Text

Nobody attending the races at Saratoga this year is having a better time than Admiral Cary T. Grayson, who is racing and breeding in a small way. He owns among others the good handicap horse Gnome, and is up and out for a ride on the back of a grey mare he brought from Washington for a hack, every morning at 6 o’clock. His day is a busy one between inspecting the training of the horses, looking over his own and the other yearlings which are to be sold during the next two weeks, and passing the time of day with his host of friends. While Admiral Grayson has a small stud his mares are all of the finest breeding, and he is certain to send some winners to the post, especially when he retires Gnome from the race course, and crosses him on the fine English and French mares he owns.
