Anybody paying visit to Morris Park or any
o,her prominent race course in the vicinity OF
New York Yesterday would he brought iorcibly
to the realization OF the fact that winter is at
our threshold. Tho stands are all boarded up
and nesrly all the stables have been enclosed
in order that the horses can take their work
under shelter from the wind, which was keen
enough yesterday for January.
Rucing will continue all winter at Gutten-
burg and Clifton. but there is vast difference
between the sport now and In the !eRiu-
mate season, While the weather IL clear
the Superintendent at both courses do
,,eryrhing In their power to keep the
courses In good shape, but there ID moth
ing edifying in the spectacle OF horses racing
with the Thermometer away down below
freezing. and tho jockeys running the risk OF
contracting pneumonia every time they accept
. mount. Still there Is abundant patronage
fer both COURSES, and both arc coming money
for their promoters. There are almost as many
horses in training now as In the summer tine.
and although mono OF the cracks are TO be
found, yet selling platers Of the highest order
are to be found both nt 0uttenburg and Clifton.
1t Is evident that Phil Dwyer intends to have
q strong stable next year, as his purchase OF
Bolero for $4,000 indicates. Congressman
kcott stated when tho colt was sold that IL
Boloro's wind was affected by his sickness
some mouths ago no would refund the pur'
chase money and take tho white.faced colt
back to Algeria. Nobody ever saw better
locker than Bolero. and Leighton. who trained
him. says that he is much better than he ever
showed In public. Thiriy-lve thousand dollars
