MAUD S. AND MILLIONS.
MR.. VANDERBILT TALKS FREELY
He Refuses to Match Maud :. Against
Jay Eye See. and Hints That
Lake shore Is II Splendid
stock to Buy.

NEW YORK, June 26.-The Spirit of the
Times of Juno 2Sth will contain the fol-
| lowing answer to the challenge to match
Jay-Eve-Scc against Maud s.: After
Maud =. trOttcd in 2:l33i on the 2Olh IN
slant, j. /. Case issued II challenge TO
match JAY Eyc.Soe for Il race or exhibit
ton heat against any horse for $4,000
side. half forfeit, the decision OF
ground to he either at Hartford, Provi-
dcnce or Chicago. The challenge was
specially intended for either Maud =. or
ClingStonc. The latter is showing ms
best form this season. Mr.. Case further
says: III neither OF the tracks named Is
satisfactory to Vanderbilt or Gordon,
will allow the choice be to determined by
lot" Meeting Mr.. Vanderbilt when the
above seemingly bold challenge was
given publicity we introduced the
subject. With much earnestness he
expressed himself as follows: 81
have heard of the challenge signed by
the owner of Jay-Eye-Sce. Why he o.
ANYBODY else should have impudencc
enough to allude to me or my mare as Il
challenged party, knowing, as every. one,
| knows have invariably refused
to allow her trotted in Il race
or match, is past my comprehension,
| keep Maud for my amusement, and
am well satisfied in my own mind she
/ Is inc IuSlcSl piece VI
in the world. If she is not the fastest
she is ut least the handsomest and most
perfect. When any one else gets and
drives on the road II finer looking ami
nal, independent of speed, will prob
ably dispose of Maud ;. | have said,
on previous occasions, there are some
horses if they could trot mile in min
ute would not have them as gift for
my private use. | think Maud is per-
lection in everything she undertakes"
Continuing the conversation in general
way, Mr.. Vanderbilt remarked: seems
to mo 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 so
great public support given to racing
meetings as at those recently held in the
west and south and the ones now in pro-
gress at Coney Island and Chicago, indi-
eating that the people seek
relief from their trouble in
| the excitement furnished by turf
contests and out-oi-door amusements.'
TO this Vanderbilt answered.: swell, at
ter the presidential election is over we
shall have return of confidence and
consequently better times and ! know
lots of people who are ioolisly
converting their assets into money
and placing il in their boxes
where in safe deposit vaults,
it can earn nothing, instead of investing
i'm securities of known value at prevail
ing abnormal and panicky prices.
Take Lake Shore, for example. 1t
earned net the first six months
this year within 100000 of amount
earned in the same period in
1882, yet the market price of
the stock is quite 40 per cent. below the
average price in 1852. Its all matter OF
confidence. Why, know one instance of
a man who has stored a lot OF specie in
his house and had Il burglar alarm at
sleeps with a revolver under his pillow.
His second nights experience proved
ludicrous. One of the family came in
late, and not knowing how the burglar
alarm worked set it off. Out came
my friend with u. pistol and bangs
away, hitting a valuable mirror and
creating a panic in the household. Oh,
no, / shall not use Maud S. for other than
road purposes this year." "There is
really more dignity than warmth in Mr..
| Vanderbilt's remarks" says the Spirit
of the Times, "as Mr.. Case knows full
well that he has everything to gain and
nothing to lose by making believe that
he is seeking to put his little black geld.
| ing against the queen of the turf, for he
must be well aware that Mr.. Vanderbilt
has set his face against matching Maud
| s. against time or other horses. Mr..
Case might Just as safely challenge Mr.
Bonner's Rarus or Edwin Forrest. 1t
appears to us his actual motive is mere
commercial scheme TO secure liberal
offers from associations for exhibition
heats by his horse"
