. ADVANCE STAKES WINNERS The Advance Stakes is now at weight for age, lint it was not always so. In its first two years 1899 and 1000 It was a dasli of a mile and three-quarters under special weights, with penalties and aliowances. It was in one of these two that one of the most popular racers ever known, the black mare Imp, ran a mile anil three-quarters in such fast time as 2:59Vf.. In 1001 the Advance was made a weiglit-for-age race at a mile and a half and at, that distance was won in successive years by Star Bright and Gold Heels. Then in 1903 the distance .was cut down to a mile and three-eighths and for the first time it was won by a Uirtv-year-ohrAfrIcander triumphing over Irish Lad. The latter had bis turn the nexfttyear-iwhtvlie: defeated Ort Wells and Bryn Mawr and set a record for the distance that has not since leen equaled. The race stood unchanged until 190S, When for the first time it was run at its present distance of a mile and live-sixteenths and was Won by Ballot in new record time.
