She Likes Candy and Gingerbread
A Reporters Interview with RHaud g.
Her Usaal Daily Programme.

A group of well known horsemen stood
around Maud S. in her comfortably fitted
apartment in the Belmont Park stables in
Philadelphia Monday, and discussed the
probability of the famous trotter lowering
next fall her already great record. The lit
tie mare, who is always given the full range
of her commodious stall, moved from one
man to another, playfully poking her nose
under their arms or into their coat pockets
. in quest of the tidbits she is accustomed to
receive. She finally got around to her train
er, W w. Bair, against whose cheek she
rubbed her nose, aud then proceeded to
make athorough examination OF his big coat
pockets.
''She wants some candy" said Mr.. Bair.
"She likes it."
After eating several pieces of candy with
apparent satisfaction she demonstrated the
versatility of her taste by munching with
equal pleasure small slice of gingerbread
and piece of pretzel.
"The little mare began Jogging on the
track on Monday last,' Mr.. Blair said. ssbut
SO far she has not been moved much, only
enough TO give her necessary exercise. The
track IS IN such bad condition that nothing
can be done 90 it yet, We jog Maud around
six or seven miles day at slow gait now,
but after the track gets better we will let
her go faster"
Tue usual daily programme consists at
present OF good rubbing down in the morn
Ing by Daniel Bowers, the groom, brisk
walk on the track IN the forenoon and snOth-
| er IN the afternoon, after which the mare is
| again well rubbed down, and every particle
Of mad removed from her hoofs and legs.
Her food consists principally of warm mash.
| Since she came to the park there has been
| no pereeptibe change in her weight, which
is now GAO pounds. She weighed 9425
pounds when she made her record of 2O9i
at Lexington, KY. Mr.. Bonner was at Bel
| mont Park last week and expressed great
satisfaction with the condition of Maud s.
He has not decided at what places she shall
trot during the approaching season.
