For Instance, the owner of | th* winning horse In the Saratoga Spe cial yesterday received about $18,500, while In the Great Trial at Sheeps- head Bay, f 20/>00 sent an first money, and In the recent Brighton Handicap old Captain "Sam" William* took down $20,099, after the late lamented Ram's Horn had come home on the bit.
