Chicago, August 24. Equipoise, Whitney's great fire year-old which is threatening to be- come the heaviest money winner in turf history, captured the $25,000: added Hawthorne Gold Cup race at the Hawthorne track to-day, beat- ing Gallant Sir by two lengths.
Mister Khayyam was third in the mile and a quarter race. Equi- polse's time was 2.02.4/5.

The present record for total money is held by Willis Sharpe- Klimer's Sun Beau, to whose credit was $376,744 when he was retired two years ago as a six-year-old.
To overtake him this year Equipoise must win nearly every big stake in sight. He already has captured the Metropolitan Handicap at New York and the Arlington Handicap here.
