Two-Year-Olds Stole The Limelight At Last Week's York Meeting

London, Aug. 24.

A two-year-old stole the limelight at last week's meeting on the historic Knavesmire course at York.

The Pie King, owned jointly by the Americans, Mr Ray Bell and Mr Ellwood B. Johnston, proved his eminent staluro with a facile victory in the Gimcrack Stakes; Mr Harry Joel's High Trenson broke tradition by beating his older rivals to win the Nunthrope Stakes, the British "spring" champlonship, and Mr A. L. Haw- kins' Moonlight Express, trained like the Ple King by Paddy Prendergast in Ireland, pulverised the opposition in winning the Convivial Stakes.
