RICH FUTUR|TY
ENDS TURF SEASON
Crack Field of Two-Year. 0lds
for the Closing Days CIas-
sic at Saratoga.

SARATOGA, N. T.. August 22-The
present season OF the Saratoga Racing
Association has abounded in rich OFFER
ings for the two-year- olds. and with
the addition Of the Futurity OF the
Coney Island Jockey Club to the pro-
gram the meeting will be truly re-
markable one. The Futurity. which
will be decided August 81, will be
worth in the neighborhood Of S35.230,
presupposing that there will be fifteen
going to the post, which at this time
seems to be q very fair estimate OF the
field.
The Futurity closed in 1908 with o32
nominations. OF this number 2S4 were
void for various reasons. there were
$50 declared at different times and
there remain 90 that are still In the
eligible list. The best Of those are
now in Saratoga. and the Futurity. as
usual. will come pretty close to dectd-
ing the championship in the two-year-
old division.
Since the opening Of the season at
Saratoga there have been some changes
In the lineup Of the young racers. but
one has held her place consistently.
She is Bashti. the fast daughter OF
Adam and Disadvantages, who was
purchased by Harry Payne Whitney for
$40 900 Saturday. This filiy has only
started once at the meeting. when she
was an easy winner of the Spinaway,
the best illy stake offered. Besides
that stake she was only engaged in
the Kentucky. a selling stake, in which
she did not start. and the Wellesley
Handicap, which Is to be run Thursday
with these engagements II was impos-
sibIe for her to be tried out with the

Some of the Best Horses and

BALTIMORE. August 22.-There is
every prospect that the fall meeting Of
the Maryland United Hunts. which takes
place at Pimlico September /. and 3.

that the hunt club has ever given. The
closing down of the racing season In New
York will leave hundreds OF horses idle.

the opportunity to race at Pimlico.

tons for stable room that will tax the
!capacity of the barns. Some of those who
have asked for space are James Nc

The association will give a renewal OF
the army officers service race. which was
run with much success last spring and
repeated at Saratoga last Saturday. Some
OF the horses that ran in the Saratoga
race were shipped from Kansas and other
distant places and IL is likely that the

BY filibustering the Lewis faction kept

Before taking q vote on the substitute

LONDON, August II, 1910.
A manifesto has been issued to the peo-
pie OF Scotland urging them to siese the
present opportunity OF demanding q
measure of home rule.
The manifesto was issued by the newly
formed Scottish national committee, and
is signed by twenty-one liberal and la
Dor members OF parliament, representing
Scottish constituencies. The document
states:
THE settlement Of the constitutional
question will offer an opportunity for re-
organizing parliamentary business on a
basis Of devolution. Ireland's claim 10
self-government Is not likely to be over
looked; that of Scotland is, I'm its own
way, no less urgent. A policy OF devolu-
ton for Scottish affairs involves break
with the Anticipated procedure OF two
centuries. This procedure was imposed
upon us at the union, when Scotland was
practically delivered into the hands or
