well. Grand Prize. —Laneret, Sr.. Ronan, Nelusko,
Speculum, Goodwool, Friponnier, Vale Royal, and Beauty
are our lot. These, I think I may safely say, could
not be more fit to run. Chelmsford.—Great Bad-
dow Two Year Old Stak .s. Bello of Warwick.

Cupucine filly, fiche au Bois, Dr De Jongh, Cyclamen,
Troy, and Nutgirl are our lot, and all going oa right.
Chelmsford Handlflap —Pirate Chief, Distaff, Artesian,
Midwife, Novice, Usurper, Court Card, Furious, and D..
Gray are all right. Angus is away, and La Belle Jeanne is
hardly fit. I think the best of Joseph Dawson's will win
this handicap. Worcester meeting— In the Worcestershire
Stakes Vespasian is very well indeed, and w:11 about win.
Flying Stakes—Sir Oliver and Problem ara both wall.
Worcester Cup—We have only Lases engaged, and he
goes short, and I should think will not run. I have
noticed during the week the following doing some good
gallops on the tan:—Contempt, Casso Tote, Miss Have-
lock, Leonie, Grimston, Knight Errant, Qui Vive, Riga,
Belphegor, Harebell, Teddington horse (5 yrs), Miss
Sarah colt (4 yrs), Maid of Masham filly, Makeshift colt
(3 yrs), Bird-on-the-Wing colt (3 yrs), filly by Knowsley
(3 yrs), Ladyßoseberry, Macduff, Porter's Knot, Perfume,
Snowdrop, Purveyor mare, Cavalier, Little Rosa, Bene-
factress, Lady Stanley, Ishmael, Queen of Darkness, Can-
non Ball, Lucifer,
.King Victor, Alpenstock, Marmite,
Glamis, Chippenham, Hippie, Jasper, Director, Hermione
colt, Nya• za, Nine Elms, Gloire de Dijon, Nelly Rose,
Morning Star, Typhon, and Thor. King Charming, being
amiss, has done nothing the last few days. Van Amburgh
has an ived at Godding's to be trained.

KINGSCLER.E..-I have not seen Rlsicrucim out, and I
must advise your subscribers not to back him at present
for the St. Leger. I have grave doubts respecting him.
His long absence from work makes- m 5 think there must
be something wrong, which I am at present unable to
fathom. We shall, I believe, have no horses run next
week. All our horses, with the exception of Rosi, are in
fair work.

LAMBOURNE.—I see that Alexandra Park, Chelmsford,
and Worcester Meetings take place next week, but I have
not seen the programme of Alexandra Park, so I can't say
much about it. I see we have Mexico engaged in the
Palace Handicap. He is well, and if he should run will
take his own part in the race. We have Vortigern in the
Goodwood Stakes, and he is doing well, but I should
think that he will not do, for ho has got quite enough on
him. Mayflower is engaged in the Worcester Handicap,
and bhe is going on as well as she can do.

RicHmosp.—There has been very little of importance
doing by our horses the last three d Lys, as we have thirty
at Newcastle, as well as all our trainees, therefore these
left at home are restricted to their ordinary work. I s3e
they were very successful on the op3ning day, but out of
it the next, 11.3 1 expected. At the Alcxaudea Park Meet-
ing I notice Rel Tub in the Palace Ilindicap, bat ho is a
moderate horse, though he has done plenty of work of
late. In Vie Cumberland Plate wa have nine horses in
good work, all d Aug well, and ono or two I shall keep a
special eye on for that event.

ILSLEY. —At the Alexandra Park Meeting, Dalby, Viri-
dis, Achievement, Milton, and Orion are engaged iu the
Grand Prize. Dalby is only taking half-mile cantors.
Viridis is doing steady maa work, looking and going well.
Achievement silo we her form at Stockbridge. Milton is fit
and well, but not class enough for this event. Orion will
therefore be our best. He is daily doing good work. After
two cantors he has a nice gallop of about one mile and a
half, going in rare form, and over this distance it will take
a really good horse to beat him, in my opinion. I think
lie will about win. Feoior is doing good work for the
Palace Handicap, and will take his own part. King of the
Rovers, First Emperor, Black Jimmy, Arlington, Alabama,
and Miss Nellie aro in the Two Year Old Stakes, and I
have the most fancy for whichever runs of the King of the
Rovers or First Emperor. Our horses engaged in the
Alexandra Plat), Muswell Hill Stakes, and the Nursery
Plate aro well.

MALToN.—Owing to Newcastle races not being over,
all our trainers are there, which causes but little to be
doing here. The horses at ho ne doing good work are
Emma, Lapidist's dam filly, George Osbaldeston, colt by
King Caradoc, Di Spanker, colt by Oramond, Amend-
ment, Dutch Admiral, Skylark, The Spy, Merry and
Wise, Fecialis, Booty, Thunder, Kentish Fire, Tolson
d'Or, Barna Bimbo, and Zapolya. Westwick, War, and
Royal Oak are taking things easy at present.
FrFIELD.—AII our horses engaged at Worcester have
been away from home, so I can say very little concerning
them. Worcester.—ln the Crootne Handicap, Tremble is
engaged, but he is away at Stockbridge, where his form
will be your re-der's best Guide. Grand Stand Plate.—

Citron is also away, and the same re.aark will apply to
him. Flying Stakes.—Marshal Niy is from home. Alex-
andra Park.—ln the Two Year Old Stakes we hwe Rid
Ribbon and Sagax. The latter will be the bist, and I thluk
will run well ; that is all I can say of him at present.
Giund Prize.—Moslem is cluing s 'me god work daily; I
think a mile wia suit him very nicely, and he will 1.;,.$ very
bad to beat.

WORCEsTER SUMMER MEETlNG.—Advices from the old
city state that the hay is now cleared off the Ham, and
that the ground will not be opened till the races, which
take place o❑ Thursday an i Ft iday next, the rain of Sun
day and Monday last having considerably benefited the
going.

Mr. Stephensou's two year old colt by Neville out of
Madame Staveley changed bands no fewer than four times
after the Selliug Sweepstakes at Stockbeidse on Th irsday
and finally became the prepay of Mr. Brayley, who ap-
propriately named him Turn Over.
Mr. Drewitt's five year old brown colt Gladiator, by
Stockwell out of Ileuble's dam, was sold after his race at
Stockbridge to Mr. Cavalier° for 500 sovereigns. This
strong valuable horse was purchased for stud purposes
for Hungary.

The filly by Folkestone out of Child of the Mist was
purchased by Mr. Oliver on Thursday at Newcastle, and
goes into George Davison's stable at Hambleton. She has
since been named Maggie Moor.
MERRY MONARCH.—This horse, the property of Mr Mac-
kenzie, has lately been suffering severely from influenza,
and in consequence of his weak state was destroyed on
Saturday last at Ilsley.
YAM AMBURGIL On Saturday last Mr. Fleming's horses
were sold at Albert Gate by Messrs. Tattersall, and amongst
the lot was this well-known horse, who was sold to Mr.
G. Angell for 1,000 guineas.
HUNGERFORD RACES.—The Ladies' Plate closed with 17
entries, the John o'Gaunt Handicap with 20, and the Nur-
sery Plate with 21.

ODIHAM RACES.—The Greywoll Hill Plate closed with
18 entries, the Manor Plate with 21, the Odiham Handicap
with 23, and the Dogmersfield Park Handicap with 26
entries.

Mr. Stephenson claimed Mystery, 2 yrs, for Mr. ITxone
at Stockbridge on Thursday, ani she goes into Forester's
stable at Ilsley.

LECTURER.— This horse has left John Day's stables and
gone to Captain Barlow's stud farm at llaskern, near
Woodbridge.

BIBURY CLUB, 1869.—His Grace the Duke of Newcastle
is the steward elect for this meeting.
Painshill and CoHatt Monte have been added to the list
of geldings.
The report that Lord Stamford intended to immedi-
ately remove his horse in training to Danebury is in-
correct.

Mr John Darrell has named his bay colt by King Cara-
doe out of Jeanie Deans Mackney.
Maraschino was struck out of the Nursery, at Alexandra
Park, when the weights appeared.

TIPPOO SAIB ON THE WAR PATH AGAlN.—There
are but few persons in the United States but that have
either seen or heard of this celebrated elephant. His many
exploits and capricious antics have boon more than once
chronicled by the press throughout the length and breadth
of the land. It will be remembered that Tippoo got on the
rampage while at his winter quarter at Connorsville, In-
diana, last December, and made things quite lively in that
usually quiet little village for a few hours. His old keeper,
Mr. Frank Nash, who had had the care of him for eleven
years, relinquished his charge for another field of labour,
and Colonel G.W. Johnson, an old African traveller, as-
sumed his management. Tippoo was apparently very
much opposed to the change, and when Colonel John-
son approached him, a mischievous twinkle of his eye
evincoi pretty plainly that ho meant mischief. His
now keeper gave him a sharp word of command, and re-
ceived in response a blow from the elephant's trunk,
which had it struck him fairly would have sent him into
the other world without the benefit of clergy. Colonel
Johnson was on the alert, however, and avoided the mis-
chief. And then the contest for the mastery commenced.
Tippoo became perfectly frantic, and snapped the stout
chains that bound him like whipcords. After much stra-
tagem, his legs were finally lassoed with heavy ropes,
and, after a five hours' contest, he at length yielded to his
superior. Tippoo has been on his gaol behaviour ever
since, and is now as mild-manlered an elephant as over
carried a trunk.— Wilkes's 81)irit V'the Times.
BRITISH CHESS Assoc[ATlON.—At the annual
meeting of this aesociatiou, which eas held at the St.
George's Chess Club on Wednesday evening, Lord Lyt-
teltou, the president, in the chair, it was resolved that
there should be a grand gathering of chess players in
London, to commence on the 233 November next, when
the 50 guinea challenge cup of the association (now held
by Mr. De Vere) and various other prizes will be com-
peted for. It is anticipated that the Congress will be on
a very extensive scale, the cordial support of many emi-
nent players having been promised, and an additional
honorary secretary, F. 11. Deacon, Esq., has been ap-
pointed. The veteran player Herr Lowenthal, having
retired from the management, his duties will henceforth
be fulfilled by the honorary secretaries.

NEWII.IIIrET.—Our -grouui still very bard, and but
few horses are in regular work. At Alexandra Park we
have, in the Two Year Old Stakes, De Yore, Martyr, Run-
away, and filly out of Orkousta, but I cannot say any-
thin; of this lot. Palace Stakes.—Goodwood has done
well lately, and Go:nera you have seen out. Alexandra
Plate.— Sir Oliver, False Alarm, 3lontbar, Sphynx, and
Benefactress have all done sufficient work. Welter Cup.
—Pirate Chief, Musician, Usurper, and Distaff are all
