SARATOGA RACKS, A Brilliant Gathering of Specta- tors at the Track, GREAT EXCITEMENT AND SPLENDID SPORT. Olitipa, Countess and Dia- volo the Winners. A Pen Picture of the Races, Scenes and Incidents. —_—— SARATOGA, July 27, 1876, Saratoga is truly the liveiiest watering place in the country.g Grand hotels, medicinal waters, with thousands o/ earnest patrons before break- fast even, beautiful scenery, a grand old lake, and the sort of visitors who seem determ.ned to dress Well and live on the easiest plan. They do things here in regular order, Drinking the waters, piay- ing croquet, rowing on the “pond,” driving into the delightiul suburbs, dirting in the twiiight aud dancing at the hotels in the evening—everything comes in exact routine, To-day, however, the Programme bad ap addition, and an attract. ive addition, too. It was the second day of the spring meeting of the Saratoga races, As all the other amusements are entered into with genuine enthusiasm, so this morning the fashionable world at Saratoga was reaay to pay court to the beauties of the turf, At hall-past mine precisely the club house pool room was be- sieged by about three hundred of the sterner sex, Who were bent on speculating on the events of the day, Mr. Cathcart was sonerously going through the whole gumut of the auctioneer, and the words, “Madge,” “Brigand,” “Spindrift,” “All at,” “Going, going,” “Third and last time at,’? Seemed to be repeated as rapidly ag the tongue could repeat them. Bat, though business was ex+ tremely lively, the pool room did not present the exhilarating feature that 11 does when there Is an “extraordinary event,” and the auctioneer sus- pended the sale for an instant to announce, emid tronical laughter, that “a friend is dead,” The next step was to 4rive to the race track, a Splendid ride of about a mile ana a quarter, ‘tho morning was delightiul; light, shilting clouds Noated slowly across the sky and effectually less- ened the effects of the sun’s rays. The road, alter Jeaving the club house, is a3 straight as an air Une, On either side Muurish young trees, rich in Toliage, and the newly mown hay and the perrame of summer flowers render the atmosphere agree- able and the trip extremely enjoyable. In a tew minutes the visitor is set down im front of the im- posing gateway, around which cluster s.outa dozen special constables, each holding a locust as ® silent threat to the would-be rowdy that, aa order must be preserved, physical force is to be considered paramount, Entering the grand stand a most beautiful scene meets the eye, Gere isa track that may be fairly said to be sans paretl in its ensemble. The ground is harrowea to a level that 1s almost faul.less, thia being con- tinued until tue horses start, and fenced in with white painted palings the entire distance. Away betweon tue fences is one pretty stretch of evenly mown turf, dotted here and there with red and white flags, which lorm imaginary lanes leading to the little walls over whieh the horses leaped duringthe steeplechase, Beyond and skirting the track on three sides are several nandsome little Villas, @ neat compact copse of firs and beech and some little farms. Between the grand stand and the track is a long narrow slip of closely ciipped Jawa, which is occupied by several hundreds of the fashionabies, awatting anx:ously the day’s | amusements, They comprise several well Known New York gentiemen,,who may sometimes bo met as actively engaged in the purlieus of Wall street The end of the lawn occupied by the pool stand and the Paris Mutucis was also packed with gea- Uemen anxiogs to s-eculate on the races, while the outside field, reaching dowa the quarter- stretch nearly a third of @ mile wus compactly, (med with handsome equipages, the occupants of which had chosen that place for seeing the races rather than take their chances with the crowd on the grand stand. Oi this vast congregation of | people not one poorly dressed or ill-behaved per- son Was uiscovered. Asa military gentleman re- marked, “it was a dress parade.” Notwithstanding the heavy rains of the pre- vious day the track was not as bad as was apprehended. It was comparatively slow, but probably much better than any other track in America would have been alter being deluged as this was yesterday, The track was extremely suitable for all the candidates engaged in green- backs and glory. The working of the horses nas ail been Gone this morning on the old sand track, among the pines, on the north side of the turn- pike. Atearly morn the old course presented a lively appearance, and a great number of horses | took their morning “‘breezings.”” But the grana stand itseif presented a scene of striking beauty. The neatly cusn.oned, luxurious seats were filled to the last number by several thousands of the haut ton, gathered from all parts ofthe country. Here were ladies dressed {nm all the elegance of fashion and gentiemen adorned as faultiessy as though the scene were the ball. The coup d’cet was attractive in the extreme. From one end to the other was one im- mense sea of waving ripbons, artificial fowers in all the brightest colors, plumes suggestive of the | Elizabethan era and fans innumerable that waved without ceasing. Neither Ascot, Epsom, nor Longenamps, could present @ livelier or more enthusiastic scene. Twelve o'clock and the bell calls up the four horsea that are to Open tne sport of the day. Up they come and the gayiy decorated jockeys ia brown, maroon, orange anc blue, and white are pinced in the saddie. Two or three false Btarts, and they are of; the ladies wave their fans quickly, the geptlemen saccom- panying with aloud marmur of applause, and onward tney dash to the goal, the brown leading at least sixty feet. The beauty of this track is i's eriect level. You can follow the horses at every foot from the start to the finish. Tnose who de- sire to “turn” their money while the race ret On Must aiways do it “with bis eyes open.” There ‘was considerabie time betweem the end of the first race and the commencement of the second, but finally the starters were collected in the fractional track. There they were, six in all—blue, black, red and aark red, green and cherry color. Now @ stir occurs on the grand stand and the hum of a thousand yoices is in- antly hushed by the loud appeal o! a man ciothed with the authority of “police” printed on @ piece of white silk wnich he exnibits /rom @ but- tonhole in his coat, “One and all sit down! Keep down parasols and umbrellas!” yells this tuac Vonary. And they do keep them down, showing a great respect for Sasnoriegs But the spirited nags Will not foot the mark, Brigand, the blue,” as several ladies term his, wants to canter over the track alone. Now they go, and thousands of heads and tongues follow them as they scamper round, shaking up the litte aust that had been created since the morning. As they approach on the quarterstretch it 18 scen that the biue ts fifth and that Countess, the blue sash, is coming in ahead, having @ Jead which she maintains to the ena Now about 500 men gather around the time- Keeper's Dox on the lawn and discuss, warmly in some cases, the failure of the “blue.” This lasts tes, when they return to their seats and to the “Muvuels,” at the end and await the greatevent of the day, the steeplechase, Tne ‘Weather is still delightful but the gentlemen find ‘t necessary to spread their umbrelias, and cen- sequently the lawn has the appearat for @ while, of Broadway during ® rain storm.

It may fairly be sua that @ finer day’s racing has not occurred during the present season, THE RACING. The first race was the Alabama Stakes, for three. year-oid fillies, one mile and an eighth, This Stakes closed with forty nominations, four of which only came to the post. These were Mr. Belmont’s chestnut filly Otitipa, by Leamington, dam Oliata; Harbeck & Jonnson’s chestnut filly Australind, by Australian, dam Dolly Carter; Messrs, Doswell & Cammack’s brown filly Invoice, by Lexington, dam Volga, and D. McDaniei’s brown filly by Asteroid, dam by Planet. Olitipa ‘was & great favorite, selllmg for more than all the others combined, Invoice was the sec- ond choice, Australind next in favor, the Asteroid filly bringing very small figures, After @ capitaily run race by Olitipa sbegalloped home a winner by eighty yards, all the others being beaten before reaching the 3alf- mile pole. Invoice came in second, beating Mc- Daniel’s Asteroid filly, Australind third, The lat- ter is the most nervous creature that ever was trained, and it seems a waste of money in pre- paring her for races, as she whips herseif before she starts. There have been many like her who have " them fast time in trials, but when brought on the track for a race they commence fretting and | choke themseives before the fag falls, The second event was & dash of three-quarters ofa mile, for all ages, for a purse of $500, Eight horses came to the post. These were D. McDan- jel & Co.'s chestnut filly Madge, by Australian, dam Alabama, four years oid; 0.

Lorillard’s bay colt Leanaer (late Searcher), by Enquirer, dam by Bonnie § Scotland, tliree eur ola. Madge was the fayorite, her three- quarters of ®& mile at this place last August in 1:15%. the best on record, leading spec- Ulators to the bellel that she was invincibie at that distance, Leander, with the best mile rec- ord, waa oext in favor, ‘brigana being the third choice. The latter, however, sold second just before the start, Countess, ridden by Swim, won the race alter a very close struggle with Madge, Spindrits being tira, Brigand fourtn, swim | showed conspicuously his great knack In getung away Urst in short races ou this occasion, where as svon as the flag Jell, and was never headed ajterward.

Eight horses started, These were A. P, Green's bay mare Daylight, 5 years ola, carrying 13 los.; C. F. Elwes’ caesinut horse Prodigal Son, 4 years Old, 145 lbs.; A.

Helen Bennet was first over, Diayolo sec- ond, Stanford third, ‘Trouble Jourth, rene. fifth, Prodigal Son sixta, Deadhead seventh, The Second jump was over a brush fence on their way alongside of the fractional track, the filly showing the way over this also, Diavolo second, Trouble third, Stanford fourth, Daylight filth, Prodigal Son sixth, Deadhead bringivg up the rear. They then circled around the track to the east, where ‘trouble took the lead, Diavolo sec- ond, Helen Bennet third, Daylght fourth, Prodigal Son fifth, Stanford sixth, Deadhe seventh, The horses then wheeled .again ana then faced the stand, coming upto which they jumped a stone wall, the horses running in the order given above. Prodigat Son fell as he alight- ed alter the jump and that was the last of him tn the race. Neither nan por beast was injured. ‘The other horses moved ou as belore, and, coming to the water in iront of the stand, Trouble was the firat over; but he did not make aclean jump, He alighted with nis nind legs inthe pond. Diavolo was second, Daylight third, Helen Bennet fourth, Phantom ith, Deadhead sixth. They then crossed the fractio) track, making Jumps over the fen side of the on tack, and then ran to @ stone wai! in the middle o! the field, ‘Trouble leading, Diavolo second, Daylight third, Helen Bennet fourth, Deadhead filth, Stanford sixth, Tbe horses then ran out of the track in (ront of Loriliard’s stables, and coursed around outside the track, jumping two hedges and a stone wall, and then came across the regular track into the west fleld; then over the fences of the tractional track into the east field, Trouvle all the bi two — lengths, javolo second, one lengt! anead of Daylight, Deadhead fourth, Helen Bennet fifts, Stanford sixth. There was no change in the places of the horses over the stone wail and the water in [ront of the stand, ‘They crossed the fractional track and again en- tered the west fleld, Trouble still showing tiie way over the wails and hedges, closely pursued by Diavolo, Daylight, Deadheaa, Stasfora and Helen Bennet, the horses being very close together, They jumped the walls and hedges on their way to tne regular track still closer together, and as they jumped outof the fleld on to the regular track, near the hali-mile pole, Trouble led two lengths, Diavolo second, two lengths ahead ol Daylight, Deadhead fourth, Stanford fi(th, Helen Bennet bringing up the rear. When they reached the hurdie on the lower turn Trouble and Diavolo were head and head, tne ethers as before, and the issue evidently laying between the two named, On they vame into the homestretch, under whip and spur, and at the last jump over a hurdle at the furlong pole they were still head aud head, After leaving there Diavolo outran Trouble and came home @ winner by two lengths, Trouble second, two lenytns ahead of Deadhead, Dayligat fourth, staniord fifth, Helen Bennet sixth.

This may e been the fault of the yacntsmen themselves or it may not have been; still the facts were the same, It occasioned many remarks, and was not working to the interest of the noble pastime in gen- eral and certainly not to this spirited or- ganization in particular, This morning thi changed, From duiness there was universal activity. And while the feet exhibited so much preparation it became nojsed on shore that something was going to happen, and so the resl- dents became excited and early flocked to the piers, where they had wafted to them the odor of fied onions and brotied steak, which made up the early breakfast on the nearest boats to the land, The occasion of this, Joy in the hearts of the Jolly tars was due to the fact that there had been a race determined upon between the sloops of the fleet, It was the first downrignt, earnest contest of the cruise, and the incentive to win the prizes was made greater, inasmuch as among this clasa of vessels present there were half a dozen or more of the smartest boats of their size afloat upon any water, A!l of. these signified their Intention of starting, This then has been the means of bringing the squadron back to life—a Tace and nothing more. It was agreed upon early in the morning on board the flagship at a meeting of the captains, THE ENTRIES. Six of the sloops responded, These comprised those well known in many close contests, and to beat either of them has been considered no mean victory, First on the list was the White Wing, owned by Dr. A, Perry Bliven. and none of the ola school of yachtsmen around Gowanus Bay but have frequently expressed themseives as considering her very fast—a fact, in- deed. Then came the Kate, long the property of that enthusiastic emateur sailor, ex-Rear Commodore Diilon, in whese hands she had a record for woeatherly qualities sur- Passed by few pleasure crait of her size, She is now owned by Mr. G. F. Randolph, who ts deter- mined to test her in every contest of importance under the auspices of the club. Next tn order is the Sadie, last year the property of Mr, Smith Ford, present owner of the schooner Lethea, but now flying the pennant of the Rear Commodore, M. P. Davidson, as genuine a sailor and yacht: man as ever stepped on the deck of a yacht. ‘Those already named are of the first clas. Of the second class alike number entered, Tne Maria heads the list, with Mr. Richard I. Huntley as owner. The tidy Maggie B., at whose masthead flies the private signal of that ambitious achtsman, General Tom Thumb, follows, It nag een Known since the rendezvous at Glen Cove that the General intended to go prize hunting this cruise. He leit the feet on the run jrom Livya’s Harbor here and proceeded to Bridgeport, in order to ship his racing crew; and, having done this, Api eared among us again this’ morning all atanto for anything that might turnup, Mugs" and “pennants” are what he desires, and the ri just euited him.

The sun rose with a crimson flush haze, like a glass of old Vognac, and in a twinkling the thin haze that covered the har- bor was dispelled. There was but little wind in the earlier hours, yet the southwest breeze or westeriy trades were sure to make, and ali were happy, Twelve o'clock Was appointed jor the Start. One hour before there was commotion among the racing craft, Mainsails were set and everything made snug for the occasion, which was destined to be replete with incident. Ihe majority of the sloops iny off the village, and, asthe time azreed apon &)proached, across the harbor, ami stood off and on opposite tne Manhanset, awaiting the signal to prepare. This gave the pundreds of guests ap opportunity of ex- amining and criticising the boats before they were sentaway. During this time the wigger ‘aclits—Madeleine, Sea Witch, Clio, Comet and viston—were preparing to get under way, and boats were taking on board o! them ail the ladies irom the Manhanset that desired to witness the whole race; and this number was many. The young ladydom there was nearly crazed by the announcement that the captains of the schooners wouid be pleased to convey them over the course. Seldom has a yachting contest haa so mach beauty and fashion to cheer it on, The moruing tollets ol the ladies were exquisitely lovely, and their fresh fa: wreathed in smiles in the anticipayon of @ glorious sail and a close straggie. THE Race. At last all was in readiness and the first gun was fired from the flagsmp about noon. The Tacers Were Waiting, but not until twenty minutes after was the second gun given bidding them to be away. It was a flying start.
