SARATOGA, N. Y. Aug S.-Despite
tie fact that Something's almost
wrecked the card here this Afternoon
the sport furnished the patrons of the
Saratoga Racing Association was OF
unusually high class order. Finishes in
three Of the races were close and the
public came out on top in the specu-
lation, which sent the big Monday
crowd home in high glee.
The North Greek Handicap, one
mile dash for three~year-olds the
feature of the programme, was won
by S. a. Clopton's gelding Perader
the outsider Of the four which
struggled for the purse.
Ten were named TO carry silks in
this event, among them being Inchcape
the colt which Harry Sinclair paid a
fortune for, but which unfortunately
went wrong. The condition of the
track, which was deep in mud from
the heavy rain of the night before,
draw him. Edgar Allan Poe, Light
Rose. Devastation, Chateau Thierry
and Love Tap also declined the issue
Ten Lee Sets Pace
This left Parader, Ten Lee, Dart
moor and Dry Moon TO fight it out
When Starter Cassidy gave them the
word, Ten Lee shot to the front and
started to make q runaway race Of it,
She opened up a gap of three lengths
In the run down the baclzstretch witt
Parader back Of her and Dartmoor in
third place. Dry Moon did not seem
to take kindly to the going and trailed
the bunch
There was no change in the running
order until the field made the turn for
home. Coming down the ST.. 4oh. little
Eddie Runner, who was on Ten Lee,
could not control his mount and the
FLY swerved into the deep going next
to the rail This let Parader, who
was on the outside, creep up and he
went on and won in q drive by q short
length. Ten Lee lasted long enough
to hold the place, beating Dartmoor
half length. Dry Moon was a close
fourth. q like distance behind Dart
moor.
The first half of the running of the
Consolation Stakes. a selling affair,
over the five and d half furlong route,
resulted in a gallop for the Rancocas
Stables filly Restraint. The track was
practically made to order for her and
her ability to run IN the SOFT gong
made her a to favorite.
Swift Grass Falters
Tho Short Grass Stables Swift
Grass made the early running, with
Restraint always within striking dis
lance. AS soon as they were straight
ened out for the run home Fator
sent Restraint to the front and she
won, hard held, by four lengths. Cape
Pillar caught Swift Grass firing in the
last sixteenth and beat her for the
place by full length.
OF the eleven carded IN the second
race only three faced the starter The
Triple Springs Farms Penrose was
made the choice, but John Sanford S
Chateau Thierry also had quite a fol-
lowing When it came to racing it was
Penrose all the way. The speedy mare
raced Cimarron into the ground and
then drew away to win as she pleased
by two lengths. Chateau Thierry had
all she could do to beat Cimarron a
length for the place.
The closing race furnished another
thrilling finish. Medina, outrun to the
last furlong came on with a great
burst Of speed and got up in time to
win by q short length from the we'll

third, the same distance behind Rou-
Lotto
