THE DISTURBANCES IN CRETE.

On the motion for going into Committee of Supply,
Mr. MONK called the attention of the house to the cor-
respondence respecting the disturbances in Crete, pre-
sented to parliament by command of her Majesty in
November, 1867.
Sir F. GOLDS AI ID condemned the conduct of Greece
with respect to the insurrectionary movement i❑ Crete,
as, instead of remaining neutral as she ought,
kept up tire flame by surreptitiously supplying arms
and . other pans for continuing the struggle
against Turkey. Had this not been the case, tranquillity
would long ago have been restored. It appeared to be the
desire both in Crete and Servia to drive the Jews away,
and make them vagrants, and then to punish them for
being that which they had been made.

After a short discussion the motion for papers was with-
drawn, and

The house Wordy afterwards adjourned.

TRAINING REPORTS.

KINGSCLERE.—On Thursday Satyr, Xi, Wulsoy (with
bandages on both tore-legs), The Palmer, Green Sleeve,
Cotytto, Vabalathus, Vagabond, King Cophetna, Pero,
Gomez, Nyl Gan, and Sister to Rosicrucian all cantered up
tl:o hollow on the Cannon Heath Downs. In the Prince
of Wales's Stakes Xi, The Palmer, and Cotytto aro ergagod,
but in my opinion neither will run. Should, however, any
be asked, it will be the last-named, but she would have a
poor chance, as she has been eased of late in• her work.
Spring Stakes—Blue Gown, should he run, could win,
despite his penalty of 121 b. Ho is likely, however, to bo
reserved. Two Thousand—ln Rosicrucian, Green Sleeve,
and Blue Gown we have three superb animals, who are
sure to render their names illustrious. Rosicrucian is cer-
tainly big, but my present opinion ir, that ho will after all
represent Sir Joseph Hawley for this event, which is con-
firmed by his work of this morning. Should ho run, he
will not only win, but easily too, as I am quite certain ho
is one of the best horses the turf has seen for years. Blue
Gown and Green Sleeve are both very fit, and if either is
wanted at the last moment, will be found formidable sub-
stitutes for the favourite, and quite capable of taking his
or her own part. Blue Gown will reverse the running
with The Earl in the Newmarket Stakes, as the distance
will serve h4tu better than when they last met, for it is my
belief that Blue sown likes a mile more. than any other
course. Green Sleeve and Adosiuda are in the One Thou-
sand, and should Green Sleeve be reserved for this event
she will be returned the winner.

NEWMARKET.—On Friday Le Sarrazin, lOuragan, and
Capitaine went a steady gallop across the Flat. St. Ro-
nan cantered steadily, and Bluekskin only walked. Bis-
marck led Paco and Harvester, after two canters, a steady
gallop of a mile. "Vale Royal cantered, and then galloped
with The Peer a mile. Julius, led by Lanark, went a
good gallop of two miles. Leonia and Lady Coventry
only cantered. St. Angela and Marmite went well for a
mile and a half. In the Two Thousand Hayhoe, juo.,
has Slanderer and Lymington, whose late performances
will be the best guide to their form. Godding has Kettle-
holder, and he is a sound, useful horse, though rather
small, and not good enough for this race. Ile will win a
good handicap some day. Le Sarrazin is a small com-
pact colt, very sound and wiry, and has undergone a good
preparation, and cannot be made more fit than he is at
present. I am fully prepared to seo him run forward.
Lord Stamford's Vale Royal I have had but little chance
to form an opinion of, but it is said, when tried with
Python, he won very easily. The running since of
Python does not speak volumes for Vale Royal, and all I
can say is, ho appears sound, and has, since ho came hero,
done a fair amount of work. Pace is a great big horse,
but has created a good deal of divided opinion. I believe
him myself to be no roarer, as he is called by some, and
up to the present day he has not been sick or sorry an hour.
From my own personal observations, too, setting aside all
"aristocratic" opinion, I venture to predict that Pace will
be at the head of the poll on Tuesday next, with the
French horse, Le Sarrazin, in close attendance. The
Prince of Wales's Stakes the best of John Dawson's will
win.

Woolcot's team numbers fifteen
horses, including Huntsman, Caithness, Scipio, Strad-
broke, Beanstalk, Janet Rawcliffe, Formosa, anal several
two year olds, and there never was a lot of horses looking
better, for they are all as clean and healthy as they pos-
sibly can be. saw Formosa stripped on Wt dnesday, and
tho filly looked wonderfully well, in fact she is a perfect
picture, her coat shining like satin. She is one of the
most improved mares in the country, as she has grown
both taller and longer. She has undergone a long, steady
preparation, and she looks as hard as nails, and I feel con-
fident she will win. Woolcot has taken great pains with
her, and it will certainly be no fault of his if she is beaten.
Helms had her at work ever since Christmas, and she has
not been sick or sorry all the winter. She is also engaged
in the One Thousand. Janet Rim:liffe I do not like much,
as she has grown tall and light, but she may win a race or
two over a short cut. Caithness, Stradbroke, and Bean-
stalk are engaged in the Chester Cup. The first-named
has very much improved, having thickened greatly, and
is now a lengthy horse—just' the sort to suit the Chester

course.
WOODYEATES.—The Ltd arrived 12010 on Tuesday

night in a van from Danebury, to try William Day's Two
Thousand lot next day. On Wednesday morning the
weather was so fearfully bad that I could not see the
result, as I could scarcely see two hundred yards before
me, but I have since learned that The Earl cleaned them
out in a canter, Banditto being second ; so, of course, if
that is their opinion, they have no chance for the Guineas.
The general opinion here is that they are far from being
good enough, in which I concur.
RlCHMOND.—Friday.—Lord Ronald, Chelsea, and Virtue
have left for Newmarket, all fit and well. Lord Ronald
runs for the Prince of Wales's Stakes, in which he will
take a deal of beating. Chelsea must be backed for the
Two Thousand, as he has greatly improved, and goes like
a lion. Mysotis loaves on Monday. The horses I hear
aro detained on the road through an accident at Raskolfe.
Beside those mentioned, we shall have nothing at head-
quarters.
MIDDLEIIAM.—We have nothing engaged in the Two
Thousand or Ono Thousand, and the only horses from
this quarter I find entered at Newmarket aro Tabouret
and Skysail. The first-named is iu the Spring Stakes,
and ho is fit to run, but I should prefer him over a longer
course. Skysail is moderate, and can have no chance.
Our Chester Cup horses have been sent along the last two
days, viz., Minster Bell, Plies', Mercury, Bracken, and
Palisade. Weather Star and Fortunio, engaged in the
Great Northern, aro also doing good two miles work, look-
ing and going well. Mercury, Donaldbain, Tabouret, and
the colt out of Viscountess, our Derby representatives, are
also in good work, and goin;.s, well. The first-named has
grown into a very nice colt, and should he keep well he
will be found about the best outsider in the race. La
Mousse is going on well for the French Derby, moving
first class.
STOCKBRIDGE. —At Newmarket on Monday there is a
match between Tho Earl and See-Saw, which I think tho
former is sure to win, as he will be found a little better
than ho was last week. On Wednesday he wont to Wm.
Day's, and I believe galloped away from all the Wood-
yeates Two Thousand horses. He has returned, and did
a very nice gallop this morning (Friday), with Logarithm
and Athena, of a mile and a half. In the Two Thousand
we have Herald and Cock of the Walk. Both have done
plenty of work for this engagement, and are fit and well.
Herald your readers saw run at Newmarket last week,
which I fear was his true form, and I think he is a very
bad horse, and has no chance at all. One Thousand.—
Lady Elizabeth has been doing remarkably well of late, but
of course cannot be got ready for this race. Athena has
done plenty of work since she last appeared in public, and I
am sure will run a much better animal, and will give somo
trouble to whatever may win. lam quite certain in my own
mind that Beauty had no business to beat her. Newmarket
Stakes.—Tho Earl and Athena are engaged, and I think
The Earl is sure to win. I hear they are going to try the
cutting down game with Blue Gown ; if so, all I can say
is, the latter will get beaten much easier than ho was in
the Biennial. Lady Elizabeth galloped on Wednesday,
led by Athena, over a mile and a half. Thursday—Lo-
garithm led her the same distance. Friday—lt began rain-
ing hard, so all the horses were sent in after having can-
tered once, with the Exception of The Earl, Athena, and
Logarithm, who galloped.
FINDON.—For the Two Thousand we have only a soli-
tary candidate, viz., Madrid, who is a good horse, but not

In

David Gam at Gst 121 b. Ho is under orders, and will run
Well. Sweepstakes of 50 sovs each, on Wednesday.—
Owain Glyndwr is a certain runner, and his chance is se-
cond to none.
MALTON.—Prince of Wales's Stakes, Taraban has un-
dergone a strong preparation, and never looked or went
better in his life; and I think ho will win. On Thursday
Flash Emma led Betrayal a three-parts speed gallop of a
mile and a half. Consternation went a mile. Blacklock
led Agrippa a mile. Mother Neasham led Agrippa a se-
cond gallop of half a mile at her best pace. Amendment,
Vedette filly, Camillo, Buccaneer filly, and Di Spanker
galloped a mile. The following, after a couple of gallops,
were sent a rattling sweat of five miles:— Westwick,
Taraban, The Spy, Viscount, and War, After the first
mile they were joined by Kentish Fire, Toison d'Or, and
The Clipper, all pulling up sound and well.. The only
horses we shall have at Newmarket will be The Spy and
Taraban.
CIIILTON.-.—III looking over the programme for New-
market I find we have nothing engaged, but we shall most
likely send the colt by Muscovite (a three year old), for
something, as ho is doing rattling work of a mile by him-
self. He is a big strapping horse, with plenty of bone,
having somo rare legs under him, and is pile fit. Tho
Scout, Osprey, Vigilant, Alberta, St. Agnes, and Cara are
in strong work.
STANTON.—WadIOW has been very busy the last few
days with his horses for Newmarket. In the Two Thou-
sand we have See Saw and the colt by Thormandy out of
Amelia. The last named will not go, and if he did would
stand no earthly chance. Ile is only up to plating
form, and is, moreover, short of work. See Saw has dote
plenty of work, and has undergone a gradual preparation ;
but I should certainly have liked his chance much better
had ho carried mole weight in his gallops. lam afraid
when he gots about 2st more on his back he will not move
so freely. We have nothing here fit to try him with, and
he is sure to run untried. His noble owner was here on

to the post I think he will be worth a place investment.
He is also engaged on Monday in a match with The E•trl,
at 101 b, which he will win.
ILSLEY.—In the Two Thousand we have Ironmaster
and Proctor engaged. Ironmaster is daily doing good
work for this event. He looks as bright as a star in his
coat, and goes better than ever I saw him. This (Thurs-
day) morning ho had two canters of half a mile each, and
a good gallop of a little over a mile at a good pace from
end to end. No horse in the world can be in better con-
dition, hut with all this I don't think he is class enough
for a race like this, and I have no fancy for him even for a
place. Proctor is a good looking colt, and a fine mover,
but by the work he is doing I don't think he will
see the post, as he is only taking trotting and
cantering exercise by himself. Viridis, in the Prince
of Wales's Stakes is well, but I don't think she will start
for it. Cap-a-Pie is doing geed work for the Coffee-room
Stakes, and will run well. Slowtnau, in the Newmarket
Two Year Old Plate, is a rice little ,horse, and a capital
goer, and will take his own part if he runs. Our Chester
Cup nags—Dalby, Viridis, and Landscape—are doing well,
as also Orion for the Derby- Lord Lyon has commenced
steady work again, and is as fresh as a kitten. Achieve-
ment is taking long steady work by herself. She looks
and goes as well as ever.

ITEDNESFORD.—The recent rains have done our training
graunds a world of good, and our horses aro enabled to do
their work something like they ought to do. In accord-
ance with your instructions, I shall be brief in my report,
as we have nothing with half a chance for the Two Thou-
sand or any other event at Newmarket next week. Uncas
and Kidderminster are' going on as well as over,
and
think they will both show up at Chester, when the public
will see what improved horses they are.
FYFIELD.— On Thursday the Marquis of Ailesbury and
Mr. Payne were here to see their horses gallop, and the
following five were stripped and sent a rattling spin of
about a mile, finishing in the order named :—Moslem,
Skipjack, Citron, Picnic, and Franchise. This does not
say much for the latter's chance for the One Thousand,
but I think it was too bad to be true. Two Thousand—
Boanerges has not done much since his return from New-
market, though I see a contemporary states he has. Moslem
has been going on remarkably well, improving daily, and
should he keep right he will be very bad to beat. He ie
also engaged in the Spring Stakes and Prince of Wales's
Stakes. Prince of Wales's Stakes—Moslem, Citron, Skip-
jack, and Safety aro all fit to run, but I like Citron the best
at the weights. He has been doing some good work
lately, going well, and, if wanted, will about win.
Friday.—After cantering, our Two Thousand horse,
Moslem, galloped a mile, going well. Franchise and
Citron galloped the same distance, pulling up sound and
well.
Lamnounsz.—We have a few horses engaged at New-
market next week, but I don't know yet which will be
sent. The Parson, Mayflower, Vortigern, Kingsland,
Cawdor, and Student are iu the Free Handicap on Mon-
day, and they are all in good work except poor Student.
It would be useless for me to offer an opinion on this
event, but I may say that Mayflower is the pick of the lot
mentioned. Glenderg, The Parson, Patrician, and Sun-
stroke are our Two Thousand nags. Glendora has been
stopped in his work the last few days, and will not run.
Patrician is only moderato, and The Parson I cannot listen
to on this occasion. Sunstroke I believe to be the best of
our lot, but whether he will run or not I cannot say. lie
is a big horse, and, in my opinion, is not by any moans so
fit as he can be made ; still I think highly of his chance,
and should he be sent it would not surprise me to see him
run into a place. Ihave never, however, seen his name in
the betting, and I therefore suppose we shall not trouble
the winner of the Guineas this year.
Ersose.—We have not many horses engaged at New-
market next wcok. In the Prince of Wales's Stakes
(R.M.), Redivivus and Melbourne are engaged, but I do
not fancy either. Two Thousand.—Melbourne is very
moderate, and Redivivus is not a whit better. Balsamo has
been doing very well, and has much improved since Brom-
ley,and although, if ho runs, he will meet different company
to what he has hitherto done, he has got an outside chance.
Ito is certainly a fine, strapping horse, and as good a goer
as anybody could wish to see. Two Year Old Plato.—We
have Jusnita, Baroness, and Gleu Stnat t, but their chance
is next to hopeless. Prince of Wales's Stakes (Cesare-
witch Course).—Atlesbury is in, and it looks a good thing
for him, as ho has only the shifty Taraban to beat.
LEWES.—At Newmarket, on Monday, wo have the follow-
ing engaged :—Prince of Wales's Free Handicap—Leases,
Choral, Ines, and Elmira. In my opinion Ines is the best,
but as she has another engagement on the same day, 1
should prefer her for the Princess of Wales's Stakes. I
think she will about win, if wanted, as she is very fit.
For the Two Thousand Guineas, we have Peter and Sam-
son engaged, but neither will run. Samson has done but
little work this week, although he is very much improved

in his action, and I think will win a good race before the
season is over. Ines is in a Sweepstakes of 300 sovs ; she
has a very moderato lot to meet, and I think will win.
Sweepstakes of 25 sous.—Leases is in ; he is looking very
well, and left Lewes this morning, but I did not hear if he
was going to head quarters or not. We have several two
year olds engaged, but none of them have been doing
sufficient work to have any chance with the company they
will have to meet.
