NEWMARKET.

In the course of Saturday and yesterday the arrivals of
" provincial" horses—we use the word "provincial," because
Newmarket is generally considered to be the " metroplis"
of the turf —were numerous ; consequently business on the
heath has been exceedingly lively. This morning Aber-
Acteaa, Bradamante, Brown Bread, Bugler, Cran-
ford, Dulcimer, Etoil Filante, Lady of Coverdale, Life
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, Nu, Godmersham, Medina, Fluerette,
Puebla, Dalesman, Tomahawk, Guinivere, Ambition, E Re
Galantuomo, Mount Palatine, Caithness, Chepstow, Ro-
land, &c. Drewett set Ostreger to take Acteaa 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
them. 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-
hill took Chepstow a mile and a half clipping, and tho colt
went uncommonly kind to-day; be is in the very
pink of condition, and it is generally believed here
that Kenyon will be 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 Goater had both Abergeldie and Proserpine in nice
work. Each looks in superb condition, and it is under

good outsider. The Star and Xi galloped rather

less 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 be 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 hdre with Miss Haworth and Lady
of Coverdale, 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 Johnstone 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 be "exposed" this journey. Thalia goes
uncommonly free, and has a great pace ; in fact, she has

been tried within a trifle of Rama's form. Mount Palatine
did not do much ; but Robin Hood had a mile and a half
spin. We should think neither of them rill run ; nor even
Tho 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 bestof the Baron's trio, and there
is notruth in the;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 amile and a half clipping this morr.ing. Pluerette,
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. dluland,
and Ambition each galloped over a mile and a,
quarter, fast, but Lively very "dotty" Klariuska 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 exercisod,
smartly. The Palreer went a mile steadily. Fripoinier
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 throe-parts speed gallop of
nearly a mile and a half. Strathconan went a little short
of a couple of miles. Vauban galloped three-quarters of a
mile gently. Ischia had a nice two mile steady gallop.
Breadalbane, Christmas Carol, Kangaroo, Breeze,
Arkansas, Landlord, Miss Harriette, Panacea, Tha-

Pantaloon, Dunsany, Janitor, Oppressor, Slender, The
Peer, Glendusk, Hollyfox, and a heap of others were doing
a fair amount of work ; and amongst the strong muster of
two year olds in good exercise we noticed the Splits jte
