SARATOGA, Aug. 3.-Edward F. Simms
uncovered a three-year-old colt In the
last race on the track here this after
noon, which promises to- give good
account of himself in the rich stakes
to be decided later In the year. He is
Southern Cross. dark brown SON OF
Luke McLuke and Pamphyle. He n
a fine looking colt and he can run fast
and far. Bred by Jack Keene In Ken
lucky, he was sold as yearling to
Mr.. Simms at a sum reported to be
$4,000. When tried as yearling and
early as a two-year-old he was con-
sidered the best In the Simms Stable,
being faster than My Play, Lucky
Hour and Missionary. Just as he was
ready for the races last season he went
wrong and nothing was heard of him
until he trotted out for to-day's event.
At the post he acted a little green,
but when the barrier went up he
stepped to the front and before the first
furlong had been covered he was speed
ing along length in front of his field.
which was led by Samuel Riddles
Brocklesby. Just before rounding the
turn Schuttinger eased up Southern
Cross and Brocklesby raced to his
throat latch, and the pair then raced
as team for a sixteenth of a mile.
Then Schuttinger took back and al
lowed Brocklesby to set the pace. Just
before entering the homestretch South
ern Cross received free rein and he
virtually ended the race in a few Jumps.
He darted away from Brocklesby and
then galloped all through the home-s
stretch to win eased up by eight lengths
Although never urged to do his best,
Southern Cross covered tie one mile
route in the fast time of 1:3S.
Rectortown Breaks Right Leg.
Robert L. Gerry's Rectortown was
favorite at to In the race, and ran
well for a quarter of a mile. Then,
without any apparent reason, he broke
his front right leg and was destroyed.
A slight rain fell all afternoon. and
while the track was not heavy, 1t was
dull and greasy. Despite the inclement
weather a big crowd was present.
Bill Clancy's Hullabaloo won the SEN
cca Selling Stakes. the feature of the
card. 1t was a sprint at six furlongs.
Hullabaloo followed the pace set by K.
r. Bradley's Banker Brown until a fur
long from home, where he went to the
front and drew away to win in a gallop.
Harry Il. Sinclair's Billy Watts. which
had been badly outrun In the early
stages, finished with rush and took
the second end OF the purse. Richard
II. Wilson's Tangerine was third. Billy
Watts pulled up lame.
The West is meeting with fair share
OF success here. Its representatives have
won a race every day so far. This
afternoon Desha Breckenridge's Braed-
elbane beat good field in the Luzerne
Purse. He led all the way and with
standing a determined challenge in the
final furlong from Little Chief won by
half a length. Braedelbane is a nice
three-year-old colt by Jack Atlxin, but
there Is question IL he was the best
in the race.
Little Chief received a wretched ride
from Fator. The jockey got him away
none too well and when he did get him
going well he ran into a pocket and
was compelled to take back. Once he
started to ease up, he made n good
job of It and took back until he was
absolutely last and at least ten lengths
behind Bradelbane, who was setting a
fast pace. Entering the homestretch
Fator found an opening next to the
rail and rushed Little Chief through
it. In the run home Little Chief made
up more than half dozen lengths. but
hung in the last few strides.
Fator Threatened with Vacation.
Fator was severely criticized for his
ride and It was reportedA that Sam
Hildreth. his trainer. told him he will
have to improve or take a. vacation.
Fator has been riding inconsistency for
several weeks. Some of his work
seemed little less than criminal. At
other times he rode better than Sande.
Mrs. Walter III. Jeffords's Two Feath-
ers showed big Improvement over his
last race when ho beat home small
field of platers In the Pittsfield handi-
cap. He followed the pace until a fur
long from homo, when he went to the
front and in a driving finish won by
head from William Daniels Costigan.
Two Feathers was at 10 to ! and he
was heavily supported.
Harry +. Sinclair's Edct led bone a
big field OF cheap Juveniles In the OPEN
ing race. She led from start 10 finish
and won galloping half a dozen lengths
In front of Rustem at the end.
After her victory Sam Louis went
into the sales ring and bid her up from
s3.700 to $500. This was not enough.
for Sam Hlldreth retained her with an
additional So bid.
In the next race Sam L0uiss Halu
beat cheap band OF platers over the
mile route 1t was a claiming affair,
and after Haius victory there were sew
eral claims In for him. J. s. Ward and
Dave Leary. acting for the Rancocas
Stable, bid the same amount. and In the
draw Leary won. lie took Halu In re-
taliation for Louis's bidding up Edict.
Mack Garner. the little Western
jockey, Is making the Eastern stars of
the saddle look like apprentice boys. He
Is riding like a Trojan. Every time he
gets mount his horsemanship plays an
important part in the result. At Empire
City he rode DR.. Clark to victory In a
way that recalled the days of Johnny
LOTUS. He made no mistake with Dust
Flower In the flash, and to-day his ride
on Braedelbane was perfect And he is
clean rider. too. He does not revert 10
rough work of any kind and he keeps his
course throughout
