TRAINING REPORTS.

CIIILTON.—The following horses are in strong work for
their engagements at Bromley:—Sprite, Maesgwatha,
Virginia Creeper, Laura, Vigilant, and Triana. The last-
named and Virginia Creeper are engaged in the Spring
Handicap, and the "Creeper" will take a lot of beating, as
she is in first-rate form now. Triana is also engaged in
the Bromley Plate and the Beckenham Handicap, and
ought to win one of them. Laura is in the Bickley Stakes,
but she will not have much chance of winning. Vigilant
I need not say much of, as your readers well know his
form. He is engaged in the Hurdle Race and the Steeple-
chase of 40 sovs. Railway Steeplechase—Maesgwatha is
very moderate. Keni Open Steeplechase— We have Sprite
in, but I cannot think that ho will be able to pull this off.
Second Hand, I see, cut up wretchedly at Northampton,
but I still think there is a good race left in her. Others
doing good work are Osprey, Precocious, M.A., Lilac,.
Careful, Congratulator, colt by Joskin, filly by Caliban,
The Scout, and Alberta. The latter is pulling flesh off
fast, and will be wanted shortly.
LEWES.—There is nothing of Drewitt's engaged next
•
week, but the following horses are doing good work :
Ines, Samson, Lictor, York, Burford, Wiuchilsoa, Artist,
Pontus, Woful, Wanderer, and a lot of others. This
morning (Friday), Ines, Lictor, Samson, and York, after
cantering a mile, were sent a two-mile gallop at a fair pace,
and most likely some of them will be sent to Newmarket
First Spring Meeting, as several are engaged in the free
handicaps and the Newmarket Handicap. T. Read's
Needloworker, Shamrock, and Lady Lavender have done
steady work since my last, and will most likely run at our
Spring Meeting. T. Road's Belle of Kars, I see, is in the
Bickley Stakes at Bromley, with a very light weight on
and she ought to win it, if worth keeping in training, but
she performed very indifferently at the Southdown Hunt.
She might, however, do better on the flat.
ILSLEY.—There has been very little doing here this
week. On Tuesday Dalby had two short canters and a
steady gallop of about one mile, going well. Viridis took
some walking and trotting exercise, looking first-class.
Wednesday and Thursday morning the same amount
of work was got through by the two Chester Cup horses,
and they are in the bloom of health and condition. Land-
scape is also doing remarkably well for the Chester Cup,
and he will take his own part among the throe year olds.
Orion has done some useful work since Epsom. lie was
out on Thursday with the two year olds, and Oliver
Reeves was here to see him at exercise for Matthew Paw-
son's stable at Newmarket.

HEDNESFORD.—We have had two fresh arrivals since
my last in Vermicelli and a good-looking colt from Ire-
land. The next will be a very dead oue with us ; but for
the Lichfield Meeting we shall, no doubt, have a large
number of horses, as well as some for Newmarket Craven.
Hopwood has in work Rejoinder, Arran, Flying Scud,
Louisa, Lucy, Frolicsome, Joyful, Master Butterfly, Res-
cue, and Fenella colt. Cliff sent Uncas and Kidderminster
a long sweat this (Thursday) morning. The latter has
thickened wonderfully, and goes very well. The follow-
ing others were at work for their early enoagements :
Troubadour, Thermometer, Torch, Pharaoh, Oceana,
Bassoon, Sister to Flying Jib, Ambition, Dunrobin, and
Master Willie. The other stables are going on well, but
there is nothing about them to report.
FYFIELD.--111 the Newmarket Handicap at the Craven
Meeting we have Maid of Masham filly and Adam Bede
engaged. Both are only in steady work at present.
Boanorges is doing some good work daily, and I think he
will win a race this season. Franchise, after cantering,
galloped about a mile and a half, going well. Should she
be brought out for the One Thousand, she would render
a good account of herself. Tremble, Safety, Victress,
Dulcet, At Last, Rattlebone filly, and several two year
olds, are all getting forward for their engagements.
LAMBOURNE.—I see we have a couple of horses engaged
at Bromley. Protection is in the Bromley Plate and Spring
Handicap. I cannot say which she will run for, but she
must be watched, for she will give the winner of either
some trouble to beat her. Lord Paramount is in the Spring
Handicap, but will not run, as it was only a few days since
he underwent the operation of the knife. All our lots ap-
pear to be in perfect health, but there is nothing of im-
portance to mention concerning them except that Marks-
man now comes out with the morning string.
KINGSCLERE.—On Thursday The Palmer led Rosicru-
clan, Blue Gown, and Green Sleeve a canter of a mile and
a quarter. Xi cantered with Adosinda, Pero Gomez, Nyl
Gau, and King Cophetua. Fakir and Sister to Rosicru-
clan cantered steadily. Moving to the Sydmonton Downs
all cantered steadily a short distance. Satyr then led Blue
Gown and Green Sleeve a nice gallop of nearly two miles,
all going well. Blue Gown will be very fit by the Craven
Meeting at headquarters. The Palmer led Rosicrucian and
Adosinda the same distance, the crack going in fine style.
I never saw Rosicrucian looking better. Xi, with Fakir,
King Cophetua, Nyl Gau, Pero Gomez, and Sister to Rosi-
crucian galloped a mile at a steady pace. The last named
I like very much indeed, and she will turn out a fast oue.
Friday—The fog being so dense this morning the horses
did not come out until nine o'clock, when the whole of our
team wont to Cannon Heath Downs, where they all, with
the exception of Wolsey and Cotytto, cantered about a mile
and a quarter, after which they proceeded to the Sydmon-
ton Downs, but that being private property, and the fog
again coming on, I could not discern the amount of work
done.

NEWMARKET.—Friday—Arnull galloped Marmite and
St. Angela. Hay hoe galloped Restitution, King Alfred,
Suffolk, and Jasper. Blanton gave some useful work to
Demonstration, Stephen Langton, Verulam, Handsome
Jack, Pyrenees, and Bounceaway. Matthew Dawson sent
Speculum, Pace, Julius, and Pericles a long cantor up the
Cambridge Hill. Innerdale, Corinne, Angus, and Capitalist
galloped across the flat. Harvester, Paco, and Silenus
afterwards went steadily about a mile and a half. Jennings
cantered his team twice, and afterwards Auguste, Troca-
dero, Le Sarrazin, and Longchamps went a good gallop
uP the hill. Mvutgotlbetti J 1 Quago, rQrapier,

Capitaine, and Nelusko. Enchanteur led Rabican very
steadily about a mile. Godding cantered Goodwood gently.
Joseph Dawson sent the following a good gallop on Long
Hill:—Chapel Royal, Grimston, Tornado, Brother to
Stafford, Bird on the Wing colt, and two or three others.
Typhoeus cantered, and afterwards went a nice gallop on
the tan, led by Nine Elms.
—After their usual canters on Wednes-
day, Cuckoo led Espartero, Blucher, Rowallan, Lady
Cecilia, Iberia, and the Crucifixion filly about a mile at a
good pace. The Earl led Summer's Eve, Lady R tglan,
and Europa a mile and a quarter steadily. The Blackbird
colt and Dentelle went a rattler for about three-quarters of
a mile, followed by tho-Lava fi.ly and the Doralice filly,
but not fast. Thurslay— Cuckoo led the same lot as on
Wednesday a mile at a good pace. Seville led The Earl,
Logarithm, Herald, Birdseeker, Cock o' the Walk, and
Summer's Eve about a mile and a half, followed by Europa
at some distance off. Haynes had out The Duchess, The
Alderman, Robert Laundrie, and Cicada. They all can-
tered, and then went a nice steady gallop of a mile. This
small lot of horses have wonderfully improved, especially
Tho Alderman, who has grown into a very nice colt, and
I think is sure to pay his way. Friday—The same lot
were out, with the addition of Lecturer and Miss Foote.
After their usual canters, Cuckoo led Espartero, Blucher,
Standard Bearer, Rawallan, and Amethyst colt a mile.
Minnie Warren led Lady Cecilia, Miss Foote, Iberia, and
Crucifixion filly the same distance. Seville led The Earl,
Logarithm, Herald, Birdseeker, Cock o' the Walk, and
Summer's Eve a mile and a half. Leeturerled Europa the
same distance. Athena, Flower Girl, and Lord of the
Dales came home last evening, and the latter was very
lame. Lady Elizabeth is still walking.

RICHMOND, Thursday.—Our trainee being away at New-
castle, nothing of any importance transpired. Coates sent
/EJthen and Felucca a good gallop. Grant des Batailles,
Hermosa, El Cid, Brantinghatn, Brennus, and Valtz did
steady work. Elliot's Sorcerer, The Gleaner, Stockwell
filly, Rel Tub, Stella, and Ashbank did good work. The
&Reisle team did veil} little. Lord Ronald, Virtue, Butter-
cup, and Raunds went a long gallop at a steady sweating
pace. Chelsea, after cantering twice, galloped about a mile
slowly. Lund's lot were out early, and they did some good
steady work.
3.l.ll;rox.—Our Derby horse, Betrayal, commenced doing
strong work again on Tuesday. After two canters, the
Marquis gelding led him a three-parts speed gallop of
nearly two miles. Thursday.—Peck had, doing work on
the wolds, Camilla, Agrippa, Fichu, and the Vedette filly,
while Amendment, Buccaneer filly, Skylark, Di Spanker,
Mother Neasham, and Blacklock were walking in their own
field. I'Anson sent Betrayal, and the Lapidist dam filly a
striding gallop of a mile and three-quarters, and the Tunstall
colt, Cure colt, and Consternation galloped steadily. Scott
brought out the following and gave them a brisk canter or
two —Westwick, Viscount, War, Taraban, The Spy, Thors-
gill, Fecialis, Toison d'Or, Barna Bimbo, The Clipper, and
Thunder, and, after walking for some time, Taraban and
The Spy had a rough gallop of a mile and three-quarters.
The following afterwards had the "sweaters" put on, and
went five miles :—Taraban, The Spy, and Thorsgill, who,
when they had gone a mile, were joined by Thunder. A
nicer sweat I have not scan, all pulling up sound and well.
Shepherd's continue doing strong work on private ground
viz., Malta, George Osbaldestone, and Lady Zetland.
The two last-named are making wonderful improve-
ment.

FINDON.—For the Northamptonshire Stakes Thalia ran
better than I expected, especially after the bucketing she
has had. Next week will, of course, b 3 blank, but at the
Newmarket Craven Meeting, the week after, we have
both Sir David Gam and Madrid engaged. Tho former
is in several very valuable stakes, but I do not think he is
good enough ; to my mind he is on too small a scale, and
requires more time. He will not, however, disgrace him-
self in second-class company when fit. Madrid is doing
good work. The mare by Newminster out of Irish Queen
is now all right, and takes her gallops freely, but she is
not sent more than a mile. Our horses engaged in the
Chester Cup are—Romping Girl, Owain Glyndwr, Proser-
pine, Thalia, The Breach, Sister to Vedette, Nelaton, and
Demon. Thalia is away, and Proserpina and Romping
Girl are in physic, but the others are going on first-class.
EPSOM. —On Thursday Skirmisher was sent to lead
Berserker and Ampleforth two or three nice half-speed
gallops. Columbine went striding along for a mile at a
good pace. Monitress practised hurdle-jumping, and
Diamond led the Dundee colt a good gallop of a mile and
three-quarters. Baroness, Glasgow, and Melbourne had
two nice canters of a mile. Sherwood gavo the following

two good pipe-openers of a mile :—Marquis of Worcester,
Vanbrugb, Maid of Avenel, Bonnie Katie, Sea Serpent,
and Buffoon. Potter gave some rare work to Helice,
Isabella, Van Dieman, Lady Glencora, Admiral Fitz-
roy. Nightingall was busy with Nutpecker, Cecil,
Merry Andrew, Warlike, Adjntant, Engraver, and
Little Go, sending them two good gallops on the tan.
Mont Blanc went a rare gallop of a mile and a half. Cap-
tain Crosstree went a really good gallop, going in better
style than I ever saw him, and afterwards left for Bedford.
Friday.—Norrington, Brilliant, Lord of the Isles colt, and
the Crater colt did the mile twice. Nutrition, Glengar-
neck, Nutriment, Cairo, and Vision did plenty of slow
work. The Squire's team did the same amount of work
as on the previous day. All our horses engaged at Brom-
ley have done uncommonly well, and will be looking after
the different stakes. They consist of the following :
Skirmish, Columbine, Diamond, Merry Andrew, Dunstaff-
nage, Mont Bianc, Queen of the Forest, Kismet, John
Bull, Roving Maid, Tins, Admiral Fitzroy, Lady Glen-
cora, and King Alfred. I have not seen Ailesbury or
Beeswing since Sunday.
MIDDLEHAM.—War wick, Bracken, Fervacques, For-
tunio, Liberal, Castanet, La Mousse, Frolicsome, Pride of
Erin, and the two year olds of Fobert did good work on
Tuesday. Dawson was giving mile work to Czar, Rococo,
Priest, Mandrake, Harrogate, Corporal, Dean, Lady Vane,
Minster Bell, Braxey filly, Lady Flora, Mercury, Donald-
bain, Tabouret, Highland Duck, and the two year olds,
after which Minster. Bell and Lady Vane went a two-mile
gallop. Osborne was busy with Weather Star, Pretty
John, King'a Cross, John Osborne, and Jenny Mills; and
Winter was sending along Three per Cent., Ladylike,
Palisade, Ada, and the Viscountess colt. Masterman's did
strong work, viz., Honesty, Honestish, Catterick, and
Lady Caven4ish. Wednesday.—The above lot repeated
Tuesday's work, with the exception of Fobert's, who went
a few short canters. Thursday.—Dawson sent Lady Vane
and Minster Bell two miles at a steady pace. Osborne
galloped Weather Star, John Osborne, Pretty John, and
Jenny Mills.
STANTON.—On Tuesday, See-Saw, Catton, Runic, Sou-
venance, Batonnior, and Trouesse galloped a mile and a
half. Licymnia, Parma, Fidelia, Tarquin, Arch-
eress filly, Palmitine, Sea Gull, and Isis were
sent a mile, all going well. Christmas Carol was
only walking, and appeared to go lame. Wednesday.—
Albrighton and True Heart went a rasping four-mile gal-
lop. Mrs. Allan, Sportsman, Jezabel, See Saw, Lady
Ilighthorn, Runic, and Batonnier did about two miles at
full speed. Pronesse, Marlyon, Parma, Licymnia, Fidella,
and the Lady Evelyn filly were sent a mile and a half.
Jeanie Deans, the Balkh colt, Morella, filly, Archeress filly,
Abyssinia, Palmitine, Tarquin, and Ben Block went a
steady mile gallop. Thuisday.—Nothing was done be-
yond a few canters by a lot including See Saw and Lady
Highthorn. The latter improves in her gallops, as also
does See Saw. Catton appears to go better at home than
he does out. Christmas Carol was still walking.

LADVERTISEMENT.]—HoIIoway's Pills.—Many persons
are apt to regard the winter past when a few bright days
enliven them, and some are rash enough at once to change
warm for lighter clothing. Much risk attends their im-
prudence, though the inevitable ill-health resulting from
it can be readily set right by recourse to these purifying
and corrective pills, invaluable to the sickly at all times,
and doubly useful to this season when they cast out tho
impurities of winter and fortify the system agaimst the
sudden variations of, and frequent epidemics attending
spring. Holloway's medicine relaxes the skrids in, permits

'OVERNMENT GRANTS TO SCIENCE'
AND ART.

A deputation-trom Birmingham representing the science
and art institutions of the town, lately waited upon the
Duke of Marlborough, to request a grant in aid of both
departments.
The DUKE said some statements had been made charg-
ing a monopoly of the Government subsidy upon London,
and he had requested Mr. Cole to be present. He would
call upon him to reply to the remarks which had been
made.
Mr. COLE observed that there was no foundation for
the remark that London monopolised the subsidy which
Government granted. They had a School of Mines in
Jermyn-street, to which the most eminent scholars,
evolved by competition, from all parts of the country, were
admitted. Admission to the school was by payment,
which WAS high ; and a branch of the school was chemistry,
which was nearly self-supporting, perhaps more. The
payments amounted to £3O for the two sessions. The
School of Mines cost a good deal of public money, and
there was not a sufficient number of students to pay the
requisite salaries for the different professors. With re-
spect to science generally, examinations were, it was
true, conducted in London; but simply because all
the professors lived there. The principle which had
been adopted was to pay for results. Mr. Mathews said
the students at the Midland Institute did not earn more
than £3O. That was entirely the fault of the Institute,
because in the same town were two schools—one of 59
pupils, at St. Matthias', where they earned £64, and one
of 45 pupils, at St. Barnabas', where £7O was earned.
Ile knew no reason why the Institute students should not
earn as much. There was no monopoly in London as
regarded payment for results. With respect to Art, there
was an institution which trained teachers. They were
trained in two grades in provincial schools, they came
to London, and received a weekly allowance to sup-
port them while they were studying. The private pupils
paid a sufficient sum to allow of a surplus being handed
over to the Exchequer. Statistics were taken five or six
years ago, and it was found that one-half of the whole of
the students lived in the provinces, and of the other half
only one-third lived within two miles of the Museum.
Then they seemed to have forgotten that every town could
borrow some of the treasures out of the Museum for local
exhibition.

The DUKE said the subject which had been brought
oefore him was one of the utmost importance. It must be
evident to the gentlemen who formed the deputation that
the mode in which Government assistance could properly
and most wisely be distributed for the promotion of techni-
cal education, the improvement of design, and generally
in forwarding the manufacturing progress of the country,
must be a matter of very grave consideration. He re-
gretted that manufacturers were not so ready to acknow-
ledge the importance of science and art teaching as they
should. The Government had laid down the principle of
aiding, but not superseding, local effort. They followed
rather than led. There was no doubt that the position of
English manufacturers was threatened very seriously by
continental firms ; and it would be a matter which ought
to be very thoughtfully considered in every town. Mr.
Samuelson had moved for a committee of inquiry which
would help the Government to decide upon what altera-
tions to make, if any were found to be necessary, in the
regulations which existed. After referring to the
example set manufacturers by Mr. Whitworth, his Grace
said that the decision arrived at on the whole question
was one which he hoped would give satisfaction to the
country.

Professor Looms, of Yale College, says that this
winter has been the coldest in New Haven, in America,
for ninety years, with the exception of the winter 1835-6,
which was one degree colder.

The Lord Bishop of Chester has conferred
honorary canonries in Chester Cathedral upon the Rev.
John Barclay, M.A., vicar of Runcorn, and the Rev.
Andrew Knox, 8.A., incumbent of St. Mary's Church,
Birkenhead.

WEIGHTY MATTERS.—The Post Office department
having now to carry official correspondence without
charging the postage to the several Government offices,
have given an estimate of the quantity for the year. It is
calculated at 14,121,300 ounces.

Professor Agazziz has recently been lecturing in
America, advocating artificial fish culture. He declared
his conviction that of all animal substance fish was the
best adapted for food for those engaged in great mental
labour, as it was the most nutritious in repairing the wear
and tear of the human brain.

Southampton Water is now swarming with young
whiting. Scores of boys and men are line-fishing there
daily, and catch the fish almost as fast as they can throw
in their lines and pull 'them up again. Worms are the
usual bait, but whiting themselves are cut into pieces and
form bait to catch others. The fish are remarkably
voracious. They run, as regards size, generally about the
length and thickness of a man's finger.

THE LONDON NATIONAL SOCIETY FOR WOMEN'S
SUFFRAGE.-At the committee meeting held April 2, at
Aubrey House, three new members were elected for the
executive committee, Mrs. Brewer, Mrs. Russell Martineau,
and Miss Eliza Keary. Miss Caroline Biggs was also
elected joint secretary with Mrs. P. A. Taylor. During the
month several members have been added to the committee,
amongst whom may be mentioned Miss Nightingale,
Viscount Amberley, M.P., Sir J. Bowring, Sir R. Anstru-
ther, Bart., M. P. , Mr. G. Hadfield, M.P., Prof. Robertson,
Mr. Beales, Mr. W. H. Ashurst, and Professor Kennedy.

Lord Robert Montagu has already stated in the
House of Commons that Mr. Whitworth intends to found
thirty scholarships, having an annual value of £lOO each,
for the instruction of young men in mechanics, &c. The
minute which his lordship proposed to lay upon the table
is now published. From this it appears that Mr. Whit•
worth wishes these scholarships to be held on conditions
defined by a deed of trust during his life, and after his
death he proposes that the management should rest with
the educational authorities for the time being. The
voluntary State system, as it may be called, upheld by
the Privy Council led them to accept the grant ; and they
hold up Mr. Whitworth as an example to the country,
and call upon the country to follow in the way he has led

THE PORTSMOUTH REVlEW.—Strange as it ma.;
appear, it is actually not yet decided whether there shall
be a field day and review at Portsmouth on Easter Mon-
day, or merely a march past on Southsea Common. The
military authorities and the volunteers naturally prefer
the substantial practice of a sham fight to the vain
glories of a mere march past, and time, it is very certain,
will not permit of both. The programme, as origi-.
nally laid out, included a march pass at Southsea
about noon, and the attack and defence of }lilsea lines
in the afternoon. But it has been represented to
the War Office by the railway authorities that it
will be impossible to have all the men on the ground in
time for a march past before noon : and as the march past
would occupy about two hours, it would not be possible
for the men to go through all the evolutions of a field day,
and be at the various stations in time for return to London
the same night. It comes, therefore, to this, that either
the march past, for which the inhabitants of Portsmouth
are stickling, or the field-day, which seems to be the
raison d'etre of the whole affair, will have to be given up.—

CONFLICT WITH BURGLARS.--At Bolton a despe-
rate encounter took place between a policeman, a civilian,
and two burglars. It seems that the latter were attempt-
ing to break into the shop of Mr. John Lomax, pawn-
broker, Deansgate, when P.C. Bailey had his attention
attracted to it by hearing a noise, and on going into a
place called " Stapleyard " he saw two men in a yard
behind the shop removing earth, in order to effect an en-
trance into the premises. One of them, known to be a
prizefighter named Griffith; attacked the officer, and the
other burglar assailed another person who had come up to
the assistance of Bailey. The second burglar having dealt
his antagonist some severe blows, took to his heels, and
the policeman had beaten Griffiths so much with his staff
that it actually broke into two parts ; Griffiths seized one-
half whilst Bailey retained the other, and the two con-
tinued to strike each other. The prizefighter got the
officer down and kicked him several times ; but the latter
being assisted by the man from whom the other burglarhad
succeeded in escaping, was enabled, after much trouble, to
convey Griffiths to the police-station. The officer is dis-
abled for the present, and the pugilist bears marks of severo
punishment.
THE ENTAIL ON TIIE DUKE OF HAMILTON'S Emus.—
In the Edinburgh Court of Session an action has been
tried of great importance rcEpecting the Duke of Hamil-
ton's estates. It was an action of declaration brought
by his Grace the Duke of Hamilton and Brandon
against his brother, Lord Charles George Archibald
Hamilton, and others, for the purpose of having it
found and declared that the various deeds of 'entail of
the Hamilton estates are invalid and ineffectual in so
far as regards the prohibitions and irritant and resolu-
tive clauses therein contained and referred to, and that
