a SARATOGA RACES, Three Splendid Races Yesterday—Fanny Ladlow, Vauxhall and Corsi- can the Winners. SarnaToea, Acgust 7, 1869, ‘The patrons of the turf were again bicssed with @ pe day and a good track to-day, while the pro- gramme of the sport was the finest that has been @ifered during the meeting thus far, Three races were run and the fields in all were large. The races run were:—First, a setling race, in which there were ne starters, the dash being a mile and 4 quarter, with the usual allowances for valve of the horses. The second race was a three mile dash, and for this there were sevon starters, while the third race was mile aad three-quarters, with five entries, The Betting on all the races was immense, Fanny Lud- dow being the favorite in the first, Vauxball in the second race and Heimboldqin tie third, The first race was a brilliant affair, the nine horses engaged doing their best from the start to the finish and running very close together the whole distance. They all carricd light weights, Fanay Ludiow having 1bg, up; R. B. Connolly, 102 lbs.; Bonuie Braea, 00 ; Viley, 96 lbs.; Bayswater, 103 1 jubal, 96 Ibs. ; Lizzie Rogers, 90 1bs.; Urbana, 99 Ibs., and Scotia, 6lbs. Fanny Ludlow, the winner, was sold imme- Gtately after thé race for $2,000, The second raco, however, was regarded as the great event of the day, as two of the fastest horses 3 the country were supposed to be engaged in it— Pompey Payne and Vauxhall—and the betting on the resuit, horse against horse, was heavy. When the entries were first announced neither of these horses had ever run three miles before, but both had been ‘winners at two miles, and it was supposed that both gould goa much longer journey, It wag well Kknowo that Pompey Payne bad ron 6 mile in 1:44 in pubhio im. the South, and there were ramors shat in # trial at Prospect Park he had rua a mile with ahoea o1 1p 1:43, He also beat Vespucius a two mule dash with the greatcat east at that place, and be was looked upon by bis backers a@ invincible at ay distance, Vauxhall's recent performances have afi been gota, with ‘the Scaptich af the thos ae Bayonet, where he was not allowed to run to win; but he sbowed enough speed uear the conclusion of that race to induce all who wit- messea it to back him unreservedly, Just before the start Vauxhall was the favorite against the fleld, ich comprised Pompey Payne, Abdel Kader, The Banshee, Flora Mclvor, M. H. Sanford and Nellie McDonald, Vauxhall won the ruce very easily, while tho renowned Pompey Payne did the most miserably mean attempt at running that we ever eaw by a horse of such bigh renown, He quit like a dunghill fowl before he ran two miles, and after that grew ‘Worse and worse to the end, His owner ind trainer Must have been most egregiously decetved in the oapabilitics of their horse or they heartlessly 1m- posed on their friends by provending they n4d “ first ‘Clase race horse and led many to back the brute to wy amounts, Abilel Kader, ‘ihe Bansvee and . Fiora Molvor ail beat him handily, and there is uo doubt that had the race been at beats Vauxhall ae have distanced him. rails satan race was a very spirite Ir between Oorsican, Helmbold, Metairie and Pieasureville, and closed the day to the satisfaction of the gay and Sashionable throng that graced the grand stand. ‘rhe following ure details of the race in the order they came off: » THE FIRST RACE. ‘This was a selling race ior @ purse of $500, one mile and @ quarter, horses entered to be woid for $3,00), to carry their appropriate hm ob for $2,000 allowed seven pounds, for $1,600 twelve pounds, and for $1,000 fifteen pounds, There were nine starters, composed of F, Morris’ brown filly Fanny Ludlow, by imported Eclipse, dam Molly Jackson, four years old; John O'Donnell’s brown horse RK.

No Saturday of the season has the Park been so extensively visited as it was yesterday, By three o'clock the Mall was covered by a mixed and move ing mass of bumanity, displaying toilets, persons and dispositions tn ever-varying seene. The weather, whicn has been so delightful for the past few days, seemed to have culminated yesterday in one of the finest days that could have visited this sphere, even had it been brought about by a specia , order from the sons of men, or the daughters as’ well. The sun was radiant and iit up the laud- scape, the green meadows, and the peacefal hills, superbly, making the Mall look as @ carpet of velvet, green figured into fantastic shapes by the tall elms with [thelr deep shadows, and the smooth dnved like lengthened ribbons of white silk winding around the sloping surface, even as wide belts about the walsta of nature's fair ones, The vista from an elée- vated position on the Terrace, looking down the Fifth avenue, disclosed a perfect sea of human’ heads, arrayed in bright colors, and eyes sparkiil at the fine scenes and good music. The band play such pieces as “Selections from Don pigs So inadrilie ‘Fiatte Bubache,” “Conscrips ro,’ “Overture to Oberon” and “Mazurka L'itrone delle,” ail well executed and received with great favor. The notable absence of beggars, itinerant pedlers and nuisances generally was very ¢om- waspfadle, and speaks well for the eminent and use! scryices that have distinguished Mr. Gréen’s far-famed administration of the most embatraasti of ublic truste, What a wonorovsly beautiful and diversified view can be obtained at any point, with a ciear, unbroken perspective?

TMVOR’S OFFICE. During the past week the business at the Marshal's Bureau has not been particulariy brisk.

THE ENVELOPE SWINDLERS by “smart young men from the country.’ Among the old haunts of the soapy-headed scoundrels who practice this method of swindling the escablishments at 233 Broadway, 179 Broadway, a couple en Park row and three or four in Chatham street and West sircet bave hitherto done the largest amount of business, to all apjparances, ure ing the past week a new icper spot has been discovered at 211 Greenwich street, The es tablishment 18 not new, by any means; but the thieves who manipulate the place do it so cleverly and get hold of such customers that hitherto they have escaped detection. Being im the im-+ Mediate neighbornood of Washington Market, there 1g generally game enough around for the scamps to get hold of, and they do it most successfully. \From the complaints before the Marshal durmg the week it appears that J. W. Pattoa, of Ellsworth, Me., had been swindiea out of $100; Wiliam Eyre, of 73 Hammond street, of fifty dollars; L. Connor, of Middletown, N. J., of seventy-five dollars, and James W, Smith, of Monroe, Orange county, N, Y., out of | §100,’ The last geoleman bad “been in town just about half an hour, and the poor fellow what drawed the watch, you Know, was sure he could git the same ticket agin,” and so J. W. Smith kindly loaned him $100 and he lost it, This fair sample of a week's work at 211 Greenwich street, and an estimate has been made to show that complaints are made by uot more than one-third or one-fourth of the victims. August F. Long, of Lauderdale, Miss., lost $51 at No. 438 Broadway; Wells Thompson, of Madison, Wis., lost $27 at No. 97 Chatham street; John Darker, of Morristown, N. J., lost $40 at No. 98 Chatham street; Michael Kelily, of Lowell, Masa, lost $27 at No. 124 West stroet;- and Edward Jounson, gf Burlington county, N.
