BALLOT AGAIN IN TRAINING. Saratoga. N. Y.. August 24. — James Rowe declares Ballot is all right once more and that he will be readv to race again next year if Mr. Keene desires Ballot came out of the Saratoga Handicap with a badly swollen ankle. Mr. Rowe did not at tirst know what to make of the Voter horses condition. The swelling might have haea caused by the bowing of a tendon or It might have been the result of a kick. Inasmuch as It yielded quickly to applications of hot and cold water and iodine Mr. Rowe lias come to the conclusion that Ballot was kicked while at the |K st. Ballots tendons are as straight todav as thev ever were and the big chestnut does not show anv svmptom of lameness. letting him roady for the Blinlico fall B Hug or for a match raee* with Fitz Herbert at Churchill Downs in September would be no great stunt. Hilarious worked brilliantly .inst ltefore the Saratoga Association opened its gates, hut he threw out a splint some two weeks ago and trainer Rowe has not lieen able to race lilm. H is improbable that 1 • i the fleet son of Voter and Harpsichord will be seen under colors again this season.
