TRAINING REPORTS.

LYTTLETON.— On Wednesday morning it was very wet,
and nothing came out till near ono o'clock, when seven
horses came out, chiefly two year olds. I noticed Seamew,
Bramiaridge, and Wahner ; the two latter are both good
looUng colts, and I have not the slightest doubt but will
pay their way another season, if they do not this. I am
told Brambridge is the best. They did only ono canter,
and then went home. Abergtldie and Eastley I did not
see, but from what I could make out they had been trying
some horses the previous day. Neither, however, has a
ghost of a chance for the long race, although I believe they
fancy the old horse the mos'.;. Ido not think Eastley will
see Newmarket at all unless they change their mind. I
like his chance best for the short race, but 1 do not fancy
ho can win, as I am quite sure he is an overrated horse,
and looks much to me like a soft one into the bargain.
WOODYEATES.—On Thursday Michael de Basco, Histo-
rian, Fenian, Carita, Brigantine, Sister to Marksman,
Bel Gorno, and Narino were out amongst others of W.
Day's. J. B. Day was out with The Special and Our
Mary Ann. They all cantered except Bel Giorno. Then
they ti ied The Special, Our Mary Ann, and Narino toge-
ther about two miles and a quarter, and from what I could
see the Special was beaten a long way, so I am quite cer-
tain neither of "our William's" has a chance for the
Cesarewitch. The others all had a canter, and then went
home by a back way. Friday.--The lot were again out,
but did lit.le or no work to speak about, but, as I was
leaving, Henry Goater came in with a horse, and was
going to Woodyeates, though for what purpose 1 could not
find out. In the Cambridgeshire, Michael de Basco, Bel
Giorno, Banditto, Vallation colt, Our Mary Ann, and The
Special are engaged, and they look a rather formidable
team, but at the weights my fancy is for Michael do Basco.
He is very much improved of late, and has grown into a
good-looking colt, having very much thickened, though
he looks as if he could do with a little more work. I know
ho was once tried a good horse as a two year old —I be-
lieve with old Pantaloon. Ho boat all theirs when they
were tried before the Two Thousand, as he finished se-
send to The Earl, and it seems to me that he likes to get
up a hill.

KINGSCLERE. —Thursday.—The usual team were on
Cannon Heath. Blue Gown, Green Sleeve, and the two
year olds repeated their previous day's work. Friday.—
The Palmer, Pero Gomez, Morna, and King Cophetua
were put through the mill. The Palmer and Poro Gomez
lay in front throughout. Satyr (with bandages on both
fore legs), Blue Gown, Xi, Green Sleeve, Vabalathus,
Siderolite, and three yearlings cantered up the hollow
twice. Green Sleeve was then sent a mile aad a half gal-
lop by herself. Siderolite followed at an interval. Satyr
then led, at his best pace, Blue Gown a mile and a quarter.
Vabalathus joining in, and taking the Derby winner a
slashing gallop the remainder of the two miles and a half,
Blue Gown never going better. In the Cesarewitch, Blue
Gown will be very hard to beat, with all his weight. I
think him certain to be in:the first three, and no horse can
have had a better preparation.

NEWMAIIKET.—On Thursday, on the raceground side
C. ocus and Belladrum had a good steady gallop over
three-quarters of the Ditch Mile. Hayhoe was there also,
and trotted King Alfred and Suffolk about a Irtile and a
half. Nyrnza and Restitution galloped steadily over the
outside of the Cesarewitch course. B..othar to Breeze,
H:ppia, and two or three others cantered steadily. Gilbert
sent Roque:o.t, B:ueskin, and Miss GratwicLe a rattler of
quite two miles and a quar-er. Ite:L deer led Rys .worth
and Midd eton Maid colt a real good gallop the Criterion
distance. Ravioli, led by Wellow and the two year olds,
Rajah, YermaL, and VanichLa, also did a use ul gallop.
Goodwin was oat early, and tried some ho see on the
B.M. John Dawson galloped Niue Elms, Nelly Rose,
and Marquis of Carabas about two miles at a good steady
pace.
The "Marquis" appeared all the better for his
rest
G ledi ire de Dijon c-me on the D.M. by herself;
Furious over three-quay .ers of a mile Typhon, Night
S troller, T her, and one other. Blar..ton sent Stephen Langton,
Pyrenees, and Badsworth. a good sharp' spin over the
, whom he sent a
Esther also did a
goodil'A. Og.

steady walk. Matthew Dawson galloped a lot on private
ground in the afternoon. On the Bury side Joseph Daw-
son galloped round the Long Hills, Friday, Guy of War-
wick, and Grimston, at a good pace. Pirate Chief led
Knight Errant over the Bury Hills. The Voltigeur filly
of rd Glasgow's followed. This is a very useful filly,
and goes in good style. Hayhoe came out with Suffolk,
but I °alp saw him working with a two year old. George
Blocs, on the Long Hill, did some useful work with Target
leading Hermit at half speed. Knight of the Garter gal-
loped by himself. Vauban went very gently. Professor
Anderson, Vespasian, Sir Oliver, and Veda also did some
steady, good work. Of the two year olds engaged in the
Clearwell, Brother to Cambuscan is the only one doing
anything. Brothers to Chattanooga and Union
Jack are not up to much. Friday.—Matthew Daw-
son galloped on the Flat, Clemence, with Lady
Coventry, at a good pace. Contempt, Abstinence, Goatfell,
Lady Dar, and Martyr also had a good gallop. Goodwin
was again out.very early, so that I could not get to see
them. Gilbert galloped Ravioli, Blueskin, and Miss Grat-
wicke a long distance.

FROM.—QA Wetlinicieq it plod up t 9 nearly that

o'clock, and in consequence very little was done in the
way of training. Beeswing was confined to the home pad-
docks. Mr Hughes's lot came out about four o'clock, and
galloped ou Six-mile Hill. Thursday-1 went to Leather-
head, where Beeswing did a rattling gallop of quite two
miles and a half, in the presence of the Squire. Monitress
led her for about a mile sad a halt, when Skirmish joined
in and led her the last mile at a clinking pace, the old
mare going like a bird, and pulling up without
turning a hair. Ackworth went a rare gallop the
same distance, and Planet did a splended gallop on Six-
mile Hill. Friday.—l again visited Leatherhead. Mr.
Hughes had a string of fifteen out, and after two canters
Planet went a duster of two miles, led by a dark chesnut
horse, but I could not distinguish what it was. Planet
has had a thorough Preparation, and will go to the post
very fit. Beeswing did not come to Leatherhead. I hear
she was beaten in her trial by Planet, who is therefore
worth a place investment.
MALTON.—In the Middle Park Plate we have Di Span-
ker, Fecialis, Kentish Fire, and Consternation. The last-
named will be the only one to represent us and ho is much
improved since ho ran last. With his allowance ho onght
to be in the first rank at the finish. The Spy is in the
Cesarewitch, and has been rattling along since my last. I
think him worth a place investment.
ITEDNESPORD.—Tho Newmarket Meeting next week will
not be patronised by many horses from here. Our Cesare-
witch horse, Ilium, is a " gone coon." It appears that
ncthing serious is the matter with him, but for the last
few days ho has been doing walking exercise, and has not
appeared on the hill; so you may rely upon my word he
will not run. Kidderminster has been doing strong work,
and goes and looks well ; but I cannot fancy him. East
Lancashire, who has been doing his work with old Suc-
cess, goes up the hill as strong as a lion, and in my opinion
is ai good as over ho was. He will be the best to stand on,
and it is well known that his trainer is always dangerous
with an old one.

ILSLEY. —We have only two horses engaged in the Ce-
sarewitch—Dalby and Bandmaster. The first-named is
as well as he was in his young days, and looks fit to run,
although he has only been doing steady work. He is full
of muscle, and, as I hava always told you, he is a horse
that does not require a lot of work, as he runs better
big, and should he be wanted at the last moment he will
be worth standing. Bandmaster has been doing long,
steady work, going very well ; but this (Thursday)
morning he only walked for about two hours and a half,
in company with Weather Isle and Royal Head. He
looked to be quite sound on his pies, but why he walked
I cannot tell. I thought at one time that he had an out-
side chance, but after this I think it will be better to leave
him alone. Lady Nyassa, Noyre Tauren, Royal Head,
Dunbar, Miss Nellie, and Black Jimmy are engaged in the
Middle Park Plate.

FyrrELD.—Safety and Skipjack have been tried over a
mile. Skipjack had the best of it all the way. Tremble
led Heather Bell and Sister to Franchise a nice gallop of a
mile, the two Litter going well. Heather Bell I think will
win the Sweepstakes and Clearwell Stakes.
BECKHAMPTON.—StradbrOke continues to do good work

for the Cesarewitch. He gallops two miles daily, Formosa
going the last mile with him. I think him certain to be
one of the first three. We have a very smart filly in the
Middle Park Plate called Eudora, who is sure to render a
good account of herself.
STOCKBRIDGE.—In the Royal Stakes at Newmarket
Europa is engaged, but I have not seen her for some time.
In the Middle Park Plate, Scottish Queen, Dentelle, Do-
ralice filly, Boaster, Alderman, and Crucifixion filly are
engaged, and of this lot the first-named will be found the
best, and will take her own part. Biennial Post Match
Herald has done no work for more than a month now, so
I should say he will not run. Newmarket Oaks--Lady
Raglan is engaged, but can have no chance in such
-com-
pany. Newmarket Derby—Herald, Equerry, and Bird-
seeker are engaged, but can have no chance. Cesarewitch
—We have Lady Raglan, Herald, and Birdseaker, and I
have no hesitation in saying the first-named is the best,
and will as near as possible win.
MIDDLEHAM.—For the Cesarewitch Tynedale is short
of work. Etoile Filante and Minster Bell I have no

fancy for. Donaldbain is very wall, but can have no
chance with Mercury, who is in first-rate fettle, and is
sure to run into a place. The only two likely to put iu
appearance for the Middle Park Plate are Pretender and
the Lady Melbourne filly. Pretender is a long way the
best of anything trained hero for both this event and the
Derby, and it will take a clipper to boat him. Frolicsome
is in the Newmarket Oaks, but not likely to run.
FispoN.—Cesarewitch—Romping Girl, Owain Glyndwr,
Retrousse, and the filly by Newminster out of Irish Queen
are our lot. The weather the last few days has sadly in-
terfered with the work of the horses, but Romping Girl
and the filly by Newminster out of Irish Queen have
galloped two miles each day since I last wrote. Owain
Glyndwr and Retrousse are only doing walking exercise.
STANTON.-At Newmarket we have See-Saw and Ruric
engaged in the Cesarewitch. The weight will be too
much for the first-named, and the other will be outclassed.
Abyssinia is engaged in the Clearwell Stakes, but will
stand no chance. Middle Park Plate.—Miss Agnes filly,
Jove, Tarquin, and Shelah colt are our lot. The last-
named will be found the best. The Lady Evelyn filly is
engaged in the Bretby Stakes, but I am afraid the company
will be too good for her. See-Saw is in the Newmarket
Derby, and ought to be very near winning.
