latter tros three under the saddle Ii is understood that
Mr.. Jerome the owner Of Kentucky, has expressed a
Willingness TO make this match, and Mr.. Fossett on be
half OF Dexter is ready to conclude it for 900
1t would be an extraordinary event and would excite
great attention. Kentucky is in training. 1t is said
that he viii be al the Saratoga races in August next and
at all events will in the Autumn this vicinity.
Another topic of discussion for time has been tine
meeting IN August at saratoga Great sport anticipated
there. 1t IL known that larger number of stables and
horses VIII De theIe imam We're IN attendance al any OF
the courses near New Ck THIS season The horses which
were running at races In the West in May and June while
the meetings at Hoboken Jerome Park, and Paterson
were taking place, will be free In August and Is under
stood, that beside some already at Saratoga in this
vicinity which did not run here those OCCASIONS there
will be present large number from the West As the
racing Will extend over SIX days with three races day
traction for full Attendance Of horses ard brilliant
meeting is certain. In point Of time the meeting will con
fct with other, none other will anywhere till
late in september Saratoga seems destined To be place
of general rendezvous for horses and horsemeD at it's
Summer meeting.
II is to be hoped that all the matches above.named will
be made They would make this year memorable the
annals Of both racing and tr0tting.
As usual on Saturday, the Fashion Course marked

Simmons for his management of IL. The track in
