day the lightest In the history Of the track
since the present mana gem ent took control.
This In q little surprising g, for as a rule during
the back end days Of q meeting the losers
are trying to get even and the winners to
increase their profits. There 10 Just one ex-
PLANTATION that suggests itself. and that-t b that
expenses have been SO high here that even
the winners are working along on limited
bank rolls. War rates have ruled sinoe
the hour the horsemen arrived, and so e1-
orhitant were some OF the natives in their
charges that they have killed OF the patronsg GO
OF hundreds who would have been willing
to give them q fair margin OF profit.
Salvidete's victory in the Adirondack
handicap was, as expected. an easy one.
He was carrying topweight. 1873 pounds. yet
the impost looked light considering the grade
OF the oontenders. Sewell made 1t look like
q race for the colt by some clever horsemen-
ship, but to the practical critic there was no
stage OF the journey when the result was In
doubt. First money was $4,000. which makes
the earnings OF this colt for about six weeks
something over s37. 900. He is at top notch
now, and as he has q number OF engage
ments ahead Of him 1t is safe to predict that
the wlndup Of the season will find him over
the $50, 900 mark.
John Madden, who 10 Thomas Hitohcock's
partner in the ownership Of the colt. deserves
q lot OF credit for the manner In which he is
campaigning lin. He has, of course. met
some Of the stars. but he has been dropped
into corners that looked and proved easy.
He is not In the Futurity. but a stable mate.
Conville, is. and Madden sald to-day that he
would win the big race on Saturday.
The colt carries III pounds, and Sewell
will ride. Conville received his final workout
ut Horse Haven this morning. covering ak
furlongs in 1:i7. This does not look like any
thing out Of the ordinary, but the training
track Ia deep at all times, and the work. con-
sidering the conditions. came pretty close to
eaualling any that has been done here. On
what this colt has shown here 1t Is next to
impossible to regard him as entitled ia. even
a rating in the dangerous division. but, Mad
den insists he has a good horse. and-Madden

of the white with blue polka dots will be the
choice at post time on Saturday. This after
