NEWMARKET.

The Rake continues at work, but gallops less than a
mile, and very steadily, all by himself. The Hermit still
canters about, but Knight of the Garter is at good exer-
cise. Leybourno is taking D'Estournel nice mile gallops.
The Dragon is striding along now, but Trocadero and
Enchantress are not doing a great deal. Julius is doing
uncommonly well, but he is a light-timbered horse, and
should the ground become hard he will not like it. We
shall have nothing for West Drayton, but sevoial will
go to Nottingham and Derby. The Beadle and Ninny
have gone on from Lincoln. Qui Viva is fit, and so are
Landlord and Lady Valentine. Sweet Anne, too, is in
form; and Chapel Royal never wont bwttor. Bismarck
has all the pull of weight in the Trial Stakes at Nottingham,
and cannot lose, but:Volunteer is as well as he possibly can
be. Wild Agnes, Indigestion, Havelock, Lizard, Fortunatus,
Claverhouse, Caprice, Gretna, Gauntlet, Black Prince (by
Knight of Kars), Leases, Sweet Home, Barrington, and
Numa Pompilius, are severally forward in condition, and
will take part in next week's encounters.

The following appeared in our Third Edition of yester-
day evening ;
NEWMARKET.

The Rake and the Hermit have not galloped this week;
but D'Estournel and Julius are now working freely, as
also is Knight of the Garter. Dragon continues at long,
steady exercise. Hippia gallops a mile and a quarter,
looking and going first-rate. The handicap horses are
healthy, and in nice work. Whalebone leads Chippen-
ham, and Tormentor is galloping with Seringapatam, the
Oaks victress's action being unexceptional. She must be
backed at Once for the Newmarket Handicap. Bloss has
Blinkhoolie, Breadalbane, Broomielaw, Indigestion, Pro-
blem, Red Shoes, the Topsail colt, Trombone, Vespasian,
and Volunteer in good working order now, and Cooper's
pair, Dr. Syntax and the Lizard, are looking and going
uncommonly well. The Earl of Derby is at exercise
again, and Mount Palatine is galloping a mile
freely. Vandorvelde has only been trotting since
his return from Lincoln. Mr. Joseph Dawson's
great attention is being paid- to Bismarck, Knight Errant,
Little Rover, Miss Harriette, Numa Pompilius, Orne,
Othello, Sweet Anne, and Troublesome; and at Mat
Dawson's Apsley, the Beadle, Greenback, Sultan, and
Wild Agnes continue in nice preparation. Tourmalin goes
the best of the elder Hayhoe's team, but Lothario is ex-
ceedingly well, and Camilla, Jasper, and Janua aro pro-
mising. The junior Hayhoo is sending the Molly filly
and Union Jack along swimmingly. Amongst the French
lot perhaps Ariel, Atalante, Bretoline, Montagnard, Plutus,
and Sweet Home are doing the best. Nutrition is gallop-
ing a mile and a half, and must bo looked after for the
Great Northamptonshire Stakes; and so must Quick
March, who is more forward than Leases and Scipio.
Gretna has lost all her early form. Sam Rogers is getting
Sydmonton exceedingly ripe, and Sealskin never moved
bettor than he does at the present time.

Vauban continues to gallop a mile and a quarter freely,
and Lord Ronald is also tutoring Uncas, who looks much
improved, though still wanting time. The Duke has re-
commenced good work, and could net possibly do better ;
and Lecturer is again in strong exercise. John Davis
and Gomora are doing the most of tho whole of the Dane-
bury team, and the former looks a "dead certainty" fur the
Great Northamptonshire. Copenhagen is stale and slow.
Redcap has been in physic. Red Ribaud goes to Notting-
ham, and is bettor than Black Prince. Ischia gallops a
mile and a quarter, as do Seville and lees.
