SARATOGA, Aug. 19.-Frankie Keoph.
veteran jockey and one of the leading
riders of the American turf, narrowly
escaped death to-day when his mount
Admiral c. T. Grayson's High Magic,
bolted through the fence shortly after
the start of the fifth race. Keogh
was badly shaken up and severely
bruised about the hips and shoulders
but was able to 60 to his town resi-
dence after an examination in the
associations hospital.
1t was found that no bones were
broken, but it was still very doubtful
last night whether Keogh would be able
to keep his engagements for two of
to-morrows big stakes.
The mbulance was kept busy all
day, as the injury to Keogh was the
fourth accident Of the day. Algardi
fell with Steeplechase Jockey A. Stretch
at the fourteenth jump of the steeple-
chase and rolled onto the boys legs
But he, too, was only slightly injured
Two stable boys fell while schooling
horses, but neither was seriously in
jured.
Tonight this peaceful town was
crowded with sport lovers of all the big
cities of the East, the multitude being
ATTRACTED by what should prove the
DNo. = %'>O ~ OS AN O1 tHe meet TO GATE.
Besides the Grand Union Hotel Stakes
of $4,000 for two -year-olds and the
$l2,500 Travers for three year-olds, the
beverwyck Steeplechase Handicap, one
OF the most important events for the
timber toppers, will be decided.
Furthermore, there is to be military
race at mile for army mounts ridden

Coltiletti Takes Honors
Friday in Saratoga is always the off
day OF the week, the calm before Satur-
days big storm. To-day's racing wasn't
such much, though everybody got
pretty much fair break on split
card in which three favorites won. f.
Coltiletti carried off the riding honors
of the day by scoring double. He
won the fourth race, the presumed
feature, with j. F. Coburn's Leather
face, and repeated with II. Acker's
Carmencita, the edison choice of the
fifth. Leatherface, by the way, ran a
very much improved race over his last
previous appearance under Clarence
Hummer He raced Scottish Chief into
SUBMISSION and came away at will to
the easiest sort of victory in the run
home through the stretch Arapahoe
closed stoutly for the place. Thimble,
which broke slowly, and which was
shuffled back at the start, made up a
lot of ground and in sensational fin
ish nosed Turnabout out of third
money.
The accident to Keogh in the fifth, a
dash of three quarters, was the direct
result Of poor break by High Magic.
The colt bolted under the lash, interior
ing with Bennington, which was knocked
completely out of his stride. AS High
Magic fell over the fence he carried
away q couple Of rods of the failing.
Carmencita, the 3 to favorite, was
much the best Of the field and won at
will, with Doughnut second and Radiola
third.
There was a disqualification in the
steeplechase which saved the associa-
tons money, MS it had to pay only first
and second purse money J. f. Wide
ner's Doublet. which finished second to
Mrs. F. A. Clarke's Candidate I'd, was
disqualified for fouling Amstello at the
very last fence
Bycrs Nearly Unseated
Doublet bumped Amstello so hard
that w. Mahoney was almost unseated.
Doublet ran a wonderful race after
stumbling at the water jump. D. Byers
was thrown on the horses neck, but
quickly recovered both seat and stir
rups and got right back into the argu-
ment Algardi was prominent until he
stumbled at the fourteenth fence, un-
seating his rider, B. Haynes
Fred Kinney, the favorite of the
opening dash at six furlongs, quit badly
after showing sensational early speed
and finished away back in the ruck
The race was won by Witchwork which
had been left at the post yesterday
Dolman took the place in a grand rush
after a slow start.
Jim Evans saddled a two-year-old
fil!y of rare speed in C. A. Cochran's
Polyantha which won the closing dash
at five furlongs. Polyantha was out
run easily by both Chewnk and Lizette
and had to race to the outside of both
at the home turn. Carried almost to
the middle of the track, the flly hung
on gamely under Fators masterful ride
and was going away at the end. Ii
zette beat Chewink for the place.
After winning the fourth race
Leatherface was claimed by Charles
Koehler for $2,925. c. A. Applegate
had in a claim for like amount, but
Mr.. Koehler won the draw In the
same race G. w. Forlan claimed Gath
