Special Dispatch to The Star.

SARATOGA, N. Y, August Pa great
crowd saw Go-Between. carrying the color
of E. r. Thomas. win the 81, 500 Saratoga
cup today, one mile and three quarters.
He was strong favorite at to over
G. ]. Longs Sir Huon, 10 to 3, and Fred
Burlew's Samson, played down to eight
Sir Huon was so sore before the race that
rumor was In circulation that he would
be scratched, but because of the stakes 10
was finally decided to take a chance with
him. Under the circumstances therefore
Sir Huon ran remarkable race making
Go-Between extend himself to win. Sam
son made the running for nearly a mile,
after which he stopped and Sir Huon went
TO the front with so much power that he
came into the homestretch with a fairly
GOOD margin. Then Shaw cut Go-Between
loose, but Sir Huon was going along with
so much speed and strength that Shaw,
clearly worried, went to the whip, at which
Go-Between responded with an extra show
OF stamina, and succeeded in overhauling
Sir Huon at the last sixteenth pole. After
that Go-Between was driven to the wire a
winner by length and a half in 9:05 20.
Sir Huon had two lengths over Samson.
The running of the United States Hotel
stakes provided a delightful sensation for
the RalneyS of Cleveland, who saw their
$4o00O De Mund win his first race since
last Spring. De Mund was a lukewarm
favorite at IL to O. the smart fellows not
caring particularly for him. But he car
ried big stable commission, while the rest
or the educated coin went on Oscar Levi
sohn's Yankee Gun
No sooner was the start effected than
Radtke took De Mund to the front at a
clinking gait. At the half-mile pole tho
high-priced colt had a lead of five lengths
and was running easily. Radtke saw that
he had the others at his mercy, so he eased
De Mund up In the last quarter the Gold
finch colt coming to the judges an easy
winner by three parts of length in LA
Arctic Ran Well.

race and finished second. The third horse

The Beveryck steeplechase was duel be-
tween c. Pliers Herculoid 3 to favorite,
and T. Hitchcock, jr.'s, Pantom, to 8, the

money. Pantom led for mile, where Fin
negan took Herculoid to the front and
drove him home in triumph, three parts Of
a length in front of Pantom, with GatebelI
twenty lengths away. The time was sd.
The western crowd cleaned up a large
sum on Parney Schreiber's Nealon, who
won the first race at six furlongs, well
played at fives and skies. Jack Dolan,
7-to-5 favorte, with Martin up, could not
raise a gallop and was head from the
money.
