Twenty Years Ago Today Chief Turf Events of August 15, 1904 Racing at Saratoga, Hawthorne and Fair Grounds at St. Louis. The Mist was not permitted to start in the Hopeful. Stakes, which was won by Herman B. Duryeas Tanya, because of a technicality. The filly was nominated by the Burlingame Stock Farm and on the books of the association there appeared no transfer of her engagements to W. H. Hammond, her present owner. The Mist is coming back to Chicago. Clarence H. Mackay, who has just returned from France, thinks French racing is the best in Europe, and there are many who share that opinion. He brings back with him Irish Ivy, the three-year-old winner of the Cambridgeshire, carrying 7 stone 12, or 110 pounds at our weights, and she, with some other good mares, is in foal to Isinglass. This looks as if Mr. Mackays return to racing would be an important one.
