rapidity, and since about noon readings in the north have recovered
8-10thsof an inch. In the S. of France a fall has occurred. The
lowest pressure is now in the S.E.—that at Cape GrisNez being 0.42 in.
lower than at Valencia. Temperature has decreased generally. except
in the S. of France, where a rapid rise is reported. The N.W. gale
extended down our N. and E. coasts during yesterday, and fresh to
strong winds from the same quarter are felt at other stations. Wind
Is now N.E.—light in Scotland and Ireland, but blowing a gale in the
E. In the S. of France strong westerly winds are reported. Weather
has been generally dry, and is now finer than of late. The sea is
rather high on the E. coast. Warnings were issued to our N. and E.
Coasts yesterday morning.

TRAINING REPORTS.

----.,NOw•-

KINGSCLERE.—Wednesday A hard frost, with a healthy
morning.. Lictor, Miami colt and Blue Gown will be very
fit by Northampt in, but I shall speak more fully of their
c'.ances in my next. Thursday.—The Palmer led the
Derby favourite, Pero Gomez, a steady canter of a mile
and a half. Vagabond and Madame Eglantine filly,
Wuife, and Blue Stockings, cantered nearly a mile and a
half, followed by Rosicrucian, Masterstroke, Siderolite,
and Mrs Quickley colt. After some wanting exercise
they repeated the previous work, with the exception of
Blue Gown, who led The Palmer and Pero Gomez a good
three-quarter speed gallop of a mile and a half. Vaga-
bond and King Cophetua galloped nearly two miles. The
fir:A-named I never saw go so well, the lad I eing unable
to hold him.
STOCKBRIEGE.—Sinca my last the following horses have
been at wink Rice, Calcave:la colt, Lady Louisa
colt, Yule Cake colt, Canning, Lord Chancellor, Demidoff,
Roderick Dlm, Torment cult, Mount Pleas.tut, Cal 3 p
Betty, Oossamer filly, Crucifixion filly, Lucy Bertram,
Boxana, Dione, Figleaf, and Atonethent '' Cock of the
Walk, Blucher, Itirdseeker, and Herald cantered on Thurs-
day, after having a dose of physic. At Warwick, in the
Sweepstakes of 25 sovs each. we have Figleaf, Calypso,
and the Grilled° colt in, but at the present I do not think
either can heat Sister to Veda. In the Two Year Old
Stakes, Figleaf, Calypso, Grillade colt, Stanhope, and
Dioue aro in, and the same remark applies as to the other
race, although I think one of them will turn out a good

animal in time.
EPSOM.—The result of the Liverpool running has
proved that the estimate I made of Mr. Studd's horses was
correct, as in your last Saturday's impression I told your
readers L. S. D. would win the Molyneux Cup, and would
not have Despatch at any price fur the Grand Naticnal,

which I repeated again on Wednesday. I have been
racing now for twenty-five years, and never did I know
of an instance of a great, coarse-limbed horse like De-
spatch, with a head as long as the, pole of a coach, being
able to stay four miles and a-quarter at anything like a
pace. At Rugby on Monday, Ada and Aurifera are in the
Gold Cup, and if Sir Charles Nugent trusts to Ada she
will win. On Tuesday, Balder, Ada, and Gipsy Girl are
in the Light-Weight Grand Military Sweepstakes, and
here Sir Charles should again be about winning.
MALTON.—Our City and Suburban horse, Consternation,
is undergoing a strong , preparation for that 'event.
The Whitewell team that are doing good work are Tara-
ban, War, Royal Oak, Kentish Fire, Thunder, Tolson
d'Or, Silver Baud, Nobleman, Tama, Goldsborough, Vis-
countess, The Spy, Clipper, Barna Bimbo, Fee:a is, and
Merry and Wise. Viscount, Westwick, My Lord, and
Tarna are only cantering.
11EDNESFO1tD.-1 know of nothing going to Rugby
except Daring Dick, and I should think he will run pretty
well, as he has beau well trained, both by land and water.
Barnabo is in the Warwick Handicap, but I think he is
not so good as he was. In the Trial Stakes at Warwick
we have Orion engaged, and he will take his own part.
Master Willie is in the Willoughby Cup, but I don't think
he can beat Belfast. Barnabo is in the Hurdle Race, and
your readers know his form. We have Official Assignee
in the Two Year Old Stakes, but he is very moderate.
Fan and Dick Turpin are engaged in the Steeplechase—
both came to grief et Liverpool, but from what I can
make out neither were hurt, and 1 fancy Fan will run well
over this course.

CHILTON.—At Warwick, on Tuesday, Virginia Creeper
Vigilant, and Maid of the Mill are in the Handicap Hurdle'
Race. Vigilant won't ma, Virginia Creeper is very bad
over hurdles, and the distance will be too far for " The
Maid." Osprey, engaged in the handicap, is taking some
rare gallops, and no horse can look or go better, and he is
sure 0 take ala of beating. Mimes is doing well for the
Tw9 Year Old Stakes, but he ha; to meet the clinking
Sisler to Veda, and Squib, by Ox'ox:d out of ,iulpht,r, 1
am sure was a smart tiliy before she left ()baton.

MIDDLERAM. —The frost con:lanes very severe in this
quarter, and has neatly put a stop to all training opera-
tions, but the following horses have been cantering and
trotting daily :—Dawsou's Tho Dean, Mandrake, Tom
Bowline horse (4 yrs), Young Melbourne horse (5 yrs),
Good Hope, Pretender, Lord Hawthorn, Thorwaldseu,
Dementio, Argyle, Brother to Gener..l Peel, Miss Sarah
colt, Drake's dun colt, Miustor Bell, Brother to Strafford,
Tabouret, ard tho two Maid of Mashatn fillies; Fobert's
Bracken, Fortunio, Vansittart,Mysotis, Netherwottd, Lady
Henriette, Java, Nectarine, Guiu63 11, and Duchess of
Athol; Osborne's \Veatherstar, King's Cross, Pomfret,
Bard of Erin, Minaret, Lion, and a lot of two year olds.
NEWMARKET.—The following horses engaged at War-
wick have been doing plenty of work. • Warwickshire)
Handicap.—John Davis, Silenus, Clemenco, Mi.s Have-
lock, Cheltenham, Robespierre, and Border Knight are in,
and Sileuus looks like winning. Wild Outs was put in
physic on Wednesday last, and was out on Friday morn-
ing, and cantered twice about one mile. No horse can be
looking and going better. Martyrdom, Rupert, Strath.
nairn, Ryahwortb, Boulogne, and the lien:alone colt are
all going on well.

ILsLEy.—At Warwick, Belfast and First Emperor are
in the Willoughby Cup ; th3y are both well and doing
good work, and I fancy the latter will be the best, and
will take a deal of beating if he rung. Hollandaise, in the
Sweepstakes, is at Liverpool, and her form there your
readers well know. We have lionti,!ur and Eugenie in
the Two Year Old Stakes; 1 like the Qrst-named the best.
Cap-a-Pie, Ligurian, Dick Turpin, Lady Ilyasso, Lady
Beaconsfield, Athena, and others are well, and doing goad
work for theft. engagements. Dalby and Viridis are well,
and doing steady work. Plaudit arrived here on Tues-
day night to be trained by Dover, and did steady work
this (Thursday) morning with the other horses, looking
fresh and well.

LAMBOURNE.-At Warwick, in the Willoughby Cup we
have Vulcan engaged, but his running at Liverpool is no-
thing in his favour, and I cannot see that he has any
chance of winning. This is all I can see engaged on the
first day, and the rest of the races will be attended to in
my next report. The following horses have done good
work :—Kingsland, Lady Rosrhill, Defender, Lady Diana,
Rahab, Lounger, Aggravator, Phoebus, Miss Hawes, The
Parson, Sunstroke, North Briton, St. Mungo, Crocus, Dis-
guise, Sunlight, Sunshine, colt by Marsyas out of Sym-
metry, Belladrum, and a lot of others that you shall know
about in good time. Belladrum still keeps doing first-class
work, led by The Parson.
RICHMOND.—Since my last very little has been done by
our lots, on account of the snow. On Tuesday, Elliott's
had their usual canter, and then The Prior led Ladas and
The Gleaner steadily two miles, while Caprera, Annie,
and Annie Stewart went the same distanc3 gently. East
Coist has returned home from Liverpool.

FINDON.— At the Warwick Meeting we have in the
Trial Stakes John Leech. On Wednesday, in the Two
Year Old Stakes we have the Shunamite. Great War-
wickshire Handicap.—Sister to Vedette, Warrington, and
the Vixen gelding, and they are all doing well. Our other
handicap horses—Romping Girl, Hermitage, Cocoanut, Xi,
Mermaid, the Plunger, the Ranger filly, Royalty, Auld
Lang Syne, Glenmasson filly, and Saturnalia—are going on
well, but the severe frost we had put a stop to their work,
and most of them had to be exercised on the roads and the
different straw beds.
