GOSSIP OF The RACETRACK
STABLE PLANS REGARDING BEAU-
corr UPSET.



SARATOGA. Aug. 2s.--The racing here In
holding up better than the attendance. To-
day. with big gaps in the grand stand and other
enclosures. the six events brought some in
tcresting sport, with a smatt tering OF class
IN two OF them. The Adirondack Handicap.
for two-y year-olds. which had a guaranteed
value Of 90. 600, was the feature OF the after
noon. and while IL failed to bring out the
sort of field IL would have earlier in the
meeting. IL was made interesting by the start
ing OF X. I. Wilson'S Beaucoup. who is to
start in the Futurity
There was n second string TO Mr.. Wilson's
bid to-day in Faloada, and a declaration
was made TO win with the last named, the
intention evidently being to keep beaucoup
a maiden. The stable ran first and second
hut plans miscarried. as the Futurtty oandi-
date was compelled 20 win. He was sent
10 the front from the start to make the run
ming and this he had no difficulty in doing.
furlong from the finish Faloeda started
IN move up and IL looked as II the carefully
arranged plans would go through. but Full
tonville held on in a way that bespoke DANCE
and Dugan did a sensible thing with Beau
Coup--went and won. But his margin
was only q head, with Falcada scsnt half
a length In front Of Fultonvtlle. The latter
was pinned on the rail for a sixteenth and
seriously hindered by the position he held
the loss Of Beauaoupis maiden allowance.
Charles Edward will go back to Sleeps
head Bay far from the champion he was
when he came here. He started In a mile
handicap and was well supported by many
who count as clever judges. but he trailed
home last. long behind the field. He looks
poor and ran even worse than he looked.
He must have lost hundred pounds or more
during his stay here.
The stewards have about finished their
probing for evidence that might explain
some OF the riding of Jockey Mount ain be-
fore he was dropped by his employer and
horsemen generally. In the search they
found one thing that looked bad. and n promi-
nent layer was called on for an explanation
His sheet showed he had laid heavily against
Okenite the day he was ridden by Mount ain,
but he explained this with a statement that
81 500 Of the money he took in was for another
person.
This exonerated him. and il looks now
a. N Mount ain will he permitted TO resume
riding after heart 20 heart talk and caution
to be a little more consistent in the future.
The name Of the individual who laid against
the colt as been mentioned In similar cases,
but somehow he goes his way unmolested.
+, u. Smathers to-day purchased from
=. A. Forsythe the three-year- old Rio Grande
and from the Oneck Stable the two-year-old
,lsvotte, a sister to Black Fox. Jersey Lady,
TOO. was transferred to him. but this deal
may be declared of. as there has been some
question as to the real ownership OF the filly
and ii is understood that her entry was ordered
refused by the stewards OF the meeting.
W. o. Joslin will train for Smathers. He
will ship to Montreal tomorrow night.
koerner will go on to do the riding. This
seems to mean that the boy has been re-
leased by Harry Payne Whitney.

siling when brought here. improved some
and began eallopinR. then went lame. An
EFFORT will be made to get her ready for the
Beetles Stakes. which will be run at Sleeps
head Bay on September n.
Thomas Hitchcock, Jr., to-day got some
consolation for the hard luck that has been
coming his way lately. Garrett, carrying his
colors. won the steeplechase. and between
races Bayonet. whom Hitchcock purchased
from y. Ambrose Clark about a month ago,
was worked mile ana quarter in 2Io s-5,
a pretty shifty move for jumper or for any
sort of a horse.
Beacon Light was another to have a work.

under MillerIs plotting and he covered a mile
and furlong in l;54 lis. He is probably
being pointed for the Twin City Handicap.
which will be run next Monday. This colt
Is at his best just now.
Each day brings more talk of a dissolution
Of the Newcastle Stable All interested admit
Z hat the entire list in training will be offered
and that several of the lot will be bought in
but from a reliable source comes a tale that
when the buying-in comes the partnership
will not be the same as az present.
The stewards deny positively that they are
stigating the riding Of Jockey Beckman.
The boys riding in some races has been far
from satisfactory.
