reporter that if the boot straps on ONE of
the horses had not broken they wonld have
trotted in 2:18, which when you consider
that one of the horses has record of
2:191a and the other 2:gO1a, is the height
OF absurdity. l hope that Mr.. Vanderbilt
Will see that he is wrong, and make me a
proposal that 1 can accept, which 1 shall
certainly do when fair offer is made"
Mr.. Eastman said to reporter: Il do
not think that Mr.. Work wants a race.
made him what consider fair PROPOSE
ton, and while he did not decline it as a
man would who thought or knew he would
be beaten, he turns right over and
makes me proposition which he wants
me to comply with. Then he makes big
show of giving the money to an institution.
Now, gambling is gambling, and if want
to gamble want to keep what [ win. I
don't propose to put up $4,000 OF $4,000
and if win give the money away. The
idea of his wanting to trot a mile dash;
who ever heard of such thing? His
horses are old and liable to trot fast mile.
so that by chance they might win under
such conditions as he proposes. But my
proposition is in accord with all trotting
usages- His horses might win one heat,
mine the next, and so it would take the
number of heats to decide the trot.''
''But," asked the reporter, ''could you
not modify your proposition in such way
as to insure race?"
WELL" was the answer, Il do not know
as l could at present. The horses are not
mine, you know. have them only to trot
them and Mr.. Vanderbilt considers that
the challenge was in every way calculated
to show wfeather Mr.. Work wished race
or not.''
''Are you aware that Mr.. Work doubts
the genuineness of the record made bay
Early Rose and Alline:''
"Oh, yes; but any one who knows any
thing at all, knows that that record was
made by the team. Why, with three ex-
perienced men in the stand, with accurate
quarter-second watches, there could not
be mistake; and it is not probable that
you could bribe them to give wrong time.
And Wednesday Mr.. Vanderbilt drove
them over the Gentlemens driving park
| track in 2:22 something never before done
by gentleman driver. He drove them to
the half in 10 and came home in 1 :12, and
that without skip or break. If they
can do the mile in that time with him in
the wagon, do not think there ought to
t2:1615 in harness and with professional
driver who knows all the tricks of the
trade. Now, Mr.. Work gives as a reason
for his wishing mile dash that his horses
are not in condition. Any one with any
reason knows better. He drives then
every day on the road and speeds then
three times week, and what better prep
aration do they want? But do not wan
VI,
Work wants race, and will make any fai
proposition, somebody will take him up.
