WINNINGS CUT In HALF.
Keene's Horses Not Up to STANDARD
This Year.

SARATOGA, n. Y. August 3.-James r.
Keene's turf winnings this season will
not amount to more than half the sum
his horses won last year. They earned
$4,000 for him, which was a record
amount, not only for turf earnings in
this country. but in the world. This year
his horses have won $159,575.
Although Mr.. Keene is the leading win.
ming owner, he has many close rivals for
that honor. John E. Madden, with $685.
OU0 TO his credit. is gaining steadily on
the leader. The failure of the Wall street
magnate to win more money was due 20
the early collapse of Colin and Celt and
the failure of his two-year-olds to live up
to the great promise that they gave as
yearlings.
Up to Saturday not one of the colts
had won an important stake event Hell
met, Selectman and Turncoat were great
disappointments and their earnings were
small II was not until Hilarious won
the United States Hotel stakes, worth
S., 800 net. that the colt sprang into prom
inence as a bread winner. Whatever glory
and gold the younger division gave to the
stable was due to the FLIES Melisande
and Suffragette. They were the chief
winners outside of Colin and Ballot.
