SARATOGA SORRY
RACING SEASON
HAS TO CLOSE
Final Week Will Be Ush-
cred In with the Albany
Handicap.

Saratoga Springs, N. Y, Aug. 90
With only a week more Of racing to
regale the visitors at this resort ex-
pressions of regret that the season Is
so near it's close are heard everywhere.
Italian skies have prevailed and the
air has been deliciously cool except on
one or two days when the entire coun-
try sweltered.
A noteworthy feature Of the meeting
has been the phenomenal manner in
which the yearlngs offered by the vari-
Gus American and foreign breeders
have been absorbed at prices that
would have been regarded as sensa'
tional in any year. The fact that many
of the best of these Juveniles were
taken by men and women hitherto I'M
| known to, or at least not playing a
prominent part in the sport, is auspi-
cious and augurs well for the future
of the turf, which must have new blood.
Undoubtedly the most important hap
pening Of the LIST week, and one that
will affect the breeding interests OF
the United States to a great extent,
was the securing Of the ]. B. Joel and
Edmond Blanc yearlings by A. X. Ma
comber and Joseph Z. Widener, re-
spectively.
Successful Breeder.
Mr.. Joel has been the most success
( full of the English breeders for some
years, and the fact that most of the
youngsters secured are by Prince Pals-
tine, Polymelus and Sunstar is q guar
antee that their influence will be felt
| in this country.
Edmond Blanc occupies in France
similar position to that Of Mr.. Joel in
Great Britain, and fr. Widener was
fortunate enough to secure all OF the
yearlings in the padcocks of the dis
I tinguished French breeder. Many OF
them are by Ajax, the great son OF
Flying Fox, while others are by YER
wood, a highly tried sire and racehorse.
Were it net for the war, which has cur
tailed racing on the Continent, these
purchases would have been impossible.
This week will be ushered in. with
the Albany Handicap. at six furlongs,
( for two-year-olds, the feature Of the
card 1t has a guaranteed cash value
of 50 1000, and was inaugurated in 1901,
when it was won by Richard T. Wilson's
Divelne. Among this years eligibles
are the champion Campfire, Deer Trap,
Ivory Black, HOLSTER, Madeira, Trag-
4 edy, Ultimatum Harry Kelly, Berlin,
Bellringer and Hwfa.
To-morrow's card should be pro-
ductive Of good sport in the Huron
Handicap, of $4,000. for three-year-
olds,. at one mile and three-sixteenths.
This is another of the events inaugu-
rated in 1901, when the Whitney
regime was at its height, and it has
been won by such horses as Cock o
the Walk and Roamer, the latter hav-
ing 1913 pounds in the saddle. All the
good three-year-o of the current
year have been nominated, and If
Friar Rock and Spur alone go to the
post it should be horse race.

Wednesday Morning, October at 10
O'Clock. viii Sec Staging Of
Big Feature Of keo-
kuk Celebration
PRIZES AMOUNT TO $3.50
There VIII be Industrial Floats, In
dlviduai Automobiles and Fra
tenaI Organizations
In Limo.

Tho flower parade and industrial
float parade-features OF the big fall
celebration in iAeokuk-wfu be
staged on Wednesday,, October 4, at
10 O'Clock in the morning. The cele-
bration committee decided that this
would be the best time for the two
parades. and so informed Chairman
Charles S. Abel. 1t Is possible that
the flower feature can be repeated,
but the industrial float idea will be
given only once. on account Of the diff
ficulty of securing the trucks for
more than one appearance.
The big pageant will be one of the
features of the big free fall ceiebra-
ton and already details for the pa
rade have been planned by various in
dividuals, lodges and business houses
to enter floats in the big pageant, and
the parade promises to be the biggest
and most artistic ever seen in Keo-
kuk.
Prizes Amount to $50.
Prizes of $3.50 will be awarded to
the winners. The money will be d.
vided according to classes, it is un-
derstood. The parade will be run in
three sections. and there will be sew
eral bands In line. The big fire truck
will probably have the place Of honor
in the line. In order to show off the
fire fighting engine.
Those who expect to enter their
cars in the parade are asked, again,
to notify Chairman Abel at ance. The
parade is open to Individual car own
ers, to industrial houses and to the
fraternal organizations. The U. C..
It's, Elks, Maccabees and others in
the fraternal organizations are plan
ming floats. A number of individual
car owners have already entered their
cars and will decorate machines to the
best advantage.
If the parade Is as much of sue
cess as it is expected to be, and If it
is possible for the people to leave
their decorations on the car long
enough, the parade may be repeated
in some of its features, This Is not
a certainty, however, and people
should plan to see it on Wednesday,
when 1t will be given in its entirety.
