although Cerro Santo'a splendid periorm
ance In the fourth even is worthy of no
tice. In the last race J. V. Klrby looked
good to tha bettors, and their money
flowed In on his highness In a steady
stream until Leash's tip went the
rounds, when the money changed Its
course at once. Leash opened at two to
one, and before the horses went to the
post the Ducat mare waa wiped off the
betting-boards, the bookies feeling too
confident of the mare's success to rlak
gnv mora money. The start waa not
good. Chickadee being left at the post
and the others getting away rather dis
concerted, tnvlctus having the lead at
the stand, but relinquishing It to North
west at the quarter. Butler kept North
west to the front in great shape, Earn
haw keeping Leash In second position
until the end of the stretch, when he
moved her iip on the tiring Northwest
inch by inch, shooting her a neck In front
at the wire, amid the shouts of the ex
cited spectators who had bet almost
everything on Leash.
In the fourth race Cerro Santo, at
three to four, had his troubles, and his
backers can well thank Herbert for
landing him In front. At the start
Cerro Santo was boxed and got off last,
and despite Herbert's efforts Santo
couldn't better his position very much
until the stretch, when he began to pull
away and gain on Tltua, who had taken
first position from Kid red. Herbert
kept at his mount, however, and with
Titus they paased the stand together,
Cerro Santo having a head to spare at
the wire. It was a very pretty flnlah
and one that was rightly applauded.
Suburban Uueen KOt Into trouble in the
hack stretch and was practically out of
the money in a Jiffy.
In" the first two races Crosby, at two
to one, and Harka, at the same price,
won because Herbert outrode the other
boys throughout the entire course in
bfcth ragfsa.
Military was heavily played in the
tlrst at eight to five, and Young Pep
per, at even money, was evaded In the
second. Both horses finished outside
of the money, and the talent waa corre
spondingly unhappy.
In the third race Doublet got away in
front and waa never In trouble, winning
in clever style. Raclno waa tipped as
a good thing at five to one, but was
outclassed. AH that Powell could do
. with Raclno was to retain fifth position
the entire distance. Doublet carried a
big bunch of money at even cash, and
showed up all the other naga but Black
Cleud, who came second.
Red Damsel, at four to five, was the
next good thing to win. Tullett got the
mare away next to last, but after a fine
ride managed to win out by two lengths
WVhano, at 10 to 1, waa touted at the
last minute as a cinch, and he showed
there was. some truth In. the rumor by
finishing a strong second, after keeping
Red Damsel in trouble during the Jour

ATOOA'S MEETTXQ MILLIOW
LA. YD DODD WELL.
(Journal Special Bervlce.) ,
New York. August 21. The running
of the Futurity Saturday maraed the
opening of the fall racing Jn the Metro
politan district. It waa 8 race worthy
of the season and a crowd worthy of the
race gathered to see the grandest lot
of two-year-olds seen in this country
for many a year battle for the premier
ship of the American turf, which waa
captured by Artful.
The racing for the balance of the
meet at the Bheepahead Bay track give
every indication of keeping up to the
high standard set by today's card.
The season has developed the fact
that In the youngsters Just beginning
their, racing careers we have worthy suc
cessors to the Waterboys. Hermises.
Irish Lad, MoCheaney and Africanders,
who are Just about finishing theirs.
Africander la to have a chance to
prove he Is not a back number during
the Bheepahead Bay meet. He Is to try
for the Annual Champion stakes, and
Frank Weir Is confident the great son
of Star Ruby has a good chance to land
this 825,000 plum. Weir says of Afri
cander:
"He was never better In his life. His
legs are a clean aa a newly foaled colt's
and he Is as bright and chipper as any
man could wish a horse to be. I feel
fairly confident he will run to hi very
beat form when I get him screwed up.
He will surely be ready for the Annual
Champion. He ha no other engage
ment at the bay, and there will be no
occasion for giving htm much to do.
An overnight race will be his only race
before the Annual Champion."
An event of the Saratoga meet Just
closed worthy of not was the return
to the turf of Charley Reed. When Lo
chlnvar passed the finish In front of
Workman and Incense Tuesday. It waa
the first time that the man that bid
2100.000 in a lump sum for St. Blaise
when he waa offered with the rest of the
horses of the late August Belmont, had
won a race since 1886, at Jerome Park.
Reed ha been absent from tha turf
SS sn owner for many years, snd It wss
only on Saturday that he returned to
It again, when Lcchlnvar took part in
the fifth race and ran a good second to
Captain Brown's colt Agile.
A score of year ago there were few
better known men on the turf than
Charley Reed. After Loehlnvar ran hi
race, Sanford of the Hurricane farm
congratulated Reed and remarked that
they were the oldeat men with winning
colors on the turf today. And It ts
true. Reed Acknowledges 78 summers,
while Sanford can go him nearly five
years better. In this connection It Is
worth mention that Sanford captured
every handicap In which h entered
borae during , the Saratoga meet with
the exception, of one, the Saratoga handi
cap, and In that he was In fhe money,
Caughawaga finishing third.
There is likely to be a revision of
the program next yesr st Saratoga. As
the stakes sre arranged now only th
owners who have million behind them
have a chance to win. The fact that
Jnmes R. Keene has won the 360.000
Great Republic, the 318.000 Special,
the 87.000 Flash and the 318.000 Derby:
that Herman B'. Duryea (the Whitney
stable) has won the 316.000 Splnaway
and the 380,000 Hopeful: that Sydney
Paget has won the 310.000 United Statea
hotel stakes the most valuable races
of the meeting Is the best evidence
that Saratoga racing, ss it Is conducted
Just now. Is a. millionaire's game, pure
snd simple.
If the track Is to be successful the
men of moderate means must be given
a chance. The men behind Saratoga re
alise this, snd there ore likely to b
such changes In conditions for next
vear's stakes as will rectify this ten
dency to throw everything to the mil
lionaire owners.
Horsemen who have mslntalned their
own kitchens at the Saratoga track ar
much wrought up over the exorbitant
price of meat. It ha been the custom
rf horsemen to buy meat on credit and
.ttl when leaving. Woodford Clay waa
the first to aak for hi sccount. and
when a bill for 3251 was handed to him
he was knocked cold. He declared
It was excessive, and said he would not
pay, but the butcher was prepared for
him. He had a county ornciai on nana
ready to attach the horses of Clay, who.
rather than suffer Inconvenience, paid
up. The ssme butcher presented his
Mil to Enoch Wlahard. The latter
turned It oarer to John A. Drake, who
refused to settle, declaring, It was too
blah. An official with a writ or at
tachment shut Drake up temporarily, by
outline his horses under lock and Key
He will light the ce In court. Horse
men ar In an angry mood over the
butcher, who they say Is deliberately
bleeding them. In some Instances he
hna aaked as high as a dollar a pound
for his meats, and in the case of some
of the stables claims to hsve furnished
sn average of elfht pound of meat per
man per day.
DIAMOND GLISTENINGS
Bill Devereaux had a bad day at
third, having three miscues charged up
to him. One of Bill's errora proved
costlv. It was a bad throw in the nrst.
Bill Dunleavy and Klrby Drnnan had
busy times ;n the outfield, each of them
hnvlng tine chances.
Dannv Shea, the well known local boy
who has been a member of the local
team during the past two seasona, has
been signed by Parke Wilson.
Joe Raldy, the crack little shortstop
who played utility roles on the Browns
last season after the sdvent of Holllnga
worth. Is playing a stsr game on the
Ulon team of th New York Bute league
and la batting at a .812 clip. Raldy
would like to come to the coast again,
for ho likes this psrt Of the country,
especially Portland.
Dan Laliy. the new outfielder gtgned
by Portland, will probably play hi flrat
mane tomorrow In a Portland uniform.
JxtA who he Is to succeed in the regular
lineup Is not definitely known, although
the official announcer states that he is
to take Phil Nadeau's place.
TABS TO PLAT LAODO
On Sunday next at Twenty-fourth and
Vaughn streets the Portland lacrosse
team will play a match with th All
Oregon club at 3 o'clock. In this con
test many of the old stars will partici
pate and an exciting contest Is looked
for.

yesterday In th good time of 3:28 62;
Albert Corry of-' Chicago waa second,
and A. L. Newton of New York City was

This Is the first time that this

at dusk, after traversing 24 miles and
1,600 yards, over a moat difficult course.
Thirty-one of the 40 entered runner
started. Sixteen of th men were Amer
icans. The start was made at th
stadium at 3:08, the racers going fir
times around th stadium track before
taking to the cros country coura.
Hicks took the lead at the start, but
upon leaving the fair grounds was
paased by six of the racers. The route
of the run wss lined at different pointa
by spectators and newspaper men. Phy
sicians and the Judges rode along wher
ever possible In automobile. Long of
New York City got played out on the
way and enjoyed a three-mile spin In an
auto, and, as he reached the track first,
he was at once disqualified. Hicks
kept up a steady pace throughout and
dropped to a walk but one and that
for only a few minutes. Corry made
up loat ground In the home stretch and
finished second easily. Garcia of San
Francisco, one of the runners, was found
several hours sfter the race was finished
lying unconscious on the roadside. He
waa taken to the emergency hospjtal and

OLYMPIAN GAMES
IN THE EARLY DAYS
On account of the, great Interest be
ing manifested In the Olympian games
at the St Louis fair this week, a brief
history of the origin of the games may
be of Interest to Journal readers.
It was the custom of the Greeks to
hold a festival every' four years, which
they termed an Olympiad. These fes
tivals consisted of offerings to the
gods, music and athletic contests. They
date back long before 776 B. C, the year
the custom of reckoning time by Olym
piads begun, but It was at this time that
the Olympic games became a truly na
tional sport. N
There is very little data bearing on
the first Olympiads, and of course the
contests are somewhat a matter of con
jecture, but It can safely be said that at
first It was only th Peloponneslans that
resorted to the Olympic games, but from
time to time other Greek states were at
tracted by them and the festival became
Pan-Hellenic
It must be understood that for a long
time, only those of pure Hellente blood
were allowed to contend, but when the
Romans conqured the G reeks. ' they
sought and obtained the honor of par
ticipating In the games, for both Tiber-

These games were held at Olympus,
and at the eastern end there was laid
out in yielding sand, a level . course,
which wss called th stadium, and this
course was (00 Olympian feet (about
636 feet) In length, and for many years
the contests were foot races, in a
straight line alone the stadium.
In the fifteenth Olympiad, (he double
race waa added that Is, -the course to
th end of the stadium and back again
to the starting point to the original
stadium race; and In the sixteenth or
seventeenth Olympiad a 'longer race was
added In which th runners had to run
twelve times around the stadium.
In the eighteenth Olympiad the pen
tathlon waa added, a combination con-
teat consisting of running, Jumping,
disk throwing, spear throwing and
wrestling.
Five Olympiads later, boxing wss
added, snd In the twenty-fifth, pan
cratium s combination of boxing and
wrestling, was added; also chariot rac
ing. At first only men were allowed to
compete, but gradually boys were ad

riffle among the 'Hlngllsh boxing enthu
siasts. He had little trouble in annex
ing the scalp of the first man he met,
Private Casting, a heavyweight, who
was well thought of In London. The
champion' had the better of the argu
ment from the start and the result was
never in doubt. Peter sent his man to
the floor In the first round snd he wss
all but out. The next was a repetition
of th Initial one and th referee yelled
quits, giving Jackson the verdict. He
was loudly applauded. Jackson has four
fights on his hands on English soil, after
