The gallops on the Aintree this morning wore watched
with much interest, the Autumn Cup horses, of course,
attracting the most attention. Friday, in the hands of
Loates, and Miss Harriette were both out very early.
Cecrops led the former a few eanters, and Troublesome
rendered a like service to Miss Harriette ; after which the
latter and Friday had a nice gallop together, the colt going
first-class, and not showing the slightest symptom of
temper. A report had been circulated that he had thrown
a shoe the over-night, and had become lame, but there was
no indication of anything being amiss this morning. Miss
Harriette's action 'was everything that could be desired,
and the pair of them have evidently received
a most careful preparation at the hands of
Joseph Dawson. Mr. Graham's couplet, Chepstow
and Caithness, held a sttong levee, for the instant
they were brought out they were surrounded by a great
crowd. They had two gentle canters, and were then sent
a mile and a half at good speed, Caithness (ridden by
Murray) showing the way, and going brilliantly. The
youngster, with Barker up, acquitted himself creditably
also; and the lookers on were none the wiser when the
nags returned from exercise, and the same amount of
mystery as to which was "the intended one" continued
to prevail, and will doubtless do so up to the time
of the race being decided, as each is alternately
the better favourite. Carroll jumped on to Brick, and
gave him a fair amount of work, the old horse
looking as bright as a star, and being un-
commonly free in his movement. Morris was taking
Treasure Trove the whole length of the course at
three parts speed; and there will bo no animal brought to
the post in better condition than this northern one, Shep-
herd having attended well to him during the last four
weeks. Actiea was much sought after, and the mare
strikes us as being actually better than she was on the
Cesarewitch and Cambridgeshire days, time and Drewett's
perseverance having served her well. Huxtable was given
"the leg up," and he gave the Lewes filly a beautiful gal-
lop once round the Aintree, and she collared the ascent
home as if she verily "seemed to like it." We did not see
either Salpinctus or The Special out, for, in fact, they had
not arrived, but Jemmy Snowdon was rattling East Lynne
along for a mile and a half, and Nu (with young Goodwin
in the saddle) was following poor old Saecharometer at a
rare pace a like distance. Beeswing did not do a very
great deal, nor Lady Vane either, but both were in good
fettle, the latter working with the Stabber, who goes
better then ever we noticed before. Moulsey and Sun-
deelah are said to be doubtful runners for the Autumn
Cup ; but Salpinctes, Sandal, Red Earl, the Special, Helen,
and Sportsman will take part in the contest, in addition
to those named above. We understand, too, that Aetna
is to be entrusted to the pilotage of Huxtable,
Brick to Carroll, Caithness to Murray, Chepstow
to Barker, East Lynne to Mordan, Friday to J.
Loates, Helen to Cradwell, Lozange to Jemmy Snowden,
Lady Vane to Cameron, Miss Harriette to Kenyon, Nu to
IGoodwin, Nu to Goodwin, Red Earl to 11. Covey, Sandal
Jemmy Grimshaw, The Special to Sam Adams, Sportsman
to H. Clarke, and Treasure Trove to Morris. The race
course is in beautiful order now, the keen winds having
dried up the. "softness" prevalent at the opening of the
meeting. We have nearly a hundred horses here, but the
above are the only nags that we need draw attention to,
as the remainder are either " jumpers, " platers, or
moderate youngsters. •

S TOCKBRIDGE.
Very few of John Day's are in work just now; but a
large number of yearlings are being tutored, some of
them being exceedingly promising. Uncas and Distin
do a fair amount each, just to keep them healthy.
