lightweight STAKE
TO BUTTER SCOTCH /
Captures Feature Race at Saratog,
From Classy Field on a
Heavy Track.

Saratoga Springs, y. Y. Aug. 16.-
The lightweight Handicap for thre.
year-olds and upwards. an affair a
six furlongs was the feature OF tn,
card today. This number was an
nexed by Butter Scotch II, who de
feated Tea Caddy by a length. Will,
in turn Hussy was just up in timi
to get the short end of the purse.
The track was heavy from the rain
in the past few days, and slow tim,
was made in every number. Osca
Lewisohn's imported Benevolent, ran
a disappointing race in this. the fea,
ture number. 1t was nigh impossfbb
last season TO beat this horse. Hi
performance today was far below hh
best form. 1t is probable that hi
long rest has put him OF edge, ant
this race should 90 him good.
Warsaw accounted for the fftt
number when he was an easy winner
over Right and Precise. The winner
was much the best and was goinI
away at the end.
The talent got a severe Jolt 81
/ the third race when Kiidee. with
| little Troise in the saddle. just go
up in time to defeat J. J. Lillis. whil6
Harry Shaw was third. J. J. Lille
was played all over the country fuf
/ a good thing but he could no
| give the winner Is pounds and beat
/ him. The track was made to order
| for Lillis. but he hung right at the
end.
Msnnchen repeated her good race Of
! Saturday last. when she easily an.
nexed the second race from Polly
/ Anna and Meditation. However, n
must be said, she had nothing &c
beat in the field she defeated TO-DAY
Plum accounted for the opening num-
