SARATOGA, Aug. 10.-The programme
for the second week of the Saratoga As
sociation's August meeting is going to be

the Grand Union ranks next to the Great
Saratoga Special, the feature of today's
card In richness and Importance. All the
good two-year-olds in training now are

out trying for at this time of the year
The horses William c. Whitney, the Pres
ident of the Saratoga Association, expects
to see start are: William NJ. Barrick's
Mcdowell. August Belmont's Leonid, Ju-
nus Fleischmanns De Reszke, and Firing
Line, Jack Foilansbecs Legation, James
T. Haggin's Stranger, Francis r. Hitch

Pills Chiffon and Bonner, John Sanford's
Caughnawaea. Col James E. Peppers
WhIskey King and Dixieline and his own
colt, Goldsmith.
New York are familiar with all of these
colts and fllies except Yankee. Yankee
is the Hanover-Correction colt Mr. Mad
den paid S20,00J for at the Morris Young
yearling sale at the American Horse Ex-
change last summer. He is big bay colt
who was a bit wobbly on his ankles all
last winter Many shrewd turfmen who
saw him in his quarters at Churchill
Downs predicted that Madden would new
er be able to get him to the races. Mad
den would not have If he had put him in
training too early That, however is
what the astute KentucFzidn did not do.
Yankee lodged all his early dates while
his ankles were being doctored, and de-
ferred his debu, until yesterday. He came
out for the first time IN a maiden race at
five furlongs. and had pitted against him
a lot of highly tried colts and FLIES. The
ease with which he beat them demon
strated that he .ras colt of high class.
He loafed along in the ruck to the head
of the homestretch. while John Barley

made the pace. Then. under vigorous
ride. he strobe to the front ard won in
:R 20. very good time for slow track.
Madden has apparently got the better of
the weak ankles. for Yankee pulled up
perfectly sound and the colt that beats
him next Saturday will come pretty close
to getting the money.

The Kenner is the best Saratoga race
so far as distance goes for three-year-
ODDS exclusively. 1t is not. however, the
old-tinie Kenner. The present Saratoga
mana cement has reduced its distance
from one mile and half to one mile and
three furiongs. 1t will be worth 5000
altogether. and will attract The Parader,
Black Fox. Mortallo. The Rhymer. Vitel-

eligible. The Beverwyck Steeplechase,
which last year was a handicap at one
mile the fiat for three-year-olds and
over. is the best cross-country event on
the Saratoga calendar. Some of the first
class steeplechase horses in training are
eligible for it, and Walter Cleary. Lady
