Special Dispatch to The Call.

SARATOGA, Aug. 1.-THE event of
the racing to-day was the excellent
performance of John Sanford's Caugh-
nawaga in the mile handicap. The horse
carried 126 pounds. In front all the
way, he disposed of Grey Friar, his
nearest attendant, in easy style, run
ming the mile in 1888 4-5. The track
was not considered fast.
The horse went on for an additional
five furlongs, running the mile and a
quarter in 2:05 ga, one mile and three
furlongs in 2:19 3-5, one mile and half
in 2:34 3-5 and one mile and five fur
longs in 2:51. He broke the track rec
ord at one mile and three furlongs in
this workout. Continuing on at slow
canter, the great son of Clifford and La
Tosca was given an ovation all along
the field stand front. The applause
grew stronger as he pulled up at the
judges stand.
Every move of Caughnawaga was
closely watched by Gates, Drake, Wish
ard and others. Gates turned to Drake
and said, II suppose you are aware
that you have seen to-day the winner
of the Saratoga cup"
Caughnawaga is engaged in that race,
to be run on Saturday, in which he will
carry 127 pounds. He may meet Ort
Wells 113 pounds, The Picket 126, Afri-
cander 126, Beldame 10S, Major Dain-
gerield 126, Claude 126 and others.
