TWO RICH STAKE RACES Of EXTENDED HISTORY WHICH WILL FEATURE THE RACING AT SARATOGA THIS AFTERNOON Two valuable stake races are set for decision at Saratoga today the Spinaway for two yearold fillies and the Travers Stakes for threeyearolds In the year 1880 Prince George Lorillard introduced a beautiful chestnut filly named Spinaway to New York racegoers She was a daughter of Leamington and the Eclipse mare Megara She was then a twoyearold and made a great impression on account of her speed She won seven of her nine races all stake races She was twice beaten by the tremendously fast Bonnie Scotland colt Barrett but beat him in her turn It was in honor of this splendid filly of nearly forty years back that todays race was named Appropriately the race has been contested by great fillies such fa ¬ mous names as those of Miss Woodford Mission Belle Los Angeles Daisy F Sallie Mc ¬ Clelland Tanya Maskette Ocean Bound and Bashti adorning its record of winners The history of the race is

Stakes was named after a noted wit capitalist turfman and fine gentle ¬ man of long ago William R Travers Having first been rim in 1864 it is the longest estab ¬ lished race for threeyearolds of this country Originally a dash of a mile and threequarters it was run at that distance down to 1898 when it was made a mile and a half race After ¬ ward several other changes were made in its distance until in 1903 when it was fixed at a mile and a quarter at which it has since remained During the Walbaum guidance of Sara ¬ toga affairs it came near disappearing from the racing map not being run in 1896 1898 1899 and 1900 but when the present administration rescued the track from its downward course the Travers was promptly resurrected and has been fostered into its present prominence as the principal Saratoga race for threeyearolds At its longest distance it was annually con ¬ tested by the best threeyearolds in the land and fell to such splendid colts as Kentucky Glenelg Kingfisher Harry Bassett Joe Daniels Tom Bowling Duke of Magenta Falsetto Hindoo Barnes Bersan Inspector B and Sir Dixon while such fillies as Maiden Ruthless Banshee and Sultana carried off its honors in their years Later famed winners more famil ¬ iar to the present generation of racegoers included Henry of Navarre Blues Hermis Broomstick Frank Gill Dalmatian Roamer Omar Khayyam and Sun Briar Its guaranteed value last year when Sun Briar defeated Johren by a head in a thrilling finish was 10000 This year it is of the increased value of 12500 and its condensed history is as follows followsXcar
