Madden Backs Soprano.

Proposing a big sweepstakes race, which will bring together some of the best trotters in training next season, John E. Madden the other day threw down the gauntlet In behalf of Soprano (2:07%) by posting his check for SSOO to bind a race for SI,OOO a corner, open to all trotters, except Uhlan (1:68%) and The Harvester (2:01). The race is to be trotted over the track that will add most money to the stakes. Mr. Madden's stipulation is for mile beats, best three in live. Horsemen regard the dell as- being aimed especially at Joan (2:04%). bolder of the world’s record for fouryear- olds.
