whole lot to say about the two-year-
old championship award, despite Nor

trainers. Sam Hildreth, uncovered two
great Juveniles today in the running
OF the Grand Union Hotel Stakes, the
feature race OF the best program yet
presented. when the colts Kai Sang and
william 4. ran one-two, under Fator
and Sande, respectively.
Kai Sang beat William A. by two
lengths and William A. in turn cinched
second money from Montford Jones's
Pegasus by a like margin. But Kai
Sang ,gon on sutferance, make no mis-
take O. that. 1t is not the intention to
toss shy rocks at Kai Sang, which was
admirably ridden from start to finish
By Laverre Fator. But every one who
watched the race closely was satisfied
at least was pounds the better of the
entry.
Kai Sang did everything that great
thoroughbred is expected to do He
negotiated the six furlongs in the re-
markably good time of 1:l2 3-5. Only
two other Grand Union Hotel Stake
winners ever bettered this time. the
CREST and only Man @ War two years
ago and Prudery last year. But,
whereas Kai Sang was away we'll, Will
liam A. got bad break at the start
and was lost in the shuttle most all
the way round the turn.
Ssnde Slips Through
The clover Sarde slipped through on
the rail turning into the stretch and
raced up until ne was at Kai Sang's
heels. Re pulled out at the sixteenth
hole, but made no effort to get his
stable mate and was simply cantering

got the bakers dozen off in good
alignment. But there was naturally

William A. was shuffied back and so
was Oil Man, that finished fourth. Oil
Man, under none too good a ride on the
rart Of Everett Haynes, came down the
stretch Ike Z Man O. War and in alt

money from Pegasus. Haynes took the
overland route all the way, else ne

the biggest shock OF the meeting
came IN the fourth race, which really
should have been the feature. This
was the rich Travers, at mile and

The Beverwyck Steeplechase Handi-

sensation all of its own, for it was won
By the Dosoris Stables Syrdarya, an
outsider that paid as nigh as SIS for

after the start fenced we'll and won

The stake WAS worth 32,625 to the
winner
As TO thu United States Hotel Stakes
which is naturally banked upon as a
line for the rich Hopeful S axes, to be
run the last day of the meeting, no
doubt remained that the Rancocas
Stable had by far the best pair IN the
big field. Kai-Sang raced like q cham
