RACERS WILL HAVE BUSY FALL SEASON There May Be Shortage of Material When Tracks in tho Throe Sections Conflict By Ed Cole ColeSaratoga Saratoga X Y August 10 Whether there will be a sufficient number of horses to go round during the fall season when the eastern Maryland and Ken ¬ tucky dates conflict is a question that is causing considerable speculation in turf circles here At the present lime there is a large number of racers in this section but some doubt exists as to what the situation will be when the division is made madeIt It is presumed the best of the selling platers will go to Maryland and Kentucky where the purses will be of more value than in the east while some of the stables splitThe will be split The stake offerings on the Xew York tracks will be an incentive for the larger and more fashionable stables to stay on the home ground and according to the applications already received for stable room by the various secretaries there will be no dearth of racing material in the Long Island district Secre ¬ tary Edwards of Jamaica has already had to ask owners to retrench having received applications for more horses than he call conveniently accommodate Several accommodateSeveral of the western owners have applied for room said he and wo will fix them up as good as possible It is probable that E II Bradley will race a few with us as he has asked for accommoda ¬ tions There are others also figuring on a campaign in the east that have heretofore devoted most of their time to Kentucky It is safe to say there will be no lack of horses to fill races at Jamaica Aque ¬ duct and Emnire City when the role is called calledIf If you sins going to root for me and Sun Briar kindly put in a word or two for a heavy track on Saturday when the Travers is to be run said Henry McDauiel If the elements are with us then Sun Briar will be a bear to beat but if the track is fast then his chances are minimized but there will be a horse race dont make any mistake about that The colt is keeping mighty fit and while Walter Jennings is set on winning the Travers with War Cloud he Vrill find Sun Briar with him all the way if I am not much mistaken
