MORNING TRIALS AT SARATOGA. Saratoga, N. Y., August 8. Visitors to the course during the early morning hours are more numerous here than at any of the tracks in the vicinity of New York City. This is natural because the local course is more easily reached and, again, the majority of those who are here for the season have the leisure as well as the inclination to watch the trials of the horses. Among the two-year-olds, De Mund and Horace E., in the stable of Paul J. and Roy As Ralney, arc the most talked of and the most highly regarded. Both are in excellent condition and both have worked fast. De Mund has shown five furlongs ltetter than 1:00 and he did it easily. He is to carry the Ralney colors In the Saratoga Special. Pete Coyne has George J. Longs filly Altuda as fit as a fiddle. Al Powell is ready to race to his best form. Tom Welsh is sending Adam along regularly, but it is not known that he intends to race the sou of Flying Fox, which was brought over for stud purposes by Frank C. Bishop. Charles Edward has a fancy for the Saratoga course and should be wortliy of serious consideration when trainer Joyner makes up his mind to start him. Dalvay has dickey legs, but they do not seem to be troubling him just now. Henry McDanlel is handling him carefully and he should win a race before the end of the meeting. John E. Madden hasnt told any one what his notions are aliout Hammeraway, but the colt is ready and should be remembered. Mohawk II. is ready for the Travers Stakes Saturday. Oaklawn has been going along satisfactorily. Trainer Joyner, however, has made no announcement as to when he Is to start. Kings Daughter, Toots Mook, Tiptoe, Vinton, Nemesis, Superman, Watergrass and Yankee Gun are all worth-remembering for the next time out.
