Sam Hildreth saddled and Harry F.
/ Sinclair bet on no less than three win

ernoon. The white and green silks OF
the Rancocas stable came home in

certain year of racing. Triple-headers

most august racing commissioner, and
to-day's, triple-header was the second
Of the meeting for Messrs. Sinclair
and Hildreth. No wonder Harry F.
wonders how long the benefit has been
| going on.
| To-day's races were only a laugh
| for Rancocas. Little Chief and Kai-
| Sang ran one-two in the Saranac Han
dicap at q mile, which was the fea-
| ture of the afternoons entertainment.
SO certain was Mr.. Hildreth of VIC
| tory that he declared to win with Lit
tie Chief, the Lesser of the two strings
to his bow. Little Chief won in
common romp in the excellent time of
| 1887 4-5, galloping home length and
| half ahead of his stablemate. Kai-
Sang, which in turn was elngth and
half in front of Frank Farrelps
| Horologue.
Excellent Price on Stable
Little Chief and Kai-Sang were
/ cheered to the echo when they re-
| turned for weighing out. The entry
ruled very popular favorite at 6
| to 8. This was an excellent price.
Either, unsupported, should have been

Horologe, the second choice, which
closed with great rush through the
stretch to finish third, might have given
with an even break in the racing luck.

posed an epic Of horsemanship.

Kai-Sang Is Restrained
But Sande was taking no chances.
He lay in fourth position in the race
around the turn and, coming to the
| outside on the stretch turn, moved up
| to and past the two contenders. Kali
Sang was only uck-jumping under his
4 heavy impost of 1873 pounds. It ap-
peared as if he could have rolled over
his stablemate at any stage of the
/ homestretch, had it been necessary to
protect the $500 cash prize that went
to the winner.

remembering against the future.
