Second Among Winning Owners.
Salvidere's remarkable success has
done much toward placing Mr.. Hitch /
cock second in the list of winning
owners. with $l05,0o0 to his credit Mr.. /
Hitchcock's steeplechasers have helped /
10 swell this amount. but Salvidere has /
earned almost half, at the same time /
topping all OF the twO7year-olds in This /
respect Water Pearl stands second 4
with $40. $50. and EIectioneer is third /
with $44 40. James r. Keene heads 1

year-olds Peter Pan. Court Dress, Bal !

Ballot and Water Pearl were not in
the same class with him. In races
when q his hest he I'd the Jun I

It was something that nobody expect

was generally believed that SaIvidere'al
real worth would be shown ic the home
stretch. where De Mund usually tires
after his early burst OF speed. Salvf-
deres victory, therefore. is gratifying.
