NEWMARKET.

In the course of Saturday and yesterday the arrivals o
"provincial" horses—we use the word "provincial," because
Newmarket is generally considered to bo the " metroplis'
of the turf—were numerous; consequently bushiess on the
heath has been exceedingly lively. This morning Aber-
geldie, Aches, Bradamante, Brown Bread, Bugler, Cran-
ford, Dulcimer, Etoil Filante, Lady-of Coverdale, Lifo
Guardsman, Lively, Miss Haworth, Moldavia, Ostregor,
Paris, Peon, Pepper's Ghost, Pluto, Rococo, Scarborough,
The Squire, The Star, The Czar, Thalia., Valiant, Vigor-
ous, Wild Agnes, Xi, and Zenobia were amongst the Cam-
bridgeshire "strangers" who exercised ; and in addition to
them we had several of the Newmarket representatives for
that race at work, including Broomielaw, Out and Outer,
Vespasian, the Scheldt., Mineral, the Duke of York, Sultan,
Saladin, Jollity, Na, Godmershain, Medina, Fluerette,
Puebla, Dalesman, Tomahawk, Guiuivere, Ambition, 11 Re
Galantuomo, Mount Palatine, Caithness, Chepstow, Ro-
land, &c. Drowett set Ostreger to take Actrea a clipping
mile and a half, and the mare continues to move so freely
that there cannot be a question about her ability to secure
a place in the last big handicap of the legitimate
campaign. Goodwin sent Nu and Godmersham along
smartly, but neither will do. Bloss will probably start
Out-and-Outer and Vespasian, as he was attending well to
thorn. Amongst the Continental team we noticed Affi-
davit, Etoile Filante, and Charmette especially, doing first-
class, but the latter again showed a deal of temper. Pen-
bill took Chepstow a mile and a half clipping, and the colt
went uncommonly kind to-day ;heis in the 'very
pink of condition, and it is generally believed here
that Kenyon will bo up, but ugly reports are about
respecting the horse's age. Caithness again worked by
himself ; and there is no fear of ". the changes being rung.'
Henry Goator had both Abergeldie and Proserpino in nice
work. Each looks in superb condition, and it is under-
stood they will both go on their merits, " Lord Freddy"
having sold the filly to Sir Frederick Johnstone for £2,500,
and also transferred his affection to the colt. If, therefore,
Abergeldie is really better than Proserpine, the former is
worth backing to win and for a place ; and it must not be
overlooked that he was highly tried just before the Derby,
and entrusted with a lot of good money for the Epsom
event. Wild Agnes had a beautiful mile and a quarter gallop.
Pryor gave Paris and Peon a mile and a half steadily ;
and the former, barring his infirm legs, appears very
well. Alec Taylor had Bradamaute, Pepper's Ghost, Bugler,
and Dulcimer exercising freely ; but if there is any hope
for Fyfield it must be centred in Pepper's Ghost, for the
Cesarowitch running of Bradamante and Dulcimer cannot
be reversed with Proserpino and Actaaa,. Elliott gave
Moldavia and Zenobia a mile and a half gallop each ; but
the former appeared to tire at the finish. Jollity had a similar
gallop to the north country horses. Brown Bread has not had a
real good gallop for some time now, and is unsound. Old
Tom Dawson sent The Czar and Rococo nearly a mile find
three quarters, and to us they appeared big, as they sweated
much upon being pulled up. Lozenge went beautifully,
and is a good outsider. The Star and Xi galloped rather
loss than a mile and a half, and the latter is not only the
best goer, but the best looking of the pair, and if Sir
Joseph Hawley backs him freely he is sure to bo danger-
ous, as he strikes us as having materially improved since
we saw him give Plutus a stone and a half in the Stewards'
Cup at Goodwood, and then run him to a length a very good
performance. Mr. Hodgman has brought both Valiant and
Vigorous, but their looks do not say much for their chances.
The Osborne brothers are here with Miss Haworth and Lady
o: Coverclale, whom they galloped a mile and three quar-
ters, their action being easy. William Day sent Scar-
borough, Queen Mary, and Cranford a mile and a half, but
now that. Sir Frederick Johnstoue has become the owner
of Proserpine (and the baronet is to have the stakes and all
if the filly pulls this race off), the first-mentioned animal is
certain not to bo "exposed" this journey. Thalia goes
uncommonly free, and has a great pace ; in fact, she has
been tried within a trifle of Raina.'s form. Mount Palatine
did not do much ; but Robin Hood had a mile and a half
spin. We should think neither of them will run ; nor even
The Duke of York. The latter is very fit, though, but has
other engagements, wherein he has a better prospect of ex-
ercise. Dalesman went the best of the Baron's trio, and there
is notruth in tbe.report that Tomahawk has beaten him and
Guinivere in a trial. Claxton was tried on Saturday after-
noon (we believe with Quick March) and won. Our readers
will remember that some days back we called attention to
a great improvement having been effected in this animal.
He has received a good preparation, and being eased yester-
day,went a mile and a half clipping this morning. Fluerette,
we repeat, is very light, still she goes free. Life Guardsman
had a rare good gallop of nearly a mile and three quarters,
and he, too, looks much improved. Roland, Pluto,
and Ambition each galloped over a mile and a
quarter, fast, but Lively very " dotty." Klarinska gave
Taraban some nice quiet work; and Achievement gal-
loped three-quarters of a mile, her action being as superb
as ever. The Hermit and Dragon were eagerly watched-
The former did slow work only, but the latter exercised,
smartly. The Paln'er went a mile steadily. Friponnier
a like distance, but sharper, and has improved in tempera-
ment. Lord Lyon galloped a mile and a half/. and Rustic
a further length than that. Both are looking and going
beautifully. Lecturer had a three-parts speed gallop of
- q t:irt e
nearly a mile and a half. Strathconan went a little short
