Saratoga Association for the Improve
ment OF the Breed Of Horses
Grey Lag would appear competent TO
hold his own with the Western cracks
even with the penalties which he will
have to assume for his many victories
Westerners short time ago thought
that Black Servant would take the
measure OF Grey Lag In the Travers,
Miller or some OF the other stakes here.
Lately. however, the Rancocas repre-
sentative has shown form which would
warrant the belief that by the end Of
September he will be able to carry equal
weights with any horse in training and
win over any distance from a mile to
four miles. 1t is a pity that Man o. War
was retired last year. for races between
him and Grey Lag would have packed d
any course In this country to the gates.
The stable which Edward Bradley will
send to Saratoga to represent the West
is the strongest he has ever had. The
Alabama. with its value of $4,000. will
introduce the dainty English filly Bit
Of White to, the East, but Nancy Lee is
considered her equal. and with Prudery.

help ont, this stake ought to be worth
witnessing. The good filly Flambette,

conqueror of Bit of White. at disad-
vantage of five pounds is an absentee.
In the handicap division there is a
wealth of splendid material. and the
racing in which they will take part
should equal that of any in the history
OF the course. A few of the good ones
in the Saratoga and the Merchants AID

Saratoga Cup at mile and three-quar-

stayer on the course. 1t is regarded by
many as the most important race of the
meeting and the management is entitled
to the thanks of the breeders Of the

himself out of the championship. He
was UP at the sixth. but after that
some of his drives began to wander from
the straight and narrow path, with the
result that Lewis took four holes
straight. beginning with the seventh. A
hard battle developed from that point to
