Saratoga Springs, n. T., Aug. %
Andrew Muller took down another STAKE
here this afternoon when his hlly, Lazy
Rotha, winner of the Travers, when
Trial by Jury was disqualified, nosed
out her field in the running OF the am
sterdam Selling Stakes, a mile anair
that brought out only four starters. ~
was the feature of rather an interest
ing card that was offered by the Sara
toga Association.
The finish occasioned no end of dis
cussion. for from the grand stand It
loked as though Yankee Notions, from
the Oneck Stable. had won by good
neck. But it was just another case
of the deceptive angle, for those in the
clubhouse were just as sure that no
mistake had been made in the placing
of the horses.
Yankee Notions made pace all the
way, and at the head of the stretch ne
was Joined by Pomette Bleu, which
came up on the outside. A furlong from
the finish Pomette Bleu had him head
ed. but he came again under the whip
and held the flly safe in the drive. 1t
was while this was going on that Lady
Rotha dashed up on the inner rail. she
did not appear to catch Yankee Mo-
tons, but he was bearing out slightly
in that final drive, and he was we'll
towards the outside of the track, while
she was tight on the inner rail. This
accentuated the angle, and made il i'm
possible to tell to a certainty which
was first, unless one was directly on
the line.
The steeplechase proved farce when
Tighe fell from Thomas Hitchcock's
Swish, the best jumper in the field. He
did not seem TO have excuse enough
for his tumble, but when he rolled from
the saddle il made Old Salt galloping
winner. Rock Fish was the only other
one that did not meet with mishap,
and he was second, while Caswine,
after unseating Turnburke at the ninth
fence, was remounted and finished the
course in time to take down third. Ind
ian Arrow, the only other started, bolt
ed going to the twelfth fence, and could
not be driven over the course by Bryant.
Coming Tower won his fourth race
at the meeting when he was winner OF
a six-furlong high weight handicap
from Grump and Leo Skolny. He was
helped some to his victory by the mis-
cradle riding of Lotus, on Leo Skolny.
Hidden Star won five and half fur
long dash for -year-olds, and the
other juvenile race, one under selling
conditions. went to August Belmonts
High Horse. Then, at the end OF the
programme, Jefferson Livingston's Kris
Kringle was an easy winner OF seven.

Before the races to-day Andrew
Miller's champion Roamer worked a
mile and half in preparation for the
Saratoga Cup, to be run on Saturday.
