RICKETY HOME FIRST Geme Little Colt of Whitney Stable dm Huron Stake Race at Saratoga in Easy Fashion. Saratoga, N. Y., Aug. 22.—After a long series of disappointments Harry Payné Whitney's courageous colt Rickety finally won a stake race yes- terday. There was no Omar Khay- yam or Hourless in the Huron Handi- cap, the featurs of the program and with those two champions in the barn Rickety had things his own way. ‘He carried 126 pounds, gave away welght to a quartet of high class three-year-olds and beat them over the stamina testing distance of one mile and three-sixtéenths without be- ing forced to do his best. As Rickety passed the judges he was only a length in front of J. W. Parrish’s Southern Star Midway, but that was solely because Jockey Rob- inson did not want him to win by a bigger margin. Robinson eased Rick- ety up when he passed the final six- teenth pole five lengths in front, but twenty yards from the finish he was compelled to go to work again, for Midway came wih a rush and got within striking distance. If Mr. Whit- ney’s jockey had been less alert Mid- way probably would have stolen a march on him and nipped the victory on the post. The victory of Rickety was a mop- ular one. He is a great horse, but since ‘he began his racing career as a two-year-old last year he has always found one of two other colts which were a trifie faster. Last year only Campfire was superior. This season he has been compelled to chase home Omar Khayyam and Hourless. $20,000 FOR NORTH STAR. Bradley Buys Broken Down Racer for His Stock Farm. Saratoga, Aug. 22.—North Star, the of Sun Star-Angelica which A. K. Macomber bought a year ago with the idea of winning the Kentucky Derby and other three- Yyéar-old classics, was sold yesterday to E. R. Bradley for $20,000. North Star, which won the Middle Park Plate ab & two-year-old and was rated the best of Nis agé in England, cost Mr. Macombér more than $50,- 000 and has never been sent to the oSt in this country. The colt broke down in his prepa- ration ‘for the Kentucky Derby. It is doubtful if he can be trained and Mr. Bradley bought him for his stock value. TRYS To OPEN WiNDow To GET BENERT OF OUTSIDE AR EXTRA SU-PREmME EFFORT BEN ALI WINS RACE Favorite in Adelphia Hotei Stake Wins in Straight Heats.—Cox Drives Win- ner in Feature Event. Philadelphia, Aug. 22.—All three events on the second day’s card of the Grand Circuit race meting at Belmont Park yesterday were decided in straight heats. North Bpur, Ben Al, and Bacelll took their respective events in handy fashion, although there were close finishes in the 2:10 pace, which furnished a track record for an open pacing race of 2:04 in the second heat. Local interest centered in the 2:20 trot for the Directors’ stake of $1,000, the entries being owned at present or at the time of entry by local horse- men. North Spur, by San Francisco, & winner at Cleveland last Friday, owned by Joseph McLaughlin of this city and driven by Cox, won handily. The 2:10 pace for the Adelphia Ho- tel stake of $3,000 had only six start- ers, but was hotly contested. Ben All was the favorite, and justified the choice by winning in straight heats.
