PETER STERLING WILL RACE AT SARATOGA. Buffalo, N. Y., August 2. Thdre was good sport at Fort Erie today. Three favorites and two second holces won. The feature of the card was the steeplechase handicap over the short course for horses which have run and not won a steeplechase at tliis meeting. Trenct the Mere was much the best and won in a handy manner, but he pulled up lame. Amos Turney, Herman Flippen and G. Douglas will take their strings to Saratoga. Sam Parmer has arranged to send his three-year-old Peter Sterling along with this lot. Peter Sterling has shown himself to be easily the best horse racing on this circuit and if he retains his present, form he will more than hold his own with some of the crack colts of his age at the Spa. This morning Peter Sterling ran a mile in 1:30. This was his final trial for the Canadian Sportsmans Handicap to be ruu at Fort Erie Saturday. La Glorias victory in the fifth race today, when she ran the six furlongs in 1:12?, led to a change in ownership. The filly was entered for 1906.sh00 and when J. B. Dunn, owner of Governor Orman, bid her up to she was knocked down to him.
