Older Horses in the Stable Doing Well and Whito Hackle May Prove a Good One This Year — The Schwartz Jumpers, By K.l. Cole. New York. March 21. — If the two-year-olds that have been imported into this country live up to the anticipations of their owners, the string of imported youngsters owned by W. B. Coe will eut liiite a figure in eastern racing this year. Mr. Coo has nine imported youngsters at Be-lmont Bark, all of which appear to have become thoroughly accli-111. te el after a long and dreary winter in tin- stalls and sheds. Of course, nothing definite can yet be said of their value as race horses. .lore Carroll, their trainer, puts it this way: "They all seem to shape up well, but there is no tilling how they will turn out when they are- put to the- test. A horse-is a horse, and no one can tell just what he is going to in- until he has shown soinet hing. Thats the only way I e-an look at our lot. They seem a nice set of hemes, some looking possibly more promising than others. I dont think we shall have anything ready for Maryland, unless it be Pimlieo, and even that is unlikely. As soon as we begin wurking them on the track and Johnny McTaggaTt gets his leg over them we shall know SSSTC about them. Until then the] are as ninth of a mystery to me- as to a stranger." Mr. Coe is one of the iiewi-omers on the turf, his first introduction lit ing as a subseriber to the Filling Bock Subscription, with the proceeds of which about fifty yearlings wire- bought. These were afterwards distributed by lot to the various subscribers. It was Mr. Coos good fortune to draw tin- good filly Flection Bet, which won not only a big share of the subscription purse, but other stake.; and purses. It was this that gave Mr. Coe his first real appetite for racing, and he is now so devoted to the sport that he is not only racing a big stable of horses this year, but will eventually become a breeder of national prominence, having already imported quite a number of broodiaares, which are located in New Jersey. Mr. Coe did not have decided success last year with his bones, notwithstanding that ho paid high prices for White Hackle and Hauberk. White Hackle was purchased by Mr. Coe late in the season anil consequently did not have much chance to show- his real value. lie had. however, proved himself a fair sort of a horse before John F. Madden parted with him. having beaten Damrosch, Prince of Como anil others of their kind, before he pasaCd into tie- possession of Mr. Coe. Mr. Madden always held Whit- Hackle to be- a good colt, an.l if appearances go for anything, he- will show quite some improvement this year over his last years performances. Hauberk may prove a useful raring tool for Mr. Coe. though he can hardly be classed with the top-notehcrs. His performances last year were in the beat company, but he was always in receipt of plenty of weight from leases like The Finn. Trial by Jury and High Noon. The remainder of the older tlivFi.iii of Mr. Coos stable have- not clone anything particularly noteworthy in their racing cure* is. but there is always a possibility as long as a horse is soiinel that there may be improvement. Tin- following is a list of Mr. Cues imported two- ear-olds: Black Bagie. blk. f. by Whit.- Bagle— I— peratiU. Fariinonil. eh. f. by F.iriinan Zc ill. Hells Bells, b. c. by Koyal Be-alm Bed Hearts Pride-. Jack Mount, b. c. by Amadis- Catena. Merry Thought, eh. f. by I nolo Marina, Oration, eh. c, by Cicero Imbrosa.

White- Hackle, Mustard, Jacoba. Bet, Neville II. and laaie. John Heatings has a stable of half a dozen junipers at P.elmont Park belonging to Messrs. M. L. and A. C. Schwartz, with which he expects to make a showing this year, judging from the smile he carries when talking about them. "I have six already," said Mr. Hastings, "anil expect to get a few more shortly, including Duke of Duliith. Itig Sandy, Nosegay and two imported Irish horses. When I get them all keyed up and ready for the jumps I think somelioily will have to turn out a pretty good horse to beat me. The imported mure Prissbutton, by Bachelors Battoa Gay Prissroae, has the earmarks of a good one. and if she carries with I. or the usual hereditary gaatenesa of her sire she ought to win raics. Ol" course, my horses are not all stars, but then- will be plenty of steeplechases this year, and 1 ought to get my share with the material Which I hao. They are a big, fine-looking lot." The Hastings lot so far includes lrimbul t .11. Guardian Saint. Archtele, .1. M. Shannon. Pay Streak and a three fear dd l-.n fillv In Sir Wil- I nil Iollow On.
