McDaniel vs. Sanford—How To Be a Turfman. THREE SPIRITED CONTESTS. Madgo the Winner of the Mile Dash, 8pringbok of the Two Miles and a Furlong and Limestone of the Hurdle Handicap. SARATOGA, August 8, 1874, ~ Three races and a fair day, a heavy or tolerably heavy track, crisp alr, an exquisite mountain view and half the people walking to the track. It was affectation to ride, unless one happened to be old. Gamesters, ladies, children, dogs and babies walked. It is but half a mile to the course, and Saratoga weather, sharp and brief, instant in and Instant Out of season, 18 pronably the most periect midsummer weather anywhere inland, some preter Newport weather; most people prefer both. ‘There were the usual scenes in and around the pool rooms and at that celebrated corner whence the hacks start. The boorish, crude character of the country folk who everywhere assemble around the city tourists in summer ts: noted of these People in Northern New York, the men of the re- gion of Stillwater and Bemis Heights, with the exception that they have the enterprise of Empire Btate men and seldom cutsuch devices as our Jersey friends between Cape May and Long Branch. The Jersey countrymen 1s to say the least peculiar, He can see a penny but he can- mot see a dollar. The Saratoga countryman ts apt to be a Vermonter by birth or extraction, He is large and nard. He would generally prefer to fight rather than tosue. In Jersey they prefer to sue rather than to go fisting. , You can have no conception of the importance of a summer place like Saratoga to all the country folk round about 16 for thirty, even fifty miles, All the chickens, Milk, butter, trout, birds, what not, that fare raised in these parts finds immediate market at high prices in Saratoga. A community of sen- timent and interest therefore binds all these people to the central village, and this is why Sara- toga leads all the summer resorts, unless Newport be excepted, in this country. Every energy goes to @ common hopper; a public impulse is infused into large or little people. He who steps over the ling to swindle the stranger at the expense of the town 1s ostracised. Exceptions there are, Dut there is @ mark upon them. Yet, 60 vigorous is the latent public spirit ‘hat while strangers wonder at the enterprise of Saratoga the people themselves grumole at their own backwardness, Said Breslyn yesterday :— “T don’t think Saratoga appreciates the consia- eration it gets. There ought to ve the finest drive in the country between the town and the lake. We onght to have a boulevard here to make com- fort to al! people with equipages.”” They make it a business in Saratoga to send | their great hotel keepers to Congress; for the | hotels sustain all this district of country. Mr. Stewart is already prepared with his designs to remodel the Union Hotel and give it a celebrity equa! to bis reputation elsewhere. Mr. Marvin vold me yesterday that he purchased 30,000 yards ) carpet forthe United States Hotel from Mr. Btewart, Now, as to the racing. The race was splenaldly attended, as it always is at Saratoga, There was s hurdle race at the end, in which the horse Aero- Ate, one of the poor dumb animals forced to this business, faced the audience and refused to Jump. he preached a silent sermon to that great stand which few had the sensibility to understand. Could he have talked aloud he might have said :— “american Women put men and horses in peril. They alone!” The great raco of the day was between Spring- bok and Mate, both queerly named, probably for reasohs personal to their owners or breeders. Poor Mate was indeed but a mate to a powertul captain; for ppringbok is a splendid savage of a horse, with eyes wide apart and glaring, the nose proud, long and expressive of everything but sen- sibility. Itis a face to look into like Red Cloud’s, whom {remember to have seen in all his finery and power. Mate {8 a good horse, little and lean, a bay of no particular force, For Mate, as he went round the course, all feeling people felt. There was such Gisproportion tn the horses that all hoped against Dope that the feebler would win. Yet where was the wherewithal with which to win? The great | chestnut horse haa the mightiness of hip and shoulder, the depth between the mane nd Ako. -troay ts stride that was ot itself splendor, seeming power of the will over the very tall, which he appeared to move by volition, andas he ran it waved right out like a | rentient, feeling thing. Springbok from tie head tothe hairs was all alert. He rons with more Bpirit than any horse ever seen on the track. Longfellow had reliable, steady qualities. He was to make money for its master, Men looked at the reat horse and respected him. Bassett, his cele- rated competitor, was the type of the playil racer. He won without labor. He had a fashion Of looking back as he fled irom his competitors, as iu to say, “Come up aud run beside me. Let us be company. jut Springbok is not such a horse as elther of ‘these fine racers, He isa superb native savage. No mental resemblances are afforded by tim. He walks beiore the people like something created to ran and not to suggest ideas, There is almost a terror inspired by lis mighty strength, and when | he runs he runs with the mevte of a willing thing, full of as desperate intention as he is full of thews and sinews. Look at him; but tour ears old; no older than a iiitle urchin, + so invested with flesh and le ag to give.the impression of something of long record. He has hada brief, great, checkered hie- tory. Brought on the tari a Swigert, and show- Ing the biue grass of Kentucky in his stride and skin, he came on the turf at less than two years, and beat that beautiiul Katie Pease. Then he broke down and was thought to have come to we end of his stretch. The cool, crafty, steady Scotchman, McDaniel, was looking out for a two-year-old, and | fancied this horse. “Bet on McDantei’s stable all | the time,’ says the unprofessional turfman. But McDaniel can do about everything except He knows blood. Therem lies his power, and in his abiding, reasoning, persistent mind, which follows a horse as closely a8 a novelist fellows a character, He knows what a good thing nd how to treat it aiterwards. When the race done and the people are Sporting, shouting and adjusting tneir losses, this canny old chap ig down beside his jockey finding out some important points which shall assist nim to win the next Trace. “How did Springbok behave on the tut? Did ou have to urge him on thg quarter? Could he Have travelled on the gallop another mile #”” He 1s, therefore, always preparing for next time. He was once a negro tri and in horses, as in | men, he 18 an expert, dious. ever attentive man; loath to surrender anything, and, without de- signing to be go, he 18 really at the head of the turt in America. A trifle more interesting, con- siderably more intelligent than old John Harper, who owned Longieliow, he wins @ race without emotion, is seldom or never congratulated aiter- ard, and he goes right on, nothing if not the inner, wie purchased Springbok for the sum of $2,000. McGratn’s great horse, Tom Bowling, never en- countered Springbok but to beat him. It was the Same story told again that McDaniel enacted with his horse Bassett against Harper's Longfotow. He tried again and again. He waited for the cer- tain reduction of his opponent's horse by some of the casualties incidental to the turf. At last Bas- sett ran Longiellow down. Then, with $60,000 winnings, wagers not counted, the keen oid Scotch- man withdrew his horse ad began to look abroad for another champion, He has got him. The McDaniel stable resumes its place. Springbok i the living racing head of the turf. And, although the printed matter which follows this is written by one of the oldest and most approved racing authorities in this country, L venture the opmion of @ novice that Springvok {s the finest horse which has runinourday. There ismagnificent ex- ression in bim. There is mature’s proudest \dicrait, @ perfect horse, He has white feet and a white nose.

His jockey 8 an 7 sbman, Barbee, as was Mr. 6anford’s jockey, these men are like the horses they ride, almost jockeys by descent. They are not equalled by the native lads and riders we produce, There is some question as to whether the turf in this country is not in better condition than the Engiisi turf, more honest, more decent, conducted on more equitable principles and with taster average time than the Brilish turf; but gvdriy all the great jockeys of our period are Eng- ‘sb, The stables have a strong impregnation of Jobn Bull. }dam Laura Spillman, NEW YORK HERALD, TUESDAY, AUGUST 4, 1874.—TRIPLE SHEET. diferent motives and momentarily more McDaniel, A retired and rich manufacturer ordered to live in the open air and unwilling to live without @ vocation he took to the turf with spirit, nerve and the {ntention to learn, He 1s a Connecticut man who has had to spend much time In the South, buying cotton, ‘There he saw Ten Broeck, cottrill and other turfmen, and when he retired from bust- ness he set to work deliberately to foliow the business of raising and racing thor- oughbreds.

Itis very expensive business. “I told my husbana,” said a lady to me, whose young husband owned three or four horses, “that ifhe ‘dia not sell his horses and stop, we would come to poverty. They have to be sent by car a long distance at great expense, with grooms and jockey riders. They eat lt whole family.

I Igo to my room and wait t stop screaming, event there,” And go for the race. THE RACING. The track was heavy to-day, but not so bad as was anticipated from the rains of Saturday and Sunday. No race track in America dries so rapidly as this one at Saratoga. A few hours of sunshine change mud to dust, and but very little rain will again turn tne dust to mud. When the horses started the track was considered @ slow one and yet very fast time was made by the winners. Three races were on the card—tho first being @ mile dash, the sec- onda dash of two miles and an eighth and the third a handicap hurdle race oftwo mules over eight hurdles. All the races came off promptly and were soon over, the quantity being rather of the homeopathic order. The Saratoga Association ought to give more races or introduce a heat race each day, as ten minutes or less of running Is hardly enough to appease the appetites of healthy turfmen, The first race had ten starters. These were T. B, & W. R. Davis’ chestnut horse Fadiladeen, by War Dance, dam Nora Cecina, aged, carrying 109 lbs, ; James Franklin’s gray colt Jean Valjean, by Lightning, dam Seguin, 4 years old, 104 Ibs.; James McKee’s chestnut filly Minnie Mao, by Planet, dam Edina, 4 years old, 103 lbs. ; John Col fee’s brown colt B, F. Carver, by Lightning, dam La Victime, 4 years old, 96 ibs.; Mr. Belmont’s chestnut mare Woodbine, by Vensor or Kentucky, dam Fleur des Champs, 6 years old, 96 Ibs.; Thomas W. Dosweill’s bay gelding Diavolo, by Jonesboro’, dam Ninette, 4 years old, 94 lbs.; Joseph Donahue’s chestnut coit Dublin, by Kentucky, dam Zaidee, 8 years old, 64 Ibs; D.’ McDantel'’s’ brown’ filly Madge, by Australian, dam Alabama, 8 years old, Bt lbs.; W. Cottrill’s bay filly Lottie Moon, by Australian, dam by Lexington, 8 years old, 85 lba,; and Mr, Belmont’s chestnut colt Botany Bay, by Australan, dam Bonnet, 8 years old, 88 lbs. B. F. Oarver was the favorite, selling {on some of the pools for nearly as much as all the others together. He made a very poor race, however, and was badly beaten, coming in sixth, Colonel McDantel’s filly Madge was tne winner, barre | old Fadladeen by half a length after @ spirited struggle up the bome- stretch, Mr. Belmont’s Botany Bay third. Large amounts were lost on Carver. He appeared quite stale when he came on the track, and had none of the fine ped that he exhibited at Long Branch a few weel (0. The second race had but two starters. Teese were D. McDaniel’s chestnut colt Springbok, by Australtan, dam Hester, and M, 4. Sanford’s bay colt Mate, by Australian, dam Mattie Gross. The former was the favorite at five to one, bis deieat of Mate in @ dash of @ mile and. a quarter on the firat day of the meeting warran' pg.even reater odds, Springbok won, as was anticipated, bur not quite 80 easily as many supposed, as Mate ran him closer and better than either Preakness or Wanderer did on Thursday last for the Saratoga nh Springbok may now be called the champion o/ the American turl, as there is now no horse on the turf that can beat him from a mile upward and onward. ‘The closing event of the day was a handicap hurdle race, with four starters, comprising L. A. Hitchcock’s chestnut colt Limestone, by War | Dance, dam Transylvania, 4 years old, carrying | 152 1b8.; R. W. Waiden’s bay colt Acrollte, by As- teroid, dam Edith, ¢ years old, 145 ibs.; A. P.

He will enter the ring weigh- ing 133 pounds, and will be seconded by Barney Aaron and Jonnny Newell.

THE PRESS HAPPY teres THE £COUTS OF Two Thousand Little ‘treet Arabs March Up Broadway, Stezm Down the Sound and Swim at Great Neck. A strange scene was presented at the City Hall | yesterday morning. We are all familiar with the newsboy, but usually we see him singly or in groups of halla dozen, or, at the most, @ score. On this occasion they swarmed by the thousand, From six o’clock they began to congregate. They came from almost every direction—some of them apparently from the ground, ever, had the appearance of coming from above, Uertal..y none came str.ctly from the water, They w not notable for tidy looks. In dress many of them were sadly de- ficient. Not alone were they proudly desti- tute of hoes, but many lacked coats, some Lu. sorry apologies for pantaloonus, and not @ few gave reason todoubt if they possessed that uselai and conyenient article, a shirt. Each voy bore a ticket for the seventh picnic of the series, given under the auspices of the Children’s Free Excursion Fund, managed by Colonel George F. Williams, By eight o’clock the police of Captain Leary’s command began to form the boys in line, reject- ing all who were not provided with tickets, Ac- cepted boys were allowed to pass into the base- ment of the City Hail by the east door, and then emorged by sections of six abreast at the west door, forming a column in {front of the Hall, facing east, LINE OF MARCH, At the head of the line was the Governor’s Island Band, under the leadership of Emii Stigler, num- bering twenty musicians, who had gratuitously volunteered their services for the occasion, In the middie of the line was the cornet band of the Unton Home and School, of Eleventh avenue and 1blst street, twenty pieces, hired for the day. Colonel Williams commanded the brigade, aasisted | by Police Captain Leary, Drill Captain Copeland, Sergeant Hooker and eighteen men of the Twenty- sixth precinct. When the banners, flags and stand- ards had been properly placed the line marched, to the air of “The Mulligan Guards,” passing out atthe Park row side of the Park and along the upper part of the new Post OMice into Broadway. As it en- tered that thorougbiare all vehicles paused for tt to pass, With music and waving banners it filled half the street, reaching in length from Reade street to Beekmah. There were more than 2,000 boys, THE SCOUTS OF THB PRESS, im that strange procession, keeping step to the in- spiriting strains of clarion and oboe and martial beat of drum. They carried no arms, those young | soldiers of the newspaper army, tollers for a living, except the lithe, sinewy ones with which nature | endowed them, But they had every one of them | fought earnestly in the Merce fignt for iife. They were like two veteran regiments, Marching | with the tread of victors, as | they passed large manufacturing or | mercantile houses whose upper windows were crowded with gazers, they would cheer with shrill, childish voices, till | the echoes rung again. From every passing vehi- cle, every door, balcony and window they were | greeted with smiles and waviug 'kerchie(s, like flags of truce, while both the sidewalks were crowded as when New York greeted the Russian or British Prince or welcomed home the battle- worn Sixty-ninth or other favorite regiment from tre war. Through Canal street the route led across the Bowery, thence through Market street ‘to the whar!, where lay THE RXCURSION BARGE CHICAGO, decked with banners, flags and streamers, to re- ceive the light-hearted, happy throng, At the en- trance each surrendered his ticket of admission and received one as a check for retreshments, A count of these showed the number taken anoard to be 2,066. They at once took possession of both decks, the Governor’s Island Band playing below and the ‘Home’? voys above. Such a scene of merry disorder and nolsy, gleeful enjoyment van hardly be imagined, unless one could suppose the effect of multiplying the number of lungs and hands ana feet to testify to complete delight. in the surging crowd were a lew colored boys, who seemed to sulter from no prejudice on account vf race, but to stand on a perfect equality with their lighter skinned and thinner lipped companions, wungling without distinction tn all sports and pus- limes, Evidently, so far as the newsboys are con- cerned, they accept the social changes Wrought by the unsuccessful rebellion, There were among the boys cripples, several lacking legs or para- lyzed or with twisted ieet, and one Who had only one finger left to two stumps of hands. These couid not join in the ceaseless activity and restless movements of their fellows; still, they had their share of the feast of pleasure. On the of the day’s blesstogs, the bath.

The barge wil then be towed out upon the river and over the waters of the Bay. Many mothers, who had caught some passing rumor of the purposed early departure, hastened to the Guild office, at No. 52 Varick street, bearing their children in their arms, and eagerly asked for tickets, A large number of volunteers were em- ployed in filling up the blanks on the little pieces Of neatly printed card voard, and others were hur- rying to the diferent dispensaries, where they will in great part be distributed, The writer took some tickets for distrivation among the sick families he had visited from time to time, and on the way stopped in at “THE NEW YORK CHILDREN'S FREE DISPENSARY.” There he found Dr. Rankin, surrounded by a crowd of women, each carrying @ baby tn her arma. They were all faded looking little onea, | blighted by bad air and conflmement in | dark, damp and notsome places, as fruit if blighted by an overweening shade. Some of them were shrunken apd pinched, and looked as though @ good strong respiration would collapse their little lungs and shatter their frail bodies. As the visitor entered one poor woman was beggin hard that the Doctor might let her take ner chil and go upon @ sloop upon which her brother, a boutman, was employed, and upon which she could take arough and ready sort of cruise for three days. The Doctor sald ‘No; the babe needed air, aod She must continue to make trips upon the ferryvoats.” Sut a three days’ voyage under such circumstances would be death in place of lite to the infant.
