THE STORY OF THE sAPLING
MI Withers did not encourage his friends TO back
the Faverdale colt for the sapling Stakes. He
told them thai the yOungstcr had been
doing poorly in his work of late,
and he thought that the Cadence colt,
which was started place OF the cyclone colt, would
outrln the Favcrdale colt This merely shows how
much may be mistaken in tho relative merits
Of two colts in his stable. Although the Faver-
dale colt did win he a good second and beat
the Cadence colt easily. The Cadence colt in
third Mr.. Withers thus got both second and third
places. Green Morriss colt Tipstaf got of in front
when the flag fell, and he had only 105 pounds UP
the I15 pounds Of the Faverdale colt he won some
what easily. 1t Is likely that the result will be
vcrSed when the two meet al even weight, yet some
shrewd turfmen have great admiration for Tip
staff, and already hail him the equal of French Park
~and the possible champion OF the two-yearolds do
not share this opinion. He is a Good-looking fellow
with great deal Of speed but am not inclined to
him with the best of the youngsters, In my
opinion Will he &c. place either in tho Junior
Champion the Futurty Stakes, If he is starter IN
either both. He lucky the Sapling, in getting
OF front and choosing his place in the track all
the way, while little Eilhe handled him with
judgment, keeping him along at steady pace, but
serving some of his speed to the finish.
Ganymede, Winfield Galop Bill Barnes Ransom and
Erie all had their partsans and admirers in
this race, but Of these did well.
The Favcrdale colt got off the middle of the ruck,
while the Cadence colt the absolute last when
the flag fell Next 10 last was Mr.. Haggin's Ransom
who has shown very fast time in his private work and
of whom much was expected But DonOhue proved
a Jonah TO the Haggn stable. He rode Ransom in
the saplng and Marsac In the second division of the
scud Stakes, in each case getting of slowly and
cumslly far behind the leaders. and making com

been in the worst Of luck for time. Ever since

consequence almost invariably gets bad start He

made him prominent among lightweight American

CHANCES AT THE OTHER RACES.
The third race was for the Raritan Stakes, already
commented on. Then the handicap at mile
and quarter for which all the four starters Monta
gu, Frank Ward, AIetinO and Ten Booker, were well
backed nearly equal quotations. Frank Ward and
Arctino raced in front for mile, when Arctino
dropped back. Then shauer brought up Monfagu,
vho crossed the line In desperate finish on even
terms with Frank Ward. The judges declared ii
dead heat and the two owners decided 10 divide the
money. It is probable that Montagu would have won
in a run off, although he giving more than twenty
pounds the regular weight schedule to Frank Ward
Galway however, thought II unwise to subject his
good three eaI-oM to test the
over again with seasoned old horse like Frank
Ward, who had light weight in the saddle.
1t was reported that the Codstream party had IN
