According to tho dates assigned to the various as-
sociations Saratoga will be forced 10 race
against Aqueduct, Brighton Beach. and Sleeps

clear days for the Spa. Should tho latter man.
agement decide to race. tho meeting would
probably wind up on Aug. 20. or one week
before the time allotted to them by the Jockey
Club. This move would DO made because OF tho
opening of the fall meeting ut Sheepshead Bay,
which Will begin on. Aug, % and continue until
sept. 10. IL Will thus DO seen that Saratoga
would conflict with Shcopshead Bay for a week
u It's meeting continued until Aug. %, which Is
cordinP to the programme, Brighton Beach will
have nineteen cloar days. A prominept member
of the Saratoga Association said yesterday that
he thought II the club received ten clear DAYS It
would be entirely satisfactory, but otherwise he
did not predict q brilliant meeting for the Spa.
At the rooms of tho association, 14O2 Broad

way to, California. Tho dates allotted have
been teleRraphed to him. President Kearney
Will leave for n trip through tho South to-day.
IL Is known that he 10 greatly disappointed with
tho dates, but he declined to discuss matters.
TIVE years ago the association. feeling piqued at
what was claimed poor treatment accorded TO It
by, the Jockey Club in tho matter of dates. do
of the move may occur this year. Last season
the association made u little money owing to
the fact that 1t had one week free from conflict
with any local track.
