T1HE YEAR 1892 WAS A BRILLIANT
MI one for turf men. although the
wv jockey clubs found it by no means
u rom nerative AZ tho stir ing seasons OF
lS9O-91. During the coming week the en-
tries for the Brooklyn and Suburban handi-
caps are to DO announced. and with the
opening of the winter books on these two
great events the judgments of the men who
follow the turf will be chronieled. There
will undoubtedly be q division of in
tsrest. for the great purses offered in
Chicago are bound to attract the best horsei
DO that section, m yet the arrangement
for running the big events OF the cast are
such that there will be no serious interior
once az to time with the western races.
This may save the season for New York.
THE subscriptions to the two events have
been raised to $500, and this has had ita
anticipated effect in making the entries
tmaller than they have been in the past few
PEARS, but of a quality which augure well.
The old. familiar names will be an
bounced this week, as they were about this
slime last year. but Tea Tray and Tsnny
will not be mentioned, and that will be the
6rst strange experience for the bookmakers
ss we'll as for the sporting public. Mr..
Pulsifer has taken his great horses to feed
on the fiat of the land" down in the blue
grass region, and to do service for the turf
u the years to come.
Marcus DAILY has felt the flush that comes
with q great ''win," and he is after the Sub
urban again this year with perhaps a greater
horse than Montana. his Iammany. The
colt will be entered for the hsndicap also.
Green D. Morris will be ON hand with both
Judge Morrow n Strathmssth, and there
are indications that the horses will be in the
pink OF condition ut the word Co" 1t
must be remembered that Green b.
Morris oyer!ooks no bets. and has estab-
lished = reputation which entities his
entries to the most earnest considera-
4ion. Judge Morrow will undoubtedly
start n prime favorite ON the winter books,
q Strathmeath will be within haiiinR dis
taEcs. Then there ia Pierre Lorillsrd. who
has Locohetches and Lamplighter. and
Michael Dwyer comes in with BANQUET,
WRlcott d Campbell will have Pesssra
entered. a hard horse to train, but a splsn-
did animal when in condition. J. w.
Rogers. with Pickpocket, aud Gibson L.
DAILY, with His Highness, promise to make
good fight for the big stakes. His High
ness has had y long rest, and his trainer,
John Hyland, expects him to make an ex-
Cellent showing.
Among last years. two-year-olds were a
plumber of very promising animals. Most
6f these will be entered in the big stake
events with every prospect OF standing we'll
II the books. Sir Francis, Don Alonzo, Sir
Walter, q. W. johnson, DIR. Rice, Prince
George and Lady Violet, all attracted at
