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 and 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 rreparation, and will go to the post
very fit. Beeswiog did not come to Leatherhead. I hear
she was beaten in her trial by Planet, who is therefore
worth a place investment. _ _ _

MALTON. —ln the Middle Park Plato we have Di Span-
ker, Fecialis, Kentish Fire, and consternation. The last-
named will be the only one to represent us and he is much
improved since he ran last. With his allowance h&c' :g:it
to be in the first rank at the finish. The Spy is in the
Clesarewitch, and has 132 en rattling along since my last. I
think him worth a place investment.
HEDNESFORD. —The Newmarket Meeting next week will
not be patronised by many horses from hero. Our Cesare-
witch. horse, Ilium, is a "gone coon." It appears that
ncthing serious is the matter with Lim, but fur the last
few days ho has been doing walking exercis), and has not
appeared on the bill; so you may rely upon my word ho
will not run. Kidderminster has been doing strong work,
and goes and looks well ; but I cannot fancy hitn. East
Lancashire, who has bee❑ doing his work with old Suc-
cess, goes up the hill as strong as a lion, and in ray opinion
is as 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 Co-
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, an], as I have always told you, ho 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.

FYFIELD.—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 latter going well. Heather Bell I think will
win the Sweepstakes and Clearwell Stakes.
BECKIIAMPTON.—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 vary 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 Cisarewitch Tynedale is short
of work. Etoile Filante and Minster Bell I have no
fancy for. Donaldbain is very well, but can have no
chance with Mercury, who is in first-rata fettle, and is
sure to run into a place. The only two likely to put in
appearance for the Middle Park Plate are Pretender and
the Lady Melbourne filly. Pretender is a long way the
best of anything trained here 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.
FlNDON.—Cesarewitch—Romping Girl, Owain Glyndwn
Retrousse, and the filly by New minster 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 Newminstor 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 bo too
much for the first-named, and the other will bo 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 Brotby 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.
