SAxA-oGA S2El1sGs. July 23.-As the
Saratoga season draws near the impress
sion gains strength that the sport here
this year will be of extraordinary quail
ity. There are many reasons for this
belief. Chief among them is the number
of good two-year-olds just beginning to
show form, and the return to the turf
of Purchase, handicap horse OF such
prowess that he must be considered
factor In racing as long as he stands
training.
1t is such horses as Man o. War. Pur-
chase, Exterminator and Grey Lag that
keep interest in the thoroughbred alive.
Everybody with fondness for a good
horse wants to see such as these in
action against their kind. Those with
the means at their disposal to conduct
breeding studs yearn to produce horse
that can overcome his fellows In the
tests of the race course, and then give
posterity a son or daughter as good or
better than himself. When great beauty.

LIGHT WINDS MAR RACES
Grey Dawn Wins Race for the
80 FOoters and Nahma
Scores in Her Class.
BY ARTHUR f. ALDRIDGE.

Larchmont race week wound up with
regatta in which los yachts started.
The wind, which was light from east
southeast at the start. again failed, so
that the committee stopped all the
classes under 80 feet at the end of the
first round of the course. The larger
yachts were sent to Oak Neck and
Greenwich Point. They had windward
work on the first leg and had long,
tedious beat. Later the wind came
from the southwest. 1t freshened and
gave to the yachts close fetch home.
Harry Maxwell sailed the Spartan and
succeeded in getting home first. The
Istalena, sailed by her owner, George
NJ. Pynchon. who had Z. Walter Clark
Of Philadelphia on board, was second.
and the Grayling, with Commodore j. +.
Morgan and Commodore Ralph H. Ellis,
was third. These fifty footers sailed a
series of races for a prize donated by
Commodore Morgan, and this was won
by the Istalena.
Each class sailed for series prize.
but the winners cannot be accurately de-
tel mined until the regatta committee
has settled some protests and found that
all the rules have been complied with.
In few classes, however. the winners
are already known.
The Norwegian yacht Tamana, on
which II. L. Stone has been sailing, is
the winner In the second handicap
division, and Robin Hood, sailed by G.
+ Garland and e. Burton Hart, is the
winner in the third division.
In the series for the Victory class, for
which Commodore j. B. Ford offered
the prize, one unfortunate incident
niarred the race. Before the start the
Blu Jacket, sailed by Drake Sparkman.
was leading in the point score and
would win the prize If he could finish
in close company with the Buddy sailed
by Butler Whiting. Buddy to win had
to finish four places ahead of Blue
Jacket There is rule that q yacht
must not enter a restricted area until
her preparatory signal. Buddy was In
the area many minutes too soon and did
not go out when ordered to do so. The
committee then announced that Buddy's
time would not be taken. Buddy sailed
the course and finished first and Blue
| Jacket was in fifth place But for the
disqualification Buddy would have won
| the prize. Now Blue Jacket has scored
| tho most points.
