Special Despatch TO THE New yoax HERALD.
SARATOGA SPRINGS, n. Y. Aug. ga
sensational, rough and tumble finish
marked the Amsterdam Stakes, the fea-
ture Of the off day programme at the
track here this afternoon. Walter j.
salnon's Hobey Baker won the event
on the post by head. with Lawrence
Waterbury's Servitor second, neck In
front of John Shaugiinessy's War Note,
third.
of daredevil ride by Coltiletti. This
little Jockey is usually timid in the
saddle and avoids all tight places. TO-
day he shot Hobey Baker through an
opening which seemed only large enough
for a good sized Newfoundland dog TO
squeeze through. But he went through
without committing any foul either.
War Note took the lead soon after the
start and sped along at a terrific pace
three lengths in front of Hobey Baker
until the final eighth pole was reached
There he began to tire and Hobey Baker
began to gain ground on him. AS EIobey
Baker reached his heels Servitor with
Penman in the saddle was at his side
and 1t seemed as If ne would be caught
in a pocket and compelled to pull UP.
But Coltilleti gave Hobey Baker. which
Is as courageous as he is fast. a hustling
ride and squeezed through and won the
purse in the last jump. War Note on
the rail suffered somewhat when Servi-
tor forced Hobey Baker over on him.
But the foul was not sufficient to war
ran. any action by the stewards. Servt-
tor probably was best in the race. He
was cut off sharply soon after the start
and compelled to race around his horses
all the way.
Fator Helps Reprisal.
Walter NJ. Jeffords took Eddie Ann
brose out Of Reprisars saddle In the
third race and substituted Fator The
change made tremendous difference.
Fator got him away well and after
taking the lead in the first quarter
guided him close to the rail all the way
and got him home a length and half in
front OF Serapis. which beat Knot by
neck for the second end Of the purse.
The race showed that Reprisal Is one
OF the best sprinters in training. He
carried 120 pounds and although not
ridden out, covered the six furlons
course in the fast time Of IL 1-5.
The chase was between the cheapest
kind OF jumpers, but It furnished fairly
good contest. Le Marsouin won, New
Haven was second and Ben Hampscn
was third Old New Haven, with w.
Rosen. his owner-trainer- Jockey. In the
saddle, surprised every one present by
going to the front and leading for O.
mile and a half. Then LIE Marsouin sped
past him. but Old New Haven struggled
on and at the end was only length
behind. Even though he was beaten.
New Haven received more applause than
the victor. lie Is patched up old
cripple which has been given away SOW
eral times. Rosen received him as a
Christmas gift as a Joke. But the
young horseman did not think II was
any joke. He loved the old fellow and
began patching him up. He mended his
tendons and knees and has made him
we'll enough to cover any distance at n
mediocre speed. Rosen schools him IN
the morning, feeds him. cleans him and
rides him, and he thinks as much OF him
as Louis Feustel ever thought OF Man o.
War. Three times he has finished third
with him. and to-day no moved up a
peg into second place and came mighty
close to winning q purse.
Recount's Big Improvement.
Charles A. Stonehams Recount showed
big Improvement in the fifth race and
beat Elected and Quecreek on a dry
truck in fast time after showing excep-
tional speed throughout the mile. Elect
ed set the pace. and a fast one, but Re
count was never far off II, and at the
final eighth pole he went to the front
and in driving finish won by half a
length. Elected was second. three
lengths ahead of Quecreek.
John 70. Madden's Tulwar beat homo
a big field Of cheap Juveniles In the
opening event. She broke well for
Scobie and raced wide through the back
stretch. but when Strengthened out for
home went to the front and at the end
was length and a half in front before
Avispa, which beat Evil by n neck.
