SARATOGA, Aug. 23.,-One did not need to
look at his program to-day 10 realize that the
meeting here ends Tomorrow. The crowd.
while good. was made up almost entirely OF
visitors and those who cannot miss days
racing. no matter where or what. the con-
ditions. In the boxes and the club houses
the showing was better. Many OF the very
best friends of the sport have remained over
for the close, a loyalty that the management
must appreciate
A for the racing. II was fairlyIinterestng
and might have been enjoyable but for
mshap In the closing event. by which Tyron.
the favorite, was left at the post On form

high stool brigade showing q will nRness

At the post the colt was no worse than either
OF the three opposed 10 hint and when the
barrier sprang 1t looked as II he was straight
and ready for the break. but when he had
taken q stride he wheeled and threw Bulman.
ending, of course. his part OF the CONTEST.
No one blamed the starter. and few were
inclined to put the responsibility on the rider.
so reason was sought for the accident.
especially as some OF the reputsd wise ones
seemed to take chances As though they ex-
peoted something out Of the ordinary. The
nearest approach to an explanation was that
the colt did not run In blinkers 20 he usually
does. and when this was known there was q
lot Of complaint and from men that as rule
do not grumble. 1t 10 said that the change
was made with the consent Of the offcials.
1t would please the public II the stewards
would ask those responsible why the change
was made. ,
The stewards of the National Hunt and
Steeplechase Association met this afternoon
and among the Developments from the SEES
sion was an announcement that they had
revoked the license Of Jockey W. Kelly
who was suspended for an unsatisfactory
ride on Ruth's Rather on Aug. II. and the
same disposition had been made OF tenn
porary license granted Y. Porter. who rode
Charawind when he was 10 badly beaten.
Incidentally. II is said that NJ. Dansher. in
whose name Chara wind ran. Is boasting that
Porter's application was Endorsed by W.
Burch and two other prominent turfmen.
He also tells of petition seeking ciemency
for the jockey. which. he says. carries the
signature of p H. McCarren, Matt Allen and
W. P. Burch. Even admitting that these
men did sign in the riders behalf. 1t was done
before the race which the horse won. and
asked now to put their name to such paper
there Ia little chance that they would do so.
Edward Corrigan left for the West to-
night. Before going he mad long talk
with Mars Cassidy. Offering hin, the posi-
ton OF starter for the meeting that Is an
nounced for the coming winter at the City
Park track in New Orleans, Cassidy de-
clined TO complete the engagement without
consideration, which probably means that
