SARATOGA, Aug. l0.-In the morning
gallops, while the track was thronged
with trainers. checkers, owners, and
sightseers generally. pony came
! through one Of the gaps yesterday, fol-
! lowed by a colt that all soon recognized
as Irish Lad. He walked once around
! the track, then broke into canter and
made another circuit. The fact that he
was not asked to do anything fast was
IN 10 way a disappointment. 1t was
good enough 10 see him able TO move
without the slightest sign OF the trouble
that developed in the running Of the
Brighton Handicap.
1t will take some time yet 10 get him
down 10 racing form, but that he is i'm
proving fast Is a certainty, and his ham
dlers believe they will be abie 70 get him
TO the post again before the end Of the
season.
Shortly after Irish Lad had left the
track MCCheSney was brought out, and
he covered a mile and a furlong in 1:5j
and with something lett at the end. TINS
