for sale, nine out of every ten horse
men believed that there would be no sepa-
ration, and that the sale was only weed
ing-out one. But time has proved tnat tue
separation and sale were both legitimate.
Whether Mr. Richard Croker is
Mr.. M. L. Dwyer's partner
or not, when the former visited Graves
end in company with Mr. Dwyer, they
looked over a stable rich in quality, both
in two-year-olds and old horses. There
are but eight of the former, but they are
grand looking lot and fashionably bred.
Foremost of the youngsters is unques-
tionably Dob bins, by MIR. PickWick, dam
the celebrated Thorax. The well known
trainer stated that he would not exchange
Dobbins for any race horse in America ii
he possessed him.
Coll Jacob Rupert, when he bought
the St. Blaise-Lady Primrose colt at the
sale of the late August Belmont for $3O,OOO,
was praised for his pluck by turfmen
present. out unfortunately the speculation
has turned out bad one. He has falled
in each of his trials 10 stay, contrary 10
his breeding, but has shown great aolllty
as a Splinter and last season could show
clean Lair OF heels to any horse in the
stabIeSeven Ajax himself for three fur
longs but failed to negotiate for halfsa
mile. This year he will be scratched
from all his stake engagements aud trained
exclusively for sprint races. The Two
year-olds of this stable are good LOOKING
lot. Some racing men are averse TO the
get of Longfellow ever making great two
Vear-olds. II ever this spell is broken, 1t
is the opinion of good judges that Col. Rup-
pert's brown colt by LonRfellow, Mazan-
eta, will do it.
C. Fleischmann and Sons. whose colors
were seen on the turf last season, nave
made up their minds 10 enter in earnest
this year. They have now quartered at
Gravesend twenty-siX horses, and up TO
the present time there has not been sick
horse among the lot. The youngsters are
highly bred and as good looking as any In
the East. Nearly every youngster has
shown that he could work with ease three
furlongs in thirty-nine seconds. Even
since the snow and frost set in the entire
string have been seen doing their daily
gallon over the snow bound and frozen
track.
Mr.. Pierre Lorillard's lot OF horses In
training this season will number thirty and
the stable win be the most powerful ever
owned by the master OF rancocss. In Loo
ohatchee. Lamplighter and La Iosca ne
has an almost invincible trio
Green Morris has not added much TO his
stable His main dependence is on Judge
Morrow and Strathmeath in the handi-
caps. In his two-year-olds he has lilly,
full sister to Strathmeath, which horse is
named Stratfower.
From a numerical point of view the
strongest stable this season will be that OF
J. A and A. II. Norris. They have both
English aud American bred horses in the
two-year-Old division. In the stakes the
can scarlet will have full representation,
but the quality Of the youngsters is yet 70
be determined.
Phil DIVER will have a dozen horses in
training this season, the best known being
Leonawell, Reclare, Zorling and fremont
He has not far from twelve In the two-year-
cid division including brown colt by Ire
mont and other well bred ones
Entries made 10 the big western races 10
be run at Chicago next summer, Indicate
that a good many horses owned in this city
will go TO the windy city" for chance al
the rich stakes. Among the horses entered
for the two big handicaps there, the Co
lumbus and the Wheeler, are lot OF hors-
es that were expected to race here IN the
east exclusively. This is surprise
TO the managers Of eastern tracks
who had expected no such showing and they
will have TO stir themselves 10 keep the
horses in the East One reason for the
evident desire of the eastern owners 10
race in the West is the sact that they do
not fancy the handicapping here, and there
is 10 doubt there has been good cause Tor
complaint.
Tie list of entries secured by Col Tom
Ochiltree in England for the stakes Of the
Coney Island ana New York Jockey Club
has arrived.
The Coney-Island jockey club received
forty-nine additional entries 20 the futur-
ltv. making the total for the futurity Of
1895 ,O92 entries. There are i've entries
for the metropolitan handicap thus max
ing the total sixty-six. For the New York
Jockey club handicap three are entered for
the Toboggan Slide five and for the All
Breeze four. IL can hardly be figured that
on their English form any Of those horses
have much chance of pulling Of the rich
stakes in which they are entered, but the
compliment from English racing men IS a
higH one.
4 pioneer shipment Of American trOtting
horses has been taken 20 Germany Tnir-
teen well bred horses in charge OF the well
known drivers, john Spla7 aud George
Ketchum, Of Toledo, o, have been taken
10 Berlin to be exhibited, with view 70
selling them and furthering the interest
already manifested in the American trot-
ting horse. The horses were bred on Mr..
Eetchem's Ohio farm.
