early meetings Oaklawn is beipg re-
served with religious care for his en-
gagement in the Saratoga Special He
may get one or two preparatory races
at Brighton Beach. His opponents in
the early months were far below the
class of horses running now, and those
races cannot be taken as proof that he
is of better class than q dozen others
who have had all their racing since
Oal1lawn went into retirement.
James r. keene still has his Com
Enando colts. Oyama. Nogi and Kuroki..
to uncover before it can be said that
the best of the two-year-olds have been
seen. OF this trio Oyama is believed TO
be the best, and his recent work has
been so good that an early appearance
may be expected, possibly in the early
days at Brighton Beach. If any one OF
the three is nearly as good as Com
mando was as a two-year-old the situa-
ton will be more complicated than ever
1t is good thing for racing that one
or two juveniles have not monopolized
all the rich stakes thus far To have
these princeiy prizes go from one stable
to another week after week encourages
small owners TO buy yearlIngs with a
fair prospect of being able to annex a
valuable stake Many of the good yearl-
ings that have been sold at Sheepshead
Bay during the past two weeks have
gone to owners who, in the past, have
ccntented themselves with the cheaper
grade.
Sam Hildreth, the man who trained
Security. the winner of the Great Trial,
the race in which Queen of Hearts came
r. rsof ~.
colt came nicely out of the race on Sat
urday in so far as his underpinning was
concerned, but a rash has broken out all
over his body. Hildreth believes it to
be recrudescence of a distemper which
affected his horses at Memphis last win
ter and spring The rash from which
Security Is suffering Is a common all
ment among race horses Most of them
have it at one time or another It does
no serious harm, but 1t bothers horses as
the itch bothers the pupils of a country
school, and keeps their minds off their
work.
That sprint races are by no means the
limit of Artfufs capabilities Is evident
ly the belief of Harry Payne Whitney
and John w Rogers. The speedy daugh-
ter of Hamburg and Martha H., who
has only been asked to go in sprint races
so far this season, has been entered in
the Saratoga Cup. the longest race to
be run during the midsummer meeting
at the Spa Artfurs entry was made
last Saturday at the supplementary
closing of entries, and Is evidence saff1-
cient that the stable connections have
other plans than relegating krtfuI to a
place with the short-distance runners
The Saratoga Cup is weight-for-age
race al one mile and six furlongs-
The four yearlings which Kid Mccoy
purchased from Milton Young recently
have arrived at Sheepshead Bay. Mccoy
Is gradually shaping his plans for an
extensive racing stable, though his COL
ors may not be seen for some time vet.
1t is said that Early Wright, who ham
dies the horses of c. E. Henshall, will
probably take charge Of the Mccoy sta
bic also.
Fred Wood will not take his string to
Saratoga, but during the meeting at the
fashionable Spa will visit his home in
Texas. returning here for the August
meeting at Sheepshead Bay In the
meantime he VIII leave his horses at
Brighton Beach.
\. &. Putnam has arrived here from
Latonia. He came in the interest of
Talbot Bros stable and has bespoken
stall room for il. The horses will be
shipped here just before the meeting
closes at Latonia. Among the string are
Estrada Palma, Prince Silverwings
Wainamoinen. ana. likely number of
youngsters.
Elmendorf yearlings, the property of
James b. Hagin, brought big prices The
highest i:-i"e was $500, paid by Harry
Payne Whitney for a chestnut colt by
asturtium-Hannetta Newton Ben
nington, A. j. Joyner and ]. j. Hyland
also secured yearlnss for big prices.
Fred Aver. the former GEORGETOWN
twirler. Jared poorly in his first game
with the Little Rock team In the South
