Harry Payne Wh!tney's two -year-oid
AIaek colt, Tryster, son Of Peter Pan,
von the feature race of the day, the
800 Juvenile, q dash OF five furlongs
ovsr the straight course. Needless to
..v. the victory was popular one, as
rrvster was the odds-on favorite. But
Zion dor. a rank outsider, won the
.s.ondary feature, the Toboggan Handi-
al, with $500 added This was a dash
a, shree-quarters of a mile, again over
the straight.
The result may not have been quite
"a cheering as Tryster's victory, as
.bout nine out of every ten people
sssmed to have thought best of P. \.
Clark's Dunboyne, which finished next
n last. But no one with red blood in
b;s veins had much of kick coming,

inc was the finish. Lion dor, Motor
Coz and Naturalist, in the order named,
we're only inches apart at the end. One
blanket would have covered all three.
Field Stands Thrown Open
Belment Park is the most modious
,,cing establishment in the East. And
vet it was taxed practically to its ut
most capacity. For the first time in
many wears it was necessary to throw
open the rickety, old. unused field
stands. A big crowd went into the in
H.H. There was nothing remotely re-
ssmbing a seat to be had in the grand
stand or in the clubhouse.
Even while the trials of speed were
being contested, when the aisles, stair
WAYS and fences were crowded to every
available inch the strawhatted mass of
humanity on both lawns was dense as
sysr. and even then the beautiful pad
dock park was crowded. Thousands had
to get their racing second hand; there
was such O press on the lawns and
stand tina. thousands each time re-
NAMED in the big, unused betting ring
under the stand
Il was not only record crowd, from
the standpoint of numbers, but also
from a standpoint of class as we'll.
The racing associations just now are
more particular than for twenty years
in the matter of clubhouse patronage. It
was very select crowd that was seen
liz the clubhouse yesterday. Society
not only of this city, but of Philadel-
phia, Baltimore, Boston and Washing
ton predominated.
It was just such & crowd as one looks
tor only at the Futurity or the running
Of the Hopeful, Saratoga's outstanding
feature. The color of the clubhouse
lawn passes description. In the mo-
ments following an exciting finish, as
the fashionable and elite gave vent to
their enthusiasm. one was reminded of
an eddying sea of rainbows.
Two-year-old racing so far in the
cort hoe -, E.
rivalry among the Whitneys. Mrs
Stable and she has had all the worst of
the racing luck SO far. At the Saratoga
sales last summer Mrs Whitney pur-
chased Touch Me Not for $4,000. He is
chestnut colt out of Celt and Dainty
Dame, and if he ever gets any sense at
all he IS likely to have something to
say about this seasons two-year-old
championship. Many of the smartest
horsemen who have watched him de-
clare Touch Me Not is just about the
speedlest young colt that has come to
1ae races in many a year.
