NOTES

FROM
TRAINING DISTRICTS.

(THIS DAY.)

NEWMARKET.

Upwards of eighty "strangers" having arrived
in the course of Sunday and Monday, the Long
Hill, the race-course, and other portions of the
heath, were completely covered with horses at exer-
cise this ( Tuesday) morning. —Of course the observed
of all observers were Lord Lyon, Savernake, Knight
of the Crescent, and Achievement, the first and last
of whom unexpectedly arrived by special train the
afternoon previously. Knight of St. Michael led
Knight of the Crescent a nice steady gallop on the
Bury side of the town, where Gladiateur usually
does his work, and the two knights went brilliantly
along. Gardevisure took Lord Lyon a nice breather
up the hill, and the latter goes as free as
ever, but sweated much. Savernake pleased
us more than ever, for his action was
grand, and he was as lively as a kitten. Os_
tregor went at a walking pace, and so did the
improved Out-and-Outer. Gownsman is lame.
The Baron's team did good work, especially
Janitor and Hippia, and Breeze is mending ; but
for the Cesarewitch we still have an idea that
Lothario will be the trusted oue. Broomielaw
showed a deal of temper this morning, but Bread-
albane went striding along quietly and in good
form. Sultan is looking and going first-class ; so
do Master Richard and 11 Re Galantuomo. Nu
begins to look very light now, but Jollity gets
on first-rate in her long work. Saladin is full of
flesh. The Rake is very fit. The training grounds
were too crowded to do any particular amount of
exercise, but most of the animals galloped from a
mile to a mile and three-quarters or so.
