ing back TO the time of the first Au-
gust Belmont, who won II in 1872 with
Woodbine, was renewed at the Saratoga
Associations track this afternoon. and
the winner turned up in Captain f. b.
Cassatt's homebred mare Flying Fairy.
With nothing of consequence to beat.
Flying Fairy took up burden of ll3
pounds and galloped easily in front all
the way. finishing the nine furlongs in
the comparatively slow time of b6 l-5.
If she had been pressed she would UNI
doubtedly have done better, for on sew
eral occasions at Belmont Park. in the
course of the meetings of the Westches-
ter Racing Association and the Metro
politan Jockey Club. she had shown that
she could establish a stH pace and
maintain il.

about one mile and then gave place to Ca

but failed 10 show sufficient speed to
make Flying Fairy extend herself.
Cabtain Cassatt watched Flying Fairy
from his box in the grandstand and re-
ceived many congratulatory calls from
friends. The victory of Flying Fairy. he
told these friends. was. especially pleas

Flying Fairy Is better over a distance

will give her a high place among the
Alabama winners among which were
Susquehanna, Thora Glidelia Miss Wood

Water. Maskette and Ocean Bound.
The crowd which witnessed the running
of the Alabama was not as great as that

it was of respectable strength, neverthe-
less. Four thousand men and women

Judging BY the result of two days rae
ing at Saratoga, the two-year-olds brought
here from the West are better than any
thing Eastern stables afford. On Satur-

afternoon Bringhurst. a gelding, by

a good thing, because at Belmont Park

as Stromboli. But the Western men were
confident that Bringhurst would take
Surprisings measure, and he did that
same, outfootng the son of Marta Santa
