Mr. VANDERBILT ON MAUDs.
W. H. Vanderbilt, owner of Maud g., with
party Of friends from New York city, visit
ed Chicago arriving Friday, for the purpose
of seeing his mare make her effort to beat her
own time Though Mr.. Vanderbilt has owned
Maud 8. several years-in fact during her en-
tire turf career-he had never until
Saturday, in the race above recorded,
seen her trot a fast mile. The
party accompanying Mr.. Vanderbilt consisted
of thefollowing gentlemen Capt. j. H. Wander
bilt, an old gentleman of SO years, brother
of the late commodore, and one of the hardest
road.rldsrs In New York; w. K. Vanderbilt, a
of w. H.; IS. Foster Dewey, well known
as a lover of fast horsefesh; Gen. George H.
Magee, Edward Ellis, William Turnbull; T.
c. Eastman and j. NJ. Marvin. Shortly after
reacbing Chicago, Mr.. Vanderbilt was met by
Tines reporter, with whom the following
conteesati0n occurred:
'fNow that you and your friends have come
all the way,from New York to see Maud s..
trot, Tomorrow, the general impression is
that she VIA be entirely cut loose for the
first time in her career on the turf, and that
sAe wiz put the record at the lowest notch
attainasle. Is it true that she will be sent to
the limt of her speed?"
"Her ipeeding will depend entirely upon
the conditions at the time. My friends tell me
the tracks wet and soggy. don't look for
very fasteime, but do expect cIeditabie per-
formancs. Her driver will be the judge of
what sfs ought to be called on to do. When
driving ny own horses, can always tell what
they areable to do. For the fastest time, all
the conditions must be favorable, even to the
charactG of the atmosphere inhaled"
"Wh& do you think her capable of?'
'She las never yet shown the measure OF
her ability. Under proper conditions, she
must trJt faster than she has ever trQtted.

on good track. She Is phenomenon, in

and CAPT Stone are entitled to great deal of
credit fR her management. | am told that
she hasn't single fault; that she is Perfectly
kind, docile and faithful"
"Wha. decided you to put her on the track
| this season?''
"Ths record of St. Julien last fall was So
near hers that wanted to give her an oppor-
tunity 81 lowering it, but l had no idea she
woulddf it at Pittsburgh. on a miserable

If the conditions, however, are such as to ad
nit OF her trotting in 2:10, they will probably
| admit of her being driven in 2;O6, provided
her driver thinks It prudent. He tells me tha
she is, undoubtedly, faster than she was last
| year. As said, all the conditions are neces
sary. One little thing may npsetit all. have
never seen her trot and am anxious to witness

Maud,H. and So-So.
Saws the Chicago Times of Saturday:
4 Capt. Stone has pardonable pride in th
two fast young mares in his charge, and pre-
diets astonishing things for them before th
season is ended. He will not say what h
thinks Maud s.. can do in figures, but hold
that, ii she is kept on the turf for three Q
four years longer, without accident, she wi
be able to put the record SO near to two mir
utesthat no other animal will be found
beatit for a good many years.to come, and b
is willing to wager SIG, 600 that, let him nam
the day and track, she cap cover full hal
mile in an even minute. He bases this o

at Chicago, she went the middle half id 1.G
