Special Despatch to TIE NEW York HERALD
SARATOGA SPRINGS. n. Y, Aug. A.
Miss JOY, the sturdy Western Ally. con
tinued on her victorious way at the race
track here this afternoon. She ran like
a flying demon and made big band OF
top notch Juvenile fllies look like sc
many platers. She started in the Schuy-
lerville Stake, and won so impressively
that half dozen wealthy sportsmen
went in quest of her. Several offers
ranging from $4,000 to $4,000 We're
made for her, but Montford Jones, her
owner, turned all OF them down ano
said he wouldn't sell her for 100000.
To most race goers she Is the fastest
Ally that ever donned a racing plate
She didn't get away flying. as she did
In her last effort here. In fact. she was
third leaving the post. but before fifty
yards had been covered she was wing
ing along in front. Then she increased
her lead with every bound until six
teenth Of a mile from home. At tina,
point Garner looked over his shoulder
and, seeing his opponents staggering
along far in the rear. began to ease
her up.
But she continued to step onward a,
a fast pace, and at the end was an
easy winner. four lengths In front OF
K. Il. Whitney's Second Thoughts, the
speedy Ally which was the success OF
the Canadian circuit and reputed to be
one of the fastest young thoroughbreds

the best miss shown in New YORK this
season. staggered home in fourth place

Cynosure Of ALI Eyes.
Miss JOY was the cynosure of all ayes
in the paddock and was surrounded by
an admiring crowd while she was being
saddled. If she were taken into the
paddock unannounced the Kentucky
wonder would not attract unusual at
tention, as her ankles are punch fired
and she ha, a patch on her right hip
where the hair is off. Her coupling is
a little slack. but her powerful quarters
would recommend her to anybody look
ing for speed.
Cal Milan, who trains her. was asked
If she could run fast as yearling. He
said there was not anything extraordi-
nary about the daughter of Peter
Ounce at that age. Once she learned
the game. however, she came on rap.
idly Miss JOY was timed after she had
gone a sixteenth of n mile, quarter in
u 1-5 seconds and the three furlongs in
80 2-5 seconds. This is about the same
clip as she ran the other day in the
Flash Stakes. AS a speed marvel she l.;
unapproached by anything in the two
year-old ranks save Norwich. and If the
pair meet in the United States Hotel
Stakes on Saturday It will be a men,
orable exhibition of speed.

Statement by Nr. Wilson.
President r. T. Wilson of the Sara.
toga Association. issued the following
statement tonight on the rumor thai
there was a prospect Of transferring tho
current meeting to New York.
There is no foundation in fact for
the rumors that there Is to be any
change in our plans for the conduct
of our meeting, and we are at a loss
to understand how they came into
being.
1.-THE improvements made since the
closing of our gates last August are
an index to our policy. which has
been constructive from the day the
Saratoga Association for the Improve
Inent of the Breed of Horses assumed
control of this track. No expense
has been spared to bring the best
horses in training here, and 1t has
been our aim to furnish a track In
keeping with the quality of the horses
which come 70 us year after year
from all parts of the United States
and Canada.
1--WE trust that our friends will not
be deferred by these unfounded re-
ports, but will come to Saratoga as
formerly and share in the benefits Of
one of the best meetings we have
over had. The attendance has been
thus far quite up to the highest cx-
pectations and Is increasing daily,
and we have every reason TO he sat
isaed with conditions as thew exist
