SARATOGA, N. Y, Aug. 14.-Rain and
. heavy track played havoc with the
programme at the track here this after
noon. In every race there were
scratches aplenty and only a few good
horses went to the post.
The feature was the Catskill at seven
furlongs. II went to Richard It. Will
sons Wyoming In the easiest kind of
canter. Aided by burst at the bar
rier, he spread eagled his field and was
never in danger of defeat. As he
passed the judges with Buddy Ensor
tsgging at the reins. Grundy. the second
horse. was only few jumps beyond the
sixteenth post In third place, four
lengths further back, was Woodtrap.
Only four horses went to the starter
for the Galway, a handicap for mares
and fllies at one mile. Among them
were w. r. Goes speedy imported gray
filly Herodias and his imported Teren-
Tia, which was one of the best of her sex
. last year. Neither of them showed to
their best in the heavy going and were
beaten on Edward f. Whitney's Rose
dor, carrying only 100 pounds and in
receipt of big pull in the weights, took
the major portion of the purse, with
w. A. Shea's Ormonda, second.
Herodias showed the way for half
mile and quit AS she faltered Or
monda went to the front and was the
FIRST to reach the homestretch. When
Strengthened out for home Rose dor
challenged and at the final furlong pole
was at Ormonda's saddle girth.
During the next sixteenth OF mile
the pair raced head and head. Rose
dor proved the gamest, and in whip
ping finish managed to win by half a
length. Terentia displayed a burst of
speed while rounding the turn. but 1t
was a short squirt and che stopped al
most to a walksin the final run.
The Sycamore. a selling handicap at
one mile and quarter. furnished the
best finish OF the day. ]. =. Sweeney
Hauberk and Andrew Miller's Recount
finished so closely together that a ma
jority of the racegoers called it dead
heat. but the judges awarded the purse
to Hauberk by a nose.
That Hauberk won was due to the
start. He went under the webbing rum
ming and quickly opened up a gap of
three lengths on his field. Once In front
he stepped along at a steady. even pace.
followed by Recount. When Recount
challenged in the homestretch Hauberk
had enough speed in reserve to hang on
long enough to remain In front to the
end.
McGrann. little apprentice lad en-
ployed by Andrew Miller, had the mount
on Hauberk and he outgeneraied and
outrode Andy Schuttinger Mr.. Miller's
veteran Jockey. The colors of A H.
Diaz, the Cuban sportsman, flashed home
in front In the last race. They were
carried by his bay colt Blue wrack.
Hairy Payne Whitney's sammy. son
of Broomstick and Panasine. started in
this race and was made the favoTjte.
After delaying the start several minutes
he got away well and displayed a good
burst OF speed for a quarter of a mile,
Then he quit badly and finished far in
tho ruck.
After a dozen disappointments George
ID. Widener's imported gelding Pictor
graduated from the maiden class In the
second race. He followed Flrzey, the
pacemsker, to the stretch, where he went
20 the front and held on long enough to
win from Commander J. K. L. Ross
Welshman's Folly by neck.
Vulcanite. belonging to w. F. Poison,
finished third He was ridden 30 badly
by C. Howard that it Is likely the stew
ards will ask the jockey many questions
before they will allow him to take an
other mount. He got the colt away
badly, but Vulcanite was so full of run
ming that in the homestretch he was in
contending position. But Howard
would not give him his head Until the
race was as good as over. When finally
"let down Vulcanite ran over his horses
and would have won in a few more
Jumps.
The Desert. the little platter Sam Louis
claimed from p. A. Clark at Pimlico
won the first race from a big field.
