NEW YoRK, Dec. 2s.-rSpecial Core
spondence. THE year 1892 was brilliant
one for turf men, although the Jockey
clubs found ii by no means IS remunera-
tive as the stirring seasons of 1890 and
1891. During the coming week the entries
Tor the Brooklyn and suburban handicaps
are to be announced, and with tine OPEN
ing of the winter books on these two great
events the judgments of the men who
follow the turf will be chronicled.
There will undoubtedly be division
of interest, for the great purses offered in
Chicago are bound to attract the best horses
to that section. and yet the arrangements
for running the big events of the East
are such that there will be no serious in
ference as to time with the Western races.
This may save the season for New York.
The subscriptions to the two events have
been raised to $780, and this has had it's
anticipated effect in making the entries
smaller than they have been in the past
few years, but Of quality which augurs
well.
The old. familiar names will be an
nounced this week as they were about this
time last year. but Tea Tray and Tenny
will not be mentioned. and that will be
makers as well as for the sporting public.
Mr.. Pulslfer has taken his great horse to
feed on the 'fat of the land" down in the
Blue Grass region and to do service for the
turf of the years to come.
Marcus Daily has felt the flush that
comes with great "win," and he is after
the Suburban again this year with per-
haps a greater horse than Montana, his
To- Ek1n IL -
the handicap also. Green B. Morris will
be on hand with both Judge
Morrow and Strathmeath, and there
are indications that the horses will be
in the pink of condition at the word GO"
1t must be embered that Green B. Nor
ris overlooks no bets and has established "a
reputation which entities his entries to
the most earnest consideration. Judge
Morrow will undoubtedly start a prime
favorite on the winter books, and
Strathmeath will be within hailing
distance. Then there is Pierre LoriI-
lard. who has Locohatchee and Lamp
lighter. and Michael Dryer comes in
with Banquet. Waicott and Campbell
will have Pessara entered, q hard horse to
train, but a splendid animal when in con-
dition. J. w. Rogers, with Pickpocket,
ana Gldeon ana Daiy With his Hlghness,
promise to make a good fight for the big
stakes. His Highness has had long rest,
and his trainer. John Hyland, expects
him to make an excellent showing.
Among last years 2-year-olds were a
number of very promising animals. Most
of these will be entered in the big stake
events with every prospect of standing
we'll in the books. Sir Francis, Don
Alonzo Sir Walter. G. w. Johnson, DR..
Rice, Prince George and Lady Violet all
attracted attention last season. and they
will be not alone in for the great stakes
this year, but for all the rich 3-year-old
events on the programmes OF the big asso-
Citations.
The East will not catch sight of Owner,
Jockey and Trainer McCafferty until late
in the season, so his horses need hardly
be looked for in the entries to be made
public this week. Undoubtedly Aloha
would repeat some of her brilliant per-
formances of last year. Racine is
looked for on the books. and will stand
well. Yo Tambien is going TO be kept in
the West, for there are some rich stakes
there which that fine animal can easily
capture, and it is doubtful If the salt sea
breezes Of the East agree with 'Io."
Moretio will be missed from both events.
for there is no hope of reinstatement for
