A BIG SURPRISE

DisappoiHts.

Saratoga. Aug. s.-Whether the sag.
! ing when they get 70 Saratoga they II
run 10 their true form is working out
or not, 10 is too early to say after oh'y
half a dozen days Of racing.
Nevertheless there have been more
than the usual number Of upsets tnab
always come when hcrses 90 70 new
track and meet strange company bu1
tbis time n Is not the Western con-
tinpent that has been working the
havoc; rather the under dog has been
doing the upsetting.
The two-y eaF-olds are a good case IN
point. The defeat Of James Buffers
Comeiy. which has been called, and noe
without reason, one Of the best two
year-olds Of the season, by kaskaskia
az Empire City wss a surprise. But "
was nothing compared TO the reversal
/ that came in the running Of the United
States Hotel Stakes on wednesday
/ last. when Captain +. B. Cassatts
/ Garbage beat the well named daughter
of isguise-Pretty Maiden by nod
after one of the most thrilling drives
/ down the stretch that has been seen az
this track in many year.
Grandstand Experts Fooled.
Few in the grandstand believed thas
/ Garbage could rise 70 the heights OIL
/ tbat race for at the meetings at Bel
mont Park and Aqueduct his races were
only fair. although he did show some
/ promise. and not little speed, in the
/ Grab Bag Handicap at Piping Rock.
] His victory over The Finn two days
before was not without honor, but was
tempered with not a little luck, as
Paris. the other Madden entry, and
horse of worth, fell. Now Captain
Cassatt thinks so we'll of this son OK
Aeronaut-Trash that he Is going 10
run him in the Futurity.
There has been a little feeling, ana
not without some cause, that Comely
would have won both of her last races
under stronger rides. Then, toe, tn,
Butler FLY gave away pounds ana
pounds by the scale to both kaskaskla
and Garbage.
Kaskaskia. too, has met with re-
verses. r. f. Carmsn's Lady baroary
may be short on looks. but she is long
on racing ability, and she demonstrated
this in no uncertain manner when she
took the measure of the big brown
daughter of Yankee-Kiameshs. And IN
doing it she took up l22 pounds, no
light impost for filly of her size.
Lady Barbary also has the Eastview
Stakes TO her credit, and with II the
honor of defeating Comely. 1t is inter
esting to note in passing that IN most
of her victories, among which are the
Great American, the Canarsie Selling,
the Eastvew and the United States
Hotel stakes, she was an added starter.
NeyIon Lands Winners.
Newton. the Jockey who made such a
name for nj self in the West and later
at Empiie City, rode his first winner
here in the daughter of Galveston and
Barbary Belle.
The ASPIRATIONS Of Senator Camden's
Like. which performed 80 well on the
= western tracks, received a severe jolt
4 this week. too, when he was beaten, and
i'm no uncertain manner, by both Char
ter Maid and Razzano in a five and a
half furlong dash. Whether he viii
make good the hopes of his owner later
in the meeting remains % be seen.
There evidently was some good rea-
son for the disappointing showing OF
the Western marvel. He was conceding
a lot of weight in his last race. How
ever, there was some talk that he had
gone sore since his arrival here, and
consequently had not been worked as
hard as might be. At any rate, he was
high in flesh. Still, it is evident that he
will have to improve a lot in order to
hold his own with some of the juveniles
that have been racing on the metropoli-
tan tracks.
Yet another surprise was the defeat
of R. ]. Mackenzie's Sea Shell by Dark
Flower, a Western horse. incidentally,
the riding of Martin played no small
mart in the victory. Sea She'll had a
long rest and evidently was not bene-
flied a great deal by it. Coquette, the
pride of the Brookside Stables, has yet
to show her worth here. She was ailing
a little toward the close of the Empire
City meeting and has been resting ever
since. -,
But in spite of the ups and downs
among the Juveniles and the hard lusk
that seems to dog the three-year-olds,
the sport has been Of the best.
Nevertheless, horses like Luke Nc
Luke, Roamer. Pennant and Old Rose
bud will be missed in this division.
While the first named two are not out
of the running, il is doubtful II they
will be worked many times during the
meeting. Luke's legs are not at their
best. and Goldsborough has yet TO find
out how. badly the lightning affected
Roamer.
Jimmy Rowe has hopes that he can
get last seasons Futurity winner back
into his old condition, but that VIII
take some time.
