CAUGHNAWAGA EASILY
CAPTURES THE SARATOGA
Races Are Run Before Large Crowd
In Drlzzling Rain and on
Slow Track
By Associated Press.

| By Associated Press
SARATOGA, July 31.-Dull gray skies
and drizzling rain, slow track and the
usual large crowd marked the open
ing of the Saratoga race meeting today.
Staunch old Caughnawaga captured the
feature event, the Saratoga, in easy
style, outfooting such cracks as Ort
Wells, Beldame and Tanya. There was
gap of nearly a length between
Caughnawaga and Brady's Waterlight
as they passed the judges stand.
Waterlight beat Beldame by half a
length, and these three finished in
division by themselves. After the
breakaway Tanya took the lead and
held it to the second turn, where Wild
mint picked it up. Waterlight moved
up on the quarter, turning into second
position. AS they turned into the home
stretch Caughnawaga came through the
bunch, and thereafter was not headed.

scored 244 runs, and were all out in
their second innings for 151 runs, thus
giving the match to the Americans by
81 runs.
The small score made by the visitors
in their second inning was principally
due to the deadly bowling of j. A.
Lester, who took seven of the ten
wickets.
This is the first match the English
cricketers have lost in this city, they
having won the first match from the
Gentlemen of Philadelphia, and drawn
with the team of eighteen Colts"
