HOLLISTER OUTRUNS
FAST FIELD AT SPA
Beats Corn Tassel in the
HOosick Falls-First Victory
Of Meeting for Macomber.
spectaI Despntch TO Trr suS.

SARATOGA, Aug. 12.--For the flrst time
since the racemeeting began the colors
OF A. X. Macomber flashed home in front
this afternoon. They were carried to
victory In the Hooelck Falls Handicap by
HOLSTER, the four-year-old son Of Sun
Star and Our Lassie.
HOLSTER passed the Judges three parts
Of length In front Of Richard T. Will
son, Jr.'s, Corn Tassel, which took sec
ond honors by two lengths from Harry
Payne Whitney's Tumbler. The track
was dull. II not slow. from the recent
rains. and the time for the mile, 80 3-5,
was exceptionally good.
Corn Tassel ran great race and he
would have won with q more energetic
ride. Buddy Eneor had the mount on
Mr.. Wilson's colt and did not ride to In
structions As a result he was repri-
manded by his employer. Mr.. Healey
told tho Jockey to keep the colt close to
the pace and II necessary to use the
whip vigorously and frequently.
Ensor ignored that injunction. He
got Corn Tassel away from the barrier
in a bad position and then allowed him
to drop back more than a dozen lengths
II the run through the backstretch. Even
| while rounding tho turn the boy did not
show much energy. He kept a tight hold
~ the reins and kept them tight until
entering the homestretch.
A Garrison Too Late.
When he was more than half dozen
| lengths behind the leaders Ensor began
to ride like a Garrison. His move came
toe late. and although Corn Tassel was
| running over horses during the final fur
| long the best he could do was to reach
the heels OF Hollister.
Highland Lad set the pace during the
run down the backstretch. closely fol-
lowed by Lucky B., Tumbler and Hol-
lister. Rounding the turn Tumbler went
to the front and entered the stretch a
length ahead OF Hollister. When
Strengthened out for homo HOLSTER chal-
| lenged. but Mr.. Whitney's colt put up a
game fight and held command until near
tho sixteenth pole. There he faltered
and HOLSTER went past him. So did
Corn Tassel, and the best Tumbler could
do was to take the third end OF the
purse.
! The Seneca, the other stake event OF
the day. was won by James R. Skinner s
Sweepup H., a rank outsider. Lieut.
Raymond Belmonts Jyntee was second
and f. r. Bradley's Blue Paradise third
The victory of Sweep Up I'd was a
big surprise. He went to the post at Is
to !, but ran like a l to Is shot. Jockey
McAtee got him away from the barrier
| on his toes and sent him swinging along
at the head of the field at a fast pace
The colt was full of running and In
creased his lead with every bound UNI
| til a sixteenth OF rrile from home. At
that point McAtee looked around and
when he saw hts opponents staggering
along far in the rear he began to ease
up his mount. When he went across the
finish line he was length and halt
In front OF Jyntee.
Salmon Buys Shady.

year -olds. started the DAYS sport with a
big surprise. Willis Sharp Kilmer's
Mormon won by two lengths. with Willie
Knapp Juggling Justify on the reins &c
