EASTERN TRACE WORK WORKWith Wraith With the important Morris Park meeting dated to begin tomorrow some note of the training of the horses that will take part in its various events cannot fail to interest western readers The following observations of Morn ing King Telegraphs writer Kelston Keelson will serve to give some idea of what is being done with the horses in training about New York YorkAt York At Brighton Beach the going near the inner rail was somewhat lumpy and I noticed that Lakelands Lakeland horses were exercised out on the middle of the track where the going was much better All of the string were out but as the most of them were worked on Sunday they were restricted to trotting and cantering exercise exerciseHamburg exercise Hamburg trotted and cantered As I stated a few days ago no horse could be training and doing better than Hamburg and those who have not seen the horse since last fall will be astonished at ths this remarkable improvement he shows Mr Marcus Daly Dally was at Brighton Beach a few days ago to have a look at his string and although he is a hard headed prac pac ¬ tical tidal man and not given to enthusing he ex ¬ pressed himself as being delighted with Ham ¬ burgs remarkable improvement and his splen spleen ¬ did condition I had the privilege of looking the horse over in his stall yesterday morning after he had been done up and it is not to be wondered at that all those identified with him are charmed with his appearance appearanceIt appearance It has not yet been decided whether Ham ¬ burg will be shipped to Morris Park in the latter part of the week with several others of the string or finish hisjpreparation disproportion for the Bel Belo mont at his homequarlers homebuilders Ogden and Isidor Insider both eligible for the Metropolitan Handicap have done a lot of strong work They will be asked a question today or tomorrow when it will be decided whether they go to the post or not Gold Car certainly one of the handsomest 2 yearolds earls in training is coming on all right but is not being hurried in his preparation Crocker which was intended to represent Marcus Daly Dally in the Juvenile has had to be let up on account of bucked shins This is un ¬ fortunate as he had shown very well in his work workAt workmate At Sheepshoad Sheepish Bay the track was in good condition and fast Tom Greens Fugleman Euglena Loiterer and Tickler trotted and cantered The 2yearolds also trotted and cantered after which St Lorenzo Lorenz Warhead and Interferer breezed a quarter from the head of the stretch in 23i Interferer broke two lengths behind the others and finished first He must have run the quarter in 23i As he had a lad on him that looked close to 130 pounds there is no denying that this son of Meddler has a wonderful turn of speed I called attention a few weeks ago to this colt and stated that I expected him to prove the best of the Koene Kenney string of 2yearolds and with no mishap he will prove to be so soW W Hayward sent Mont dOr doer a mile in 1 49 The rest of the string trotted and cantered Albert Coopers Murillo Merrill did a steady mile and a half gallop This horse improves all the time He makes a slight noise but he has shown so much speed recently that he will win in fair company It is intended to start him in the Withers but in a Strong run race from end to end I would not fancy him much muchAt Muscat At Gravesend Graves the track was in capital con ¬ dition edition and fast but the majority of the horses were restricted to useful exercise work Hardy Campbells Campbell Previous went a mile in 1 47 well in hand It is extraordinary how his horse thrives and puts on flesh with his work He looks a hundred pounds heavier than he did six weeks ago Cleopbus Clop went six furlongs at a racing clip Ed Tiffens Stiffens Dr Catlett Cattle and the rest of the string trotted and cantered Dr Catlett Cattle which looks very well will get his winding up work for the Metropolitan at turf headquarters on Thursday The string will be shipped there tomorrow His last work a mile in 1 441 was done in good style and even with 124 pounds to carry he will take some beating At Morris Park useful exercise was mainly the order of the day In J W Rogers string Royal Stag breezed a half mile in 52 seconds Walter Rollins Collins sent Deerslayer Deerstalker a mile in 1 48 and Great Neck went five furlongs in 1 05 C T Pattersons Patterson Ornament Algol and Macy Marcy trotted and cantered Julius Bauers Bauer string were all out and did useful exercise Mr A H Morris was present during the morning In conversation with C T Patterson Mr Morris remarked that both horses fit and well he would like before the season is over to see The Friar and Ornament meet at two or two and a half miles not for any big money but just to demonstrate which is the best horse over a dis dais ¬ tance stance Mr Morris stated that he would be ready to make the match at any time during the season when both horses are good It is to be hoped that the owners of Ornament will also be willing willingWalter willing Walter Rollins Collins string trotted and cantered after which Scotch Plaid and Arquebus Harquebus went a mile the latter handily in 1 46 The 2yearold Armament worked over the last five furlongs of the Withers mile in 1 02 This colt is engaged in the Juvenile Stakes on

with a string of nine horses including the Metropolitan candidate Ben Holladay Holland which if he does all right after his imp is a certain starter in the event MrvWimmer Mortimer tells me the horse is wonderfully well and very fit so that even with the steadier of 126 pounds he may take a whole lot of beating although this good son of Hanoverwould Hanover be better suited were the distance
