Saratoga, n. Y. Aug ls.-Bromo,
from the stable Of l.. s. Thompson,
was the winner of the Grab Bag Han
dicap in handy fashion this afternoon,
and his victory was so impressive that
he takes a prominent place among the
good Juveniles of the year. The Grab
Bag was the feature race offered D.
the Saratoga Association in cd
that was principally remarkable for
the size OF the fields.
Bromo is a son Of Broomstick and
Leayonara and is the personal prop
erty of Mr.. Thompson, and not one OF
the string that he leased early in the
season from Harry Payne Whitney.
Dominant, winner Of both the United
States Hotel Stakes and the Saratoga
Special, also had been named for the
Grab Bag, but Bromo proved we'll able

Foxhall p. Keene's Lorac was the
one to cut out the running with Rich

The second best race OF the after
noon was a mile handicap, and IL saw
Archibald Barklie's good four-year-old
Holiday rather a handy winner over
the Greentree Stables Virile and Rich
ard 7. Wilson's Montresor.
The steeplechase OF the afternoon
brought about most pronounced re-

was SO startling as TO occasion general
comment, but no questions were asked,
and il was intimated that the stew

an investigation in the two races.

1t is Senator Camden's inten-
ton TO leave his eight home-bred

and send the active division OF his
stable down 70 New York 20 race at
the Belmont Park meeting, returning
to Saratoga In time to ship the race
horses, as well a. the yearlings, back
to Kentucky, for the opening OF the
autumn racing season at Louisville.
Mr.. Camdens veteran trainer, Peter
WINNER. entertains a very high opln-
ion Of Saratoga as a summer homo
for yearlings. IL never is hot enough

total absence Of insect pests is an
other great advantage, while the Wa

it is near enough TO New York TO

When the L. s. Thompson COLI

James Rowe very closely resembles
his famous sire in everything but size.
