WILSON STRING IN GOOD CONDITION. New York, April 4. It. T. Wilson, president of the Saratoga Association for the Improvement of tho Breed of Horses, accompanied by Andrew Miller, steward of the Jockey Club, spent several hours yesterday afternoon looking over his horses at Belmont Park. Shortly after Mr. Wilsons arrival trainer Thomas J. Ilealey worked a set of nine two-year-olds a quarter of a mile. This lot has been under saddle joggiiig and cantering since the middle of January. The track exorcist!, of at least a fortnight, has fitted the youngsters admirably, and they moved through the stretch in a business-like manner. The short dash was done in pairs at an average speed of tewnty-seven seconds. Futurity, the handsome bay son of Ormondalo Futurita. and the star of the colts last fall, has retained his symmetrical lines. He is a fast colt with a smooth way of going. New River, a bay colt by Yankee Lucv Glitters, also possesses the conformation and speedof li good one. Reine Margot. the only filly in the collection. Is nicely turned. She is a bright chestnut by Mexican Lady Navarre. The bay colt Dovilstone. by Yankee Dcviltrco, is a well-balanced fellow. The stable seems strong in the juvenile division. The older horses are doing well and will be readv for racing at Pimlieo. Olambala. winner of the Suburban, Commonwealth, Brighton. Saratoga and Cham-plain Handicaps, looks even better than he did at a corresponding time last year. Naushon. winner of the Expectation, United States Hotel and colts end of the Matron Stakes, is a rugged horse with a determined way of finishing. The stable has been particularly fortunate in es caping illness of any nature and little was done in the way of firing or blistering. Trainer Healev will start tho spring racing with a string of sound and lit horses.
