Hi!dreth Saddles Two Winners

winners of the day, though earlier he
Fed ssddled two beaten favorites. The
Grsentree Stables Peter Piper ran a
race much improved over his first start
q Saturday, and simply tow-roped the
ta7orfte. Lord Brighton, and three
ethess in the first race, at six furlongs.
Peter, who usually quits at the end OF
i've furlongs, or sooner, seemed capa-
bls Of going on forever yesterday aft
ernoon.
Lord Brighton, of course, was the
arst beaten favorite TO be saddled by
Hldreth. Brush Boy, in the feature
race, was the second. But in the fifth
reee, the Claremont Handicap, at FIVE
snd half furlongs, friend Samuel be-
gan to make amends. Arewer simply
buck jumped home ahead Of FIVE others.
Sut it was in the last race that Sam
Wldreth really upset the beans. In
.his hve-turlong dash for maiden two
year-olds the Raneocas Stables colt
Kai-Sang, sadly neglected in the mar
let, shot out to the lead at the start
and increased the advantage at every
6ost. Kai-Sang never was let down, but
be ran the ive-eighths in the good
tirae Of 100 2-5, despite a strong wind.
Before the race everybody thought
Kai-Sang had little chance for the
ions snare CT the purse. The highly
touted New Orleans, which belongs to
s. A. Clopton, was out for his first
start. The rail birds considered this

Hadn't he worked the half several
times in :46 fat and the five-eighths

Sang went kiting from 8 to 5 to to l,
New Orleans was hammered down from

play too, on Bud Fisher, OF the MUTT
