Vanderbilt Talks Horse ano
Finance.
New York, 20 The Spirit OF the
Times of June 2Sth will contain the
following answer to the challenge
to match Jay Eye See a2ainst Maud
s :F''I have heard OF the challenge
said to be signed by the ownes OF
jay Eye See. Why he. or anybody
else should have impudence enough
TO allude to me or my mare as the
challenged party. knowing as every
one knows 1 have invariably re-
fused to allow her to be trotted in
race or match, Is past my compre.
tension. / keep Maud for my own
amusems Mt, and am well satisfied
in my own mind that she Is the
fastest piece of horse flesh In the
world II she is not the fastest she
is at least the handsomest and most
perfect. When anyone else gets and
drives on the road q finer looking
animal, independent of speed, !
will probably dispose Of Maud
s. l have said on previous
occasions, there are some horses, If
they could trot mile in q minute l
would not have as gift for my prl-
vate use. think Maud S. is per
fiction in everything she under
takes" Continuing the conversation
in a general way, Vanderbilt re,
marked: at seems to me that the
financial disturbances now prevalent
should affect adversely the interest
of and attendance at racing aud
tIotting meetings" The converse
ton then turned on the financial
situation, and finally concluded by
Vanderbilt remarkine: "Oh, no, [
shall not use Maud s for other than
road purposes this year."
The Spirit Of the Times comments
ss follows: "There is really more
dignity than warmth in Mr.. Van.
derbilt's remarks, as Mr.. Case knows
full well that he has everything to
gain and nothing 20 lose by making
believe that he ia seeking to pit his
little black gelding against the queen
of the turf; for hs must be we'll
aware that Mr.. Vanderbilt has set
his face against matching Maud 8.
against time or other horses during
her career on the turf. Mr.. Case
might Just as safely challenge Mr..
Bonner's Rarus or Edwin Forrest,
1t appears to US that his actual
motive is mere commercial scheme
to secure liberal effers from associa-
tions for exhibition heats by his
horse.
