GALLOPS AT EPSOM THIS MORNING.

Rain having fallen heavily throughout yesterday
afternoon and during the night the Downs were
unpleasant to the tread of the horse-watchers this
morning, and the air was chilly and damp too.
Showers also prevailed ; therefore all things.con-
sidered, especially as Achievement and Vauban
were still absentees, not having yet left their home
quarters, no wonder the attendance of on-lookers
at exercise time was short. As the herbage was
thick on the running ground, more particularly at
Tattenhain Corner, " the track " was by no means
injuriously affec'ed by the recent succession of
heavy rain, and, unless the " down pour" con-
tinues strong, the course will be in capital order to-
morrow, especially if the wind gets up. Still there
are symptoms of prolonged wet, and if the ground
becomes heavy, the Derby chances of a great many
will not be worth a sous, though it cannot in the
least affect such animals as 'Vauban, Van Aniburgll,
Roquefort, Fitz Ivan, &c., who like soft laud and a
distance.

This morning the Blue Riband candidates that
exercised included the Amanda colt, Corporal.
D'Estournel, Dragon, Fitz -Ivan, Flying Scud,
Hermit, Julius, Leases, Lord Hastings, Man of Ross,
Marksman, Master Butterfly, Maid of Masham
colt, Nine Elms, Plaudit, Rus in Urbe, The Rake,
Rescue, Roquefort, the Teddington colt, and Tyne-
dale.

The Amanda colt and Ben Nevis were about the
first of these to show, but the latter appeared to go
lame, and the former did most work, galloping a
mile and three quarters at a good pace.
Watson set Lozenge to give Plaudit and Strath-
Conan three smart canters, and then a gallop of
over a mile and a half, Plaudit again sweating pro-
fusely. Strathconan is much improved in looks
and action since Chester.

The Corporal, Tynedale, and Minster Bell were
led nearly a couple of Miles by The Czar, and they
went uncommonly well. The Prelate pioneered
the rest of Tom Dawson's string, which consisted
of lona and Child of the Islands. The Corporal
goes uncommonly free, and, being fit, is a good
rough outsider for the Detby.
The Dragon and Leases each galloped very little
short of two miles ; and Liddington took Marks-
man along at a rare pace over a mile and a half.
Sealskin was busy leading D'Estournel and
Roquefort, and the three moved freely, there being
no symptom of lameness in D'Estournel when in
action. Mr. Saville's chance is not done with yet.
The Hermit was bowling steadily over the ground
with Problem and another, but he was never ex-
tended, and appeared nervous.
The Baron's lot attracted much attention, the
magnificent Hippia acquitting herself first-class, as
did Restitution and King Alfred. Jasper is in form
too.

Mat Dawson set Julius, and Flying Scud to fol-
low Sultan two smart canters, and then a mile and
a half gallop, Julius looking fresher and moving
more freely than he did in the Two Thousand.
Ninny, Nike, Speculum, Clemente, and lnnerdale
cantered, and subsequently galloped a mile
steadily.
Moulsey took Queen of Trumps and Lady High-
thorn a famous mile gallop, and the three then
trotted about.

Four of Lord Glasgow's Derby and Oaks horses
were at exercise, but we missed them ; and we did
not get to see either what Rescue did. Man of
Ross and Fitz-Ivan, however, went nearly two miles
at a fair pace.

Lord ilastings, after a deal of trotting and a
couple of steady cantering bouts, started off on a
mile and three-quarters' gallop, with Master Butter-
fly in his wake ; but the latter tired very much at
the finish, evidently from want of condition.

On the Leatherhead Downs Westwick led Grand
Cross and Taraban two nice canters, and Knight
of the Crescent took the latter pair over a mile. and
a half at rare §peed, and no horse could go better
than Grand Cross. IVestwick, War, and Klarinska
did a couple of miles. Merry and Wise had a mile
gallop.
Skirmish gave Gipsy King a long smartish canter,
after which Beeswing took the Derby colt a mile
and a half rt a rattling speed.
A lot of other horses were working, but none of
any note ; and the weather was so raw and depres-
sing that few troubled about any of the gallops
beyond those taken by the Derby and Oaks horses.
Amongst the three year old fillies we noticed that
Bounceaway, Skysail, Sur de Charite, and Sweet
Home were particularly busy, and went as well as
they looked.

The Rake was amongst Joseph Dawson's long
team, but he did nothing beyond trotting and
cantering about for half an hour, and then a steady
mile gallop. He looks very dull this morning, but
otherwise appears fit, his trainer evidently having
given him a most painstaking preparation up to the
time the colt broke a small bloodvessel in his head
last Friday. Since then he has been kept quiet,
and most of the veterinary surgeons here agree that
he MAY escape a repetition of the disaster, even
when passing through the severe struggle of to-
morrow !

Bamblekite, Vauban, Van Amburgh, and a lot
of others were hourly expected when our parcel was
despatched from Epsom at ten o'clock this morning.
