SARATOGA. Aug I2.-rt was intended that
this should be the gala day Of the meeting
here. and results were In every respect up
to expectations. Never before In the many
years that Saratoga has been on the map -
point for the meeting OF thoroughbred
has such crowd been gathered for dAy's
sport. This applies no. alone TO numbers.
which fer exceeded all records. but to the
class OF the crowd. 1t included many OF
course that rate - regular followers OF the
sport. but the majority were holiday seekers
with but vague idea Of the "details o. the
financial end OF the game. They were here
to see good races between horses that have
established regulations. and the applause
that greeted the vlctors came from winners
and losers alike. 1t was a tribute to tho
horse. and well may the management fesi
that 1t has scored success 40 great, a. oene-
hcal. as lasting and as substantial a. was
the hope of the late william G. whitney wheu
he came here and lifted the track out OF tho
rut that 1t had driftsd into.
II is Just year ago that James II. heene
refused an offer Of 900 for eysonby. who
at that time was a two-year-old. He SAID
then that he believed that he had the greatest
colt the world had ever seen. and to-niSht
he will repeat the classification and thousands
will agree with him. 1t was generally con-
coded that the colt would win the Great ne.
public Stakes: In fact. the betting showed
the feeling OF the crowd. but few were pre-
pared for tho brilliant showing that he made.
The time for the trip Of . mile and quarter,
2O7, does not mean a mark to 70 into rap
lures over, but things happened at various
stages Of tho race that one can well repeat
for a long time to come; The furiong on dv rounad.

The .oflcial count at the gate to-day shows
that the turnstiles recorded juet s, ,265 more
than the day last year. when the Great Re-
public and Saratoga Special were run. and
figures also show that there were more women
at the track here to-day than ever visited
a racetrack in the East. 1t was easy TO an,

1t was expected that the trains leaving to-

to say that next week will show even to-day's
record eclipsed.
