Sale of the Track and Entries for
TODAY

SARATOGA, N. Y, Aug. 24.-The SEN
satlon here is the announced sale OF the
Saratoga raee-course and property to
syndicate, of whom W. ]. Arkell is the
leading spirit. The property has been
owned for number of years by the
Saratoga Racing association, but it was
an association in name only, for, since
Charles Reed disposed of his interest
three years .eagO, Albert Spencer has
been the sole proprietor. The terms of
transfer have not been made known,
but it is said the names of the gentle
men composing the syndicate will be
published in short time. The cur
rent seasons racing Will be contin-
ued and concluded under the pres
ent management, and the prop
erty Will be turned over to the
new owners October l. 1t is said the
men who now have the track will run it
in the interest of high-class racing, and
will put the course on a par with Mon
mouth Park and Sheepshead Bay. A
regular jockey club will be organized,
and as Saratoga draws its summer visit
ors from all over the country, it will
have a national character All the
present stakes will be continued, and
many new ones added. A club house
will be built at the track, and no ex-
pense will be spared to make it thor
Oughly complete in every particular.
Other improvements will be made, but
it is not yet fully decided what they
will be. 1t has been known for some
time that Mr.. Spencer desired to dis
pose of the track. and as it has been
paying investment for two or three
years past, he received number of
pliers, but Mr.. Spencer is staunch
Saratogian, and he refused to sell to
the property in manner that would be
detrimental to the village. Mr.. Spencer
retires absolutely from all connection
with the track, and racing here in the
future will be entirely disassocated
with the gambling at the Saratoga club
house, which was founded by John
Morrissey, ana has been owned by the
controlling elements In the Saratoga
race-course since his death. 1t is not de-
cided as yet whether Mr.. Arkell will
have the active management of the new
track or not, but if he does it will be
well for him to look after the interests
of the Western horse owners as closely
as Mr.. Wheatly has done. for they have
largely supplied the material for good
racing here for many years past. 1t is
also to be hoped that Mr.. Wheatly will
be retained as secretary, for it can truly
be said that he is the Nestor of racing
at Saratoga. and for twenty-seven years
be has served the Saratoga association
rs its secretary. Following are the en-
