| showed the way to Trudery by head
Orioe was doing its best, while 1t was
plain Prudery was not fully extended
Swinging round the turn Ambrose took
the Whitney tilly in hand and rated
her back off the pace Oriole was
thereby enabled to open gap of a
! length or more.
Ambrose swung in behind the pace
maker to save as much ground as pos
sble, swinging to the outside of the
front runner as the pair Strengthened
in the stretch. Here for the first time
Ambrose gave Prudery her head The
FLY responded like true thorough
bred and charged up to the pacemaker
with resolution.
At the eighth pole Prudery finally
got up to Oriole. 1t took only few
strides fo, the tilly to convince the colt
he was in water over his head. Through
the last sixteenth Ambrose had a snug
hold of Prudery, which, had occasion
demanded, could undoubtedly have i'm
proved her time second or so.
Dimmesdale was a good colt to-day,
and with better racing luck might have
fought out the issue with Prudery at
the end This colt, which was ten
lengths behind the others at the far
turn, made up lot of ground in a gal
liant rush through the stretch.
Mrs. C. X. Moore's Marion Hollins
stole a long lead in the fifth race, at a
mile, and lasted long enough to beat
out Belgian Queen. which came with a
rush at the end. Flzey was third.
The greatest crowd that ever at
tended the races at Saratoga turned
out to-day to see Man o. War in action
and the star two year-o Odds that met in
the $4,000 Grand Union Hotel Stakes.
1t was estimated that 10000 we're al
ready jammed within the Enclosure
when the bugle called out the field for
the opening race, and patrons were
still coming by hundreds.
Thousands Attend Meet
Without the grounds it seemed al
most as if there were as many as with
in. THOUSANDS autoed up from New
spaces for miles around the course
were taxed to capacity. Within the
clubhouse there was a riot Of bright
colors, for the elite was out in force.
The Greentree Stables Lads Love
won the opening race, at six furlongs,
from field of fourteen. Gus Scheer
cut out the early running and led we'll
into the stretch. frankie Keogh, who
rated Lads Love off the early pace,
then came away through the last fur
long and won handly Dark Hill
ton. Stepson, the favorite, had little
or no chance after the start, which was
somewhat struggling. This colt was
pinched back and bumped badly on the
turn and knocked completely out of it,
Shoot On also met with a lot of in
reference and, forced to run around
the others at the home turn, came with
great rush at the end. This is one
worth remembering. The Oral layers
got another fine break in the Bever-
wyck steeplechase handicap at about
two, which was won by Mrs. w. NJ.
JeTord's Barklie, the second choice.
Stucco was second and the heavily
played odds~on favorte, Doublet, third.
This proved very exciting steeple-
chase. For the first turn of the field
Stucco and Minata raced head to head,
with Barklie and Doublet rated off the
pace. The two leaders took so much
out of each other in their private duel
they had little left when the pinch
came. On the second turn of the field,
at the far turn, Blake took command
with Barklc and was never thereafter
headed.
Each of the others challenged in
turn, but to no avail. Once, just be-
fore the fence at the far turn, the
favorite got up to the leaders and for
a moment the four were racing in
cavalry front. Doublet, however, which
had been rushed up quickly, seemed to
tire toward the end and tailed off
badly, though he was running strongly
again at the finish.
The Florisant Stables Wanatah won
the closing dash at five furlongs, rae
ing Mantilla into submission in three
furlongs. Mantilla tired badly in the
last furlong and lost the place to Dora.
