TRAINING DISTRICTS.

(THIS DAY.)

LIVERPOOL.

The gallops on the Aintree this morning were 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 canters, 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 strong levee, for the instant
they were brought out they were surrounded by a great
crowd. They had two gentle cantors, 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 be 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. Actasa was much sought after, and the marete
the
Cesarewitch us as being actually better than she was on
tes
Cesarewitch and Cambridgeshire days, time and Drewieveu
perseverance having served her well. Huxtable wsggal_

course is i

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.

ST 0 CKBRID GE.
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 pistin
do a fair amount each, just to keep them healthy. Both
are very big at present. Toni Brown is giving Wild Agnes
a mile and a half gallop each morning ; and gets the
Nailor to lead Archiniage, Hurunui, Greenback, Highland
