SARATOGA. N Y. Aug. 30.--Andrew
Miiler's bay colt Ticket to-day displayed
the speed which made him famous early
last year and ran of with the Cohoes
Handicap at the Saratoga track. Aided
by heavy track. to which he is ex-
tremely partial. and the light impost of
1o3 pounds. he defeated a quartet Of high
class horses, including willis Sharpe
kilmer's Exterminator. winner of this
years Kentucky Derby.
At the end of the one mile and quar-
ter journey Ticket was a length and a
half in front OF Mrs. James Arthur
Bondage. which took second place. ten
lengths ahead Of Exterminator. Ticket
fouled Giffard A. Cochran's Fairy Wand
and Bondage, but the stewards refused
TO change the result.
Fairy Wand set a terrific pace to the
home stretch. There she began to tire
and Bondage came up with a rush Soon
after Bondage challenged Ticket came
nying along from the rear. Mr.. Miller's
colt had the most speed and before the
hnal eighth pole was reached he was in
front. Once in command Jockey Schut-
finger shot Ticket from the centre OF
the track to the rail
In doing this Ticket bumped Fairy
Wand and shut off Bondage. Near the
rail Ticket sped through the mud at a
fast pace and when he passed the Judges
Schuttinger was standing up in the stir
rups trying to hold his charge in check.
After the race Rodriguez. who had the
mount on Bondage. lodged a complaint
of foul against the winner. but his pro-
test was in vain.
'Chase for Robin Goodfellow.
Robin Goodfellow. a chestnut gelding
belonsing to F. Ambrose Clark. won
the Saltwater Steeplechase. Freddie
Williams held him Off the pace for one
round of the course and then let him
go to the front. There the Jockey rated
Robin Goodfellow along at a steady pace.
followed closely by New Haven. When
the last obstacle was cleared Williams
went to work with his whip and opened
up gap Of five lengths. When within
few jumps of the finish line Williams
eased up his mount and earned the deci-
sion by length. New Haven was sec
ond and Lieut.. George Brooke 3d's
Eagle Thistle was third.
While at the post for the third race
Buddy" Ensor, the little Jockey who Is
under contract to p. A. Clark. was saw
aged by one OF the horses. Ensor had
the mount on Richard r. Wilson's This
tledon and one OF the other horses
grabbed him by the leg. Ensor shook
him OF by cracking him with the WHIP
The assistant starter did not see the
mixup and accused the jockey Of bad
behavior.
An argument followed and Mars Cas-
sidy. the starter. suspended Ensor for
the remainder of the meeting and threat
ened to put him down for ten days at
Belmont Park. The lad was discour-
aged and broken up over the punishment
and when Mr.. Cassidy learned Of the
cause OF the commotion at the post he
relented and withdrew the suspension.
Despite his trouble at the post E,nsor
rode great race. He got Thistledon
away from the post badly, but eradu-
ally made up the lost ground. until at
the final furlong pole he had Thistledon
In contending position.
There he found an opening between
Youneed and Bright Lights and rushed
his mount through 1t. This move saved
him several lengths and enabled Mr..
wilson's colt to get up in time to win
by three parts OF length. Bright
Lights finished second and Youneed was
third.
James Foden. trainer for the Triple
Springs Farm, sprang a good thing In
the fifth race 1t was star Ben, a colt
which has been disgracefully beaten sew
eral times during the meeting. To-day
he found the mud to his liking, and,
heavily backed, ran away from d quintet
of good platers.
