NEWMARKET.

The fogs have been so dense here of late that exercise
has necessarily been delayed until late each day, and no-
thing very particular was done in consequence. Trainers,
however, are now obliged to persevere in their work, as
the Houghton meeting is at hand, and the Cambridgeshire,
Criterion, Glasgow, and Troy Stakes horses must be got
fit for their engagements. Anibition galloped a mile and
a half at a rare pace this morning, but does not seem to go
firm in the market. Ostreger led Actaaa a mile and three-
quarters steadily. Sacharometer was walking. Brootnie-
law trotted, but Breadalbane and Out and Outer
galloped a mile and a quarter fast. Saladin and
Godmersham did very little. Peeress galloped a
mile and three-quarters. Peon, Paris, and Il
Re Galautuomo were working very freely. Mount Pala-
tine walked. Robin Hood (by Wild Dayrell) sweated.
Dalesman had a beautiful mile and a half spin with Toma-
hawk. Claxton was doing well. The Scheldt was work-
ing, but not fast. Guinivere and Mineral were in slow
work. Jollity had a gallop of about a mile and a half. We
did not see Medina at work. The Hermit was at nice
steady exercise; and so were Lochaber, Pedagogue, Stolen
Kisses, Imperator, Cerf Volante, Trocadero, Dragon, Fri-
ponnier, and other Criterion candidates loftted here. The
Rake was in physic. Janitor has left here. Satyr, Sunny-
ocks, Star of India, Bombastes, Jasper, Janue, Julius, and
Pericles were in mile work. Hippie.' galloped with Falken-
stein. Chepstow was looking and going uncommonly
well, doing his mile and a half most satisfactorily,
as did Caithness. Regalia galloped by herself. Peter
Price is getting Stradbroke forward, but he is not of
Derby quality. King Charming was schooling Rus in
Urbo and Blackthorn ; and Godding attended well to
Python, the Amanda colt, Edgbaston, and Nutbourne Lad.
The French-bred Floranthe sweated. Plutus was follow-
ing Gladiateur, and the latter appears to be getting into
his old form. Marmite was out with Emigrant and Gas,
but they exercised moderately. The Duke of York was
spinning along ; and we also noted Breeze, Greyfoot,
Loughrea, Friday, Chapel Royal, Othello, Qui Vive, Arte-
sian/Littleport, Novice, Cheltenham, Mazurka, Canard,
Court Card, and several other Houghton horses in very fair
work. We have now upwards of six hundred animals in
our trainers' hands, including a most promising lot of
yearlings. •

MALT ON.

Taraban is being got ready for the Criterion Stakes.
He had a nice sweat with some others of John Scott's dur-
ing Saturday, and looks splendid. To-day he did over a
mile very fast. Knight of the Crescent and Westwick
cantered a mile twice, and then did long walking exercise.
Klarinska and Amazon were very active. Treasure Trove
is doing plenty, but the Lion walking only. Mushroom,
Ploughboy, Skysail, and Queen Ellis went a mile and a
half steadily. Skylark and Musa bowled along first rate.
