Special Dispatch to The Call

SARATOGA. n. Y, Aug. 6.-ln the
presence OF the largest crowd ever seen
at the Saratoga race course the far-
famed colors OF James r. Keene,
equally as we'll known in Europe as IN
America, were borne to the front to-day
in the two most valuable prizes Of the
meeting by Delhi winning the Great Re
public stakes, first money for which
was $4,000. and Sysonby winning the
Saratoga Special, valued at $4,000.
The two stakes therefore yielded Mr..
Keene $56, 900. which, added to his pre-
vfous winnings this season makes the
Keene stable much the heaviest winner
OF the year, a total of about $135,O0O
standing TO his credit. 1t was not the
frst $50. 900 stake won in his career by
Nr. Keene, as his horse Disguise II
won a race Of that value in England
several years ago Mr.. Keene was
freely congratulated by scores Of gen.
tlemen in the clubhouse and paddock.
There is no doubt but that the success
OF his horse has greatly cheered the
veteran financier, who has been an al
most daily attendant at the races since
the beginning Of the season.
Delhi had little difficulty in winning
his race. He jumped out in front at the
start and cut out a hot pace the full
first time Waterboy was in second
place. but he began TO fall back soon
after and was never a factor. Mercury
was a good second most Of the way.
The Picket finished strongly in third
position, a length behind Mercury,
which finished second by a length The
Duryea entry. Aceful and Mercury,
coupled in the betting. was first choice.
Sysonby was so well thought Of that
the price against him remained 1 to 20
