GOOD COLTS ENTERED

Saratoga Springs, Aug. S.-The pro-
gram for the meeting of the Saratoga
Racing Association for the week end
ing Saturday, August IA, is one of
unusual attractions, chief of which
will be the Saratoga Special for 2
year-olds which is a characteristtcal-
ly sporting event, as the trophy
chief prize, for which the best 2-year-
olds will struggle. There are too few
races of This character offered at the
present time, and it is to be hoped
that with the rejuvenation of the sport
will come a number of such events as
this and the Astoria Dinner Stakes for
fillies which is always a feature OF
the spring meeting t Aqueduct.
Many good horses have won the Sar-
atoga Special, and in former days
when the fields were large the money
feature was not to be despised. BY
the conditions of the race the sub
scriber may name three horses by July
l, but he is not at liberty to start
more than one Some of the winners
in former years were Goldsmith. Irish
Lad Sysonby, Mohawk II. Saividere,
Colin, Sir Martin, Novelty, Roamer and
Regret, and there were many remark
ably closes finishes before the win
ner's number was hung up.
In the race next Saturday August
Belmont will undoubtedly be represented
by his best 2-year-old, Friar Rock, whose
form has been most consistent this year.
with the exception of one race at ia
maica when the track was heavy. James
Butler has a good colt eligible in Paddy
Whack, while Senator ]. n. Camden. OF
Kentucky. will place his dependence on
Marse Henry, named after the Venera-
BILE editor of the Louisville Courier
Journal Richard Carman's Achieve
ment. a stout son of Hastings. will prob
ably carry the colors of this New York
sportsman. Clifford A. Cochran has a
chance second in none with the brown
colt Air Man, very consistent per-
former.
The Elkwood stables will probably
start their crack flly Celandria, which
is equally at home in heavy or in fast
going. Mr.. Foxhall Keene has'two fleet
fillies in Lorac and Puss In Boots, from
which to make selection. Jefferson
Col. Vennie, a royalty bred English
youngster imported last fall, and win
ner already at this meeting.
The Shoshone stables may start their
recent purchase, White Hackle. for
which they gave $4,000 Il few days ago,
and he may be confidently expected to
perform better than on that occasion
when he appeared TO be trifie short OF
work. The Thompson stable has u tre-
mendous trio from which to make their
selection as their eligibles, including
Dominant. considered by many the best
2-year-old of the year; Thunderer, a
brother to Regret. and the recent En-
glish Importation Clapperbill. bought |
from A. J. Joyner at Newmarket for
81, 500.
President Wilson. of the Saratoga As |
will probably start his good
colt Ormesdale. one of the most con- |
sistent and best looking youngsters Of
the year. All in all. 1t is an excellent |
field, and the people of this district |
should see horse race quite in keeping |
with the traditions of this notable event. |
