CAPTAIN CASSATT AN ENTHUSIAST. Saratoga. N. V.. August 17. Captain E. B. Cas-satt. who has forsaken active service in the army, is now devoting most of his time to racing and breeding, lie is going in for the thoroughbred with something like the enthusiasm which distinguished his fathers pursuit of the sport when the names of A. J. Cassatt and David D. Withers were bywords on the turf. Mr. Cassatt has thirteen mares and one; stallion at Chesterbrook and he expects to enlarge his breeding establishment. His stallion is Aeronaut, an imported son of Ayrshire, which won many races at sprinting distances in the east a few seasons back. Aeronaut was not a great Iiorse. but he was a striking individual of high speed and good pedigree, according to British theories. He ought to get good horses from Captain Cassatts stoutly bred American mares that are full of the blood of The Bard.
