FROM SARATOGA TO HAVRE DE GRACE Star Racers Going from New York to Take Part in Maryland Autumn Racing. Saratoga Springs, X. Y., August 30. Some of the metropolitan racing stables that have taken part in the highly successful Saratoga meeting, will ship to Belmont Park, for part, at least, of the coming autumn meeting of the Westchester Racing Association. But many will ship direct from Saratoga to Havre de Grace where, on September 11, the Harford Agricultural and Breeders Association will inaugurate the season of autumn racing in Mary-hind, with the running of the Old Bay Handicap and six other races. One of the strongest of the establishment!; that will ship from Saratoga to Havre de Grace is the stable Richard F. Carman and his son Richard F. Carman, Jr., are training for Wilfrid Viau, a Canadian sportsman and for themselves. The elder Carman will take one horse Omar Khayyam, to Belmont Park and Omar will be there for one race, the Lawrence lh:alization. Immediately after the running of the Realization, the winner of the Kentucky and Brooklyn Derbys and the Kenner and Travers Stakes will entrain for Havre de Grace, where he has several engagements of importance to fill. The particular race Omar Khayyams people are most desirous of winning is the Havre de Grace Handicap. Carman-Viau Horses to Havre de Grace. The horses of the Carman-Viau establishment, that will go from Saratoga to . Havre de Grace direct in charge of Carmau, fils, are the matured campaigners Startling, G. M. Miller, Nigel, King Baggot, Amalgamator, Skeerface and Westy Hogan, and the two-year-olds General Nivelle, Ideal, Duke of Connaught and Louise V. AVesty Hogan, for which Mr. Viau paid 0,000 at Youkers some weeks back, is, the Carmans believe, the best three-year-old in the country, barring Omar Khayyam. His forte is speed and he maintains it brilliantly up to a mile and an eighth. He has not been tried by the Carmans at a greater distance. Westy Hogan is in every stake to be decided at Havre de Grace, for which a three-year-old is eligible. He will be the Viau candidate in the Old Bay Handicap on the opening day and one of his opponents will be his stable companion, the reliable sprinter Startling, which will bear the silks of Mr. Carman. Since his last race at Saratoga Westy Hogan has worked seven-eighths of a mile in 1:26. Startling also is in tip-top condition. The other horses arc at the summit of their form. Michael Daly, who is training a public stable this year, will race at. Belmont. Park through the firjt j week of the Westchester Associations fall meet- ! ing and then ship to Havre do Grace. He wants a j week at Belmont Park because Flittergold, which -is in great form just now, likes the track, and Daly believes he can win a race. Flittergold is the property of G. A. Muller, of Philadelphia, who wants to sell him. Holiday and Fenmouse in Fine Fettle. Two other horses owned by Pennsylvania sportsmen in Dalys care are Holiday and Fen-mouse, the former being the property of Archibald Barklie and the latter the property of W. M. Jeffords, a nephew of Samuel D. Riddle, and a youug man who is spending money liberally in the hope of getting together a first-class string of runners of various ages. Mr. Jeffords purchased Fenmouse from Muller. Fenmouse and Holiday, like Flittergold. have been in fine fettle ever since the early part of the Saratoga meeting, and also, like Flittergold, they have been handicapped by the cuppy Saratoga going. The firm footing at Havre de Grace will suit them admirably. With the form of Flittergold, Fenmouse and Holiday, Philadelphia, Wilmington and Baltimore turf folk are familiar. All of them have won at Havre de Grace. Daly will take one of the most promising maiden fencers in the country to Havre do Grace in Cur-raghalecn. This horse is the property of James MacManus. He fences with the steadiness of a veteran and has a liberal endowment of both speed and courage. Curraghaleen is destiued to cut an important figure in Maryland steeplcchasiug this coming fall.
