-Priday—E:ae Gown, Lictor, and Madame
Eglentine filly 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
Per o Gomez acan'er of a mile and a quarter, followed by
Blue Gown and Rosicrucian at intervals. Vagabond led
Waife, Blue Stocking, Girasol, and Salamis a 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 mile and three-quarters.

the time of writing :—Pearlfeather, Morning Star, Per-
fume, 16bespierre, Mars, Knight of the Garter, ()lenience,
Jerry Hawthorn, The 2Egean, 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 Tire /Egan winning, and
Knight of the Garter will get a place. Dee Stand Cup.—
Acaster will win. Cheshire Stakes.—Grimston is well,
and has done plenty of work, and I need say nu more.
Dee Stakes.—We have Scimitar and Regale, and both are
well. The last-named is our best. Stamford Welter
Handicap.—Whichever Captain Machell runs will win.
Cestrian Handicap.—Tramp will win. Stewards' Cup.—

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
shell 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 iu the Marquis of Westmiuster's Plate, but
will not run, and the same may b 3 said of Roderick Dhu
for the Produce Stake&.

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, Cruiskuen, colt
by Marsyas out of Symmetry, Remus, and a filly by Scot-
tish Chief out of Lioness. Patrician is in the Eatou Plate,
and I think he will take seine doing for that. Wilton
Cup.—The Sawyer, E‘lith, mid Ag6-e.oratr are iu, and if
Tue sawyer could be trusted, 111, I think, would be our
bast. Palatine Plate.—We have Re;aus and Chmsepot,
and if b Ali should run Remus w.ll be tha best. Chester-
field Stakes.—Midshiplitau, Pladda, and Giantess are in,
and I Lite Giantess the best of them.

MIDDLEIIA.m.-111 flu) Pavilion StAes at Ch •ster, Daw-
son has Lady llawthura au! Detv,mtio engtged, but I
think neit;.er thedi will run. Caes er1.1.1 St tkes-
31ysotis or Arg; le w.ll win, and the latter has an allow-
ance iu tie s:ewards' Cup, for which he has a great
chance. Wyunstay Ilandie.tp—ll.in !sty and Lord Haw-
thorn are iu. Both are w,ll, an 1 the latter will win, if
sent. Chester Cup—Mandra.:ie, Cross, Pomfret,
and V.usittart are all tit and well. I f ncy Mandrake
will be the best of our lot. This ho:ss has wiutored w,ll,
and will be very bad to beat. Good Hope, althoagh ho has
now commenced work, has been off too lo g 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 lleuriett • and Lord hawthorn are well in the
Cheshire Stakes, and the first-natned will about win.
Mysotis will be our best fur the Mat quid of Westiniuster's
Plate, for which he has a great chutes, as I think he is a
good horse.

TRH NEW RACE COURSE AT CORK.—An admirably-
executed sketch of the new race course on the park by Mr.
Stopford, a well-known and olever townsman, has been

of the many advantages secured in laying out the ground,
aid in giving an impetus to to the move-
and must largely
ment in favour of the laces.
BTH HUSSARS STEEPLE CRASES.—An objection having
been lodged against Mr. Cotton's A.D.C., the winner of
