ROCK SANDS GOOD CHARACTERISTICS. Saratoga. N. Y., August 17. John Whalen has not had a chance as yet to try out any of the Kock Sand colts he will train next season for August Belmont, and he is not sure there is a good one In the lot that fell to him when the juvenile division of the Belmont string was divided between him and Thomas Welsh at Shccpshcad Bay in June. He has seen better looking yearlings than the smartest of his Kock Sands. But there is one thing ho can say for them with deep satisfaction. They have good feet and legs and their tempers seem to be all right. Few of the sons and daughters of Hastings that have borne the colors of the chairman of the Jockey Club on American tracks these ten years have been able to boast of sound legs and feet, and an even smaller proportion have had good tempers.
