. • i I i - ; r - 1 - c - TRAINING AT MORRIS PARK. With steadily improving tracks the horses in the vicinity of New York are now beginning to receive strong installments of the work so necessary to fit them for the stirring contests of speed and endurance near at hand. Of the exercise of the horses at Morris Park Tuesdays Morning Telegraph says : "A. J. Joyners Autumn, Ethel bert, Lackland and Howard Mann, after trotting and cantering, were sent a half mile at fully three-quarter speed. All of them went in capital style. Touraine, Swamp Angel, Tender, Kings Pride, Sagasta, Prince of Wales, Big Indian, and the two-year-olds all did useful exercise gallops. "T. J. Healeys Kinnikinnick, Athanas, Arquebus, LAlouette, St. Lorenza and Sparrow Wing were sent a mile at a little bit better than a two minute gait. Bangor went six furlongs at three-quarter speed. Bardella, Trillo and the two-year-olds did useful exercise gallops. "F. Browns Ben Hadad, Estaca, Judge Denny, Veracious and Blarneystone did trotting and cantering exercise. W. Cloyds Domineer and Alcott, the Kinglike — Stonecrop colt trotted and cantered. Olcott, which is pretty near to a race, is a speedy colt. His fastest work so far has been a half mils in 524. "W. Karricks Miss Tenny, Dan Rice, Strangest, Meehanus, Ornamental, Lady Sneorwell, Huitzilopochtli and the two-year-olds all did useful exercise gallops at various distances. Matt Allens string were all out, and after trotting and cantering quite a number of them were breezed at three-quarter speed up the backstretch. B. D. Woods Belle of H„ Maid of Harlem, La Vendee, Lady Cncas and Nan-nine galloped at a steady pace. W. Smiths Ahom did a steady two mile gallop. Handcuff trotted and cantered. "J. W. Rogers string, in charge of W. Mc-Cann, did trotting and cantering exercise. Mr. Kogers has been quite seriously ill since Sunday last, but yesterday he was somewhat better. Mr. Rogers returned from his European trip looking very much improved, but in attending to his training duties he caught cold, with the result above stated. "Callahan, Diminutive and Lady Lindsay galloped at a steady pace. A. D. Pryors good-looking string of two-year-olds did useful exercise gallops. S. Veitchs Bonaparte and Diversion were sent a mile at about three-quarter speed. The rest of the string did trotting and cantering exercise. "In Joyners string are Automobile and Dobbins, Jr., the property of Mr. Richard Croker. Automobile is a brown colt, 2. by Dobbins — Flirt III. Dobbins, Jr., is a chestnut colt, 2, by Dobbins — Stethoscope. "The three two-year-olds purchased by W. H. Clark arrived at Matt Allens stable yesterday from Kentucky in charge of J. Miller, than whom there is no more careful shipper of horses in any country. Millions of dollars worth of thoroughbred stock has been intrusted to Mil- lers care in transportation in the last fifteen years. "Aqueduct is now only ten days off and still not a move has been made to provide facilities for trainers to school their horses. It is little wonder that trainers grumble at the mdiffer-f ence shown by gentlemen at the head of affairs as in this, one of the most important matters for the welfare of the sport, there is no mora attention paid to their request than if they were asking for the moon. The result will be that in big fields of horses at Aqueduct, espec-3 i ially in two-year-old races, the starter will have J to educate these youngsters to do what could and ought to bo done before they are sent to start in a race."
