THE TRAVERS STAKES SATURDAY MAY DECIDE THE THREEYEAROLD CHAMPIONSHIP OF THE YEAR Stakes at a mile and a quarter the principal feature of Saturdays atoga which provides for the distribution of more than SUlOOO in stakes and purses by tin iatiun for the Improvement of the Pieed of Horses takes on an added interest this year because yearbecause of the possibilities if otters in the way of untangling this much mooted question of supremacy in the threeyearold division Parring Col W E Ajplegates great son of Marathon Jack Hare Jr all the prominent contenders for the threeyearold titte are included in the eligible list and reports from the scenes of activity indicate that none of them will dodge the issue Willis Sharpe Kilmers Sun Iriar A K Macombers War Cloud and Harry Payne Whitneys Johren have been especially groomed for the event and it is the consensus of opinion that the rich prize IK certain to fall to one of the trio though there will probably be several other highclass performers in competition such as Motor Cop Extermina Exterminaii ii Hock Lucullite Lucullite has been showing up well in his work but whether trainer Hilihoth considers him far enough advanced to engage in a con ¬ test of this kind is a matter that lie has not confided to the public Hepresented by Sun Itriar and Ex ¬ terminator Willis Sharpe Kilmer seems to be particularly well fortified Sun ISriar demonstrated by his recent recordbreaking performance that he has reached the form that marked his twoyearold racing and in Exterminator the master of Sun Itriar Court holds an exceptionally strong hand in the event of a muddy track In the latter contingency War Cloud would most certainly be withdrawn and the A K Macomber dependence placed in Motor Cop Johren has not been seen under colors since his defeat by War Cloud and Jack Hare Jr in the Dwyer Stakes This letnp is said to have done the Spearmint colt a lot of good and all reports indicate he is in tiptop condition With satisfactory conditions prevailing and racers of this calibre in competition the Travers wlieh has a guaranteed value of 10000 is certain to furnish one of tin most sensational turf struggles of the year The stake was first run in 1811 when it was won by Hunters Travers Kentucky Since then the names of many thoroughbreds that have made American turf history have been adled to the list The two
