By w. I. Macbeth

SARATOGA, Aug. 27.-A. H. Diaz's
Grayssian won the Adirondack Handr
cap at six furlongs, the feature of
to-day's card. The victory added $3,925
prize money to the Golfers of his owner
and gladdened the hearts Of the loyal
Cuban following that always boards
this good two:-yearold colt every time
he starts.
Kinnoul ,an added starter, finished
second and Harry Payne Whitneys
Sammy was placed third 1t looked
very much as if the judges erred in
picking the thoroughbred for show, as
R. I. Wilson, jr's. Round Robin, which
closed with great rush, seemed to
beat out Sammy for the honor by a
good long neck.
Grayssian, which was overlooked by
the supposedly sharp ones, ran a fine
commendahle time of 1:124-5. Kim
noul, which was heavily played, fur
nished most of the contention. King
Thrush, which was about evenly
favored with the added starter, never
had chance. This colt, which was
ridden by Johnny LOTUS was tangled
in the barrier and as good as left. He
brought the tape trailing twenty yards
behind him throughout the entire
race.
1t was probably just as we'll for
Grayssian that Round Robin got off
badly. This one was running over the
to take the overland Round Robin
made up some twenty or twenty-five
lengths and had plenty left at the
end. Grayssian, however, was very
good colt and came on in the stretch
to win like a thoroughbred.
Carmandale Sets Pace
Carmandale had all the early foot.
This one, with Fator in the saddle,
soon opened up a gap of several
lengths Kinnoul and Cinderella raced
together in pursuit up the backstretch
and half way round the bend. Kinnoul
shook off Cinderella coming into the
stretch, but about this time Nolan
made his bid with Grayssan. He came
to the outside, while Musgrave, with
Kinnoul, Rugged the rail all the way.
kinnoul, which is at his best in heavy
going, had little left to offset Grays-
slams challenge.
The third race at a mile fell to
j. R. SINNERS Midnight Son, l0-to-1
shot, which was overlooked The form
going the route. Kashmir was second
and Rifle third.
The fifth race was just a breeze for
the favorite, Slippery Elm. Wilson S
Wyoming, which was the contender,
beat off Buford, the only other starter,
by lengths for the place.
Sam Iildreth's two-year- chestnut
colt Dominique, which had not been out
in some weeks, won the opening dash
of five and half furiongs. He sprint
ed the distance in /: :04 As, only one
fifth of a second behind the track rec
ord, established by John Sanford's Tus-
formance was the more worthy Of the
two, for the track had been wet down
by drizzle just before the race.
Dominique Nearly Beaten
Though Dominique, which broke
away quickly, made every post a win
ming one, he was somewhat lucky to
last w. r. Goes Cleopatra was over
hauling the winner at every stride at
the end. Dominique hit the stretch
several lengths to the good. Fator's
finish with the colt was anything but a
strong one. In the last sixteenth he
did about everything but fall out of
the saddle. Captain Herschler finished
third.
Harry Payne Whitney's Wildair, which
opened favorte, raced head to head
with Cleopatra to the stretch turn,
where he tired. Dominique will be a
hard colt to beat from now on. He
needed just such race as this one to
tighten him.
The Greenfield Steeplechase Handi-
cap, at about two miles, was somewhat
of fivver. Only three were named
overnight, and one of these, King
Simon, was scratched. Robert Oliver
and Weldship were the only two to face
the starter. Robert Oliver, the favor
