hdSb NthialuN tUAJ 0UItlQHre, the RnlIAnt
son of Bel~videre-Sallie Of Navarro, was
easily the est. This ~youngster, a gelding
mot colt as be hast cen enormously called),
showed all the qualities OF a great race
horse, and John z. Madden said just before
Salvidere went out Of training that IL he
next spring ready 10 clean up all the richest
th~ree-year-old stakes. Salvidere started
sever times last season. He lost his first
race tecause OF inexperience lack OF
condition. But after that he was victorious
six tines in succession, his winnings in
these events icing exactly ttS. 9S5. He
was one Of the hest kar~ains in many years,
and at present he could not be purchased
probably for less than $50, 900 cash at the
lowest. Mr.. Hitchcock never had such re-
Golf Ball, Sir Russell, Pater, Joe Miller
and Convillo raced in his colors, hut they
did no amount TO much. Salvidere act
ually won more money than all OF Mr..
Httchcockis steeplechasers put together.
Mr.. Hitchcock, always an enthusiastic
c-ross-country expert, swept the board in
this respect with such famous timt err
toppers as Good and Plenty. who won the
Whitney Memorial in the spring; Hylas.
who captured the Champion Steeplechsse
In the fall; Phantom, Paul Jones, Orc and
Tom Cogan. His / rother, +. r. Hitchcock,
who raced Dandelion, Tangle n Mandarin,
had an excellent year, too, his winnings
amounting TO t24 sos. But Dandelion,

disappointing nt in the Brooklyn n the

one OF these big races his owner would
have been highly gratifed. As II was, it
became necessary for Mr.. Hitchcock, in
spite OF h fact that Dsndelion ran sec
ond, to protest Go Bet een' 3 victory solely
IN the interest OF clean racing, an act which
brought down upon him unjust criticism
from numerous quarters.

champion two-year-old, he was excelled
in actual stake winnings by Electioneer by
Voter-Quesal, who won the Futurity for
William Lakeland. This colt won three
events, and with $5i SET he heads the list
Of successful youngsters in this respect.
Sydney Paget's Water Pearl is third on
the list with ssl,i50 for finishing first
five times. Early in the season Water
Pearl looked like a world heater, but he
suocumbed to illness. which set him back
his speed when Trainer Joyner sent
him back TO the races in the fall. Mr..
Paget, barring Water Pearl and Charles
Edward, who won the National Champion
Stakes. was greatly disappointed in his
two-year-olds, while CairngOrm, who was
a crack th~ree-year-old, did not run back
to form, being successful in only one race, an
overnight handicap, which Melted just $50.
Hamburg Belle won two races, but was
retired early, probably TO go TO the stud.

nothing more than to run second. Mr..

she was as sound as a gold eagle. 1t looks
as IL the Keene stable would be very strong
in three-year-olds next season with Peter

draw upon, while a new bunch OF tw o-year-
Odds from Castleton Stud will be awaited
with much interest.
although he did not win more h four
races, was the Oruondale Stables Oran,
who picked up S2j ,9l5. Oran, a stable
mate Of 0rmondale. the winner Of the
Futurity in 1905, was raine by Tom Welsh,
who bad marked success with the New

When Alteration, a filly by Ornament, won
the Matron Stakes at Belmont Park, she
headed the list in his colors, with Gallavant
next. Lord Of the Forest, Monfort, Bill

lamented Rams Horn and Phil Finch, got
away with t25, $50, Rams Horn winning
$40, $50 in the Brighton Hancicap. J. W:

with Nealon, DIR. Gardner and Deutschland.
He afterward sold DR.. Gardner to T. ID.
Sullivan and Frank Farrell for $4,000, and
got a similar price from Boots Durnell for
Nealon. Schneider also sold Horace e. TO
Roy Rainey in the early spring for s25 900,
the colt proving @ big disappointment.
John A. Drake always said that his stable
made up Of selling platers, barring Ort
Wells, who, according to Mr.. Drake, Is the
greatest racehorse that ever lived. In the
Drake barn at the opening Of the year were
Grapple, who surprised everybody by win
ming the Metropolitan Handicap; Yves,
R6bo, Broadcloth, Pretension, Runnels,
Neptunus, Royal Lady, California King,
Ed Ball and a few others. But from the
moment that the Drake horses began 10 run
the bookmakers too no chances with them
in the way Of Offering prices. Mr.. Drake,
however, accepted the odds and wagered
extensively, blu after winning $1,000 in
purses and stakes he fourd himself a big
loser, so he decided to quit the turf tenn
porarily.
p. J. Rainey, il is said. paid more than
500. 600 to get experience on the turf. When
he bought Radtke's contract for SIS. 900 and
came East he declared that II money could
secure one he intended to nave a powerful
racing stable. But after paying SA5 900 for
De Mund he frightened up his purse strings.
But meanwhile he dropped some immense
wagers on De Mund. 80 that the paltry
