SARATOGA RACES, | —_—_———— Saratoga Ladies as Early Birds. ——-————" THE MAN WHO NEVER SLEEPS. Three Capital Races and a Walk Over. Baily Fuller Walks Over Her Match—Rhada- manthus the Winner of the Two-Year- Old Stakes, Botany Bay ofa Match and Fadladeen of the Mile and an Eighth Dash, Saratoga, N. Y., August 19, 1874. A pretty woman looks prettiest early in the morning—at Saratoga. And indeed it seems the | Prettiest of them rise early here. They look qucenly in a ballroom, whirling around in the richest of dresses; they }ook beautiful as they come bearing down on a table through the main ebannel of the dining room; but in the morniug— say about seven o’cleck, and hundreds of them are sampling the waters at that time—when It is cool and pleasant and the balconies are not crowded, there, in the whitest of lawn dresses, their hair dressed in a plain but winsome manner, ® rose doing duty tor the diamonds at the meck, they look just pretty—not queenly, not Deautiful but pretty! “Not rotten pretty either,” ‘asa friend of mine suggested the other morning, “out jest pretty.» 1 was over in the beantiful Jawn of “The States,” a little after seven this morning, chatting with a lesal iriend from the } Eastern Shore of Maryland. He had just come in from the stables at the cours», for which he had started from the hotel as early as five o'clock. “That Morrissey’s a wonderfu fellow,” said my friend. “Undcoubtealy te !s when you consider him pnys | Mealy,” 1 returned, “*No; not alone that way. To be sure, he is batt op a grand scale, like this hotel bere, and God @dn’t put that biz head on those big shoulders for Bothing; but i refer vo the fellow’s application to Ris business, or ‘profession’ as they calt it, 1 Rever saw him to know him untii last week, and no matter how early I you know I’m an early bird—Morrissey seems to have the start of me.” “That's queer,” I sald, “for, no matter how late Igo to bea—and you know fm a late bird—Morris- sey seems as if he wanted to go me an hour or two better.” “Then, when docs he sleep ?” inquired my Mary- lander. , “Give itap.

The track was in splendid condition and whe weather very delightiul. The attendance was not large for what promised to be card, olds; the third, @ match of a mile, and the fourth ahandicap for all ages, adashof a mile and an eighth, :. ‘The first event of the day was a match for $1,000 tween W. R. Travers’ bay mare Emily Puller, by Echipse, dam Oliata, five years old, carrying 111 lbs., and L. L. Loriliara’s brown mare Ophelia, by Jerome Edgar, dam Pasta, five years old, carrying 111 ibs. There was considerable speculation on this race, and betting was quite brisk on the re- sult. Ophelia was the favorite at about three to two in the pools the night before, but on the track Just betore the time to start, Emily Fuller became the favorite at three to one, This state of odas Seemed to have the effect of convincing the owner of Ophelia that she was going to be beaten, and tn- stead of sending the mare to the post he ordered her to the stable and paid forfeit. Emily Fuller pace, and was declared the winner Of the forfeit. The second race was @ sweepstakes for two- year-olds; $1,000 entrance, half forfeit; the asso- ciation to add a piece of plate of the value of $500; ope mile. For this event there were six nomina- tions, but only three sent their representatives to the post. The original entries were Lawrence and 8. Lorillard’s brown colt Hyder Eiht TeainingrcD, dam Lady Duke, by Lexington; Hunter and Tra- vers’ bay colt King Bolt. by Lexington, dam Eltham manthus, ClPSe i Vandal, dam Sadowa, by lard’s roan colt Risk, by and owner's by ‘ainington, dam Nemesis, P, Lorillard’s brown colt Vassal, Jack Malone; P. Loril- volver, dam Siren, by Oliver, bay colt Chesapeake, by Lexiogton, dam Roxana, by imported ‘Ones- terfela. Three of the above paid forfeits, Rhadamanthus, Vassal dnd Chesapeake being the ouly contestunts for the trophy of $4,000, including the cup. Chesapeake was @ great favorite, palling for more than the two other starters combin his capital race for the Kentucky Stakes warrant- ing his backers in laying the long odds on him, In rise—and | one of the pools Chesapeake sold for $570, Rhada- manthus $300, Vassal $155. Chesapeake was very unruly when brought on the track, and ex- hausted himself considerably before starting. He was last in the race, » Belmont’s black ooit Khadamanthus winning in gallant style, Wassai second. The race was a good one, and the running of Rhadamanthus astonisbed the spectators, as Chesapeake only a litule over a week ago had beaten him for the Ken- tucky stakes apparently with ease; but irom his race on this occasion we doubt very much if there M another two-year-old that can outrun hima | tile m bis present iorm, and when he has another "g growth we predict that he will bein the Trout in many of the three-year-old stakes of 1875. are struck with the fact that “JOHN” does very little sleeping. ‘whole mind to it when he does sleep, My friend and J got talking about his trip to the Stables, and before we were through he had made me promise to get up before five o’c!ock to-morrow | Od horse, He was not such a bad bargain alter all for Mr. Belmont, The third race was a match between D. | Deamond’s brown filly Mollie Darling ana H. uaft- Perhaps he gives bis | ney’s chesiuut colt Botany Bay, the latter being the favorite at two toone.

Half an hour was wasted by Chesapeake breaking away aod jumping ail around and over the course. His owner asked permission to start the norse on the outside (bis position being the pole), but this was not allowed im time, and the flag feil with him behind the others, He then ran to the outside. Vassal took the lead, Rhadamanthus second around the turn, but before they had ran tar Chesapeake bad passed the biack colt and was at Vassal’s sa‘idie skirts, At the quarter pole Vassal led a neck, Chesapeake second, balf a length in front of Khadamanthus. Going down the back stretch Chesapeake showed his nose in front, Vassal second, a length ahead of Rhadamanthas. At the half-mile pole the positions of the horses were unchanged, but soon after leaving there Vassal showed in iront, and he gradually incressed his advantage until he was half a length away. Chesapeake seemed then to be quitting, and be- fore the three-quarter pole was reac! Vassal was clear of him, Rhadamanthus lay quietly two lengths behind, and never made a movement until well mto the homestretch. As soon as the colts got into straight work Chesapeake was seen to swerve, and his jockey had more than he could do to ‘keep him straight, and he was losing ground at every stride. At tuis time Rhadamantnus was coming with a rash, and ma iew moments he had passed Chesa- peake and was on even terms with Vassal. A most spirited head and head run here ensued vetween these two for another hunared ards, when Mr. Belmont’s colt gave Mr. Loriltard’s on , and coming away won the race by two lengths, Vasual | six lengths ahead of Chesapeake.

Yesterday afternoon while walking on the beach 1 met Trautz sauntering along with his trainer, Ben Whitman. In the conversation which {ol- lowed during the walk up the. beach 1 learned the following particulars avout Trautz, which are very interesting, as nothing of a biographical character concerning him has yet appeared in print :--Those familiar with the Hudson River for the last fifteen years will remember an old mill | | that used to stand on the river bank, just below | West Point, where now nothing but a little water. The mill was five stories high, county schoolboy’s ambition was to dive out 0! the fourth #sory window into the river. Those , fo! who were unable or airaid to do this “stunt” had | no status in juvenile society of the county. Among _ wince! the jumpers from the fourth story window was a round-faced, chabby youngster, who was hailed as ‘“Andy.’? troants were discussing window of the mill. Andy was one of the party, and being regarded as a champion in all matiers of daring and endurance, the “anybody” in the challenge meant him. ances of success from his companions, Andy mounted the fifth story and went off into the river, Down, down he went, and the truants tn the win- dow watched the water with bated bri At last he came up about fitty feet from where he went down, and, throwing himself on his back, gave a yell, such as only boys can give, and struck out for the other shore. Traut dates bis swimming successe 8. Notwitustanding that he played “hookey” now and then Trautz has managed to gather a store of information which makes his conversation structive aud interesting. In 1865 Trantz came to Long Branch to spend tue summer, and his daring excurstons out beyond the breakers soon became asubject of alarm and comment. It got abroad that there was a great swimmer at the Branch, and some New Yorker, whose name does not occur to me now, came down to make a matcn with the then unknown swimmer. A friendiy match was arranged and Trautz came out the victor, July 25, 1865, Atter this he had several matches around New York, which were with amatcurs and never came to public notice. Two years ago he swam another match at Long Branch with some man of | local repute in one of the east side wards, in which he came out victorions. In fact he has been known | to the frequenters of the Branch for a long time as @ daring and expert swimmer, Andy says he has no ambition to become notorious be the case When he takes Johnson as an oppo- nent, he accepts the notoriety with an difference common only to modest men. Johnson came here to cast about for an opponent worthy of his met- tle, very naturally expecting to find such an in- dividual at the American Brighton. His nopes were well nigh witucred when Trautz’s modest scruples were overcome, and a match arranged. Trauta began to train on the 1st of August, under Ben Whitman, and on that day tipped the scales at 192 pounds. To-day he balances the beam at 180, having reduced twelve pounds in two weeks. | He is five feet eleven inches nigh, and has just completed his twenty-eighth yeur. tanned to a bronze color, and he is in better con- dition than ever before. Of Johnson he says, “Jack 18 a royal fellow, but I'm going to do iny best to beat him.’? ‘Tnis is exactly what Jack says 80 the race on Saturday will be “no slouch." SKBTCK OF JOHNSON. Untike Traatz, Johnson has a long and brilliant record, the pages of which are not snilied with a | single defeat. From the first time he went into the water his career has been one of unbounded | success, The best men in the United Kingdom @nd on the Continent have measured strokes with him only to be defeated. Johnson was born in Manchestes, England, March 28, 1849, and is, con- sequentiy, twenty-llve years OF ae. He is five seet nine incoes high, or two inches shorter than ‘Trautz, with whom he tips tue scale even—1s0 pounds, As a model of physical culture it will be safe to say that Johnson has no equal, even in the ring. When stripped, with nis biceps and pec- voral muscles contracted, he can be compared to nothing that] have seen. When he expands his chest and hardens his muscles lie reminds one of nh imthe embrace of serpents, as described yy Viry “When Johnson was fourteen years of age he went into water for the first time, under the guia- auce of his brother, who was quite astonisned to find that the youngster required no instruction a3 to how he shoutd use his hands or feet. After ne had practised tor some time he was entered for a race at where wis style of swimming caused much com- ment. JONSON'S MEDALS, In 1867 he SWam a match against two competitors at Leeds, and Won the championship of England, together with a beautiful medal, Ashe was now the champion of Gngland, a position which many coveted, he was crowéed with challenges, all of which he accepted. In the next year (1868) he swam for and won the championship of the Mersey, for which he received @ medui inscribed :—- POLE TIEOREPELEDELOLEDOLEDEAEOEEEDE DEEL EDODOLED EDEL: h yt VASE SWIMMING. ?
