OTHER LOTS THAT SHOW wELL~ADvANTAGEs
OF THE TRACK FOR TRAINING

In future be found mainly at Westminster onoc
the opcnng OF the new track OF great INSTANCES
large number of trainers who formerly had their
stables at sheepshead Bay have moved thclr horses
m westchester where MIR. Morris is apparently ac-
lively catering for this kind of patronage The reason
for this wholesale dcseron of shecpslead Bay Is not
far TO seek. The ground at Coney Island is low and
damp, and in winter much exposed Ihat at NesV
chester is HIGH dry and sheltered while there Is ever
n keen invigorating. pure breeze blowing right on
the Sound Add to this that Mr. Morris, putting
his track in active rivalry TO the arrangements of all
other tracks is offering every possible temptation TO
trainers in the way OF reduced rents,
improved stabling. and model dwelling houses.
and 1t will readily be seen that the older assocla-
tions-honored they deservedly among the
racing men.-wlll have to awaken to the changed
conditions, and that quickly, if they mean to hold
their own against their westchester opponent The
Westcheser course, too, by of its great SIZE
admits Of free exercise of large number of horses
at one time and in this respect it has big advantage
over its older rivals, which, particularly at race
times are inconveniently crowded.
The stables now at westchester include those of
Rogers. who trains for Captain S. S. Brown. and of
Charles Reed snedekcr. the Campbeus, James Gray
Forbes d. T. Pulsifer and number of Others The
excessively mild winter while it has enabled the
trainers to keep their horses in continuous gentle
exercise, has also had deterrent eject on the
development of the younger horses. especially the
two year ODDS, many of whom are extremely back-
ward OF all the horses trained in the immediate
neighborhood Of this city, those of Captain Brown
give the best promise and from what yester
day il is extremely likely that the consistent good
form shown by the captains representatives last
year will be maintained during the coming season
1t will be remembered that many OF Captain Browns
two yearods at that time, while coming last spring
from their headquarters in Mobile, were attacked at
iud ~
thrown up for the season. BY dint of the gentlcst
and most careful treatment, Rogers has been enabled
to bring them round into perfect health. and they
have now developed into a remarkably fine lot OF
three year-olds.
One that is bound TO attract the attention Of all
good judges is a grandooking dark bay son OF
Longfelow-Rosemary who is built the lines Of
a high class racehorse His superb quarters s'oping
shoulders short back. shapely head and neck. deep
body well set on legs like bars of iron, and his
generally fine bloodike appearance, stamp him as q
horse of high quality.
