Among the winners on the Speedway--west

Speedway Park had q very good representa-
tion yesterday. when the counter attractions

rain of Saturday night made the course
heavy and sticky. but one trip Of the harrows
let in the, air and light and the lower stretch
was ready for use. The sport was about
evenly divided between the trotters and the
PAGERS. but the greater part of the brushes
were mixed races and these are never as
satisfactory rs when each gait Is kept
separate.
1t was the bay PAGER Woods Boy, 2354.

When Dirigo later on was started against

The Inter was handicapped by heavy, high

held his own until a break near the finish cost
him all chance OF winning.
- The sport was IN full swing SWIM when Dr. John PM

In the warming spin DR.. Tuggle started be-
hind Caserone and tried TO overhaul her.
and II proved more OF a contract than lila

mares were started on even terms, and LA
was an easy winner n, Grunzfelder found
his big brown trotter Baron Brown so full Of
tro; that he decided to tackle Or. Tuggle
and his winning mare. 1t proved a pretty

and then, he made break that put him in
second place.
1t was at this time that j. A. Burke arrived
with the black trotter West Wilkes. 2l3i,.
Only Baron Brown gave West Wilkes battle,
and, while the big fellow had plenty Of speed
the loose. uncertain footing did not suit him
and he made losing break in each heat and
was beaten.
One Of the best brushes OF the morning
WAS between West Wilkes and Caserone;
rapidly. and before reaching the. finish he
had headed the PAGER and carried her to
break. The closing brush Of. the morning
WAS between West Wilkes and the chestnut

CBUCTANUNDA IN PLASTER CAST.
Famous Horse Breaks Down and Owner
Tries 20 Save His Life.

SARATOGA, Aug. s.-Ex-Congressman
John Sanford, one Of the owners Of Chucta-
nunda, who broke small bone In the right
fore pastern just as he finished working
an easy mile in 1851 this morning,
sent hurry call for DR. Shepherd
at Sheepshead Bay shortly before midnight
tonight 1t is feared that the horse may
have to be destroyed, and Mr.. Sanford and
his father, Gen. Stephen Sanford, want
to save the animal II possible for service
at their Hurricane farm at Amst erdam.
Immediately after the accident, two
veterinaries were summoned and the horse
was suspended in sling and the leg was
put in plaster cast. Chuctanunda ate
good breakfast and "A fair dinner, but late
in the afternoon he developed great ner-
vousness and seemed to be in great pain
He refused to eat anything for supper and
during the evening became almost wild
horse, so great was his suffering.
Mr.. Sanford said one of the veterinaries
in attendance appeared to feel sure that he
could save the horse, but the other was
not so certain and for that reason he had
sent for DR.. Sheppard to come by special
train. if by that means he could get to
Saratoga any quicker.
Chuctanunda Is years old, and on the
opening day of the Saratoga meeting, a
week ago tomorrow. he broke the track
record Of six furlongs, beating Leonora
Loring in 1'l2 is.
It was the intention Of the Sanfords to
send Chuctanunda to the farm this year
to join their other sires Potomac. Clifford
