HORSES AT MORRIS PARK. An eastern writer, who has been taking stock of the horses in winter quarters near Now York says of those located at Morris Park: "There are comparatively few trainers quartered at Morris Park this winter. Seeing that the stabling there is of tho best, and thete is plenty of paddock room, the reason is hard to find, but the fact remains that trainers dont flock to tho Jockey Club track as might be ex-peered. The list is approximately as follows: A. J. Joyner, T. Haaley, W. Karrick, Woods in charge of the Osceola Stable, J. Bodsn, J. McLaughlin, W. Smith and J. W. Rogers. "Joyner has tho king pin of the track under his charge, Ethelbert, and tho best three-year-old of the year was very much in evidence at the time of my visit. He was enjoying his liberty to his hearts content in the paddock. He ia full of life and a pictare of good health. When the horse returned from Saratoga he had a violent attack of catarrhal fev6r, but before the season was over he wrs well and strong. "Joyner has twenty-six in his string at present, and Pierre Lorillard haB notified him that he will send him ten homo-bred yearling3 from Rancocas and David Garrick and The Chamberlain. "Maribert is another high-class colt which is enjoying a rest in an adjoining paddock to Ethelbert. He, too, looks to be thriving well under present conditions and should fill out into a fine three-year-old. "As yet it is early in tin dull season to make a close inspection of the yearlings, and Joyner says he has no record breaking performnncas to report in regard to them. Of his lot he seems to pin his faith more particularly to tha sister to Jean Beraud, a handsome bay filly, bred at Brookdale, by His Highness Carrie C, by Sensation. She is the property of Dave Gideon. "Another colt wdich is a stable favorite belongs to Perry Belmont, and is by Heary of Navarre Lady Kidbrooko. He was" bred by August Belmont at tho Nursery Stad, and ia an exceptionally good looker. "Joynors own colt Autumn is back in the string again, and gives every promise of training next year. "So far as riders for the stablo are concerned, Joyner has the better of most of his brother trainers. He has three of them under contract Danny Maher, Dangman and 8atley. Maher is at tho stable as yet, but leaves for his home at Hartford, Conn., today. His last riding weight was 105 pounds, and his contract with Mr. Lorillard calls tir him to ride next season at 108 pounds. Dangman. who is prominently before tho public today, i3 a bound boy of Joy-ners. He can ride at eighty pounds, and aB he has lately shown great improvement, by naxt year he will in all probability ba one of the crack lightweights. Joyners third rider is the boy Setley. Ho has ridden a few times in public, and is very promising. "J. W. Rogers has four yearlingi at tho track, bat is not there just now himself, having taken i a trip to Denver to look after his property there. : "Jim McLaughlin has takon half a dozau of his lot to Washington, and has left hi3 son Jimmy in charge of twenty-ono head at Morris Park. Of this numbar one old-time favorite, j Premier, was readily recognized, running out in the paddock in front of the stable. Roysterer, O. L. Richards colt, whoso stifle was fractured in a race at Gravesend. is, contrary to expectations, coming around all right again "There are thirteen yearlings in McLaughlins r string. One colt is particularly noticeable". He is a rich chestnut colt, with two white hind legs, two white coronets in front and a blase face. Ha hails from Kentucky and belongs to a Mr. Taylor. He is by St. Saviour. He is certainly one of tho handsomest yearlings ever Been."
