MALTS TRAINING WORK CM Gallops the Rule With Trainers at Belmont Park. JBtables Rapidly Filling UpTime Supply Heads Carreaud String, Which Arrives From the Coast. -4 : NEW YORK, N. T., April 8. A high cold wind, the forerunner of a storm, swept AorSss Belmont Park yesterday morning and slowed up training operations. Dust clouds, caused by the winds, made conditions uncomfortable and trainers decided against fast trials. However, many useful gallops were noted during the morning on both the training and main tracks. The stables at Belmont are rapidly filling up and by next week, midseason conditions will be apparent. Yesterday morning the horses owned by F. A. Carreaud arrived from Bay Meadows and were bedded down in the stalls that were set aside for them. Time Supply, headed the stable which included eleven others. The shipment across country from the coast was uneventful and after a short rest, the horses will be returned to active training in time for appearance at the Jamaica meeting. , Word from Columbia, S. C, stated that a special train destined for the Nassau County course will leave there Tuesday. Eight or nine cars would be required to handle the shipment, one of the largest to leave the South Carolina wintering ground in years. Heading the parade is the Brook-meade Stable, owned by Mrs. Isabel Dodge Sloane. Five three-door cars will be required to handle this pretentious stable, which .boasts seventy odd horses in training. Bob Smith, chief trainer for the Brookmeade Stable will move his charges into the recently acquired W. R. Coe stable which now proves too small to accommodate the band. The others will be quartered in the stable which was built for the late G. A. Cochran and now occupied by F. Ambrose Clark. One side of this covered in stable will be retained by Clark. The two stables are situated close to each other, separated by a roadway, known to Belmont Park regulars as millionaires row. George Odom, who is training the Marshall Field-R. L. Gerry horses, wired his assistant Bill McKnight, that he would ship one carload to Belmont which was sched- uled to arrive on Wednesday. This will be the first departure of those two stables from Columbia. One other car will leave later in the week. McKnight has completed arrangements to receive the horses. The winter division which Odom raced at Miami for Field and Gerry is at Belmont Park. These horses, reinforced by three which were turned out during the winter in Virginia, will be campaigned during the Jamaica meeting. Odom will take complete charge of the combined stable upon his arrival, which is scheduled for the latter part of the week. Jockey M. Winters, under contract to Odom, left Miami for Columbia, where he exercised those that wintered there. This boy will be on hand for the opening of the metropolitan season. Preparations to receive one car shipped from Lexington late yesterday morning with a division of the C. V. Whitney horses were completed yesterday. Jack Healey will handle this division, while his father will campaign a dozen or more at Bowie and Havre de Grace. Other arrivals from Columbia, which are due Wednesday or Thursday, are George Phillips, with the Maemere Stable, Max Hirsch, with the M. L. and A. C. Schwartz horses, Frank Hackett, with those owned by Mrs. John Hertz, arid the Buxton Brothers with the J. H. Louchheim horses. Bob Smith, according to word received here, will ship the entire lot to Belmont and later transfer some to Havre de Grace for the stakes to be decided during that meeting. Cavalcade, it is understood, will be routed direct to New York. Recent arrivals at Belmont from winter points are H. P. Headley, the Peconic Stable, in charge of Eddie Hayward, Holly Hughes, with the Sanford Stud Farm horses which were wintered at Amsterdam, N. Y., John Schorr, with the W. J. Ziegler and Middle-burg Stables from Virginia, S. Burnside, with several owned by Mrs. Melanson, of Boston, Sammy Smith, with the Dorwood Stable, and G. H. Bostwick lot, and Fred Hopkins with the Sage Stable. The latter two wintered at Aiken, S. C, and are advanced. Track superintendent Boyle of Belmont Park stated that the work of the new sixty-stall barn is ahead of schedule and will be ready for occupancy within the next few days. Stable room in this structure will be assigned to transients, and space has been alloted to owners and trainers who are regular patrons at the Nassau County course. During the morning hours horses trained by Sammy Smith, Normal Tallman, Vince Powers, Andy Schuttinger, Bill McKnight, Frank Groshe, Fred Hopkins, Matt Brady, Jim Healy and others, were either galloped or breezed. Healy confined his work to two-year-olds and ordered several sets to step along four furlongs in :54 seconds. This work was done on the main track in the face of the high wind. The other trainers used the training track.
