AFTERMATH OF SARATOGA MEETING Oral Layers Fail to Accumulate Anything Buck-board Benefited by Use of Knife. Saratoga, N. Y., September 5. As a general rule the layers failed to accumulate anything here. Some of them had snug balances on the. right side of the ledger until last Tuesday, when they were so hard hit that their profits were pretty well wiped out. They are still talking about the phenomenal success that a New Yorker named J. D. Goldsol has been enjoying at their expense. It is reported that this man, who has never before figured prominently, won the handsome sum of 3,000 on Tuesday, and that his profits on the meeting are more than double that amount. John Wnlters, a familiar club house figure, is said to be something like 00,000 loser on the meeting. This is a new experience for him, according to report. Cad Doggett is another club house operator who is credited with an unprofitable experience. The western contingent of owners, after having started off well, failed to make as good a showing during the latter half of the meeting as at the beginning. In fact during the last week of the meeting, the western horses cut practically no figure at all. Ral Parrs French colt Crimper is proving a rank disappointment. This horse, which was purchased last year for 0,500 on the strength of his good looks and fast private trials, has not won a race since the Pimlico meeting last spring. He trained off on being shipped to Canada at tlie close of the Maryland season and ran a series of disappointing races there and on the Long Island tracks, where he raced during the early part of the summer. Captain E. B. Cassatts Buckboard appears to have been benefited by the gelding process to which, he recently was subjected. He is a good-looking horse and his last two races indicate that he is improving. The chances are that he can beat better opposition than he has been meeting of late. He is a brother to the good sprinter Spring Board, which ran so many creditable races in Captain Cassatts colors a few. years back. Staying appears to be Buckboards forte.
