Special Dispatch to The Call.

SARATOGA, N. Y, Aug. 10--Over a
dead, damp track, made so by rain
which fell for several hours this morn
ing. the Grand Union Hotel stakes, the
chief feature of this afternoons sport,
was decided. 1t is a guaranteed event,
with $500 to the first horse. There
were seven starters, with the Paget
stables a strong favorite at II to 10. The
race was a surprise, as it was won by
j. E. Maddens Siglight, which was
called a cheap selling platter by his
owner recently. The finish was close,
many to the left of the judges stand
thinking John w. Schorr's Jack Lory
had won, but those in line with the
finishing point declared that Siglight
won by a neck.
He ran a remarkable race, as he was
forced back to next to the last place on
the far turn. The pace was set by Glen
Echo and Sparkling Star. In the last
furlong there was a general closing up
from the rear, and Siglight. Jack Lory
and Cairngorm became the three lead
ers. CairngOrm nearly fell at the last
furlong pole. The other two fought it
out and Siglight won by neck, with
Jack LOry a small margin in front of
Cairngorm. Summary.
