Other Racing Results.

Saratoga, Y. z, August 12.-One Of the
greatest horse races of the year was
run here this afternoon when James r.
Keene's Sysonby fully justified his title
Of king Of the turf in winning the Great
Republic stake, wroth $4,000 to his own
er. Sysonby went to the post favorite at
odds of 9 to 20. He was never in better
condition. James b. Brady's Oiseau look
ed fully equal to the mile and quarter,
and the betters showed their confidence
in HIS speed by playing him for all he was
worth. Yet he was as good as 16 to )
when the bug1e sounded.
Starter Cassidy sprung the barrier to
a fair start, Oiseau and Sysonby being
the quicker to break. AS they raced past
the grandstand. the former had a bit
the best of it. Broomstick and Dandelon
were heads apart. At the quarter pole
the Brady colt was leading by a length
and Broomstick was three lengths back of
Sysonby. The Keene colt there began
to run, and In less than a quarter of Il
mile had passed Oseau and was lead
ing him by two lengths. Dandelion and
Broomstick were still heads apart, and
trailing. Sysonby maintained his lead
without apparent effort. The order was
unchanged when they entered the stretch,
but the Keene colt increased his lead
to nearly Ave lengths. He won with three
lengths between him and Oiseau, who
was length better than Broomstick.
The Hopeful, worth SIG. 400 to the win
ner, fell to Mohawk II, who ran very
game race and scored John sanfords
