711A1NING REPORTS.

KINGSCLERE. -Friday—Blue Gown, Lictor, and Madame
Eglentincefilly arrived home, and this morning joined the
other horses at exercise on Cannon Heath, where Lictor
and Madame Eglentine filly did only walking exercise.
Masterstroke commenced work by leading Mrs. Quickly
colt a steady canter over the side hill. Ambitious led
Polo Gomez a canter of a mile and a quarter, followed by
Blue Gown and Rosicrucian at intervals. Vagabond led
Waife, Blue Stocking, Girasol, and Salamisie. nice steady
canter of a mile. All then went to the Litchfield downs,
where they did good healthy exercise for a short time,
when all again cantered but the three that returned home
last evening, who only did gentle exercise. Soon after-
wards Ambitious led Pero Gomez a steady gallop of a mile
and three-quarters, the latter going well. Vagabond and
Rosicrucian galloped together a wile and three-quarters.
Ersom.—At Chester, Malcolm, in the Eaton Plato, is the
only one we have engaged at present on the fiat day. If
he is asked he will land this. Weduez6day—ln the Chester
Cup we have Cecil, Redcap, Ackworth, Bonnie Katie,
Powderh•un, and Lopez. Of this lot the four last-named
have no chance.

NEV:MAItKET.—The following horses aro engaged at
Chester, and have been doing plenty of good work up to
the time of writing :—Pearlfeather, Morning Star, Per-
fume, Robospierre, Mars, Knight of the Garter, °lenience,
Jerry Hawth ,rn, The lEgean, Rattletrap, Border Knight,
Grimston, Scimitar, Regula, Tramp, Sagittarius, Cham-
pagne Charlie, The Orphan, Vespasian, and Master
Walter. In the Eaton Plate, Perfume is our best. Welter
Cup. This looks well for Robespierre. Tradesmen's
Plate.— I feel confident about The Egean winning, and
Knight of the Garter will get a place. Dee Cr:and Cup.—
Acaster will win. Cheshire Stakes.—Grimston is wall,
and has done plenty of work, and I ncod say no more.
Dee Stakes.— We have Scimitar and Regula, and both are
well. The last-named is our best. Stamford Wolter
Handicap.—Whichever Captain Machell runs will win.
Cestrian Handicap.—Tramp will win. Stewards' Cup.--
Knight of the Garter or Vespasian will win.
STOCIUMIDGE.—This day (Friday) the following were
out, and all cantered :--Red Rice, Birdseeker, Blucher,
Prince of Wales, Oliver Cromwell, Lady Louisa colt,
Demidoff, Canning, Stanhope, Roderick Dhu, Glenlyon
Yule Cake colt, Torment colt, Betty, Calypso, Foundling+
Vibration, Lucy Bertram, Amazon filly, Mount Pleasant,
and Miss Foote. Then Miss Foote was sent a mile and a
half gallop by herself at a good pace. John Day has been
at Newmarket. Next week, at Chester, Ido not think we
shall have any go. Eaton Plate—Betty is in, and would
win if she were sent. She is also in the Flying Handicap
and the Combermere Plate, but as Lord Westmorland has
several more engaged I cannot think she will go. Cock
of the Walk is in the Marquis of Westminster's Plate, but
will not run, and the same may be said of Roderick Dhu
for the Produce Stakep.

LAMBOURNE.-At Chester we have the following horses
engaged:—Patrician, Aggravator, The Sawyer, Edith,
Pladda, Midshipman, Giantess, The Parson, Russian Bear,
Disguise, colt by Newminster out of Eltham's dam, filly
by Defender out of Amazonian, Choice, Cruiskern, colt
by Marsyas out of Symmetry, Remus, and a filly by Scot-
tish Chief out of Lioness. Patrician is in the Eaton Plate,
and I think he will take some doing for that. Wilton
Cup.—The Sawyer, Edith, and Aggravator are in, and if
The Sawyer could be trusted, ho, I think, would be our
best. Palatine Plate.—We have Remus and Chassepot,
and if both should run Remus will be the best. Chester-
field Stakes.—Midshipman, Pladda, and Giantess are in,
and I like Giantess the best of them.

MIDDLEII/131.—1n the Pavilion Stakes at Chester, Daw-
son has Lady Hawthorn and Derveutio engaged, but I
think neither of them will run. Chesterfield Stakes—
Mysotis or Argyle will win, and the latter has an allow-
ance in the Stewards' Cup, for which he has a great
chance. Wynnstay Handicap—Honesty and Lord Haw-
thorn are in. Both are well, and the latter will win, if
sent. Chester Cup—Mandrake, King's Cross, Pomfret,
and Vansittart are all fit and well. I f,.ncy Mandrake
will be the best of our lot, This horse has wintered well,
and will be very bad to beat. Good Hope, although he has
now commenced work, has been off too log to have a
chance of winning. Three per Cent. and Honesty are
both well in fur the two welter races. The first-named is
best. Lady Henriett I and Lord Hawthorn aro well in the
Cheshire Stakes, and the first-named will about win.
Mysotis will be our best for the Marquis of Westminster's
Plate, for which he has a great chance, as I think he is a
good horse.
LEWES.—At Chester Drowitt has several two year olds
engaged; Scarboro' in the Mostyn Stakes, Prince Leopold
in the Cheshire Produce, and the same cult in the Two
Year Old Plate; Ironstone in the Belgrave Stakes, and
Elsham in the Badminton Stakes. Drewitt's two year olds
have performed so indifferently at present that I cannot
recommend any of the lot to be backed.

Uucas has been struck out of his Chester, York, Doncas-
ter, Ascot, Manchester, and Newton engagements.
Pretender, accompanied by his clever trainer, Thomas
Dawson, left Newmarket ior Middleham on Thursday
morning.

The defunct Ferias. had no produce after Pretender, as
she was barren in 1867, and net covered in 1863.
Gondolier has gone to France, and will nut run in the
Chester Cup.
Ironmaster was struck out of his Chester engagements
after suffering a d_-feat at Newmarket on Friday.

satisfactorily in connection with the forthcoming race
meeting at Glasgow. It will be held on the d,y (not yet

some of the leading gentry in t.e West of i'cotlaud. Ope-
rations are being actively pros:•cited on the ground at
Kelvioside, both as relates to the course and the provi-
sion of Grand Stand and paddock accommodation.
both the first and second horses for the Two Thousand
are entered for the North Derby at the approaching New-
castle-upon-Tyne Summer Meeting.
We hear on good authority that Custanco will ride
Lades in the Derby, and probably become first jockey to
Lord Rosebory.
We regret to state that a stable boy was thrown while
riding one of Mr. Batsou's horses at exercise on Wednes-
day, and he died on the following day.

SALISBURY RACES.—The Old Castle Stakes, the Craven
Plate, the Stonehenge Plate, and a Handicap, three. guar-

of the way in which Kenyon rode the Russley champion
in the Two Thousand, ho has begged to be released from
his engagement for the Derby.

RETIREMENT OF THE DUKE OF HAMILTON.—It will be

seen that this young nobleman ran nothing at Newmarket
during the week, and we hear that he will not alter his
determination to retire from the English Turf.
Aintree, after winning a Selling Sweepstakes at New-
market on Thursday, was claimed by the Duke of New-
castle for Mr. Drewitt.

the ages of Mr. H. Hawes's Fausse Alarme, 2 yrs, and

THE NEW RACE 001IRSE AT CORK.—An admirably-
executed sketch of the new racecourse on the park by Mr.
Stopford, a well-known and clever townsman, has been
just published, whereby a correct estimate may be formed
of the many advantages secured in laying out the ground,
and must largely aid in giving an impetus to to the move-
ment in favour of the laces.

BTH HUSSARS STEEPLE CHASES.-An objection baying
been lodged against Mr. Cotton's A.D.C., the winner of
the North British Grand Military Chase, on the ground of
an improper description, it being proved that he was for-
merly known as Silenus, by Knight of Kars, the stewards
awarded the stakes to Mr. J. Douglas, the owner of the
second horse, Neil Gow.
