for eight years piloted the celebrated Maud
s., in which he says: Maud s. is to-day
the greatest trotting horse in the world. I

can beat her. She could have made more
money for her owner than any horse that
ever lived, but she has always been in bad
hands for money-making None of her
owners would ever allow her to many any
money. The time she was under my
charge she never made mistake and never

taken to Bonner's private track, where she
will be worked quietly and if she don't do
better you will never hear of Maud S.
again."
