THE ROYAL GATHERING IN BERK-
SHIRE.

(From our. Special Sporting Correspondent.)
ASCOT, Tuesday Morning.
The renewed rain of yesterday gave the "finish"
to a much-desired improvement in " the going,"
and the race-course is now in beautiful condition.
We never recollect so many horses being at exer-
cise here on one morning, for soon after daybreak
to-day upwards of one hundred and fifty showed on
the heath, amongst them being Achievement,
Ilippia, Hermit, Julius, Knight of the Garter,
Marksman, and Vauban, of the three year old
division, and Grimston, Hatchment, King Alfred,
Michael de Basco, Restitution, and Suffolk of the
" twos." The presence of these thirteen alone
would have been sufficient to satisfy the " early
birds" who were picking up the worms, and of the
latter class was a pretty good sprinkling. Lady
Elizabeth had not accompanied the Danebury string
which had arrived on the previous morning, nor
had Lord Lyon been sent on with the two sisters.
The absence of Savernake, too, was a theme of free
discussion, and opened the way to a fresh series of
commentations anent the breaking of blood-vessels
in the head.
Mr. Fleming's horses were early at work, and we

were glad to see that gentleman convalescent. His
Van Amburgh went a nice mile and a half gallop ;
and Deacon also gave Cecrops, Nancy, and Ajax
fine healthy exercise.
The Baron's team attracted much attention, for

Lothario was going splendidly, and Hippia never
appeared to greater advantage, whilst the two year

_ .
olds moved with the utmost freedom, especially
Suffolk and Restitution.

Gomera took Vauban, Lord of the Dales, and
Harpenden along merrily ; and Seville, Ischia, and
Lady Hester galloped by themselves. All did about
a mile, and cantered freely.
The Hermit accompanied Rama and Knight of
the Garter in a mile and a half steady spin ; and
little Bertie was doing duty with Schiedam, Musa,
and some others belonging to the Confederacy.
Tormentor led Stephen Langton and Bounceaway
a mile and three quarters, and Mat Dawson gave
Julius, Bismark, and Flying Scud a rattling good
mile gallop, whilst Speculum did nearly as much,
and Opoponax followed Wild Agnes for a mile and
a half.

Lord Stamford's worked satisfactorily, particu-
larly The Peer and Archimedes. The two year
olds though are moderate.

Marksman had a splendid canter, and then a
mile and three luarters gallop ; Mirella taking the
Cordelia colt, the Parson, and Black Diamond over
a mile fast.

Douro led Stokeley and Whirligig nearlya couple
of miles, and the three looked and went exceedingly
well.

Dover was paying great attention to Achieve-
ment and Hatchment. The former is in rare form,
and never galloped better than she did this morn-
ing, going a mile and a half splendidly. Hatch-
ment had a mile and a quarter steady spin.
Wroughton and Thornapple walked about for
some time, after which they cantered twice, and
went a mile and a half steady gallop. The "darkie"
has evidently been amiss, but Wroughton has im-
proved since Bath.
Owain Glyndwr and the Vixen colt were the most
sought after in William Goater's string, as great
things aro expected of them for their engagements
here. Both are in rare trim and worked well, their
mile and three quarters gallop being got through
beautifully. Fal-lal, Thalia, and Foresight did
about a mile and a quarter.
Westwick and Grand Cross alone represented the
Whitewall stable, the two Knights having been dis-
posed of at Tattersall's rostrum yesterday, and
Klarinska, with some others, being still at Leather-
head. The two first mentioned galloped very near
a couple of miles.
Jennings gave Dragon a mile and a quarter, and
Drewitt sent Zenobia half a mile further than that,
but restricted Ostreger and Actalt, to mile work.
Miss Harriette galloped two miles, and Grimston
did a mile and a quarter with Chapel Royal and
Mrs. Stratton. Vandervelde galloped a mile and a
half fast.
The Corporal and Tynedale trotted and cantered
freely, and finished up with a mile and a half
gallop.
Gilbert's lot included Sealskin, Ravioli, and
Roquefort, and the three galloped nigh on a couple
of miles ; and Wadlow sent Moulsey and the At-
tack gelding a similar distance. Alec Taylor was
busy with Pintail and Dulcet.
There were conflicting opinions about Michael
de Basco, the Derby colt in William Day's stable,
and he struck us as being very backward. Still he
is a grand mover,.and galloped over a mile in fine
form.
_ _

Vigorow wati in good exercin )vitli Venom, Nul

Jones, and Vici ; and the big Crosslanes colt did
plenty. Vigorous looks fit, and went well.
We had no time, or rather opportunity, to note
the movements of the others, but all did a fair
amount of work ; and the above particulars include
the whole of what the several " cracks " and promi-
nent favourites went through.
