Saratoga. n. Y. Aug. 7.-Augcst
Belmont won a race the stewards Did
not feel constrained 70 take from him
here this afternoon, when his good
geldino Stromboli. half-brother 20 that
better horse Priscillian, defeated
Yankee Notions. Sir John Johnson,
Spring Board, Adams Express and two
or three others in the siX-furlong dash
which began the days sport Aad
Stromboli. running TO his best form,
stepped the three-quarters IN l:ll %,
which was Just one-ffth Of seeo ID
slower than the record for the sara
tooa track established the other day
by Punch Bowl.
II was creditable performance IN
every way. Stromboli, which Is Lightly
made and not especially good looku 2,
shouldered ll6 pounds and gave Yankee
Notions twenty pounds BY the sea 9,
Sir John Johnson nineteen, Adams III
press eighteen and Spring Board Sy-
enteen. Turner had the leg up on
Stromboli.
Yankee Notions was first away fn "a
the barrier, and he made pace "
the backstretch and around the upi ~
turn. with Sir John Johnson right a.
his heels. Turner waited with Stro .
bolt TO the middle Of the turn ana N
moved to the outside.
Stromboli quickly rounded up fans
Notions and Sir John Johnson and g.
loped home with a bit in hand. HIS
race was the best Of the day from a
time standpoint, and he was cheered
when he returned 10 the scales BY
crowd Of 4. 1000 persons.
No stake was down for decision,
The features Of the card were han
can at one mile and a selling race
one mile and three-sixteenths, both n
three-year-olds and over. The 2 81
was won by c. K. G. Billings's last
little galloway Reybourn and the other
by Mrs. Payne Whitney's Virile, MS
owner looking on from her private box.
Reybourn's opponents were MontreSOf,
Star Gaze, Pandean, Holiday and Aiiey,
and Nontresor was the popular cho ee-
Reybourn. which had nine pounds On,
was not without friends, however, nnd
there was support for Holiday.
Nontresor, under Buttons ener-
getic handling, took the track when the
barrier assembled and made pace TO the
turn out of the backstretch, with hoii-
day at his TANKS and Reybourn a
couple of lengths of the pace. Holt
day rounded up Montresor entering
| the upper turn and raced into the
homestretch with Reybourn's head bob
bling at his hanks. Reybourn ran sud-
/ denly to the outside, but McTaggart
made no effort TO pull him in, and he
/ had speed enough to beat Holiday four
or five lengths.
Montresor stopped to nothing under
I the pace Holiday forced him to main.
! tain, and Airey, an outsider, galloped
/ up in the last furlong and took show
money. Reybourn's time, 1888 fiat, vas
one and four-ffths seconds better than
/ the time Montresor hung out the
other day, when he beat the Billing:
| gelding, but there was thirteen pounds
| difference in weight to-day, and It was
/ in Reybourn's favor.
The mile and three-siXteenths at.
/ tracted Guy Fisher, Strong, Patton and
/ ANY Port. as we'll as Virile. Virile
won because Joe Notter outgeneralled
Butwell. the rider of Guy Fisher
| Strong cut out the running TO the turn
| into the homestretch, with Guy Fisher
close up and Virile trailing the old
Sain gelding.
DQlNtll lDcl DCNddoC ht AhoNN 49,
run on the outside just as Strong was
rounding the last corner and was car
ried out by the firing favorite. Not.
ter, who bode his time, as Butwell
might have, shot Virile up on the rail
saving much ground, and then whipped
the Stalwart gslding home about hall
a length in front of Guy Fisher
Razzano surprised the talent when
he defeated Runes and Liberator in
handicap at three-quarters OF a mile
for two-year-olds. Liberator, which
belongs to the stable of Major Thomas
c. Mcdowell, was rather hot fayof'
tie, and Runes was second choice. Few
gaze Razzano serious consideration.
He won because McCahey saved ground
at the turn into the homestretch.
The other two-year-old race, a sprint
of five furlongs and half for platsrs
was taken by II. X. Knapps Distant
Shore. Marco, riding in place Of the
suspended Sumter, sent the Yankee
Lady Schorr colt along directly the
barrier assembled, and after standing
off Hike and Mallard, Distant Shors
withstood the belated rush of the slug
gish Mabel Montgomery.
