America should have similar al
fair, so the Ventnor City Chess Club
sponsored one. Full cooperation
on both occasions was given by the
Mayor of Ventnor City, and already
plans were made for the 1941 event.
Loss of the Municipal Pier no doubt
means cessation of the tournament,
for the outdoor affair was a pro-
motion stunt for the vacation resort.
From the 1910 tournament this
game was selected as the most ex-
citing and each player received a
prize. You name the opening cor
rectly and receive a gratis copy of
a chess magazine.

SARATOGA SPRINGS, N. Y,
Aug. 31.-Rain ruined Saratoga's
closing day program today, but
Warren Wright's Whirlaway won
the $4,000 Hopeful Stakes and stole
a march on the other contenders
for the 1910 juvenile championship
anyway.
Hitting the stretch far back in the
four-horse race, Whirlaway moved
up fast and scored by a length over
Mrs. Parker Corning's Attention to
win first money of $37, $50. The Cir
Gle M Ranchs Hy-Cop was third, six
lengths farther back.
Rain Upsets Form.
The winner, as usual, was away
from the barrier far back. w. E.
Boeing's Twinkippy took the lead
from the start and held it until the
stretch run, when Whirlaway and
Hy-Cop came fast. Attention moved
forward on the outside and got up to
win the place in the muddy going.
The rain, which caused the
scratching from the Hopeful of Al
fred Vanderbilt's New Yorld and w.
L. Branns Challedon from the mile
and three-quarters Saratoga Cup,
continued throughout the day and
generally upset form.
With Challedon out, the cup was
a walkover for William Woodward's s
entry of Fenelon, winner of the Trav-
ers here two weeks ago, and Isola-
ter, which finished second to Chal-
ledon in the Whitney earlier this
week.
Isolater by Half Length.
Stopping through the mud, Isola-
ter finally won the event by a half
length from his stablemate. For the
first mile, the two horses ran head
and head, but Isolater came on to
win in the final furlong.
In the days other feature, the
Saratoga SteeplechaSe Handicap, E.
B. Schley's Dolly's Love won by four
lengths from Tommy Hitchcock's
Oneechee. L. B. Mayors Ossabaw
was third, six lengths farther back
