She fail -d to run up to the fast trial she had shown trainer Odom and Bnlsbed seventh. William A. Pinkerlon. head of the detective agency which heals his name, will spend the month of Angus, at Saratoga. Mr. Pinkeiton has not been a freemen, visitor to the New York races this SCSI son but pinna to become a regular at the Spa. Sir Vivian. John E. Maddciis brothel to Sir Martin, which finished second to St. Isidore al Aqueduct on Tuesday, bears a strong resemblance to his illustrious relative. Sir Vivian also displays the rather -biggish but game style of running of the famous Sip .Martin. John K. Madden- chestnut colt Sir Vivian, by Ogdea lady Sterling, which ran second at Auue duct Tuesday, is a brother to Sir Martin, which Mr. Madden sold to Louis W inane, and which started favorite for the Bosom Derby f 1900. in which he was knocked down. He is supposed to be a good one. The excessively speedy but erratic two-year old colt Marcus, by Cicero St. Sava. won the New Coventry stakes at Newmarket. England, last Thursday. Figaro ran second and Crimper third. Thrace was the war substitute for Ascots rich Coventry siake-. one of the mo-t coveted of English stake races for two year-olds.

Strange to say, the heath-keepers announce ■ similar number of two-year-olds qualified to race in public since the hist Monday in June. Decided Interest will attach to the debut of Clanperbll] at Saratoga, if he is started there. This colt may have been the best two-year-old in England. At any rate he carried high weight. m m all of his races and in one of them, Figaro. one of the conceded stars of the year, ran nil -i placed. No English rvro year old of high-Class has ever before been brought to this reentry in time to admit of his being pitted against ,ur best. George Smith. Bnlse, Friar Bock and all th" r.-t of our best of this year- crop will he at Saratoga. The Association has an opportunity to arrange ti special race of great drawing power, in which these crack youngsters may measure strides with the stranger from the cradle of the thnjughbrud.
