berton and Brandy Apple for his immediate attendants, a
long interval separating them from Sinite, the rear
being whipped in by Sportsman. They ran with little
material alteration till after passing the stand, when
Brandy Apple took the lead, increasing it on the
far side to fifty yards. This had the effect of cutting down
his opponents, Sinite and Lord Douglas pulling up in the
Plough, while Cutler, completely pumped out, came to grief

VICTORIA CLUB BETTING.--THIS DAT.

The postponement of Croydon Steeplechases enabled
members to attend the Club, where, despite the wretched
weather. a fair muster assembled. The feature of the
meeting was the renewed attention to Proserpine for the
Chester Cup, for which the mare left off de-
cidedly the favourite. She was also named in ,con-
•nection with the Metropolitan, but in that direction
No actual business was done sinco layers refused; to

?ROM
TRAINING QUARTERS.

(THIS DAY.)

The majority of the horses engaged for the early
handicaps, as well as for the Two Thousand Guineas
and the Derby, have been driven to their straw beds,
snow having continued to fall, in some training dis-
Lriets, especially in the north, most heavily through-
out the present week. At the commencement of
the week the snow did not lie so deep, and
horses, by means of gutta percha pads to their
feet, to prevent " balling," were enabled to
still patronise the wolds, moors, and downs,
And take steady gallops. Now,however, trotting
and cantering exercise is about the extent of wha
they are set to do. It is very seldom, though, that
81101 V. stays long in this month, and we have no
Joubt training operations will be actively resumed
in the course of a day or two. The ground, never-
theless, will be in a heavy or rotten state for some
time. We are glad to report that the majority of
the important stables can show a clean bill
of health. At Richmond, Watson still places
implicit faith in Plaudit for both the 2,000
and the Derby, and also in Newland for the
Chester Cup. Wild Agnes has been fired for curby
hocks, but is all right again ; and Proserpine won
a great trial with the Lizard, which accounts for,
the advance of the Littleton mare in the Roodee
market. Marksman, though very forward, is not
likely to run for the Two Thousand, and The
Palmer is receiving a special Derby preparation, Sir
Joseph Hawley having every confidence that he
shall win the £50,000 bet about his colt beating the
Hermit for places in the Blue Riband conflict.
Miner has been going in his old form, and appears
sound again.
