ExTERMINAToR TO RACE

ITOIu dIl phTtS VI LIES CouHtiJ dhu
Canada are already here and ready to
battle for the rich purses hung up by
the association.
And among the thousand thorough
breds here there are scores OF cham
pions and near champions. Extermina-
tor. willis Sharpe Kilmer's great cup
horse, and probably the greatest
thoroughbred that ever looked through
a bride; Whiskaway, Harry Payne
whitney's three-year-old, which twice
lowered the colors Of the once unbeaten
Norwich; Grey Lag, the four-year-old
and worthicst rival of Exterminator !;
Norwich, Pillory, Bunting, Kai-Sang and
Snob II.--these and many other truly
great and renowned horses are here,
All the good Juveniles that race on Long
Island are here. too, and a host Of others
that never started.
The thoroughbreds will compete for
somewhat more than 100000 through
the twenty-seven racing days OF August,
an average Of more than $4,000 day
Possibly the gross will be s425,000.
Thirty-four stakes--the Consolation 10
double event--wills total about $28O,0O0,
with normal fields competing. The over
night events will have an aggregate
value of about s130,000. The values
of the stakes probably will be heavily
Increased by the participation Of abnor-
mally strong fields.
Undoubtedly the biggest Improvement
"a regards the size of fields will be re-
allied in the special races for two-year-
olds and three-yearofs. 1t was among
the two year-olds and the three-year-
olds that influenza this spring wrought
greatest havoc. In consequence OF its
ravages the best two-year-olds and
three -year-olds of the country come to
Saratoga after upward Of three months
of racing In Maryland ami Kentucky
and about New York city. and after the
renewals of group of such stakes as
the Youthful, Juvenile, KAene Memorial,
Hudson Great American. fremont,
Whirl, Eastview, Harold. Clipsetta and
Cincinnati Trophy, the Kentucky Derby,
Preakness, Withers. Belmont, LAtonia
Derby, Kentucky Special. Dwyer and
Empire City Derby. with nothing that
looks like permanent champion in
either class.
May Decide Championship.
