Success OF THE HORSES OF THE PAGET STABLE
OTHER NOTES.
Turfmcn and tho patrons Of racing in the East
are amazed at the success of the horses owned by
William g. Within y and sydney Paget. The staDe
is managed by Mr.. Paget. and the horses are
trained by a man named Hogan. who is evidently
a skilfui trainer ana a shrewI ana astute judge OF
thoroughhreds. II ability IS measured by success
Hogan Is all that is required. Every horse that
has been purchased since the opening of the racing
season has improved wonderfully under ms tram
ing Moreover. he IS ski,ful rider. and Is capable
OF holding his own with any of the riders III th'
hurdle races and steeplechases. Hence he cannot
be hoodwinked by vapid explanations made by
Jockeys who ride suspicousy bunglins races.
Hogan is a newcomer to The trainers OF the East.
He has no liking for the pastimcs Of some or the
trainers who strut about the stretch in the morn
Ing with watch in hand and spend the afternoon IN
the b"iting-ring holding whispered CONVERSATIONS
with the cherubs that perch upon stools There are
many trainers who look with longing eyes toward
the Paget stable. while others who have thrNeu III
a more or less mysterious manner for many years
appear WILLING and anxious to act as the ADVISERS
OF Mr.. Paget.
The vast Improvement In Damien. M Clay MISS

eloquent arguments in favor OF Nj. Hogan. VINO mas

Is capable OF adopting American training method5
