RACING PROsPECTs FOB 1873.

The racing season for 1875 promises TO
be the most brilliant in the turf annals Of
this country. Never before were there so
many horses in training as now, and never
before were there so many good ones Of all
AGES. In the vicinity Of New Y ork there
are some two hundred horses being pre-
pared for tie campaign. The season opens
with the meeting in New Orleans in April,
then comes one at Nashville, and in May
two come of in Kentucky-that at Lex
ington under the auspices Of the Oldest,
that at Louisville Of the youngest, racing
association in the United States. Then
comes the Baltimore meeting also in May;
that at jerome Park in June, the Long
Branch in July, and those at Saratoga IN
July and August. So the horSes viii have
plenty to do before they get a let-up,
and the man who follows them and picks
the winner often enough will ind that
.'there's millions in it."
One reason for expecting so much good
sport this season is, that last year there was
no two or three-yeaT old so superior to the
others that the winner Of this years stakes
can be picked out with almost certainty, as
was the case in BaSsett's, Joe Daniels and
Bowling's years. The three-year-Olds ran
well together, and it was only in the fall
that two, Acrobat and Vandalite, showed
any marked superiority. From such tried
good ones as Acrobat, Attila, Balankeel,
Stampede, GrinStead, Steel Eyes, Reform,
Brigand, Aaron PendletOn, Saxon Cm-
poIted), Dublin, Culpepper, Nandalete,
Bonaventure, Madge, Countess, Beatrice,
and Regardless, it will be difficult indeed
to choose the winner of the fOuT-year-Old
stakes and purses.
The tWO-year-Old colts ran in and out as
much as the three-year-Olds did, and
dozen owners feel sure they have the win
ner of the Belmont, Trayers and Dixie
right there in the stable. Hyder Ali,
Aristides, King Bolt, Radamathus,
James A., Chesapeake and Willie
| Burke showed The best public form.

compauv, and with a better temper might

] At SARATOGA. Besides the aforementioned

those FLYERS unknown to the world save

that run such fast private trials ''arOund a

| should have won the Dixie or Belmont, II
| Something good may come from this lot,
for good can come from Nazareth. The
old stsgers like Preakness, Mate, Fadla-
deem. Shylock, Lizzie Lucas, Katie Pease,
/ Whisper, DUnnybrook and SpringbOk viii
be on hand and ready to make any race hot
for their juniors. Altogether there has
never been promise Of such sport as IS now
given, and soon the early bird, VIII n he
| rises to look for the still earlier worm, Will
be astonished to find that many satin
coated thoroughbred has already been
breezed through the stretches under the
watchfuI eye Of that earliest bird, the race
| horse trainer.
