ILSLEY.

Lord Lyon had a nice gallop of a mile and a half to-day,
but went steadily as the downs were heavy. Achievement
galloped a mile, as also did Tho General. Both these
youngsters are looking and going first class. Gardovisure
led Grisette and Commissioner a little over a mile. and
Dunsany schooled the yearlings. Black Draught trotted
about with Split the Difference. Mr. R. Ten Broeck's,
Warrener's, Lowe's, young Dawson's, and Rickards's, are
all in good health, and in gentle work.

The following appeared in our Third Edition of yester-
day cycling :
NEWMARKET.

The weather has been exceedingly unfavourable for
training operations during the last few day; but this
morning several of our Two Thousand and Derby nags
were at exercise. R. Boyce sent Lochaber along steadily ;
and William Boyce was trotting and cantering Argontel
and the Star of India. Amongst Bloss's rather lengthy
team we saw Blinkhoolie, King Charles, Tho Hermit,
Knight of the Garter, Pedagogue, and Tempest., all of
whom did a fair amount of work, The Hermit and The
Knight looking and going remarkably well. John Daw-
son exercised Assineboine and Beauclerck, but they are
very backward. Mat Dawson has had Archimage and
Avron added to his two-year-old string ; they were ac-
companied by Apsley, Hurunui, and Honesty, but neither
of the quintette were at work this morning. Mat,
however, brought out Julius, La Puce, Bombastes,
Pericles, and the Flying Scud (late The Hatter). They
merely trotted and cantered, though Joseph Dawson gave
The Bake a nice steady gallop of about a mile, and the
little horse is doing first class ; as also is another animal
in the same stable, Van Amburgh, who is half-brother to
Cecrops. The others working from that establishment
comprised Cyclone, Ettrick, Londesborough, Nuina Pom-
pilius, and Guy of Warwick. Gilbert appeared with both
D'Estournel and Ravioli, who are improving much ; they
had three or four smart canters each. llarlock brought
out a strongish bevy of Lord Glasgow's horses, and
amongst them wo picked out the colt by Barbatus out of a
West Australian mare, the three colts by Toxophilite out
of Flutter, Miss Sarah, and a Teddington mare from Maid
of Masham, Lord Brownlow, Ste. They are big, good-looking
2 yr olds, rough iu thoir cots, and requiring plenty el time.

BIRMINGHAM CATTLE SHOW.—The returns of the
receipts at Bingley Hall on the "private view" day
show the falling off in the admissions, consequent on the
absence of cattle, to have boon not nearly so great as was
anticipated. The receipts amounted to £214 10s., against
£241 last year. By subscribers' tickets this year, 4,097 ;
by five shilling tickets, 1,004 ; in 1865, by subscribers'
tickets, 3,884; by five shilling tickets, 1,540. The amount
received for admissions at Curzon Hall (the dog show) on
Monday was £230, against £192 in 1865. A large number
of the aristocracy visited both exhibitions on Monday.
THE CARLTON MURDER.—The inquiry into th e
circumstances of the murder of Mr. Rayner was
resumed yesterday before the county magistrates at the

Friday next. The proceedings were strictly private, and
no part of the evidence has been permitted to transpire.

The prisoners, John and Mary Watson, who are charged
with the murder, wore present during the examination,
and the legal gentlemen concerned in the case.
THE STRIKE IN THE IRON TRADE.—MOSt of the
works in the north of England, excepting Darling-
itiotans,tehrsa,veternmows. bAeetgoing in on the
men's desire for a
settlement has been quickened by the introduction yester-
day of a number of ironworkers from Staffordshire, and a
meeting has been had with the manager of the chief works.
No arrangement, however, has been come to, through the
masters, as the men allege, requiring a reduction of nearly
boon

20 per cont., instead of 10, as originally stipulated. At
Witton-park, Middlesborough, and other places men have
gone in during the last few days, and the strike is now
virtually ended.
LYNCH, THE FENIAN CONVICT.--The Louisville
Courier makes the following tardy statement in reference
to Colonel Lynch, now under sentence of death at Toronto:
—" Colonel Lynch was engaged to fill the place of one of
our reporters, whom, at the last moment, we found it im-
possible to send. The arrangement was positively and
distinctly made by a gentleman connected with this office,
through Captain M‘Dermott, a very worthy soldier and
gentleman ; but in the hurry of departure Colonel Lynch
failed to receive his credentials. The assertion that he
held a commission in the Fenian army, or was connected
with them in any way, except as our reporter, we do not
credit."
