NEW YORK, June 26.The spirit of the
Times of June 2sth will contain the fol-
lowing answer to the challenge to match
Jay-Eyo-Scc against Maud s.: After
| Maud =. trottcd in 2:l3A on the 10Th in
slant, j. /. Case issued Il challenge tO
match Jay-Eyc'Scc for Il race or eXhibi-
! ton heat against any horse for $4,000
II side, half forfeit, the decision OF
ground 10 bc either at Hartford, Provi-
dcncc or Chicago. The challenge was
specially intended for either Maud ;. or
Clingstone. The latter is showing his
best form this season. Mr. Case further
SAYS: "lf neither of the tracks named is
satisfactory to Vanderbilt or Gordon, L
will allow the choice he 10 determined by
lot" Meeting Mr.. Vanderbilt when tho
above seemingly bold challenge was
given publicity we introduced tho
subject. With much earncstncss hO
expressed himself aS follows: "T
have heard of the challenge signed by
the owner of Jay-Eyc-Sec. Why he or
anybody else should have impudenco
enough to nlludc To me or my mare AZ u

to allow her trottcd in II race

is the fastest piece of trotting horseilesh
in the world. If she is not the fastest
she is ut least the handsomest and most
perfect. ! ncn any one else gets and
drives on thc road finer looking ami

on previous occasions, there are some
horses if they could trot n mile in "A min

my private use. ] think Maud il per-
fcction in everything she undertakes"
Continuing the conversation in Il general
L..
To me that financial disturbance now
prevalent should affect adversely inter-
est and attendance at racing and trotting
meetings" The Spirit replied: "Quite
the contrary, there has never been Sd
great public support given To racing
meetings as at those recently held in tho
west and south and the ones now in pro-
grcss at Coney Island and Chicago, indi-.
eating that the people seek
relief from their trouble i'm
the excitement furnished by turf
contests and outsOf-door amuscmcnts.p
To this Vanderbilt answered: "Wcll, af-
ter the presidential election is over Wa
