SARATOGA, n. Y, Aug. 2.-James r
Keene's Affliction, played from 10 to / to
s TO /. won the Saratoga handicap, one
mile and a quarter, the opening OF the
Saratoga meeting today. The victory was
anticipated by the betting on the Keene
ftlly and under a hustiing ride of f. Mar
tin she managed TO stagger home a winner.
The meeting opened under favorable CON
ditions. The crowd numbered 5000 per-
sons, much above expectations for a Mon
day.
The Saratoga handicap, the feature, drew
out a poor lot of horses. There we're two
Withdrawals and Kings Daughter was
added. She opened at 3 to 1, but was
quickly played down to Is to 6, while the
insiders from the Keene stable managed
to get big odds against Affliction. Ala
bama went back to 4 to l. The start was
good, with Maltbie the first TO show. Go
Ing around the first turn Atflictlon raced
into the lead, followed by Kings Daugh-
ter. The latter dashed in the lead in the
run down the back stretch. She set a fast
pace and took a two lengths lead. At the
far turn she still led by two lengths but
Martin pulled her over to the rail and, saw
ing many lengths, managed to get an even
turn with the leaders In the stretch.
Kings Daughter began to tire and Afflic-
ton, running strong, outgsmed her and
won by three-quarters Of a length, Kings
Daughter second and Olambala third.
Waldo. the favorite, won the 1900 Flash
stakes.
