Only THREE FINISH
IN STEEPLECHASE
English TWo-Year-Old Ea-ns
His Brackets at End of Card
at Saratoga Springs.

Saratoga Springs. n. Y, Aug. 25.-
August Belmont's Friar Rock won the
Adirondack Handicap for two year-olds
in driving finish in a race that was
the feature of rather an ordinary card
offered by the Saratoga Association.
As matter of fact it cost the associa-
tion nothing, for the nominations and
the starting fees made up the $4,000
that was guaranteed.
This was not the only race that went
TO the chairman of the Jockey Club, for
in the opening six furlong dash his
three-year-old flly Fenmouse proved
best of smart lot of selling platers
and she had little trouble in leading
Andrew Miller's Bac to the finish by
ten lengths.
The steeplechase Of the day brought
out six starters, and only three fin
ished, with Thomas Hitchcock's Kehtoh
winner over Henry Lees Big Sandy and
W. F. Presgraee's Bryndown, mare
that has been leased by W. R. Coe.
owner of the Shoshone Stable. for the
running of the Piping Rock subscrip-
ton steeplechase next October.
Those that came to grief were Pc
beto. who unseated Tuckey at the thir-
teenth fence; Texas Star, who went
down with Haynes at the fourteenth.
and Archdale, who unseated Waugh at
the last fence.
An interesting incident of the run
ming was that Pebeto, after losing his
rider, continued the course without
mistake and then beat Kehtoh home by
a couple of lengths.
Friar Rock was ridden by Eddie Du-
gan N the Adirondack, and he had to
be a good colt TO win. Primero and
Achievement were the ones to make
the running, while the Belmont colt
was badly shuffied back and seemed I'M
able to keep up with the pace. Dugan
was forced to take him to the outside,
and while it cost him several lengths
he had the advantage of firmer foct-
ing. He did not catch Achievement
until well inside the last sixteenth.
and in a stirring finish he just beat
the Carman colt a neck, while Kilmer,
the colt that John Madden sold to w.
A. Prime, was only nose back of
Achievement, while T. c. McDowell's
Primero was Tapped on the pair of
them
The track was slow from a heavy
rainfall of last night, and along the
inner rail in the stretch it was partic-
ularly deep. This condition was re-
sponsible for the defeat of Menlo Park
in a mile race for platers. She was
leading in the stretch and plainly the
best, but was beaten home just be-
cause Duke of Dunbar finished where
the footing was firm.
Volant, the three-year-old that s.
Lewis purchased from Joseph +. Davis
earlier in the season, was winner of
the other mile selling affair. but was
more or less lucky to score. for Booker
Bill was best, but was weakly ridden
by Connolly At the end of the pro-
gramme Jefferson Livingstone's Eng
fish colt Polroma beat John Madden's
Smoothbore and three other maiden ju-
veniles.
Sam Lewis bought the two-year-old
FLY Edna Kenna from Max Hirsch to-
day.
Charlestonan, the four-yearold that
Joseph Marrone purchased from j. W.
Messervy, will be sent to DR.. McCul-
ly's farm and fired this fall.
w. J. Young will ship his string back
to Latonia tomorrow. In the shipment
will 60 J. W. Parrish's good two-year-
old Bulse.
The rule barring led ponies from
approaching the horses after race un-
til the jockeys are weighed out will
be enforced for the rest of the meet
ing.

morning. He was considered good
enough to be entered in all the cross
