SPEEDY TRIALS OF YEARLINGS IN EAST. New York, November 1. Among the Sunday morning visitors to Belmont Park was Schuyler L. Parsons, II. K. Knapp, W. B. Miller and Registrar W. H. Rowe of the Jockey Club. The clUof attraction was the trying out of the yearlings in W. II. Karricks big training barn. The track was in good condition. Trainer S. C. Ilildreth, who did not work any of the Belmont yearlings, was one of the most interested spectators present and, after seeing S. I. Riddles chestnut colt by Plaudit Elise I., and S. L. Parsons brown colt by Zeus Black Swan, work a quarter together, he told trainer Karrick that he was ready to pay ,000 each for them. The quarter was run in 22 and, while both were sent right along, the trial was regarded as a wonderfully good one. Other work-outs showed quarters as good as 23 seconds, with the youngsters ready to go on at the end and, in fact, everything shown by trainer Karrick Sunday morning created an extremely favorable impression. Two sons of Sir John Johnson, a bright bay out of Deviltree daughter of Imp, and a dark bay out of Quack, worked a quarter together in 22 and in good style, the son of Quack showing a trifle the better of the two. A. J. Joyner, acting for George D. Widener, has imported five valuable yearlings and one broodmare from England, all having come over on the Atlantic Transport liner Mesaba. The broodmare in question is the bay mare Catana, by Galeazzo Catgut. This mare is the dam of Mr. Coes good colt. Jack Mount, which also was imported to this country by Mr. Joyner, who sold him to Mr. Coe. When Jack Mount began to show that he was a really good colt. Joyner lost no time in buying his dam, but having done so, ho took his time about bringing her over. She has been sent down to Mr. Widencrs Erdenheim Farm, at Chestnut Hill, Pa. Joseph E. Widener had consigned to him on the same steamship two fine yearling fillies, which were sent over by Thomas Welsh, who has been acting for him on the other side of the Atlantic.
