Jerome Park Notes.

John Hyland has kept his lot going, and
he will be ready TO race with the first Of
them. Radiant, who is even moro thought
Of here than French Park, is looking mighty
well, while French Park is not far behind.
A great deal has not been asked Of the latter
yet, but he has been doing slow canterlng,
and appears 10 rather like Il. As yet he
shows no signs Of breaking down, which Il Is
to be sincerely hoped he will not do. Old
Westmoreland looks big and stout, and Con.
nemara also looks well. She Is not quite 30
high in flesh as she was, and looks more like
getting down 10 racing trim. The Sensation.
Ferida flly was said 10 have shown a great
turn Of speed last fall, and now the same
report is out again. She has wintercd cx-
ccedingly well, and II the report is true
Hyland may have a race horse.
Mr.. Bathgatc's five two year olds are all
doing splcndidly, and as he has two Of the
much coveted Spcndthrifts among them he
Is considered to be In luck. The one hc got
from Owens, by Spendthrift-Doubt when
the latter sold out and ven TO Canada, Is an
exceedingly handy looking one, and he
should turn out quite n useful animal. He
Is In the best Of condition now, and appears
TO have grown considerably during the win
ter. The other .Spendthrift, out Of Janctte,
Is also a good locker, and Mr.. Bathgato has
great hopes OF both Of them. OF the other
three, the chestnut one by Luke Blackburn,
out Of Longitude, il about the most useful
looking one, although the two lilies. one by
Lyttlcton-M Justification, and the other by
Dan Sparling-E Excellence, are both quite
handsome young ladies.
Eph sncdckcr Is fully satisfied with the
way his lot have gone through the winter,
and all lac asks for now Is n moderate share
Of good luck, and lac is satisfied that lac will
win his fair share OF the money. Charlie
Drcux, who was the cause Of all Eph's
troubles last year, is looking particularly
well just now, and he Is expected to make
up Tor all he lost last year-a pretty
big job, but one that II Il thought he II
fully up 10. Marina, Nardcc, Goodloc and
Darlington are all doing nicely, aud they
have already had n taste of the track. OF the
two year olds the bay lilly by Runnymcdo-

that is what Is said here. Not by Eph, for
he says nothing at all.
