champion of the blue and yellow, Suffolk, Vho was
made a hot favourite for the anxiously-looked for
Biennial, in the face of what had been said as to
the relative merits of the two. So ridiculous did
the idea of his inferiority appear, the talent would
have it their trial was all a mistake, and that Suf-
folk's public form might yet be the proper criterion
of his merits. On the strength of this he had a
very fair chance against The Earl and Blue Gown,
especially as rumour had not favoured them of late,
though it was easy to perceive he had wintered the
worse of the three. The Gown's appearance was
quite marvellous to those who had listened to the
awful reports rife concerning him ever since
the previous Saturday. Ilad the Earl not been a
companion of Lady Elizabeth, he, too, would have
tauched a much shorter price before the race was
laid after, so much was he admired. Beyond the
three, there was no candidate of any note in the
field, what little improvement The Parson had
shown on his overthrow of the soft Court Mantle
being negatived by the brief interval allowed him
for resting. Three of the remainder—Nelusko,
Boanerges, and Stamford—belonging to- the un-
known division, and of these Nelusko made a better
show than the Parson, running so well with the
Earl for a long way as to give the Frenchman a
pretty good idea of the capabilities of the Danebury
second string, and also auguring that he will yet do
a good thing on his own account. The repre-
sentatives of the two great Derby divisions, at
the same time, got a capital line of each other; and
if we are to believe that Silenus really beat The Earl
in a recent spin Matthew Dawson has the measure
of them both, so that the Marquis of Hastings, Sir
Joseph Hawley, and the Duke of Newcastle have
only to compare notes when the proper time arrives
to reduce the Derby as nearly to a certainty as pos-
sible. Obstinate followers of public form would
naturally give the Newmarket stable the preference
now, owing to race having beating The Earl and
Blue Gown last Doncaster, when he was palpably be-
low the mark, and to Speculum's surprising "paper"
superiority to Moslem ; but the long odds to be had
about the sons of Young Melbourne and Bas Bleu
plainly signify that Lady Elizabeth, with Rosi-
crucian or Green Sleeve, must be immeasurably
their superiors, and certainly nothing decisive can
be arrived at by " outsiders," pending the Two and
One Thousand, as to which the three gentlemen
above-named possesses the best of this season's
flying three year olds. That the Earl and Blue
Gown are defunct for the Derby has long been in-
dicated by the market, for it has not been a case of
laying one day and backing the next on the part of
the rulers of the price current, but a steady, per-
sistent opposition that even " public money" cannot
check. Pace, on the contrary, has always had plenty
of friends to come to his rescue, and they have their
confidence in his being the best strengthened not only
by a trial wherein he is stated to have come off victo-
rious, but by the opposition that broke out against
Speculum because he did not beat a filly of Lard
Glasgow's in his race on Thursday in a style
to please the critics. What more they could want
than an easy victory it is hard to guess, and,
besides, the dark filly was receiving no less than
201 b. ; nevertheless, there is the fact that Pace
is now quite as good a favourite, for all his shirk-
ing the easy task that was before him yesterday,
and it must be admitted theson of Caterer and Lady
Trespass goes very like a Hermit in the market
just now. The race he missed, fortunately, was not
devoid of interest, as it brought out a very useful
member Of Lord Glasgow's nameless crew, whose
success, coupled with the form shown by some of his
companions at the meeting, caused renewed atten-
tion to be directed to the representatives of the
crimson and white. He is not in the Two Thousand'
but a better horse may be found in the string when
they are put together—a proceeding that will be
taken very shortly, we believe—and it is on the
cards that Lord Glasgow will cut in for all the great
three year old races of the year.

(From the Sporting Gazette.)

I believe if the Two Thousand is destined to fall
to a Newmarket trained horse—that the winner will
be Pace, though wherever he finishes, Vale Royal
is bound to be. Le Sarrazin, it was generally re-
ported, won his trial with N6lusko, Ouragan, and
Montagnard, since which his name has appeared in
the quotations at lessening figures ; and as they also
back him for the " Blue Riband," it is to be sup-
posed his spin was quite satisfactory to Count
Lagrange's astute trainer.
The meetings for next week aro Lewes Spring,
Thirsk, and Croydon, the programmes issued for
which give promise of some good racing. Tuesday
and Wednesday are the days appointed for the
reunion on the beautiful south downs, a visit to
which, now that the weather has got mild, will be
most enjoyable. Five of the races on the list for
Tuesday are closed, the most important of which
is £the Craven Handicap, which is run on the
T.Y.C. Twenty-seven horses have been weighted
for it, of whom I consider CHIVALRY, 3 yrs, 7st Mb;
LICTOR, 3 yrs, 7st 21b ; and SUGARSTICK, 3 yrs, 6st,
to be the best in.

In the Two Year Old Plate seventeen youngsters
are engaged, with
a probability of its falling to
ELECTRICITY.

For the Town Plate thirty-three horses have
been weighted, of Whom GOODFELLOW and CRO3I-
- appear to me to have a good chance.
For the Welter Cup twenty-three horses have
been handicapped, of whom I prefer the chances of
FEODOR and DOURO.

For the Lewes Spring
Handicap thirty-one hones
have been weighted, the greater number are en-
gaged on the first day, consequently a great deal
will depend on their previous performances. POW-
DERRAM, 6 yrs, 7st 41b ; HOP LEAF, 5 yrs, 7st 41b ;
and CHORAL, 3 yrs, Est, I consider to have an ex-
cellent chance.

The programme for Thirsk, like that of Catte-
rick Bridge, shows such a marked improvement,
compared with those issued for the last three or
four years, that racing is evidently becoming more
popular than ever in the North Riding of York-
shire. The list for Tuesday extends to five races,
four of which are already closed—viz., the Mow-
bray Stakes, the Hambleton Plate, the Sowerby
Plate, and the Hunt Cup. Twelve horses have
been nominated for the Mowbray Stakes, nearly all
of whom are " dark,"

For the llambleton Plate forty horses have been
weighted to run a mile, which is a distance so
suited to CZAR, 5 yrs, Bst ; VULCAN, 4 yrs, Gst 101 b ;
QUALITY, 3 yrs, 6st 101 b ; and EVELINA, 3 yrs,
6st 51b, that I fancy the winner is among them.
In the Sowerby
Plate twenty-two horses are en-
gaged, of whom SICYSAIL,. 4 yrs, Est 131 b, ought to
win.

The Hunt Cup, in which fourteen horses are en-
gaged, looks a rod thing for SCARRINGTON.
On the second day there are thirty-five horses
nominated for the Thirsk Handicap, to run one
mile and three-quarters. The three horses I con-
sider best in are KING OF THE FAIRIES, 4 yrs,
7st 71b ; Frolicsome, 3 yrs, 6st 21b ; and Evelina,
3 yrs, 6st 21b ; and I give the preference to the
former.

The Silver Cup will fall to SCARRINGTON or
HELEN; but respecting the Falcon Plate I can give
no opinions, as the issue is entirely dependent on
the running of the first day.

RACE MEETINGS.—The Hoboken Spring Meeting
is to be held on the 2Gth, 27th, and 29th May. Tho asso-
ciation has provided for the races during the three days,
and to these in purses and money, added to stakes, there
will be contributed by the club $1,600. The post stakes
will close on the Ist May. The race meeting, in Narra-
gansett Park, Rhode Island, is fixed for July next. There
will be three races each day, and the money to be given
in purses and additions to stakes will amount to
$6,900. The Handicap, the Hopeful Stakes, and the
Rhode Island Cup will close on the Ist of June.
Wilkes's Spirit says :—" In our last number we called the
attention of the American Jockey Club to the prcbablo
consequences of the penalties to be imposed on winners
in the Grand National Stakes, to be run for on the last
day of the summer meeting at Jerome Park. The Club
has re-considered the matter and made a material alters-
tiju in the conditions of the stake. There is to be no
penalty for previous winnings, and the second horse is
to receive $2OO out of the stake. We call the attention
of the western and southern stables to this fact. The
race will be one of the greatest of the year, and we sup-
pose that all the great aspirants who can run fast and
stay a distance will appear in it."

TRAINING REPORTS.
KINGSCLERE.—Thursday. Xi led Vagabond, King Co-
phetua, Pero Gomez, Nyl Gan, and Sister to Rosicrucian
a steady gallop of a mile. 'Satyr galloped by himself two
miles. The Palmer piloteil Rosicrucian and Green Sleeve
in a three-parts speed gallop of nearly two miles. Wolsey,
Cotytto, Fakir, and Adosie.da galloped the same distance.
Friday.— The Palmer led Rosicrucian and Green Sleeve
two canters of a mile. Xi led Vagabond, King Cophetua,
Pero Gomez, Nyl Gau, and Sister to Rosierucian a aice
half-speed gallop of nearly- a mile. Wolsey led The Palmer,
Rosicrucian, and Green Sleeve a good gallop of a mile
and three-quarters, all pulling up sound and well. Blue
Gown, Siderolite, and Va;bala,thus took things easy. Rosi-
crucian is getting into fiuo form, but, of course, is not so
fit as Green Sleeve. I have a great liking for this filly,
but whichever Sir Joseph Hawley asks for the Two
Thousand will be very hard to dispose of.
NEWMARKET, Wednesday.—Courtmantle, Tregeagle,
and Kingsley cantered together. The Pope and Brother
to Claverhouso did some useful work. Roquefort, was
sent to lead Vale Royal a gallop, and when about half the
distance was got over he again ruptured a blood vsssel,
and bled profusely. Vale Royal went on by himself, being
full of go. King Charming led Typhoeus a good gallop of
nearly a mile and a half, and towards the finish, when out
of my sight, Typhoeus, it appears, pulled up lame. lam
sorry for this, on account of his owner, who is a thorough
sportsman, and has hereby lost a great chance of winning
the Two Thousand. Capitaine, Le Sarraziu, and Mercure
each went a steady gallop ; also the two yr olds, Curiouse
being the most prominent among them. Trocadero led
Dragon two miles at a good pace. Hermit was sent quite
two miles by himself. Target and Blinkhoolie did a
useful gallop. St. Ronan went about a mile, at a pretty
fair speed. Armourer, Beauty, Kettlehol,ler, and Goodwood
galloped a mile and a half. Python only cantered steadily.
Qui Vivo, Whitby, Claymore, and Grimston galloped a
mile. Pirate Chief led Fripounier a real good gallop.
Ilippia, Jasper, King Alfred, and Restitution did about the
same as ou the previous day. Demonstration, Stephen
Langton, and Handsome Jack galloped. Havelock and
Minuet did seine good work, looking and going well.
These have made considerable improvement under the
charge of their young trainer. Pericles, Honesty, Pace,
and Speculum were sent a good gallop, Daley being on
Face. Gomera led Miss Havelock two miles. Julius
travelled the same distance by himself. Thursday-- -Born-
bastes led Speculum and Julius a mile on the Limokilns.
Bombastes only came here one night this week. Pace only
had two steady canters. Vale Royal took a nice gallop on
the tan, and then went about a mile and a half on the
Limekilns, going strong and well. Le Sarrazin was tried
early this morning, but that is all I can tell you, except
that Nelusko was put through the mill with him.
STOCKBRIDGE, Thursday. —Mr. Briggs and Lady Raglan
went a steady wallop of about a mile. Logarithm led Lady
Elizabeth a mile and a quarter ate good speed all the way,
the crack going beautifully. Friday —1 he: Danebury
horses only had two brisk canters of a mile. Athena led
Lady Elizabeth each time. Tom Day's, after cantering
once, were galloped as follows :—Regalia led Lady Raglan
smartly a mile and a half. Mr. Briggs led the Blackbird
colt a mile. The two year olds were going well. I was
very well pleased to see that all our horses performed very
respectably at Newmarket, although all did not win,
Though the Earl pulled through in the Biennial ho has
no earthly chance for the Derby while the mare keeps
well.

Lady Vane and Minster
MIDDLEILAM, Wedues-rty.—
Bell had a two-tulle gallop. Lady Vane fell about 300
yards from tho finish, broke her thigh, and had to be de-
stroyed. Thursday.—Palisade, Viscountess colt, and
Affection went a rattling gallop of two miles, all going
lir,t-class. Pretty John and Weather Star galloped
steadily. Dawson sent his lot the mile gallop three times,
as did Fobert with his team. Our Chester Cup and Great
Northern horses are all lockingand going remarkably
well. The Czar or Sister to Little Agnes ought to win
the Thirsk Handicap, and whichever Dawson rues fur the
Hambledon Plate (King of the Fairies) will win ; not doing
much work of late, but he does not require a great deal.
Honesty will be our best for the Sowerby Plate, and
Glenavon for the Mowbray Stakes.

has been a very indifferent performer. The same pair aro
also in the Innkeepers' Plate, but I think neither of them

ing. For our own Spring Meeting we have several doing
good work. Town Plate.—Sweet Boy, Tom Vernon, Belle

has a chance it is Festival. Welter Cup.—Leases, I think,
will be found our best, but he has too much weight on to
please me. Craven Handicap. —Lictor, Choral, Tom Ver-
non, and Needlework are entered, au I Lictor is much the
best, but in my opinion he is waiting for something better.
EPSO3I.-0a Wednesday, Sherwood gave the following
some capital work :—Marquis of Worcester, Thorudyke,
Brown Jug, Sea Serpent, Bonnie Katie, and Vanbrugh.
Armstrong sent Aurifera, Tott, Diophautus filly, and
Spider rattling along at a rare pace. Nightiugall and
Reeves were busy with their respective strings. Skirmish
led the Dundee colt a good striding gallop of a mile and a
half, and Columbine, Berserker, Ampleforth, and Lady
Pam took several nice canters. Thursday. —Reeves gal-
loped Onyx, Antias, Electricity, Nanny Thormanby,
Juanita, Kismet, and Queen Ebba a mile, and Lord
Derby led Thornicroft a mile and a half at a
good pace. Foxholes, Carnage, Premier, Fawn, and
Bannockburn all went a good gallop of a mile and a
half. I noticed the following of Hughes's lot returning
from Leathorliead, all looking as if they had been doing
good work :—Ackworth, Planet, Professor Anderson, Am-
bitious, Powderham, Macduff, Young Rapid, colt by M.
Phillippe, Melinda, and the Mentniore filly. G. Simpson
was busy with Breach of Promise, Red Star, Little
Tommy, Blondin, and Bay Rosalind colt. Friday.—Ailes-
bury, Warlike, Redivivus, Merry Andrew, Uncas, Cecil,
Pocket Hercules, Ulan, Owen Roo, Elector, Mulgrave,
Shepherdess, and Shimble Shamble, after several canters,
went twice up to the old Mile-post. Aurifera and Spider
went a good gallop of a mile and a half. Skirmish and
Dundee colt were sent a nice gallop. Beeswing is still an
absentee, and as the Chester Cup day is getting so near, I
fear ber chance is extinguished.
MALTON.—Our horses doing good work on Tuesday
wore Camillo, the Buccaneer filly, Mother Noasham, Di
Spanker, Agrippa, the Vedette filly, Blacklock, Fecialis,
Royal Oak, My Lord, Raby Whip, Thankful, Kentish Fire,
The Clipper, Merry and Wise, Tolson d'Or, and Betrayal.
Wednesday—Westwick, Viscount, War, Taraban, Zapolya,
Fecialis, My Lord, Royal Oak, Raby Whip, Thunder, and
Betrayal were being sent along. Thursday—Flash
Emma, The Cure colt, and Consternation took a couple of
brisk canters. The first named is a good-looking mare,
and has been on a visit to Cramond. Betrayal had a
three-parts speed gallop of a mile and a half. Camillo led
Buccaneer filly and Agrippa a rasping gallop of a mile.
Tke Vedette filly took a similar spin by herself. Mother
Neas'.iam and Di Spanker galloped at a moderate
pace. Blacklock had a couple of gallops of a mile,
and no horse can be doing better than this one.
George Osbaldeston, Malta, and Lady Zetland were doing
work on private ground ; they are looking remarkably
well. Traitress, Mountain Maid, and Punster are engaged
at York, and they have been doing three and four-mile
gallops daily. The last-named has much improved since
he last ran. The following will leave here on Tuesday
morning for their Thirsk engagements :—Camillo, Mother
Neasham, Malta, and Zapolya, while War is expected to
go. The above have undergone a strong preparation, and
are fit to run.

RicumoND.—On Wednesday El Cid had a steady gallop
of two miles. Geant des Batailles, Hermosa, Brantingham,
Brennus, Valtz, and Felucca cantered smartly. Moldavia,
followed at a distance by Stella, went the long gallop. Ca-
prera galloped a mile steadily, and the Vedette filly went two
miles at half-speed. Polecat, Sorcerer, Gleaner, Ashbank,
Rel Tub, Carnerino colt, Sweet Annie, Sleeping Maggie, An-
nie, and Ladas did good work. Lord Ronald led Chelsea,
Virtue, and Buttercup a steady gallop of a mile and three-
quarters. Circe, Retort, and Sawyer were walking ; the
latter, however, previously took a gentle canter. Lord
Bothwell, Evelina, Hector, Quality, Ramada, Plaudit,
Dryad, Dutchman's Daughter filly, Mafir, and Tho Hind
did some good work. Mysotis and Dutch Admiral gal-
loped a mile steadily. Strathoonan and Scotchman's Pride
were piloted in a good two-mile gallop by Wee-Wee
Flower. T hursday—S trathconan, 6 cotch man's Pride, and
Wee-Wee Flower did the same amount of work as on the
previous day. Mysotis galloped. Moldavia, Stella, Ca-
prera, Sorcerer, Rol Tub, Ashbank, and the Vedette filly
wore sent a nice gallop. Lord Ronald, Chelsea, Virtue,
Buttercup, and Raunds had a rattling good gallop, all
going well. Raunds then led Plaudit two miles at a
steady pace.

FINDON. —lt is gratifying to see a good animal in our
stable once more in the little daughter of Nutbourno and
Miss Vivian, and I think when the autumn brings out
Tasman, Martinique, and somo more, we shall show
the public another or two. Next week a few of our
horses will be sent to Lewes. In the Town Plato we have
Helder and Miss Martha. Both have done plenty of work
and are fit. Chester Cup•-Romping Girl and Sister to
Vedette aro away, but the others engaged are going on
well. No horse could look or go better than Owain Glyn-
dwr. It is Sir Richard Bulkeloy's intention to run his
horse at Newmarket on the Wednesday of the First Spring
Meeting, and ho is a certain runner also for the prize on
the Rhodee, and the public may rest assured that they will
get an honest and straight run for their money. Thalia
has again started work, but she has only been sent a mile,
and I am sorry to say her temper is not so good as it used
to be. Nekton seems to bo a good steady horse, and con-
tinues to improve daily, some day or other ho will win a
good race. I think that he is especially suited to a flat
course. Of all the horses we have hero, I see none that
has improved more than Madrid, and although I can only
consider him to bo second class, yet there is no saying
what situation a gcpod sound horse might fight himself
into.

ILSLEY, Wednesday.—After two half-mile canters Dalby
led Viridis another a little over a mile. Hammerton, Sala-
manca, Canard, and Finesse wont a mile and a half.
Thursday.—Dalby and Viridis had their usual canters and
a gallop of about a mile, going remarkably well. Although
these two Chester Cup horses are not doing very strong
work, they are in fine condition, and will be quite fit by the
day. Orion, Ironmaster, and Landscape are doing well for
their coming engagements. Vampire, Yardarm, Chivalry,
and the colt by Wild Dayrell out of Phenay are in the
Lewes Spring Handicap, and I like the last named the
best at the weights. 11,3 is very well, and goes in good
form. Town Plate.— Dawdle, Tumbler, Goodfellow, Lady
Clinton,. Chivalry, Proctor, Canard, and Arkadi are all
well, and whichever Mr. Bannett runs will be bad to beat.
Welter Cup..—Feodor is well, but has not dine much work
of late. Goodfellow will win the Craven Handicap if
wanted.

STANTON, Wednesday.—See-Saw only cantered. Rude,
Orne, and Attack colt went a two miles and a half gallop.
The Returned, Jeanie Deans, Lady Highthorn, Souve-
nance, Fidelia, Batonnier, Balk colt, and the Morella filly
went a mile and a half at full speed. Sk-ter to Albrighton
galloped the same distance. Salliet, Parma, Jove, Miss
Agnes filly, Tarquin, Palmitiae, and Abyssinia galloped a
mile. Thursday—RuHc, See-Saw, and Lady Highthorn
galloped two miles, the last-named going well. Christmas
Carol, Sportsman, Jezabel, and Grey Stocking were only
walking.

HEDNESFORD.-Our trainers having been at Lichfield
very little has been doing here sinca my last report. Our
Corby pony, Uncas, is doing wonderfully wolf, and is as
sound as a roach. He will take his own part amongst all
the big-'uns. Of the others trained here lam very partial
to Kidderminster, whp is a very compact horse, and is in
splendid fettle.

LAmnouuNE.—Since my last report Knight has been
sending along Lady Rosohill, Child of the Islands, Patri-
cian, Curfew 8011, Kingsland, and some two year olds. In
Bates's lot, Prince George, Grand Duke, Musa, and the
youngsters have done well. Wetherell has been busy with
Rhine Wine, Lady Diana, The Don, Spitfire, Singapore,
and The Duke of Beaufort. Smith has been looking well
to Mexico, who I see is engaged at Manchester on Satur-
day, but I don't think he will run there, but go to Lewes
in preference, where he has two engagements. He is very
well, and his form.your readers saw at West Drayton.
Patrician and Musa are also entered at Lewes, and 1 should
say Patrician is the best in for the Craven Handicap.
CHILTOIC—Very little took plsce on Wednesday, the
horses doing most work being Virginia Creeper, Second-
hand, Alberta, Triana, Woodman, Chateau, Margeaux, St.
Agnes, M.A., The Scout, Country Bumpkin, Congratula-
tor, Pelisse, and the Muscovite colt. Lilac and Precocious
have been stopped in their work, but for what reasons I
cannot tell, as both were doing as well as any horses could
do. They are engaged at Lewes, whore we have a lot
more entered. Thursday—Country Bumpkin, St. Agnes,
The Scout, and the Muscovite colt galloped about three-
quarters of a mile. Virginia Creeper went a mile and a
half at a good pace. Secondhand joined in to lead her the
last three quarters, and no horse could go better than the
" Creeper." Her, form at Bromley was all moonshine.
Alberta led St. Agnes, and the Muscovite colt went about
half a mile. M.A. led the following two half-mile gallops:
—Hazlewood, Congratulator, Pelisse, and another. Actrea
is being led about in the paddock, but nothing is amiss
with her that I can see.

Ottoman, after winning the Subscription Plate at New-
market, was claimed by Mr. Woolcott, who subsequently
resold him to Mr. Bromsgrove.

Bedlainite, winner of the Handle ip Sailing Chase at
Kingsbury, was sold to Mr. Toyabao for 115 guineas.
Mr. Alwyn's horses, Knight of Down° and Heather
BA, have not changed hands. Thoyhave merely changed
stables, having loft Brighton for Pitt-place, Epsom.
AUTUMN STEEPLE CHASE FIXTURES.—The next meet-
ing at Streatham has been fixed for October 9 and 10 ;
and Croydon will take place, as usual, on November 24
and two following days.

ACCIDENT TO MR. S. J. WELFITT.— We regret to state
that Mr. Welfitt, while witnessing th 3 races at Tamworth
on Monday last, was knocked down by, one of the horses
in the race; whereby three of Isis ribs were fractured.
HARPENDEN RACE COURSE.—Much-nooded improve-
ments have been effected recently at the turn into the
stm;Blst by taking in an additional sweep of ground, thus
making the turn and the course generally quite unob-
jectionable.

Look Out, after performing badly in the Selling Race at
Kingsbury on Monday, changed hands for 13g-s, and he
was re named Blue Post prior to running in a similar
event on the second day.

Comet, who dislocated his nock at Kingsbury on Mon-
day, had been purchased for 10 gs only a few minutes
prior to the race by 11. Ellison, in wh .M 3 colours the ill-
