TR.AINING REPORTS.

KINGSCLERE, Friday.—Satyr, Vabalathus, Cotytto,
Fakir, Pero, Gomez, Nyl Gau, Sister to Rosicrucian, Vaga-
bond, King Cophetua, and Siderolite came out under the
charge of the head lad. Siderolito was doing walking
exercise, but is improving in himself. Fakir and Cotytto
were doing gentle exercise only. Satyr galloped by him-
self two miles at a steady pace. Yabalathus led King
Cophetua, Pero, Gomez, Nyl Gau, Sister to Rosicrucian,
a nice gallop of neatly a mile.
RICHMOND.—Siuce my last report things have gone on
very quietly here, as Watson, Snowden, and Lund have
been at Newmarket. On Tuesday Raunds sweated, land
all the others did fair work. Buttercup has again ap-
peared at exercise, and she looks big and well. She is a
groat fancy of mine for the Great Northern Handicap.
Circe is taking gentle exorcise, but Viridior is, I think,
used up, as he does not put in an appearance. Lord Zdt-
land's trainer is rattling his lot along, the most note-
worthy of which is Geant des Batailles. He goes freely
and well, but I have no great liking for him for the Great
Northern, as I expect either Chelsea or Buttercup will beat
him. Adamant, Strathconan, Scotchntau's Pride, Wee-
Wee Flower, Festivity, King Hal, Attache, Caprera,
Stella, The Gleaner, Ashbank, Polecat, Moldavia, New-
land, Evelina, Popgun, Rel Tub, Quality, Philsopher, and
several others are doing well.
MIDDLEHAM.—The following horses are likely to go to
Chester : —Priest, Czar, Rococo, Dean, Minster Bell,
Bram)), filly, Corporal, Lady Flora, Mercury, Good Hope,
4ingara, Castanet, Bracken, Pride of Erin, Warwick,
Three per Cent., Affection, Palisade, and one or two more.
The above are all fit and well. In the Eaton Plate The
Dean will be our boa, and Pride of Erin will beat the
Braxey fitly in the Chesterfield Stakes. The first-named
is a nice filly, and will also about win in the Mostyn
Stakes. Wynnstay Handicap—Corporal, Castanet, and
Lady Flora are in, and the selected of Dawsou's will win
—I fancy Lady Flora. Czar is our best for the Palatine
Stakes. Chester Cup -•We have Bracken, Minster Bell,
Priest, Mercury, and Palisade. The last named is not
class enough. Bracken I have no fancy for. He bea,
trained very light of late, and Mercury, I think, will
not be required, as he is not up to the mark yet; but
he is a great horse when fit. The. Priest has thickened
and grown into a splendid animal, and goes as
strong as a lion, and should this be his journey he
will be bad to beat, but ho has several other
engagements at Chester, and should not be lost sight of in
anything he may run for. Minster Bell has also done well,
and might be tho selected ono. She appears to stay well,
and may run forward with her light weight, but I have
the most liking for her in the Westminster Plato and
Cheshire Stakes, for which she is worth looking after.
Chester Produce Stakes.—Farceur is a useful colt, but
backward in condition.

STOCKBRIDGE.-011 Wednesday our horses had their
usual canters, and then Cock of the Walk led Eepartero,
Lopez, Bluchar, Standard Boaior,Rowallan, and the Black-
bird colt a good gallop. Cuckoo led Miss Foote, Laly Di,
Lady Cecilia, and Crucifixion filly about three-quarters of
a mile at a good pace. Regalia went a mile and a half by
herself. Logarithm led Lady Elizabeth a nice gallop of a
mile and a half, both going remarkably well. They were
followed by Herald, leading Birdseeker, Equerry, and Sum-
mer's Eve. Mr. Briggs and Lady Raglan went a mile
and a quarter. Thursday.—The same lot were out, and
cantered on thu Houghton-Downs. They wore taken away
in a hurry because we should not see their tactics, but it is
no use their playing a hide-and-seek game with us, as they
cannot get out of our way. The first to gallop was Loga-
rithin, leading Lady Elizabeth a mile and a half on the
long grass, finishing the last three quarters of a mile all
up a hill ; this is about the hardest gallop on the Downs.
The Blackbird colt and Boaster galloped a mile. Mr.
Briggs and Lady Raglan went a mile and a half. Cock of
the Walk led Herald, Equerry, and Birdseeker the same
distance. Summer's Eve led Espartero, Blucher, Lopez,
Standard Boater, Rowallac, and A.lnothyst colt about a
