Tho latter distance was traversed by Flames, which ran it cantering in 2:09. Princess Ruley went a mile and an eigh:h. She covered the first mile in 1 :42 and galloped out the extra eighth in 1 :56.

Aga Khan displayed the fastest trial of all, and this fine son of Omar Khayyam and Lady Carnot is the stables chief reliance in tha stake.

Trainer Fitzsimmons was mightily pleased with the showing of his charges and expressed the opinion that all of them would start in the championship race. It has been arranged for Earl Pool to ride Aga Khan, George Fields will have tho mount on Flames, and either C. Fairbrother or Eddie Barnes will come from New York to pilot Priscilla Ruley;
