CHESTER KRUM TUMBLES
By ED CURLEY.

Saratoga, N. Y, Aug. 12.-Water Bios
som won the Alabama stakes this after
noon without drawing a long breath.
Water Blossom ran the first mile in
40 3-5 and the mile and furlons in
l :57 3-5. carrying 126 pounds. Water Bios
som would have Gu. down these figures
if the occasion had arisen. but as she
had no contention she had only to gallop
around the ring. Yesterday Miss Bios
som ran in a mile event, and with only
i'll pounds up, was disgracefully beaten
in the slow time Of l: AS 3-o. but there was
never better than 3 to 5 quoted against
her today.
La Hore was another runner that found
his speed this afternoon. He ran like
'Awkins 'oss in the final event. but two
days failed to display the speed that
brought home the bacon today.
Members of the steeplechase fraternity
and their friends wear crepe on their
arms, for Chester Krum tumbled in to-
days hike though the fields Chester was
real nice jumper before he did the
high and lofty. carrying many oank rolls
with him. Now he amt nothing. Dixon
Park tossed Haynes at the Liverpool.
but Haynes remounted and grabbed third
money.
To quiet all the worriment attending
the absence of James Butler from this
meeting Mr.. Butler wired today that he
will be here next Monday.
