ocean Grove and then both boats headed for the mark with the challenger leading. Shamrock I, from a windward position fetched tn eturn but Captain Wringe had to make two short
 tacks.
 Both boats broke out spinnakers and
 balloon jibs topsaiIs for the run back to
 the finish line. All the way home the challenger ran like a witch in freshen- ling breeze. Rarely before had she given such splendid exhibition of superiori-
 ty in running before the wind. sham
