New YORK, Feb. 3.-For perhaps the
first time during the winter the trainers OF
race horses at Gravesend, Sheepshead and
Westchester were reduced to state OF
complete idleness by the frost yesterday.
The great wave of cold which prevailed
over nearly every part of the country did
Its word with such effect that yesterday
morning every road, lane, footpath and
field in the outskirts of New York and
Brooklyn was almost covered with a
thin coating of snow and ice. Only few
horses now are exerctied on Sheepshead
Bay track, the most important stable in
the neighborhood being that of Matt Allen,
who trains for Senator Hearst, whose stud
now numbers nearly twenty. Everyone in
the world of racing is familiar with the
green and orange colors of Senator Hearst,
which are Justly amongi;he most popular on
the track, and everyone sympathizes with
him In the long and almost unbroken series
of reverses which attended his efforts OF last
season to pluck some of the last years
plums and thus secure some return for his
lavish outlay. Moreover, the racing men
of all degrees were unanimous in wishing
the big hearted Senator better luck in lS90.
The substance of opinion expressed yes
terday by several persons who are familiar
with his stable, was that Senator Hearst
would experience this year marked and
favorable change in fortune. Gorge, on
whom all knowing ones have pronounced as
acertainty for the Brooklyn handicap, and
who would have troubled Raceland in last
years Suburban If she had not been ex-
hausted in thevain effort to cut down the
rest of the field, has, it is said, filled out
into one Of the finest looking mares ever
seen on the turf. She shows increased de-
velopments everywhere and now is a model
Of power and quality. Like nearly all OF
Aliens string, she is forward in condition
and can be ready for the Brooklyn handi-
cap If required. King Thomas, last years
40,000 purchase, who was such a complete
failure, has grown into huge three-year-
olds At the same time, however, he has
fined down considerable, and altogether
shows distinct signs of Improvement. The
general impression about him is that he
will be at his best in the spring races,
although it is doubtful whether he will
ever get even the fourth part of his pur-
chase money. The announcement of the
Bay Could colts unexpected Great Eastern
victory, partially dispelled the cloud of i'll
lack that hung upon the stable. He has
grown only little, standing not much over
fifteen hands, but has nevertheless de-
veloped into a handsome and powerful
three-year All professional judges
who have watched him at exercise arr
vehement in their praises of his lovely
machine like actions. Many hold the
opinion that he will this year be the bes
one of the. Senator's lot. That promising
son Of Spendthrlft has made all necessary
Improvement: now Anaconda fills the eye
as long, rangy colt, full of quality, ani
with hard wear and tear Loo. about hin
that suggests his ability to stand hare
work. Philader is yet ragged and back
ward, and will require plenty of time
while Ballart, who has developed into
gross looking horse, may win shor
races, Golden Horn and Cleaning, WIN
were repeatedly well backed last year, and
as regularly dumped their supporters int
deep hole, are both doing well, and Scat
ter, in particular, has grown into a racin,
FLY. Opinions regarding the merits of tn
two year-olds in the stable are prett
evenly balanced, though it is unanimousl
conceded that in Warpath and Fireworks
Senator Hearst has couple of tie mos
promising youngsters seen for many day:
