-Four DAYS 81 racing are on tho card
this week as the Fourth Of July was
made special" Everything points 10
more good sport. too, and IL may be said
that the standard has been fairly high
since the opening Of the meeting on

seems TO exist as TO the future. but those
interested have little reason to worry II
those who 70 10 the track continue 10
observe the law so closely as they have
been doing in making wasers.
r. r. Wilson, president OF the Saratoga
Racing Association, tells me that the
meeting up the state i'm August promises
TO be quite as successful from a racing
point OF view as any ever held IN the
foothills of the Adirondacks Judging
from the application for stable room and
the entries made for the various stakes
there viii he more good horses on hand
than At Belmont PARK. Mr. Wilson has
been a good friend 10 racing, and It will
be satisfying " his efforts are crowned
with the success so we'll deserved
The race for tn National League pen
nant is so close that IL Is little wonder
that the fans" are taking such a lively
interest In baseball When the average
attendance at the Polo Grounds each day
last week was above 10000 persons the
owners OF the Giants need not worry
about dividends. Surely baseball is en-
joying its most prosperous year in this
city. which includes the Borough Of
Brooklyn.
