the two-year-old championship lau-

Then Oscar Lewsohn's colt, Yankee

Bit by Mountain Spiders.
The absence of the much-heralded
colt. Jack Atkins, is regretted on all
sides as much because of the popular
ity of Barney" Schrieber as the quiet
understanding of the Youngsters abil-
ity to trim the best of the New York
babies" when right. Schrieber's colt
contracted slight blood poisoning
while in his stall at Saratoga three
weeks ago. Schrieber noticed the
colt limp. and and on examining his
OFF hind hook, discovered a swelling
abrasion no larger than the circum-
ferance of nickel. Next day fever
set in, and the whole lower portion
of his leg became inflamed For some
time Schrieber and his assistants
were at loss to account for the
strange occurance.
He couldn't have kicked himself nor
against the planed hardwood sidings
which the late w. C. Whitney had
placed in all the cabling at the Spa
some years ago. Finally John E.
Madden came along to console Schrie-
Der. who had then resigned himself
to taking Jack out of training and de-
claring from the futurity. Madden
looked over the premises suddenly he
stuck his cane in a far-away corner.
and down dropped nest of Adiron-
dack black spiders. There is the
answer" declared Madden, as the long
tendriled creepers spread about the
floor. 1t appears that these BLACK
mountain spiders" are more like
tarantulas than ordinary house spiders.
When annoyed, they will bite, and
.heir bite is venomous, but not to
fatal degree. Four years ago Madden
had two horses on the sick list be-
cause OF spider hites, while one of
his colored stable help all but cashed
in, too.
Salyidere the Greatest.
Horace E.. another colt brought
east by Schrieber, and which he sold
to the Messrs. Rainey for $25, 1000, is too
small and light in flesh to show the
class credited him. He has not grown
an inch since leaving Memphis, Tenn,
last May. All in all. regard Salvidere
as the greatest colt of the year. with
Water Pearl almost as fast and classy.
Salvidere went to John E. Madden from
the salesring at Brighton Beach, whith-
err he had been consigned by Trainer
Bob" Tucker, Of the disbanding Brown
stable. for for $1,000. He has won

Louisville, KY, with F. A. Forsythe, of
Lexington, Ky. He won two creditable
races, and then Diamond Jim" Brady
secured him at $4,000. OF course, the
story of ElectiOneer is we'll known.
The colt is by Voter, from the we'll
known mare Quesnal. BILLY" Lake
land, the old-time jockey, who won
fame in the days of the Bay District
course, at San Francisco, Cal, and the
Metarie course, at New Orleans, La,

$4,000 James r. Keene had given
Major Thomas, of Dixianna farm. a
free service of his sire, Voter. The
Major mated Quesnal. Funny thing
that three years later the progeny,
Electioneer, should beat Keene's own
entry, Pope Joan, for the $37.64O first
money and the renown of the 1906
futurity. something Electioneer did, as
we all know, on September LIST last.
Both Salvidere and Electioneer are
slow beginners, but resolute finishers.
Both will develop into tremendous
