Gravcsend and others will soon come from Jacksonville and Tampa Kdiiie Diigtin August Belmonts jockey after a week at Shcepshead Bay lias gone to iarnet S C to help John Whalen prepare Mr Belinonts horses for an early campaign campaignAt At Belmont 1ark Thomas Henley who has charge of the powerful string of Hichard T Wilson Jr did not get his liorses out on the training track until Saturday But they were ready for light work Mr Wilson has 010 of the largest and most commodious stables at Belmont Iark around which Mr llcaley ha built au exercise path of straw six laps to the mile So well constructed is this artificial bridle path it is easy for horses to trot and canter and even to galiop over it itWilliam William C Hayes has had his jumpers Bampart and Salamander busy for a week or more and Silas Veitclf who expects to win some of the steeplechases at rimiico has been busy longer than that Kimball Patterson has been going along with Hocky OBrien and others of tlie McManus horses for several days daysNow Now that these Belmont Iark liorses have forsaken the sheds for the open track they will remain out of doors It will take the worst kind of a cold snap to drive them under cover again againWilliam William Hogan has taken his time with the jump ¬ ers of Bartlett McLennans string but Hogan will have them ready for early racing hereabouts hereaboutsThomas Thomas Welsh was tlie first horseman witha big string to forsake the shed at Gravesend Air Welsh had the early sets of the strings of August Belrhout and the Newcastle Stable on the old Brooklyn course Friday There are fortyodd horses In the Welsh stable most of which are twoyearolds There will not be so many when Mr Welsh gets through weeding out the establishment tind the ones that are to be sold will run at Aqueduct Jamaica ami Belmont Park It is improbable that Mr Welsh will send anything to Pimllco PimllcoFrank Frank Taylor who is wintering Fitz Herbert for John E Madden hud that distinguished sou of Ethel hert and Morganatic out at Sheepshead Bay Friday and Saturday The fact that Taylor has begun early work with Kitz Herbert would seem to Indicate that John E Madden intend to hare him ready for the Metropolitan Besides Fitz Herbert Mr Taylor is training three twoyetr olds for Charles Kohler the New York piano manufacturer who recently purchased the Star Shoot stallion Uncle from S O Hildreth and established him at a farm in the Uamapo Hills Mr Taylor purchased these youngsters at Lexington last fall for Air Kohler and Mr Kohler is thinking of augmenting his racing stable stableCharles Charles Fleischmanns horses are at Sheepshead under the eye of the veteran John Hyhind and they probably will come to baud early Mr Fleischmann has given Dullcare to his brother Otto Otto Fleisch mann is a nonprofessional rider who has ridden hordes belonging to his brothers establishment in various gentlemens races in the last few years It is the intention of Otto Flcischmaun to nut Dull care in most of the gentlemens races next season and ride the horse himself himselfMr Mr Fleischmunns best horses last year were the Disguise gelding Footpad and tlie Ethelbert horse Apache Footpad lie purchased from James It Keene two or three years ago He got Apache at Yonkers in July out of a selling race Apache wintered satisfactorily and Footpad rather a lightly made horse last year has filled out ovey winter winterSteve Steve Lawlers1 Blue Book Acumen Cliickasaw Blue Crest Blue Tie Cohlcn Legend Queens and Nods have arrived from Oceaiiiort N J where thev wintered and Mr Luwlor will shortly begin work with them at Beinumt Iark Air Lawlcr got Acumen from the Uancocas Farm last season He was over at Haniocas just before shipping here and found the crack racers of the Livingston outfit the big iilly Amelia Jenks and the colts Kingship and Love Tie in superb condition Love Tie was the better of these colts last season and Mr Lawler becomes enthusiastic when he tnlks of the present condition of the superb son of lldrlm Love Tic was a good looker last year Mr liawler said hut you never saw a horse improve more than he has improved in winter quarters He will be about 1 when he conies to the races and a big horse all over His shoulders are superb and his quartern and stiiles are fine There was not much to choose luttwecn Ijore Tie and Kingship last year according to Matt Feakes but Ill bet that Love Tie is considerably the better horse this season Kingship too is a prepossessing threeyearold He lias lengthened and tilled out in all directions Amelia Jenks was one of the handsomest lillies out last season and she has not gone back with respect to looks If she dots not make a great weightpacking sprinter I will miss my guess guessThere There are fiftyodd twoyearolds at Haucocas some of which will carry Mrs Livingstons silks the coining season and some of which will be sold soldSecretary Secretary Behbcrger of the Queens County Jockey Club reports that entries are coming in rapidly for the stakes to bo run at Aqueduct The 2 N Carter Handicap seven furlongs will probably attract all of the leading sprinters Including Jack Atkiu and Sir John Johnson The twoyearold stakes are at ¬ tracting entries from tlie big stables as well as from small ones which would seem to indicate that many youngsters of class will be shown at the Inaugural meeting of the Jockey Club circuit
