Marksman is restricted to walking exercise, and
that he only does for a short time occasionally.
Mirella and the Miss Ann filly are in long work for
the Northumberland Plate, but both are very mode-
rate.

A FEW LAST WORDS ABOUT Asoor.

(From our Special Turf Reporter.)

After the form shown by Hermit and Vauban on
the Berkshire heath it is patent that any odds almost
may be laid on the pair for the Doncaster St. Leger,
Achievement being a decided miler, Marksman
having a suspicious leg, and Plaudit being in the
hospital. With regard to the two-year-olds that
trysted at Ascot last week, it will be best to see
the Goodwood events entombed before plunging
too early on next year's Derby, though wo are
willing to admit that John Day's fillies are of a
very superior class, and Suffolk the best of the colts
so far, but we understand that the Danebury stable
has one in reserve even better than their Lady
Elizabeth or Athena, and we have exceedingly flat-
tering reports anent sundry other "darkies."
There were twenty-seven races contested during
the four days at Ascot, and no less than two hun-
dred and sixty starters went to the post. These
were owned by some eighty-nine different indi-
viduals, whose essays for the various prizes resulted
thus :

WEST DRAYTON MEETING-MONDAY.

West Drayton Races have become what Greenwich Fair
formerly was—the Londoners' Whit-Monday outing, and
what with the fine weather and the cheap railway fare
many thousands of holiday-makers were tempted hither to
witness the sports. Without entering into a tedious com-
mentary on the day's racing, we may remark that the fields
were good, the competitors of average quality, the contests
well carried through, the speculation spirited, and the
judge's decisions undisturbed by anything in the shape of
objection or squabble. Great praise is also due to the
management for the efficient manner in which the arrange-
ments of the meeting were carried out. Details are ap-
pended :
