Ever hear the story why the late
w. II. Vanderbilt paid odd change for
Maud S.---that is, why the sum was SAL
ooo, instead Of, say, $4,000 or s2s,ooo7'
inquired q well-known horsemals. re-
lntes the Boston Herald. There Is an
Interesting story back Of that which
has never been printed, and as ] had
it from Mr.. Vanderbilt himself I'd bet
red apple IL is all right.
''The sum which Mr.. Vanderbilt was
tn pay Capt. George Z. Stone. Of Gin
oinnad. for Maud s. was an even $Qo-
0o0. before the mare was delivered
Capt. Stone IS supposed TO aaee rred
his bargain. Abyhow, he wrote 10 Mr..
Vanderbilt that ht AID proulissa 20

as a honorarium. ana he Eloaght NJ
Vanderbilt ought 70 add tina > ptfH
he was TO pay. The presumption
that Stone thought this marking up
OF the price would break the bargain.
One thousand dollars wasn't much for
man like Mr.. Vanderbilt, but that
little ruse made him Just as mad as II
II had taken .fhe last cent he had on
earth. But he was something Of a
David Harum himself, and knew a good
piece Of horse0esh when he saw Il. and
when he sent Capt. Stone his check for
the mare Il was for sei 900 instead o.
: $4,000.
That's part Of the story, hut only
the least interesting. Afterward, when
Capt. Stone headed 4 ayndicats 70 buy
Maud s, back from Mr. Vanderbilt. and
was willing 10 pay 100000 for her, the
big railroad man still remembered lhe
$1,000 transaction. and the Cincinnati
people could not have bought the mare
II they had offered 81 100000 for her
OF course, when Mr.. Vondestilt sold
her TO Robert Bonner for $40 900. when
he had heen offered @io0.o00 there Was
good deal said about his desire 70
getthe phenomenal trotter Ia the hnndl
OF q man who would take good carl
Of her. The fact Is that Mr.. Wander
bilt was willing to sacrifice 10000 "a
even UP matters with Mr.. Stone. And
II this IVES expensive revenge for Mr
Vanderbilt IL was even more expensive
for Stone, for II ke could have pur
chased Maud 5. a that time he corAi
have cleaned up $3.50. .ooo wish her,"
