Okla., the brown mare Jane, 4, by Czar Searchlight by Kingston. Former jockey E. II. Garrison, acting for Ralph I. Earle, purchased the brown colt Saratoga, 4, by Ogdcu Unsightly, from I. M. Hedrick, Jr. - The stables of AV. M. Carter and R. O. Miller and the inactive divisions of the stables Max Hirsch and J. P. Mayberry are handling have gone to Saratoga. The imported two-year-old colt. Brother Jonathan, pulled up lame after winning the last race on Thursdays program, but it is lielieved his injury will prove; a trifling one. Samuel Lewis three-year-old bay colt. Murphy, which hit his hind leg a little below the point of his hock in his winning race for the Union Selling Stakes at Aiieduct, and lias been laid up ever since, is now about ready to go into active training again. Grant Hugh Browne of New Aork. bought the six-year-old horse Fair Mac, by Uncle Mac- - Fair Lily, just before the recent Bahloyle. Ireland meeting, and won tin; Dublin Plate with him. The distance was a mile and seven-eighths and eight horses ran, including Rallaglitohiu. P.ooks for the Saratoga Springs meeting, which begins July 31 and continues until August 20, wen? distributed among the horsemen at the Yon-kers track Saturday. During the meeting twenty-nine stakes will be decided, and they have attracted the best horses from east and west. James Butler has purchased second call on the rising apprentice Hugh Shilling for the remainder of the Empire City meeting and the full meeting at Saratoga Springs. This youngster has been riding in good form of late, and first call on his services is held by Mrs. J. Shilling. It was told about the Empire City track Friday morning that Reamer had been slightly shocked by lightning Thursday afternoon, but trainer Golds-borough corrected the statement. He said that the fast gelding had been somewhat frightened by the storm, but that he had suffered from nothing more than temporary fright. Frank Regan reports that the Cleveland Stables three-year-old gelding AVhimsy is showing material improvement. "His injury is not as bad as we supposed at first," lie said, "and as the swelling is going from the hip down into the leg, it may be a long time before we can hope to have hini in active training again." , I doubt very much if ever such a remarkable occurrence can be recalled in the history of racing as that which happened at Newmarket on Thursday, when six out of the seven races in the afternoons programme were won by horses which were previously maidens, and also in each instance bred by their respective owners. Horse and Hound, June 24.
