Saratoga. X. Y., Aft 10. — Rashti. from the Newcastle Stable, was an easy winner if the rich Spinaway Stakes, the feature of a good program furnished by the Saratoga Association today, and worth . N20 net to lie winner. An even dozen went to tlie post and Hasliti was always first choice, with the trio from the stable of James K. Keene — Love-Not, Spin and Sweepaway — next in demand. lxive-Nol tinislied second and Sweepaway third, while Spin was beaten for fourth place by Savannah, the Hitchcock starter. The performance of Rashti was a marvelously Rood one, for while she took up 122 pounds, three pounds over the scale, she was at no time fully extended to win in a common canter by three lengths in 1:06*. which is remarkably good time for the Saratoga track. Tliis race affords an excellent line on her chances In the Futurity, in which she will meet both colts and tillies. Unfortunately for Andrew Miller and Thomas Welsh she is not eligible for the Hopeful, to Ik* run the coming -Saturday. Jockey Shilling had tlie mount on Hasliti today and when she broke well he lost no time in hustling her Into a lead of a couple of lengths, and the result was never afterwards in doubt. Housemaid attempted to give the winner a chase, which tactic* resulted in her weakening badly in the stretch, while l.ove-Nol. the one to race to second, was not hurried by Notter in the early stages and as a result had enough left to finish with a good burst of speed. Ilound the World, the western tilly that has made considerable of a reputation for herself in the east. whs the one that disappointed in the running, though she had some excuse. In the stretch she was in a good position, when she was cut off by Live-Not it nd it is possible tliat but for the interference she might have finished in the money, but there was never a time from the break that she had a ghosl of a chance with tlie winner. The Spinaway Stakes, instituted in 1881. was discontinued in 1891 and resumed in 1001, since which time its history is as follows: Year. Winner. Wt. Jockev. Val. Time. 1001 Rossignol 112 T.

It went to l iicis Chief, one of the long shots, well handled by E. 1iigau. It was the lirst winner ridden by Dugun following his reinstatement a few days ago and he was heartily applauded when he heat out Shilling, who had the mount on Firestone. The San ford stable was in good form, two of the races going to the Amsterdam sportsman., when bis good sprinter. Herkimer, beat a smart lot In the opening dash and his two-year-old. Granite, made a show of a big band of maidens. Granite is a son of Rockton and the fast mare, Adriutha. and the manlier in which he won his race suggests that he belongs among the good ones. A disqualification came out of tlie mile race for selling platera when Black Mate tinislied lirst after he had carried Woodcraft to the extreme outside through the stretch. Shilling. -who rode Woodcraft, made a claim of foul ami it was promptly allowed, while jockey 4! lass, who rode Black Mate, was sils-| cmlcd for the rest of the meeting by the stewards, who looked upon the Interfere ace as intentional. It develo|ied later that Class and Shiliing had an altercation recently am! that Glass was taking this opportunity to wipe out the score. It was announced during tlie day that the Matron, one of the rich two-year-old features of the fall meeting of the Westchester Kacing Association, would be run at the Pimlico meeting of the Marvland Jockey Clab. This is following the lead of the Coney Island Jockey Club in transferring its Futurity tn Saratoga. The Matron is run in two divisions, one for fillies and the other for colts and geldings. It is probable that the first half will ibe run on the o| ening day of the Iimlico meeting.
