SARATOGA. N. Y, Aug. 22.-After sew
eral disappointments Bud Fishers
Cartoonist finally won stake In the
metropolitan district in the Adiron-
dack Handicap here this afternoon
after beating a big list of high class
Juveniles in a gallop. Cartoonist, who
is by Celt. out of Honey Bee, has prob
ably been the unluckiest colt racing
around here. He is a good colt, but
in almost all Of his races he met with
interference and didn't get a chance
to show his worth. To-day he had
Clarence Hummer in the saddle and he
showed that he was real runner
Hummer got him away well and. es-
Gaping all interference, he rated him
along in fourth place until rounding the
turn. Then he moved into second place
behind H. H. Hewltt's Banter. who was
setting the pace and moving along at
a terrific clip. When well Strengthened
out in the homestretch Hummer went
to work on Cartoonist and at the final
furlong pole was in front. From then
to the judges Cartoonist merely galloped
to win by five lengths.
Harry F. Sinclair's Bud Lerner. the
colt which John e. Madden sold for
s35.000, closed with a rush in the final
furlong and got up in time to take the
second end of the purse. head in front
OF Mrs. Payne Whitney's Cherry Pie.
Banter slowed UP badly in the final run
and finished fourth.
Cartoonist covered the six furlong
route with ridiculous ease in 12.
Fator's Novice Ride.
While the Adirondack was the feature
and was worth $4,000 1t was the ride of
Laverne Fator on Harry +. Sinclair's
Lucky Antoine which caused most talk
at the track. Seldom has a jockey
ridden so badly as did Fator in this
race
A novice at a riding academy could
have done much better. He went away
from the barrier pulling mp held in
his mount twenty lengths off the pace
during the run down the back stretch
and put up one OF the weakest finishes
the oldest goers ever saw. Lucky An
tome is a handsome black maiden. by
Friar Rock. out of Belle Of Ormonde.
AS juvenile he didn't race. He has
started several times this season tut in
each of his efforts 1t was apparent to
the crowd that he was being educated.
In his last start last week, he could
have run much better IL Fator had
given him one Of his best rides. I. was
'wretched but the officials and the thou
sands of race goers who saw 1t over
looked 1t on the ground that Lucky An
toine was being educated.
But despite tho bad ride Lucky An
tome ran SO well he was made the fa-
vorite for today's event. Hundreds of
persons who wager only on favorites
bet on him and their money wasn't
worth nickel on the dollar. Tho colt
seemed as IL he wanted to run but un-
der such wretched riding the best he
could do was finish third, half a dozen
lengths behind Charles A. Stonehan's $
Flannel Shirt, which won by two
lengths. High Speed was second.
Lucky Antoine is a much better colt
than most race goers believe. He is a
stake horse and in his next start he
probably will beat any kind of field.
The fact that he Is a maiden and had
never finished In the money might
justify his recent races under the un-
written rule of racing. but the fact that
he finished third today makes 1t COM
pulsory on his part to do mis- best from
now on.
Fairwny's Nose Victory.
A. c. Bostwick's Fairway won the
third race in thrilling finish. At
the judges he was only an inch or two
ahead of Tufter. Fator rode him like
Johnny Lotus used to ride, and Buddy
Ensor put up a million dollar ride on
Tufter. The two were abreast but on
uneven strides for three eighths OF a
mile, first one and then the other
sticking his head in front. AS they
went by the judges Fairway was In
front. In the very next jump Tufter
was In front.
Willie Dugan's Leghorn beat small
field OF platers in the fifth race. Like
Fairway, he won by only a short head.
j. S. Cosden's Roulette gave him a
hard battle all the way and only a
sterling ride by Merimee earned him
the purse.
John Il. Madden's Harridan ran away
from q big field OF three-year-olds in
the final. She took command coming
out OF the back stretch and galloped
the remainder of the way. At the end
she was five lengths ahead of Mrs.
Payne Whitney's Gallantman. which
beat his stable mate Pirate Gold halt
length.
Samuel Ross's Toucana beat a big
field OF good juvenile fulies in the
opening event. She went TO the front
as soon as the barrier went up and
was neyar headad IN w hv tuo 10, ,xth.
