KINGSCLERE.—Thursday —Liam was again the first to
commence work, cantering a mile and a quarter by him-
-self. The Palmer led Pero Gomez a nice steady canter
of the like distance, followed by Siderolite and Rosicru-
cian. Morna led Madame Eglentine filly and Waif over
the same course, followed at an interval by Masterstroke,
Mrs. Quickly colt, Girasol, and Salamk Blue Stocking,
this morning, was restricted to walking exercise in the
hollow. Siderolite was sent to lead Pero Gomez and
Rosicrucian a canter of a mile and a quarter. Morna again
piloted Madame,Eglentine filly and Waif a second canter
of a mile. Morna led Madame Eglentine filly and Waif
a half-speed gallop of a mile and a half. Siderolite
led Pero Gomez and The Palmer a fast gallop
of a mile, when Lictor joined in and made the
pace good for the Derby favourite and The Palmer for
another mile, all pulling up sound and well. Siderolite
was stopped at a mile and three-quarters. This was one
of the best gallops I Lave seen done for some
time. Blue Gown, Vagabond, King Cophetua, and Miami
colt arrived from Epsom mid-day Thursday. This morn-
ing (Friday), seventeen left for Cannon Heath Downs
soon after 8 o'clock. Vagabond, King Cophetua, Miami
colt, and Blue Stocking did cnly walking exercise. Lictor
only cantered a mile and a quarter by himself. Blue
Gown led The Palmer and Pero Gomez the same distance,
followed by"Siderolite and Rosierucian. Morna led Madame
Eglentine filly and Waif a nice steady cantor of a mile,
followed shortly after by Masterstroke, Mrs. Quickly colt,
Salamig, and Girasol. It was fully an hour before the
same lot again repeated their second cantor in the same
order. After walking again in the hollow for a short
time, Morna was sent to lead Madame Eglentice filly and
Waif a fast gallop of a mile and a quarter, all going well.
Siderolite led Pero Gomez and The Palmer, at his very
best pace, a mile, where he retired, Lictor jumping away
in front of the other two, the three finishing a rattling
good gallop of two miles. Pero Gomez never going in
better form. No horse in training can be doing better at
the present time.

NEWMARKET. —On Friday morning the following horses
did their regular work :—Wellow, Ryshworth, Bradgate,
Vanicha, Yarmak, Reindeer, Gondolier, Nelusko, Perry
Down, Trocadero, Badsworth, Sycee, Royal Rake, Border
Knight, Scimitar, Martyrdom, Knight of the Garter, Bertha,
Spider, Court Card, Meteor, King Victor, The Provost,
Seville, Marquis of Carabas, Furious, Typhoeus, Typhon,

ton, Dryad, Misadventure, Riga, Lancet, Perfume, La-
blache, Wild Oats, Chatelherault, Franchise, Leonie,
Ptiuce Imperial, Clarion, Speculum, Jerry Hawthorn,
2Egean, Nyanza, Restitution, Rowsham, and Hermiono
colt. The three last-named went a good sweat—about
throe miles and a half.

STOCK.BRIDGE.—On Wednesday the usual lot were out
from Danebury, but only Cock of the Walk, Birdseeker,
Scottish Queen, Herald, Glenlyon, and Demidoff had a
canter. The other horses did only some walking exercise.
Tom Day had Dentelle, Reflection, Lady Raglan, Dick
Curtis, colt by Adventurer, Malaria, Lord Jersey, and
Boaster, and after cantering the first named three were
galloped about a mile and a half ; the others went about a
mile. On Thursday the same lot cantered again from
Danebury ; then H. Day got on to Cock of the Walk, and
led Scottish Queen a good gallop of a mile and a half.
Birdseeker went about two miles. Tom Day's lot out
were the same as on the preceding day, and all cantered.
Friday—The Danebury horses were only doing walking
exercise by the side of the Grateley-road for two hours.
Tom Day's lot cantered and galloped. Our One Thou-
sand and Oaks fillies, Scottish Queen and Dentelle, are
doing as well as it is possible for them to do, but Miss
Foote is doing nothing, so she can have no chance for
either race. Birdseeker is also doing well for the Chester
Cup. He has commenced taking long work of two
miles, and if he continues to do well he is sure to take
his own part.
