Tranter, president of the Fasig-Tipton Company, spent today in Lexington on business connected with the August sales of yearlings at Saratoga. He stated that the sales will begin on August 4 and conclude on August 17, after which there may be a sale of horses in training on August 21. While here he visited Keeneland and was impressed by the splendid appearance of the new plant. During the morning he visited auctioneer John W. Bain, who is recovering from a hip fracture, and hopes to be out in time to sell yearlings as usual at Saratoga. Tranter departed this afternoon for New York. Grover C. Hughes will be the first owner-trainer to occupy stalls at the new Keeneland track. He will transfer the three-year-old Broadwood and the two-year-olds Sandra and Flying On from Lexington Fair Grounds to Keeneland this week. Charles C. Van Meter has returned Put-zen and Zingali from Latonia to Fort Springs Farm. They will be castrated tomorrow.
