TRAINING REPORTS.

STOCKBUIDGE.—At Northampton, in the Wakefield
Lawn Stakes, Figleaf, Canning, and the Grillade colt are
engaged. The first-named is our best, but Ido not think
she can win. Sweepstakes of 20 soya each, for two year _
olds—Blount Pleasant, Canning, and the Crucifixion filly
are in ; but I think very little of their chance just now.
Althorp Park States—Lady Louisa colt, Figleaf, Stan-
hope, Grillade colt, and the Crucifixion filly are in. The -
first-named is the best at present, although 1 cannot en-
terta'n his chance much fur this race, as ho has not dono
so well as 1 should like to have seen h:m de since he re-
turned from Lincoln. Sulby Handicap—Figleaf I think
ought to win.
Fixnox.—At Northampton, in the Great Northampton-
shire Stakes, we have ttnnping Girl and Cozoannt. The _
" Girl," to my mind, is quite put oat of court with her
weight, and I have yet to learn that Cocoanut can st,y
two miles. At the sam' titn.., I inu.3t inform your readers
that no two mares c.in be going or doing better. Whi:tle-
bury Stakes. —Cocoanut will like this journey better. .
Wakefield Lawn Stakes.—The colt by Ace of (flubs out of
Lemonade, The Shnuamite, and Guy Dayrell are in. I
can say uo more than that these are all well and doing
good work. St. Liz Handicap.—John Leech, the Vixen
gelding, and Cocoanut are in. John Leech is looking and
going well.

iIfiDNESFORD. —We have very few horses engaged at
Northampton. Orion and President Lincoln are in the
Spencer's Plate, and they are both fit to run. I fancy the
latter has a little too much weight on, but Orion is, in my
opinion, bigger and better than he ever was, and, accord-
ing to his running with Knight of the Garter last year, he.
will be in the front division. The following of our horses
have been doing good work :—Cliff's Uncas, Kiddermin-
ster, Melody, Dalwhinnie, Albion, Pyrenees, Agile, Venice,
Ettrick, Vermicelli, Bon Chevalier, Staffordshire Knot, a
filly by Neptunus, and Official Assignee; Hopwood's•
Wynnstay, Success, Surprise, Side Drum, and a filly by
The Lawyer; Saunders's Whinyard, horse by l3aldfaied
Stag, and the two year olds, and several of Eskrett's,
Wright's, and Palmer's.
STANTON.—At Northampton we have See Saw and the
Attack gelding engaged in the St. Liz Handicap. Should
the first named be asked, I think, with all his impost, ho
will land, as I son quite sure he was never in better form
than at prcrout..- hornet is in the Earl Spencer's Plate,
and I think is worth backing to win and a place, as tho
old mare is as fresh as a kitten. The following horses
have been rattled along the last few days:—See Saw,
Ampleforth, Salliet, Jeannie Deans, Parma, Nut Girl, At-
tack gelding, Fitz-zldam, Palmitine, Lady of Croome,
Lady Highthorn, Lady Evelyn filly, St. George, St.. Aids-
gate (by Oxford out of Candy, 2 yrs), Chamade colt, and
colt by Citadel out of Dulcibella.

KlNG3CLEM.—Thursday Snow fell during the night,
and it was a bitter cold morning, but with all this the same
team were again out. Soon after the usual time, on Can-
non Heath, Lktor opened the ball by leading Miami colt a .
slow canter of a mile and a half. Blue Gown piloted The
Palmer and Pero Gomez the same distance. Vagabond
and King Cophetua cantered as of late together. Nyl Gan
cantered by herself. Morna showed the way to Madame
Eglentine filly and Waif. Rosicrucian, Masterstroke, and .
Siderolite came in their wake. After walking a short
time all repeated their canter, with the exception of Side-
rolite. Tho 'following were then sent home: Master-
stroke, Rosicrucian, Morna, Nyl Gau, Madame Eglantine
filly, Waif, and Blue Stocking. Lictor led Miami colt a
half-speed gallop of a mile and a quarter, followed by
Blue Gown, leading The Palmer, Pero Gomez, and Side-,
rolite a good gallop of a mile and a half. Vagabond, King _
Cophetua, Tho Palmer, and Pero Gomez were never
doing better or going in great r form than at the -
present time. At Northampton we have in the St.
Liz Handicap Blue Gown, who, with 9st 41b, is very
well in, and would take a good deal of beating, but
should not advise any one to back him until they see
his number up. My present opinion is, be will not be re-
quired yet. Lictor is engaged in the Eirl Spencer's Plate
and he is not overburdened with weight. The distance
will also suit him, and should ho be backed by the right _
party he must run well ; but he is no great favourite of
mine, as ho is a roarer, and, not only that, has a will of
his own at times. No horse, however, can be more fit
than he now is. The Miami colt is on a small scale, but a
rare-bred one and a good mover, and will run very for-
ward in, if not quite win, the Althorp Park Stakes. The
Palmer is very fit, anr may go for the Trial, but up to the
time of nay sanding this report, I believe I am correct in
saving, only Lictor and Miami colt will go to Northamp-
ton from here. Friday.—The following horses did work :
- The Palmer, Blue Gown, King Cophetua., Pero Gomez,
Vagabond, Rosicrucian, Siderolite, Nyl Gau, Morna, Mas-
terstroke, Madame Eglantine filly, Blue Stocking, and :
Waif. Lictor and Miami colt did not gallop. Both are
vary fit, and will run well for their engagements at _
Northampton.
NEWMARKET. —The following horses, engaged at North-
ampton, have been doing strong work : -Friday, John
Davis, Blueskin, Miss Havelock, Robespierre, Aca.ster,
Marquis of Casabas, Miss Peddie colt, Bradgato, Birthday,
Eolus, Jerry Hawthorn, The Provost, Clemency, Chapel,
Royal, Pirate Chief, Bounceaway, Tornado, Ventnor,
Matilda, Islam, Brother to Chattanooga, Cores, Cast Off,
Perfume, Benevolt nce, Coup d'Eclat, Nelly Rose, Morning
Star, Miss Dayrell, Quality, Spider, Sister to Vede, Snow-
dr,,p, Miss Clratwicke, Succession, Grimston, Typhccus,
Vespssian, Brother to Ravioli, Lonnie, Profe,,sor Ander-.
son, Belpliegor, Reindeer, Dryad, Sagittarius, St Andrew, ,
and Yernuer. My selections are at Northampton -North-
ampton ihire Stakes, Blueskin awl Birthday; Stand Plate,
Bounceaway ; Delapre Handicap, the best of Chaplin's ;
Northampton Cup, Acaster ; Wakefield Lawn Stakes,
Sister to Veda. The Buckenham's dam filly has gone
amiss. Of the Derby horses Martyrdom has done nothing
beLides walking exercise the last three days, and I believe
there is a screw loose. Strathnairn, Rupert, Tenedos,
Abstinence, Hermione colt, Boulogne, and Wild Oats all
continue going on well. Wild Oats several of our New-
market professionals seem to be dead against, for what
reason I know not. No horse could have wintered better,
and he has always taken regular exercise. If he continuos
so they will be very lucky to find one to beat him in the
Two Thousand.

MIDDLERAM.—On Tuesday, Fubert sent Etoilc Filante
and Vansittart a rattling gallop of two miles. Lady Hen-.
riette led Pride of Erin, Netherwood, and Nectarine a nice•
steady gallop the same distance. Duchess of Athol gal-
loped by herself. Osborne's Pretty itihn and Minaret
went a rattler of two miles. King's Cross, Little Duke,
and Bertha wont the same distance at half speed. Pom-
fret galloped steadily by himself. Dawson and Tom
Bowline colt, Young Melbourne horse, Mandrake,
Brother to General Peel, and Drake's dam colt a steady
gallop of two miles, and Winter's Three par Cent. and
Woodbine went a good gallop at the same distance. H.
Hall galloped Networker three miles, and Dick two miles,
at half speed. The remainder of our horses did good mile
work. Wednesday.—Winter sent Woodbine a two-mile
gallop. Dawson's horses were only walking, on account
of the snow, which was two or three inches deep. The
rest of our horses did steady mile work. Thursday.—The
weather was again very rough, with heavy showers of
snow. Dawson sent his team the mile gallop thrice, his
Derby and handicap horses moving along first-class.
Fobert's lot did the mile thrice, after which Lady Hen-
riette, Vansittart, and Netherwood went the two-mile
gallop. Pride of Erin and Nectarine galloped the same
distance steadily. The rest of our horses did steady mile
work. We have Vansittart engaged in the Northamp-
tonshire Stakes. He is a strongly-made colt and a good
stayer, and should he be sent he might run well, but I
think he is not quite fit, as he blows hard after his gallops,
and four or five days of th 3 last fortn.ght he did very
little work, on account of the weather. Light Cloud has
gone to Peck's, at Malton, to be trained.
LAMBOURNE.—The only hoyes that I know of engaged
at Northampton at present are Kingsland, Sunstroke, Fugi-
tive, and the colt by Marsyas out of Symmetry. On Tues-
day the Russley lot were on the Hinton downs, and The
Parson led Belladrum a canter of something over a mile.
Sunstroke led the others a canter. After this the fog came
on so thick that nothing more was seen of them. Wednes-
day.—The Russley team, 17 in number, were out, viz.,
Sunstroke, Belladrum, Sunlight, Sunshine, St. Mungo,
Phoebus, ldston, The Parson, Miss Bayes, North Briton,
Disguise, Crocus, colt by Newminster out of Eltham's dam,
colt by Marsyas out of Symmetry, filly by Thormanby out
of Masquerade, filly by Dundee out of Zaidee, and the filly
by Lord of the Idles out of Lady Lurewell. They trotted
over to White Horse Hill, where they all did good work.
Belladrum had a good long canter by himself. Knight's,
Wetherell's, and Saxon's lots were on the Near Downs.
Thursday.—l saw nothing out besides the Russley horses,
as the downs were very hard with frost, and all these did
was trotting about. . _ _

-----
EPSO3I.-At Northampton we have, in the Stand Plate,
Warlike and Breach of Promise, but they will find the
company too good for them. Delapre Free Handicap.—
Marquis of Worcester, Warlike, Juanita, Onyx, and Glen
Stuart are in. I prefer Juanita's chance of this lot.
Northampton Cup Stakes.—Adolphus and Nutaition I
have no fancy for. Northamptonshire Stakes.—Glengar-
nock, Ackworth, Redcap, Gipsy King, and Arbaces are our
lot. As Gipsy King has undergone a most careful pre-
paration, and is very fit and well, he is worth a place in-
vestment, as be is sure to take his own part. Wakefield
Lawn Stakes.—Master Alfred, Dunphail, Pate, and Don
Quixote are in. I should think Pate will not run until the
Althorp Stakes, and I have no fancp for the other pair.
Wednesday.—Sulby Handicap. - Wedding Chimes will
win. Earl Spencer's Plate. Of Broach of Promise, Nanny
Thormanby. Antics, Bonnie Katie, and Malcolm, the best
of Mr. Head's trio will be accredited the winner. St. Liz
Handicap—We have Chivalry, Nutrition, and Glengar -
nock, the latter for choice. 20 Sort; Sweepstakes -Apathy
is our only representative. Althorp Park Stakes- Dun-
phail, Agate, Apathy, Sparkle, and Pate are ours, and the
latter will win if she runs.
