' (Br vuhktun.) - New York, March 22. When tiie horses for' the first race on the card at Bennlnga face' the starter Thursday afternoon the racing season of 1904 will be, formally opened In the east, antt un less all signs fail It will eclipse la in terest, in performance and In monetary rewards for the. owners of winners even the sensational season of 1903. There are more tried performers of great merit to run this season than for many years, and Judging by looks, the 2-year-olds will else up to those of past 'seasons. Already 'stable room is at a premium at Bennings, and the thrifty farmers In the country thereabouts will turn many an hone's' penny by running boarding houses for belated thoroughbreds. The Bennings Handicap promises to eclipse all former records, as far as the clans of the starters is concerned. It is not Improbable: that most of the prizes at Bennings will go to the New Orleans contingent - The hard winter has proven a serious handicap for the eastern horses, and ; few of them can be got ten Into -shape for the early, races. "'. Ti Enter Baoing1 Field. An Interesting piece or gossip reaches me this week to the effect that Edward ' H. Green, son of Mrs. Hetty Green, the richest woman in the world, is to go extensively Into racing.. He will not only have a racing string, so I am told, but will go extensively into breeding. Ho has long had a hankering li this dtrec- - tion, but until recently his inother, who Ms the head of the family, has put a veto on It. Now' that Mrs. Green-iias decided to make a campaign in society, and has purchased a Fifth avenue mansion and a , Newport cottage, she has seen where a table of racers may be of advantage to the family, and Eddie will get Into the game. 'There is no truth in the report that John D. Rockefeller contemplates ac quiring a racing stable. Even if the Standard Oil magnate had really con templated such a move he would hardly have withstood the objections of John D. Jr. --'... '-' . . McChesney will Hot Ban. McChesney will not run in the Metro politan Handicap. On account of the bad weather it has been impossible to get Big Mac in Condition to handle top weight so early in the season. The con ttaued bad weather is causing local trainers a great deal of anxiety, espe dally those who are desirous of. pre paring horses for the Aqueduct meeting. Both the Gravesend and Bheepshead Bay track are deep in mud. and the fre quent flurries of snow gives them lit tie chance to dry out. It begins to look now as If New pr;eansf horses wljl have a particularly gooa cnance to pick up - the earlier handicaps at Aqueduct and Jamaica, as 'well as at Bennings, unless conditions improve soon. V George Hendrie, the Detroit horse man, will be represented in .the eastern and western races this season by one of the best stable he ever owned. With lleservation. the 4-year-old son of Ca yuga, and Arragon at its head, and Red Robe, twice a Derby winner, besides a lot of fashionably bred 2-year-olds, this stable will make a strong bid for the many valuable-slake races. Toung Thoroughbreds. Under the care of John Walters Mr. Hendrie has in training at Cumberland Park a collection of thoroughbreds com prising ti head that is strong from the juvenile to the handicap division. He has no prominent candidate for Derbv honors but in the make-up of his string he has a number of 2-year-olds and older horses that will struggle for supremacy under the : "tartan Jacket" during the coming campaign. His 8-year-olds, how ever, comprise several that will prove bread winner. They are Cheboygan, St. Enoch, Good Cheer, Gearholm (a half brother to Claude),' and two others which, while not of Derby calibre, ap pear to be the making of good racers among the lesser lights. Kartla Sec lines Contract. Jack Martin, the Jockey, has finally .declined a renewal of his centract witfi' Wi B. Jennings, and has signed to ride for Andrew Miller andW. B. Leeds.
