PLENTY OF RIDERS.
Jockeys Arc More Numerous Than
Ever Before In the East.

New York, April l9.-NcNcr III tine
history of the East has there been 81
many competent riders at this season
of the year. There is simply flood OF
them. and had owners not been too
hasty in engaging boys early they
would now have Il chance to select Il
good. available one Mcdaniel is riding
in the best form he has ever shown.
Monte Preston is as good lightweight
as there is in the country. and Lowe.
Swain, and Mountain are as desirable
lads as any owner or player would want
to depend on. OF course Miller will be
tine prime favoritc during the season,
but, at the same time. he will have to
get better gait on him than he is now
showing.
Jockey John Bulman is one of the
additions to the craft. He Is at one of
the local courses and will be in shape
shortly. Bullman has always been not
cd as the best rider of two year-oldS in
the country, and last summer at Seattle
and during the winter at Ascot Park
he displayed all of his old-time form.
Bullman is temporarily in charge of J.
j. Walsh, but is seeking an engagement
with one of the large stables.
Swain has been riding less than
year. and was educated to the saddle
by the old-time rider Johnny Murphy.
The latter has been training for some
time, and, seeing possibility in Swain.
he gave him every opportunity. This
winter in the Southern courses Swain
did well and rewarded Murphy for his
efforts.
