TWO-YEAPi-OLDS OF PROMISE W. R. COES NINE IMPORTED YOUNGSTERS THRIVING AT BELMONT PARK. Older Horses in the Stable Doing Well and White Hackle May Prove a Good One This Year — The Schwartz Jumpers. Ky Ed. Cole. New York. March 24. — 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. R. Cue will cut Sjaite a figure in eastern racing this year. Mr. Cue has nine Imparted youngsters at Belmont Park, all of which appear to have become thoroughly acclimated after a long and dreary winter in the stalls and sheds. Of course, nothing definite can jet be said of their value as race horses. .lire Carroll, their trainer, puts it this way: "They all seem to shape up well, but there is no telling 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 be until he has shown something. Thats the only way I can look at our lot. They seem a nice set of horses, some looking possibly more promising than others. I dont think we shall have anything ready for Maryland, unless it be limlico, and even that is unlikely. As soon as vve begin working them on the track and Johnny MeTaggart gets his leg over them we shall know more about them. Intil then they are as much of a mystery to me as to a stranger." Mr. Coe is one of the newcomers on the turf, his first introduction being as a subscriber to the Piping Bock Subscription, with the proceeds of which about fifty yearlings were bought. These were afterwards distributed by lot to the various subscribers. It was Mr. Cues good fortune to draw the good filly Election 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 broodmares, Which are located in New Jersey. Mr. Coe did not have decided success last, year with his horses, notwithstanding that he paid high prices for White Hackle and Hauberk. White Hackle was purchased by Mr. Coe late in the season and consequently did not have much chance to show his real value. He had. however, proved himself a fair sort of a horse before John E. Madden parted with him. having beaten Damrosch. Prince of Coma and others of their kind, before he passed into the possession of Mr. Coe. Mr. Madden always held White Hackh- to be a good colt, and if appearances go for anything, he will show ipiite sonic improvement this year over his last years performances. Hauberk may prove a useful racing tool for Mr. Coe. though he call hardly be classed with the top- notcbers. liis performances last year were in the I, -t company, but he was always in receipt of plenty of weight from horses like The Finn. Trial by Jury and High Noon. The remainder of the older division of Mr. Coes stable have not lone anything particularly noteworthy in their racing careers, but there is always a possibility as long as a horse is sound that there may be improvement. The following is a list of Mr. Cues imported tVO- y ear-olds: Black Eagle, blk. f. by White Bag* — Imperatrix. Farinioiid. ch. f. by Fariinan ZeitT. Hells Kells, b. c, by Royal Bealm -Red Hearts Pride. Jack Mount, b. c. by Amadis — Catena. Merry Thought, ch. f. by Cnclo - Mariso. Oration, ch. c, by Cicero— Fmbrosa.

White Hackle, Mustard, Jacoba. Bet. Neville II. and Janie. John Hastings has a stable of half a dozen junipers at Belmont 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 allies when talking about them. "I have six already" said Mr. Hastings, "and expect to get a few more shortly, including Duke of Dulutli. Big Sandy, Sow gay and two Imported Irish horses. Win n I get them all keyed up and ready for the Jumps I think someboil.v will have to turn out a pretty good horse to beal me. The imported marc Irimbut ton. b] Bachelors Button Gay Prim roar. has the earmarks of a good one. and if she carries wilh her the usual hereditary g.imeness of her sire she ought to win races. Of course, my horses are not all stars, but there will be plenty of steeplechases this year, and 1 ought to get my share with the material which I have. They are a big. line looking lot."
