Saratoga, y. y. Aug. 16.-Many who rode
home IN carriages yesterday from the track
found II beneficial TO splash through mile OF
mud on foot this afternoon. The defeat OF five
favorites in a row did much TO bring about this
discovery Some OF the more pessimistc are
already looking forward TO a sprightly sprint
over the lovely hills that skirt the Hudson River
and hope with fair start 10 reach the Palisades
in time to have bet down on the Futurity.
The disqualification OF the Speedway Stables

beginning OF the public undoing. 1t continued
without cessation until Burleigh, I'm the last

rolls that were fat enough 10 Withstand the vio-
lent process OF reduction 20 which they were sub

sneedway was disqualified for foul and the
race was given to Sufciency, but not until the
supporters OF the former had lined up TO toast
each other in the bubbling beverage that on
such occasions is often taken in preference to the
native vintage.
The downfall OF Maiden IN the next race-a
selling steeplechase over the short course-was
less sudden, but quite as ruinous- The ancient
1asssk gelding sened so much the best or the
six second class 'leppers" that faced the bar
rier with him tnat any price appeared generous
and the plungers accepted the short ones that
were offered with alaroity. Maiden, as Wen as
Paulaker, accepted a condition new 10 sueePie-

Maiden was ridden by Callahan and Paulaker
by Kelly. Balzac carrying the green and white
5acset OF Mr.. Cotton made all the pace. fol-
lowed by Maiden. Balzac is not famed for his
ability 10 stick and both the public and Gala
han shared the belief that he would come back
10 his field after the first mile had been run.
When that point in the race was reached. how
ever, there was only a scattered remnant OF
field TO come back 10.
Maiden had come a buster at a brush jump
opposite the grandstand. Decimo had refused

down. This left only Pious and Paulaker to be
disposed Of. and Balzae had no difficulty in
complshing IT.
Callahan lay as If dead. where he had fallen.
and before the ambulance arrived the report
had spread through the stands that the boy had
been killed instantly. He was taken away in
an unconscious condition 20 the local hospital.

The defeat Of Stroller in a selling race at one
and three-sixteenth miles by Saladin completed
the ruin. The distance was admittedly a little
far for the Ornament gelding. but the heavy
track was so much 10 his liking that the form
