The largest crowd in the history OF
the Spa meeting turned out today TO
witness an unusually good card.

when five out of six favorites were
bowled over in rapid succession. The
sole winning favorite was Sun Briar.

program, the Grand Union Hotel
Stakes for 2-year-old at six fur
longs, attracted an extraordinary field
of youngsters.
The track was heavy, in fact the
slowest time of the meeting was
made in nearly every event.
Sun Briar has proved himself TO
be the best 2-year-old shown this
season. He shouldered 80 pounds
and Just romped home in the Grand
Union Stakes, defeating Kashmirby
length and a half, while War Ma
/, chine was third.
Papp, who, has been acclaimed the
best 2-year-old of the season, was de-
feated in a going that was supposed
to be suited to his taste. He ran
disappointingly and was beaten OF a
| considerable distance.
Raj PARIS Crimper again ran badly
and met defeat when he was beaten
by Clcmatis in the Merchants and
Citizens handicap. Tickets was third,
Dodge was supposed to be the best
thing OF the day. but he. like his
other fallen favorites. finished out Of
| the money.
Blackboard finally made good after
many trials when he romped home In
