HORSES AT MORRIS PARK. An eastern writer, who has baan taking stock of the horses in winter quarters near New York says of those located at Morris Park: "There are comparatively few trainers quartered at Morris Park thip winter. Seeing that the stabling tbere is of tho best, and theie is plenty of paddock room, tbe reason is hard to find, but the fact remains that trainers dont flock to the Jockey Club track as might be ex-pected. The list is approximately as follows: A. J. Joyner, T. Haaley, W. Karrick, Woods in chargo of the Osceola Stable, J. Bodan, J, McLaughlin, W. Smith and J. W. Rogers. "Joyner haB the king pin of the track under his charge, Ethelbert, and the be3t three-year-old of tbe year was vary much in evidence at tho time of my visit. He waB enjoying his liberty to his hearts content in the paddock. He is full of life and a picture of good health. When the horse returned from Saratoga h9 had a violent attick of catarrhal fever, but before the bobeou was over he was well and strong. "Joyner has twenty-six in his string at present, and Pierre Lorillard has notified him that he will send bim ten home-bred yearlings from Rancocas and David Garrick and The Chamberlain. "Maribert is another high-class colt which is enjoyiDg ,a rest in an adjoining paddock to Ethelbert. He, too, looka 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 hiB lotheseema to pin hia faith more particularly to tho sister to Jean Beraud, a handsome bay fflly, bred at Brookdale, by His Highness Carrie C, by Sen-Bation. She is the property of Dave Gideon. "Another colt wnieh ia a stable favorite belongs to Perry Balmont, and is by Hoary of Navarre Lady Kidbrooke. He was bred by August Belmont at the Nuraery Stud, and is an exceptionally good looker. "Joyners own colt Autumn is back in the string again, and gives every promise of training next year. "So far as riders for the stable are concerned, Joyner haa the better of moat of hia brother trainers. He has three of them under contract Danny Maher, Dangman and 8etley. Maher is at tbe stable as yet, but leaves for hia home at Hartford, Conn., today. His last riding weight was 105 pounds, and hia contract with Mr. Lorillard calls tor him to ride next saason at 108 pounds. Dangman. who is prominently before the public today, ia a bound boy of Joy-ners. He can ride at eighty pounds, and as he has lately shown great improvement, by nixt year be will iu all probability bi oae of the crack lightweighta. Joynera third rider is the 1 boy Setley. He has ridden a few tim93 in pub- lie, and is very promising. "J. W. Rogers has four yearling! at the track, but is not there -just now himself, having taken i a trip to Denver to look after his property there. : "Jim McLaughlin has taken half a dozan of his lot to Washington, and has left hia eon Jimmy in chargo of twenty-one head at Morria Park. Of this numbar one old-time favorite, 3 Premier. waB readily recognized, running out in the paddock in front of tho stable. Roysterer, O. L. Richards colt, whose 8 till a waa fractured in a raca at Gravesend. is. contrary to expecta- tioop, coming aronnd all right again. "There are thirteen yearlings in McLaughlins f string. One colt ia particularly noticeable. . He ia a rich chestnut colt, with two white hind legs, two white coronets in front and a blaze face. Ho hails from Kentucky and belongs to a , Mr. Taylor. He is by St. Saviour. He is certainly one of tho handsomest yearlinga ever seen."
