Madden lost no time in sending Sslvidere
after the money. He won the gelding out
when Salvidere captured the Montauk stakes
o. Brighton. incidentally defeating Elec-
tioneer, who later on was victorious in the
Futurity. Then he followed this up with
impressive vict cries in the Brighton Junior
Stakes, the Winged Foot Handicap. the Sara
toga Special. the Adirondack Handicap, and
the Junior Champion stakes on Saturday.
When he ran second to Fountainblue in his
first start on July Il Salvidere carried 90
pounds and won 500. His weight In the
Montauk was 100 and his share %, $50. He

respect. Water Pearl stands second with

the much discussed question of two-year-old
supremacy. which has been a puzzle all the
season until now.
The most interesting event this week at
Grsvesend will be the match race between
Roseben and Lady Amelia next Thursday.
They Will carry weight for age and as both
are fve-year-olds and are In receipt Of the
usual sex allowance Of three pounds they
will carry 1913 pounds each. The distance
IL called by the Brooklyn Jockey Club about
ak furlOngs" but it Ia in reality only FIVE and
three-fourths furlongs. Both Roseben and
Lady Amelia will be in superb condition
when they face the starter and each will have
an army OF followers, which means a world
OF speculation. IL is not probable that there
will be any sort of price against either. as
they are thou ght to be evenly matched. Both

the sweepstakes on Thursday the race would
become even more interesting to the public,
with the prospect Iof a new worlds record
for the distance.
