! spring meeting OF the American Jockey Club is pro-
crossing rapidly, about one hundred being in exer
else at Jerome Park, and about many divided
between numerous other training establishments.
The Jerome Park Course was never In such complete
order at present and trainers there well salts
/ fed with the results Of their labors.
| In Mr. Babcocks stable the most prominent are
| Helmbold, Hamburg, Conductor, Daunter &c.
| Helmbold and Hamburg both seem TO have fully
covered from the merclless labors which they were
called upon to perform last year, ana are well ad
vanced in preparation, though carrying plenty or
flesh, to enter upon the rapid campaign which will
be embraced In the half dozen meetings advertised

Frank Ross, fine colt, sixteen hands high, by
Daniel Boone, out OF the famous Sigma; Saucebox,
Gny, or faultess form and fine Development and
Billy Williamson, big-little fellow, OF immense
muscular power ana fine points. They
are in good condition, though Frank Ross seems

little business has been done between their hackers,

hundred dollars upon the latter.
In Colonel McDaniels' splendid string OF fifteen
