SANF0RD HORSES AN IMPRESSIVE LOT. New York. July 21. — Thomas Healey. trainer of Richard T. Wilson. Jr.s. string, has returned from Saratoga, where he sjient a few days getting tilings shipshape about the Wilson stable. Olambala. winner of the Suburban, Commonwealth and Brighton handicaps, the pride of the Wilson barn and the hope of the president of the Saratoga Association in the coming Saratoga Handicap, was one of the horses Mr. Hi a ley sent to the springs under the care of James Howe.* The two-year-old, Naushon. winner of the Expectation at Gravesend. which is to carry the Wilson colors in the Saratoga Special, was another. Trainer Healey felt bound to go up to the springs and see that these famous racers were comfortably fixed. And while he was there he worked Olambala. Olambala and Naushon reached Saratoga safely, as did every other horse that has gone to the springs from these parts. The weather up-state lias been perfect. They have had hot si cll . to lie sure, but little humidity. Tin- Sauford horses, which arrived at Saratoga from Amsterdam considerably earlier this year than usual, are a prepossessing lot. Mr. Healey was struck with the aiqiearance of several of the t wu-vear-olds that he saw taking their w ork -satl on the track. Frank Nolans runners, which are quartered at the Albany turfmans admirably equipped stable outside the main enclosure, have not been at the springs as long as the Sauford horses, but already they are picking up. Mr. Healey predicts that Mr. Nolans runners will cut an iiu| ortant figure during the mee ting, which is to begin August 4. Sir John Johnson is getting ready for the Saratoga Handicap.
