cause he had won the French Derby so
easily. Maintenon ran far below his
form against the English colt and was
beaten of, That Prestige would have
done much better and might possibly
have beaten the English Derby winner
was the universal opinion of the clev-
crest turfmen in France.
Unfortunately Prestige was ineligible
to start for the Grand Prix. He was
bred by M. Ravaut, who met death
while taking an alcohol bath in cabi-
net, which overturned and imprisoned
him. Before he could be released he
was fatally burned and soon after
wards died. 1t was his death which
made Prestige ineligible for the race.
Has Never Extended Himself,
Prestige proved to be an aptly named
colt. He cost Mr., Vanderbilt $4,000 as
a yearling, but paid his purchase price
many times by beating every horse he
met, both as a two and three-year-old
French turf critics have declared time
and again that this horse is tho best
bred in France in many day. He won
all of his races in commanding style.
Reports of his races say that he never
was fully extended at any time.
The success of Prestige is truly mar
velous, inasmuch as he is an unsound
horse. His ability TO win 80 many
races and run 50 frequently in two years
speaks we'll for the skill of his trainer,
William Duke, resident Of Wcllsville,

PARIS, Aug. 4.-No man is more
popular on French race courses than
William X. Vanderbilt. For ten years
he has tried for success on the French
turf. While he has had number of
winners in past years, 1t was not until
this season that he achieved the distinc-
winner, which was his colt, Maintenon.
Prestige, too, won many laurels for
Mr.. Vanderbilt Both colts earned
large amounts.
This is the first year in the history
Of French racing that an American has
ever led the winning list of owners.
James R. Keene two decades ago gave
fame and distinction to the American
thoroughbred by winning the Grand
Prix de Paris, the most valuable stake
in the world, with his horse Foxhall,
but he failed to make his stable the
largest winner Of the year,
Blanc His Nearest Competitor.
Mr.. Vanderbilt horses give promise
Of winning 100000 before the racing
season ends. He leads by many thou
sands of dollars all other turfmen in
9 France, His nearest rival is NJ. Ed
ward Blanc, the noted French turfman,
whose horses have won for him $55, 500
Maj. Eustace Loder, the well-known
English turfman, is third, with $4,000
+ to his credit. Mr.. Loder's prominence
4 on the winning list is due TO his great
! three-year-old colt Spearmint, which
went to France after he had won the
English Derby, and annexed the great
est turf prize in Europe, the Grand
Prix de Paris, worth $4,000.
Prestige Knows Not Defeat.
Prestige is unquestionably the great
est OF all French thoroughbreds. In two
years he has never met defeat. He is
credited with being at least fifteen

Mark Twain was a guest on the Rogers

the Kanawha won the James Gordon Ben

the object OF supremacy. But in a
match race two years ago the Kanawha
beat the Smith racer by fve minutes

The most recent trial came about
through the challenge by Smith. The Ka-
nawha had Just left New Bedford when
the Haouli steamed up, with broom at
her masthead. After an exchange Of

Mark Twain, were his wife. a Mrs. Coe

several hundred yards.

over, but is injurious to a horse that
has bad hoofs or unsound legs. During
rainy spell the turf becomes sodden,
slippery and is frequently cut into
holes by the hoofs of the thoroughbreds.
To race over such courses for two
years is most trying on n sound-limbed
horse, let alone one that has bowed
tendons, such as Prestige has. During
this period he won sixteen races.
Maintenen Another Good Winner.
Maintenon cost his owner $4620 as a
yearling Like his stable mate he has
won this many times over. He is not
a particularly fast horse, but slayer,
and wins most of his races over dis
tancc of ground. In the Derby and the
Grand Prix he was ridden by Percy
Woodlands, the young English Jockey.
owner, who trains and rides his own
race horses. When J. Ransch, Mr.. Van
derbilt' IS regular jockey, was taken i'll
before the Derby, Mr.. Vanderbilt
showed his high regard for Woodlands
as a rider and confidence in his ability
by asking him to accept the mount on
Maintenon in both big events. He rode
the colt successfully in the Derby, but
failed to cut any figure in the Grand
Prix. Maintenon's s poor exhibition
helped Spearmiut materially to finish
in front and to land for Mai Loder a
bet of $4,000 on his colt This money
was placed in the French mutuals, as
bookmaking is prohibited in France.

|tions regarding economy of fuel. the
supply of which has been exhausted.
It will be necessary, in order to p,lr-
chase additional fuel, for the navy. to
ask the contractors TO await the pleasure
OF congress until there lis fund avail
able for the purchase of coal. 1t is .ex-
pected that the contractors will not OBJ
5ject to this condition, and the service
will not be seriously embarrassed by the
failure of congress to provide the pres
Ieflt means OF acquiring fuel for ships of
war. II there were any difficulty in that
direction, the ships on distant stations
could not be moved and the vessels now
~ southern waters would have TO pro-
coed to. Guantanamo, Cuba, and remain
there until coal could. be obtained. But
no such embarras assrnent is likely to att
tach to the service, mainly on account
OF the willingness of the contractors to
trust the government, especially as a
contract for coal has its negotiable val
Vie, although there are not funds inn,
inediately available to meet the obliga-
ton. )f course. it has to be considered
that IN such a state OF affairs the coal
dealers who sell ito the government, take.
into account this delay and charge ac7
eordingly, so that in the end the govern.
nlerit pays for the favor obtained from
the Goa. dealers. AT this time the most
rigid economy is exacted of commanding
officers everywhere in the use of coal,
and there will be no more movement of
ships than is absolutely necessary.
These restrictions will doubtless have
their effect on the plans for naval man
etiVers in southern waters.
