TEST STAKES FEATURE 1 ! AT SARATOGA MONDAY I SARATOGA SPRINGS, N. Y., Aug. 5 The principal offering of the Saratoga Association for Monday is the Test Stakes, a seven furlongs dash for three-year-old fillies, to which ,500 is guaranteed. There have been eleven named in the overnight list sent out today, and it will cost the association, for the fees will not reach the guarantee. J. H. "Bud" Stotler has three of the W. R. Coe eligibles in the promised field. They are Sunny Queen, Black Queen and Enactment. Under the conditions each is in under 106 pounds, while James Fitz-simmons has a pair from the Wheatley Stable, with penalties that require Iseult to take up 126 pounds, while Notebook will shoulder 121 pounds. Henry McDaniel will saddle two in Joseph E. Wideners Hastipast and White Lies, which won opening day for Mrs. P. A. B. Widener, his daughter-in-law. They are in at the bottom with 106 pounds. Edward R. Bradleys Barn Swallow takes up 121 pounds, by reason of penalties, and all of the others only have to carry 106 pounds. These are Welcome Gift, from the Greentree Stable; Samuel D. Riddles Speed Boat, and Mary Comings Illusive. Iseult, Notebook and Barn Swallow have earned the high weights that are to be carried, but with the others taking up only 106 pounds it will be a severe task and should prove an interesting renewal of the prize that had its first running in 1922.
