early la the aims has prod ground emaiderahly of late
pan, sad there are vary owners who are quite satisfied
with their hones if they eta get through a few two-retr-
ead stakes. J. Dames sad J. Orborae's stables have
imagist forth some of the moot nooses's' this rare of the
overrating yousgetrrs and Dirk Bonny is another. whip

eseileriss that be met Blink Boany on 31b worse terse,
showed se kiliag off, as he got u near as could have been
esposled. Oa the Friday Saunterer suffered an easy defeat
by Timbre at weights for age, and thus (supposing this
running, of coigne, to be cornet). the form of
the Me-year-olds so far was considered anything but
first-rate, as Theodora was sot known thee as each a
speedy mare. At the Shrewsbury Spring there were the
Leaguer Hall sad the Biennial Stakes,the moderate Peeping
Tom having the best of • more moderate lot for the former,
sad • " pet" on the Daps being upset for the latter, he
sever getting near the fist three—Kertch Chief, Sorceress,
and Anted, another poor trio. At Manchester Blink Bossy
gave Doable Gio'ster and Saunterer • decided hissing for
the Sapling Stakes, the latter running with her on 31b. better
terms than at Chaster; yet, I doubt if he was muted—at
any rate, be did not try his beet at the finish, beginning,
perhaps, to foal the 'Cuts of half-edosen severe struggles.

Improved greatly in looks, and he won cliverly ; but the

as he ought to have been before Saunterer, especially es the
latter was known beforehand not to be eo good u at Ches-
ter, while Magnifier was backed by his party with great
eeekcience. This is one of the many mysteries connected
with the enanieg of the present season. Magnifier had a
bed couple to beat in the Wilton Stakes, which he did
easily, and there was another fast one who ran during this
meeting—Queen But. She won the Mein Plate and •

with 61b. extra he made • very good attempt for the Weston '
Stakes, bat could not quite pall throsge, Pumas giving
Mr. Howard another victory, her fruits's* and the Gram
weight causing Lamboura to succumb by a head. The Vigil
did net get so sear the favourite as she did the previous
day, five lengths separating the pair, and ea that account
the running most be correct. Although eleven others ran,
there was hardly • goad hone among them. Harpenden
will sot see three suck clippers as Commotion, Alums, and
Tournament to contend for the Two-Year Old Stakes spilt
for many a long year. Nine others also ran ; btu they bad
little to do with the race, and Tournament hosing start,
Commotion and Adieus (510 e. Dana) had nearly all the
ten to themselves, the former winning cleverly by hat a
sea. Tournament, who made up his 'nosed well, wes a
geed third. Neither Commotion nor Tourmaline had
peevieuly bees out, sad when the former west to Sputa
the week following to run for the Woodc ate his chimes was
eliseet overlooked, Apathy having got too sear him with
bleposety to cause an stir, and odds were laid es Lus-
treless, who never looked better. Apathy was a better

ears, Lutheran turning the tables on Apathy (this
wee the first time they met sines the Warwick
Meeting) by three lengths. A moderate doses was again
all that eespeeed tte *eV .ced lot. After this

Tournament won the Two Year Old Stakes at the same
meeting, beating Queen of the Bast (the tavourite), Rabel-
