White Hackle Handily

Heffner have run in several instances,
they have not found sufficient proof OF
fraud to revoke his license, and there
fore discontinue the suspension OF
same"
Fifty Of the delegates TO the Con-
stitutional Convention will be guests OF
the Saratoga association and witness
the racing on Saturday.
Mortimer L. Schiff has purchased
four year-old FLY by Meharib-Flat-
lands from Howard Lewis, and she will
race for him. She has never been
started, but has schooled exceedingly
well.
Broomstick- Smith, that was pur-
the stud, is back in training.
John Sanford has bought at the New
market auction sales the fve-year-old
horse The Curragh, by Spearmint-
Curragheny, for 1900 guineas. This
horse should be decided acquisition
to the breeding interests Of the United
States. The Curragh was particu-
larly good horse in training, and among
his victories were the Kempton Park
Jubilee and the Princess of Wales, as
well as other important fixtures. He
has been shipped on the Minnehaha, OF
the Atlantic Transport Line.
At meeting of the executive COM
mittee Of the National Steeplechase and
Hunt Association the following gentle
men were granted licenses to ride:
Emil Schoerer, David Bispham, A. VI.
Porter, E. NJ. Whiting and E. Cheston;
trainers, r. l. Miller, J. P. Yarnell, T.
j. Lennahan and Harry Lee; jockeys,
E. Krause, G.. Palmer, F. Moore, J. Will
Jams, W. Howard, VI. Cragin, G. Glenn
ent and T. Gaskins.
j. W. Parrish. the owner OF Buls.,
which was so well beaten in the run
ming of the United States Hotel Stakes,
will have little trouble arranging a
sweepstake for the colt Edward Nc
/ Bride, the owner of George Smith, said
that he would be glad to go into such
a sweepstake and that he did not care
whether the track was fast or heavy.
It is also probable that James Rowe
will be induced to send L. s. Thomp-
sons Dominant, winner Of the United
I States
In fact, the general opinion prevails
that George Smith has more TO fear
| from Dominant than from Bulse, de-
spite the fact that the son of Delhi
/ DOminoes carried only 107 pounds in
! the United States. White Hackle,
which is now in the Shoshone Stable
under the care OF Jerry Carroll, is an
other that might easily be induced to
start in such special event. 1t will
be remembered that the proposition
made by Mr.. Parrish was a six-furlong
dash, all to carry 118 pounds and to
race six furlongs.
All of these are engaged in the San
/ ford Memorial, also a six-furlong dash,
/ to be run on Saturday, and Mcbride
! has said that George Smith will be a
/ starter. The colt worked six furlongs
very handily in 1:l4 in company with
Tom Edward in preparation for the
| stake, and it is not the intention to
dodge any of the juveniles with him.
| OF course, the conditions of the San
ford Memorial would not have the same
/ testing effect that would come with
special sweepstakes, for the colts
! would not meet under equal weights.
J. L. McGinniss is eager for a special
! between 7. j. O'Brien's Sam Jackson
and Andrew Miller's Roamer, and he
! has made many a concession to have a
try with the little son of Knight Err
| rant The conditions he proposes are
weight for age at one mile and fur
long, and he has agreed that the track
should be fast.
| This would mean that each horse
would take up 1913 pounds, while it is
a well established fact that should the
weights be ranged by W. S. Vosburgh
/ the four-year-old would have to give
/ away something TO the old son of Garry
! Hermann. Another spot in which Me-
/ Ginniss is willing to take the worst Of
/ it is in the matter of distance. A mile
and a quarter would be much more to
the liking of Sam Jackson in spite Of
his remarkably fast mile at Aqueduct,
when he stepped in 1886 As.
F. Ambrose Clark, who has been
down with a serious attack of typhoid
fever at his farm at COoperstown, n.
Y, is well again and promises TO be
/ in Saratoga 70 see the running Of the
North American Steeplechase, the Trav-
ers and the Sanford Memorial Satur-
day.
Thomas Hitchcock's good jumper
Kintore has gone amiss and has been
turned out at Westbury, Long Island.
