OMAR KHAYYAM Wins
SARATOGA FEATURE
Jimmy Butwell Pilots Mount to Vic.
tory from Classy Field.

Saratoga Springs, N. Y. Aug. L-All
records were smashed at the Spa today
In the matter Of attendance. Never in
the history of racing in the past years
has such a large crowd assembled at
this popular course.
Public choices did not meet with
much success. as the majority Of them
were defeated.
The feature Of the afternoons sport,
the fourth race, the Kenner Handicap,
at mile and three-sixteenths, at
tracted but four horses. But the class
of horses that contested this race were
Of the best in training. Omar Khay-
yam. shouldering LII pounds. with
Jimmy Butwell In the pigskin, was an
easy winner, defeating War Star by
good margin for the second money.
while Midway was third. Ticket I'm
ished out OF the money. The latter
race was a keen disappointment, as he
was looked upon as having a royal
chance to win this number. There can
be no doubt that Omar Khayyam ia
about the best distance horse in train
ing. He has done everything that has
been asked of him, and II will take a
good horse to defeat him.
Papp came right back again today
in the third race. when he defeated a
cracker-Jack field in the United States
Hotel Stakes, an affair for 2-year-olds
at six furlongs. Papp was admirably
ridden by the apprentice Allen and
managed to get home a length in front
of Drastic. while Nut Cracker. q
5o-to-1 shot, was third. War Machine
was heavily supported. but finished
out Of the money.
Paul Connolly, at Is TO 1, grabbed
the closing race from Golden Glow and
George Washington. The public re.
ceived a severe drubbing today. a,
outsiders accounted for nearly every
event. The summary:
