H. W. SAGE TO DISPOSE OF HIS STABLE. Saratoga, N. Y., August 17. Harry W. Sage is going away to France to assist in Red Cross work. He will leave Saratoga Saturday, and before he goes there will be a sale of his horses by the Fasig-Tipton Company tonight. Mr. Sage will sell at public auction Ormead, a brown gelding five years old, by Filigrane Miss Flelshmann, and Charles Francis, both good jumpers. Ormonds last winning race was at Aqueduct on July 11, when he -won a steeplechase race by fifteen lengths from a band of eleven other starters. Recently at Saratoga he finished second to Elect, defeating such good ones as Archdale, since a winner, Robert Oliver, another winner, and other good junipers. Charles Francis, a winner of ten races on the flat last year, has been schooling perfectly, and cross-country folk predict that he will more than make good in his first start through the field. Tim Donohue, who has had charge of the trainiiig of Mr. Sages timber toppers, has had Charles Francis schooling all this year since he first took the fences at Aiken, S. C.
