NEWMARKET.—Thursday.—The great attractions this
morning in the training department were the gallops of
one or two of the Goodwood horses. Early, Matthew
Dawson sent over the tan at a steady pace Gomera, Specu-
lum, and Honesty; and at a later hour, Lord St. Vincent
and party arrived at the Limekilns to see Cannon Ball go
a rattling two-mile gallop by himself, also Lucifer and
one or two more a shorter course. Cannon Ball, although
almost a cripple when walking, is, neverthe7ess, when
extended in his gallops, one of the finest goers we have
here, and is doing a capital amount of work. Hayhoe
gave Suffolk a steady gallop on the Limekilns, also King
Alfred and Restitution several steady canters. Bloss
gave Blinkhoolie a capital two mile spin, led by Target
and accompanied by Leases ; St. Ronan and Hermit also
cantered steadily. The other portion of the morning's
work was chiefly amongst the horses engaged during the
day. Friday—Again this morning M. Dawson gave
Gomera, Speculum, and Honesty a long steady gallop on
the Limekilns. Julius was merely walking, and the rest
of the stables were more or less busy.. .
FINDON, Thursday.—We are still without rain, and our
horses are doing comparatively nothing. This morning
all the nags were on the Black Patch, but they did no
more than take slow canters and long walking exercise.
After breakfast, The Padishah came out with a lot of two
year olds as usual, and went to the Black Patch. Friday.
—Our horse are doing no more than taking the slowest of
canters. So far as I have seen, Romping Girl has not gal-
loped for ten days, notwithstanding which the mare looks
and goes well in her short work.

STocKBRIDGE.—Fsiday.---Although the weather still
keeps very dry, and the downs are quite parched up, the
majority of the horses are doing good work, a 3 follows:
Logarithm, The Earl, Herald, Birdseeker, and Equerry
were the first to canter a mile ; Cock of the Walk led Border
Knight (a very nice colt and a good goer), Lopez, Row-
allan, and Blucher ; Minnie Warren, Lady Cecilia, Cruci-
fixion filly, Bonnie Lass, Iberia, Lady Dupplin, Beata, Miss
Foote, Athena, and Lady Elizabeth. After cantering a mile
and walking for three-quarters of a mile, Athena led
Lady Elizabeth a gallop of about a mile and a quarter ;
Cock of the Walk led Border Knight, Lopez, Lady
Cecilia, and Bonnie Lass a steady mile gallop ; Minnie
Warren was schooling Iberia, Beata, and Lady Dupplin,
Miss Foote following at some distance by herself ; Loga-
rithm, Herald, Birdseeker, and Equerry galloped about a
mile and a half ; Arbaces, SdottiSh Queen, and Standard
Bearer were walking about. Tom Day's Blackbird colt
and Hippodamia filly were merely trotting ; Doralice filly
and Dentelle were doing little more than walking exer-
cise. Our horses have greatly benefited by their recent
rest, and have greatly improved in their fiction and style
of going. Y. King's Miss Camerine, Dupe colt, Sting, and
Lucetta were also in good work.

THEATRICAL, MUSICAL, 6-e.

Mdlle. Schneider, now performing to crowded houses in
St. James's Theatre, London, the original Grand Duchesse,
and Mons. Duprez, the original Fritz, have been offered
$20,000 each to go to America, but have not yet accepted
the offer, which, rumour has it, was made by Mr. Pike.
Ristori's farewell performance in America was to be at
an "Elizabeth" matinee at New York on June 27. During
her two seasons in America she has given 295 entertain-
ments and 57 in Cuba, in which sho appeared as Elizabeth
90 times, Mary Stuart 67, and Marie Antoinette 62. Her
first and only appearance in a French play was in a little
comedy at Brooklyn, on Wednesday evening, Juno 24, in
which her son and daughter performed with success.

Parepa was greeted with a very warm reception by the
musicians of San Francisco on her arrival in that city.

The dinner given to the 10th Company of Royal
Engineers on their return from Abyssinia was not at the
exclusive cost of the officers of that corps at Chatham.
but was given by the officers and non-commissioned
officers, which latter body subscribed the greater part of
the amount.

During a quarter of a century Ilorniman's Teas have had
an immense sale, and as they are now Bd. per pound
Cheaper, in consequence of the Reduced Duty, the demand
will doubtless be even further extended. Sold, secured in
Packets; genuine are signed "Il9rnintan and Co., Lou-
Awl?"
