...65th running of the $25,000 Travers Stakes, oldest horse-race in the U. S. When the Saratoga meeting opened, it looked as if the Travers would bring together Mrs. Isabel Dodge Sloane's 3-year-old champion Cavalcade and Joseph E. Widener's Peace Chance, winner of the Belmont Stakes. These horses have not met since the Kentucky Derby. Last fortnight Peace Chance was withdrawn because of a wrenched knee. Last week Cavalcade was disappointingly scratched also, when his trainer decided a bruise on his right front foot would not heal in time to permit him to run. This...

Bishop of New York, in whose diocese lies the President's own Hyde Park, speak out as he once did against the divorce of the late Mrs. 0. H. P. Belmont.

The Legion of Decency charges no dues, hence differs from Mrs. August Belmont's Motion Picture Research Council with which it is in full sympathy. Aiming at enlisting at least half the U. S. Catholic population of 20,000,000 as well as all Protestants and Jews who care to sign, the Legion last week claimed 2,000,000 members. In Saratoga...
...John Hay Whitney's three-year-old Singing Wood: the Withers Stakes; when the favorite, Mrs. Isabel Dodge Sloane's High Quest, stumbled at the start and threw his jockey; on a sloppy track, at Belmont Park. ¶ S. L. Froelich's Sealyham terrier Gunside Babs of Hollybourne: Best in Show against 2,827 entrants in the Morris and Essex Kennel Club's dog show, biggest outdoor all-breed event ever held in the U. S.; at Madison...
