Exodus Proves
Glass i'm Star
Event at Spa
Captures the Adirondack
Handicap in Easy Manner
From Abbreviated Field

SARATOGA. N. Y, Aug. 25.-Harry
Payne Whitney's good -year-old
colt, Exodus, an added starter, won
the Adirondack handicap of $4,000
guaranteed, a three-quarter sprint,
which was the feature of to-day's rae
ing program at the Saratoga track.
The victory was not only exceptionally
Impressive, but exceedingly popular,
as Exodus was the odds on choice and
winning favoritcs, by and large,
seemed somewhat hard 20 locate
Exodus proved himself a high class
colt, one that may have lot to say
in the Hopeful and the Futurity. De-
spite one bad race, which was so
chiefly because Of weak handling by
Ambrose, it had been suspected for
some time that Jimmy Rowe had in
Exodus quite as promising a prospect
as the unbeaten Tryster. This fact
Exodus proved in the manner of his
winning this afternoon. Ambrose had
HIM we'll in hand every yard of the
journey and had the colt in lap
through the final furlong, but still un-
der wraps. Exodus galloped the three
quarters in I'll 45-only l 2-5 sec
onds away from the track record. and
but two-hfths seconds lower than the
record for the stack which W. NJ
Jeffords Routledge established two
years ago at III.
Not only did Exodus win with
ridiculous ease, but he proved him
self real thoroughbred by toting his
120 impost as if it had been a feather
For many reasons the race itself was
keen disappointment. Five of the
original eight named over night were
scratched so that with the added
starter only four went to the post.

Jeg Favored by Many
J. f. Grifhth's Jeg was fanced by
many of the wise ones to take the
furlongs in SO fat in preparation for
this afternoon's affair. Whether or not

future time. He was a mighty fine sec
ond and was running strongly at the
end after he got off poorly and was
quickly bumped away back into the
ruck However, Exodus which was
never let down, would probably have
made Jeg do some record breaking
sprinting to beat him. Exodus and
Jeg were the class of this race Que
creek, which finished third, and Dry
Moon were both beaten of as far as
you can throw a stone.
The only other winning favorite of
the afternoon developed in the steeple-
chase, which was won by Crest Hill.
He was pounds the best and led prac-
tlcally every inch of the way under
triple wraps.
Ralco, an outsider, took the FIRST race
at seven furlongs, outgaming Ina
Frank, the early pacenlaker and second
choice, in duel through the stretch.
Charles A. Stoneham's Sammy Kelly,
another outsider, finished third to the
great satisfaction of the owner of the
Giants, who was here to back his colors
in the third slot. Hendrie, the favor
ite, ran very sour.
