DEMPSEYSARATOGA SARATOGA SPRINGS N Y August 6 The Albany Handicap with a guaranteed value of 3000 of which the winner received 2350 net featured todays card and was contested by some good two yearolds with the winner turning up in Kinuonl a slashing chestnut son of Peter Quince Lychee Nut carrying the colors of Walter M Jeffords aftera wellsustained stretch drive to beatKallipolis and Paul Jones There were eleven starters in the dash Polysanda being an eleventh hour addition from the P A Clark stable Kinnoul was at all times the favored one in the race and showed the most speed from the start and was pressed hard at intervals by Paul Connelly and Kalllpolis but near the end was going as fast and steadily as his rivals and retained a scant two lengths lead to the finish finishRain Rain began at an early hour and a steady drizzle confronted tha racing enthusiasts thrpughont the afternoon Track conditions favored those with a penchant for muddy going But the big throng were well versed in the merits of these performers for they were uncommonly successful in picking winners favorites succeeding in most instances instancesThere There was a falling off in attendance as was to be expected but at that a surprisingly large assem ¬ blage viewed the sport Some of the contests were enjoyable the winners in some instances being in doubt until right at the end endThe The award of the purse to Herodias over Fruit Cake in the thiijd race was not well received by n majority of the onlookers who were of the opinion that the Macomber mare had succeeded in passing the Coe filly by a good neck Fruit Cake was an overwhelming favorite and backed witli confidence but she was laboring from the start ahij Kummer had to ride her vigorously to keep within hailing distance of The Tetrarchs gray daughter The latter displayed a high flight of speed and took to the going like a duck but Fruit Cakes game ness told and she gained on Herodias steadily and five yards from the finish Kummer desisted plying the whip thinking the victory earned button his return to the stand found Herodias number in the winning slot The usual demonstration when there is disagreement over a placing followed when the race was made official officialSTEEPLECHASE STEEPLECHASE TJNINTESESTING HACE HACEThe The steeplechase over the about twomile course was an uninteresting race for Elysian was much the best of the starters and won in a canter after having led for the entire way There developed a spirited battle in the stretch between Robert Oliver and Garter for second place with Robert Oliver finally managing to down the latter Sal zeda the only other starter blundered steadily for the first round of the field and later when his chances were hopeless he was pulled up upThe The sport began with a mile dash that brought an ordinary band of platers but it resulted in a fairly close finish with Goldvale outstaying the favorite Wilfreda by a close margin and Lorena Moss in third place Goldvale displaced Loyal PctoF f fronr ronr the lead in the first quarter and had enough in reserve to withstand the challenge made by Wilfreda in the stretch There was consider ¬ able activity about War Club on which Sarnie had the mount but he waft never dangerous dangerousThe The anxiety on the part of owners to secure racing material was made manifest here when Loyal Peter was claimed by C liouisson for 117525 and War Club was taken by E E Mooarfor 1430 1430Win Win Martin the astute Tennesseean agajn un ¬ covered a good one and put a crimp in the bank ally ran away from his opponents in the fifth rare and won with his rider looking over his shoulders to observe the struggle for second place between Quen of the Sea and Celto Happy Valley sprinted into a good lead in the first few strides and drew far away to win in a canter Manoevre might have given the winner an argument with equal racing luck but a poor beginning caused him to be far bock in the early racing and after having closed an immense gap and coming with a terrific rush the inexperienced Hamilton took him into a pocket and was forced to ease him up resulting in the loss of second place for the horse horseThe The final nice for twoyearolds found several highly regarded ones going to the post but as a contest it was farcical after the stretch was reached for Robinson sent Blazes along with n rusli and the further he went the more distance he increased between himself and the others ul ¬ timately winning as far away as his rider elected Franc Tireur just got up in the last strides to overhaul End Man
