RECORDS SHATTERED

Fractions of a Second
OFF Sprint Marks.

SARATOGA. Aug 22.--Two more track
records were excelled at-ztAe famous
course here this afternoon. Tuscaloosa,
a two-year-old bay Ally owned by John
Sanford, sped Ave and a half furlongs
in the Schuylerville in the remarkable
time Of :0i 3-5. which Is two-ffths of a
second faster than the mark established
last week by Be Frank
In the Salem Handicap Lieut.. Ray
mond Belmonts chestnut Ally Jyntee
ran six furlongs in / 10 rs. This is
onAfifth of a second better than the fig-
ures w. r. Goes Polymelian hung up
here two weeks ago
The Schuylerville was the feature Of
the card. 1t was worth $1,000 and at
tracted the nomination of nearly 100
fillies. o. these eleven were named over
night to start and three. Passing Shower,
Lady Rosebud and Minuet. were with
drawn and Joyful and Blushing Beauty
were added. Every one Of the ten spir-
tied misses had host OF supporters,
but because Of her wonderful race be-
hind Be Frank last week Tuscaloosa was
made the favorite at 3 to 9. From the
instant the barrier was. released there
was no doubt about the result. George
Walls got Tuscaloosa away from the
ming along the rail at a terrific pace.
Around the bend she opened up a gap OF
two lengths, and although repeatedly
challenged in the home stretch she in
creased her lead with every bound.
Passing the Judges she was eight lengths
ahead OF w. r. Goes imported gray filly

honors.
Jyntee Runs Away From Field.

giving away considerable weight by the
scale to all her opponents she was the
favorite and heavily backed. clifford A.

also received heavy support and went
to the post second choice.
Jyntee had the most speed and quickly
went to the front. She. was followed
down the back stretch by F. r. Hitch
cocks Irene and Kathleen, with the
remainder of the field far in the rear
and lighting for clear sailing. While
making the turn Jyntee increased her
lead to two lengths and then every
stride brought her further away from
her opponents. At the end OF the jour-
ney she was half a dozen lengths ahead
of Viva America, which beat Fairy Wand

Although Jyntee ran record break
ing race and deserved the victory and
the record. majority of the racegoers
complained bitterly against Mr.. Cassidy
for placing Fairy Wand on the outside
OF the field Mr.. Cassidy knows the
mean disposition OF Mr.. Cochran's nlly
and probably changed her position to
protect the other horses from injury. but
a majority OF the crowd declared he
acted too quickly, that he should have
given her a chance TO break" before
sending her to the outfeld. As a result
Of her position Fairy Wand never had
a chance She was caught in a jam in
the back stretch and unable to get clear
sailing until an eight of a mile from
home. Then she ran faster. than any
horse in the race, but the best she could
do was to earn the short end OF the
purse.
Lyke Rides Poorly.
The riding OF Lawrence Lyke on VIII
gold in the last race aroused the ire OF
the spectators. The skilful lad rode like
a novice. wingold. which was the IA
yorite, was never a contender and fin
ished far in the ruck.
