?RAINING REPORTS.

KINGSCLERE.—On Tuesday, The Palmer, Blue Gown,
Xi, Satyr, Green Sleeve, Cotytto, Adosinda, Vabalathus,
Pero Gomez, Sider°lite, Sister to Rosicrucian, and King
Cophetua were on Cannon Heath. Blue Gown and Green
Sleeve commenced by cantering together three-quarters
of a mile twice, and after walking for some time they gal-
loped nearly a mile and a half. The pace, however, was
so bad all the way that it could not do them much good.
I am of opinion we shall not have any horses running
until Doncaster, and should we not have a good quantity
of rain previously, our team will then be very short in-
deed. I cannot even now say what I could wish respect-
ing Green Sleeve,
my opinion being they are afraid to send
her at any pace at present on account of the hard ground,
but I will pay every attention to her and the remainder of
this team. I think Blue Gown will be asked for the Don-
caster Cup.

NEWMAUKET.—Wednosday
was a very quiet day with
us. Thursday.—On the Litnekilas Jennings was out
early, and sent Auguste, Ouragan, and Mortemer a real
good gallop about a mile and a half. These were the only
ones doing anything from this lot. Goodwin had a long
string out, Cavalier leading Laneret up the tan. Mars,
Dr. Gray, and Astracan also did some work on the tan.
Othello went a good gallop by himself. George Bloss
cantered Hermit twico up the Limekilns. Vauban was
walking.
STOCKBRIDGE.—Since my last the following horses
have been doing good work: —Logarithm, Tho Earl,
Equerry, Border Knight, Burford, Standard Bearer, Scot-
tish Queen, Bonnie Lass, Iberia, Beata, Lady Dupplin,
Lopez, Lava filly, Denten°, and Hippodamia filly ; whilst
Harold, Rowallan, Red Rico, Arbaces, Minnie Warren,
Lady Cecilia, Athena, and the Crucifixion filly have been
doing only walking exercise. The Earl has now com-
menced doing strong work for the St. Leger, and if ho
goes on as as well as he is now doing he will win. He
does his mile and a half gallop every day with Equerry,
and looks and goes well. He has improved greatly since
seen at Ascot. Next week Ido not think we shall have
anything at either Wolvorhampton or Stockton. Wind-
sor Meeting I will look well to in my next, as I have no
doubt we shall have a few go, as Birdseeker has accepted
in the Windsor Handicap.

RICHMOND.—Since my last the following horses have
been doing good work :—Buttercup,Diomedia colt, Brother
to Shibboleth, Flora, Entremet colt, English Rose colt,
Eveline, Last Rose of Summer, Auchiulock, National
Guard colt, Annie Stewart, Rol Tub, Caprera, The
Gleaner, Intricate, Ladas, Miss Osborne, Ortie, Prior,
Nothing More, Attache, Bessie Dixon, Jeanie Veans, My-
sotis, Parasol, Strathconan, Snider, and Strathnairn.
LAMBOURNE.—Vortigern and Rosecleer have gone to
Lewes, and I shall expect to hear of Vortigern running
well in the Lewes Handicap. Rosecleer is in the Nursery,
but, as I have not seen the weights, all I can say about
her is that she is well. Next week we have Lord Para-
mount in the Bromley Handicap, and he is well, but is
such a sheep of a horse that there is no depending up ma
him.

HEDNESPORD. —*Wolverhampton and Windsor will have
the pull with horses from here. In the Stakes at Wolver-
hampton we have Tho Clown, Ilium, and Alicia all doing
nice steady work. I must own I like Ilium, and he looks
as well as any horse null 'We have five in the Nursery,
but all but ono belong to one stable, viz., Melody, Vermi-
celli, Dalwhinnie, and Monsieur Louis. The best of Mr.
Cliff's will win. We have Lizzie Hexam and Beaudosert
in the Stewards' Plate, and 1 fancy Lizzie Ilexam.
Borough Members' Plate—Susan is very moderate, but
nicely weighted. Alicia is in the 'Windsor Handicap, but
Ido not think her good enough. Hunter and Pantaloon
are also in, but both require time. Cliff is sending along
a few for present use. Retrcusse, Monitor, Uncas, and
Master Willie are looking first-class, but are only walking
for the present. Dalwhinnie, Greenhorn, Ottoman, and
the two Vormicellis have been taking steady work.

ALIDDLEHADL.--QA Yircvlogclay
.I%;but aout tLo

, ing the mile and a half gallop at a clipping pace :—For,
tunio, Mirage, Lady Henrietta, La Mousse, Frolicsome,
Castanet, Glenalmond, Fitzwilliam, Scandal colt, Wood-
man, Antwerp, Vansittart, Glenavon, Sir Harry, Mysotis,
La Charantonne, Pride of Erin, Decision, Lady in Waiting,
and Fenella. Honesty went a good gallop of three miles.
Tynedale, Tabouret, Mercury, Dean, and Good Hope were
doing good work. On Thursday Osborne sent King's
Cross, Conrad, and Minaret a rattling mile and a half spin.
Throe per Cent. galloped two miles, and Honesty 3 miles and
a half. Mirage led Lady Henrietta a good mile and a half
spin. Glenalmond and Fitzwilliam galloped the same dis-
tance. Fortunio finished up with a good three miles, and
Fervacques went the same distance at half-speed. The
others did much the same as on the two previous days.
FYFIELD.—We have the following horses engaged at
Windsor :—Castle Handicap—Tremble. Frogmore Han-
dicap—Marshal Ney. Forest Plate—Dulcet. Welter
Cup—Trembla. Wiukfiold Nursery—Sagas. All are
well; an I as the meeting does not commence till Thurs-
day, I shall, by that time, have seen the weights, and shall
be able to sly more of them in my next. All our horses
are iu good health.

ILSLEY.—Achievoment and Cap-h-Pie are going on un-
commonly well fur their Doncaster engagements, bo.ll
looking and moving in good form. Orion, Ironmaster,
Goodfellow, and Amour Propre are only walking.
STANTON.—AG Wolverhampton we have Jezabel and
Fidelia engaged in the Stakes, and whichever is sent to
the post will about win. Calton is in the Ninth Stamford
Biennial Stakes, and 1 think he will be able to take his
own part. In the Staffordshire Nursery we have Jove,
Archeress filly, and Lord of the Valley ; but your sub-
scribers had better see the numbers go up before they
meddle with these. Should thero come some rain, Gor-
dian Knot will vk in the Stewards' Plate.
Cuivrox.—At Brumley, on Tuesday, we have Actma in
the Handicap Plate. She is being put along at a good
pace, and no mare could go better than she does. If
wanted she will about land this stake. Congratulator is
doing work for the Nursery Stakes, but 1 shall be very
much out if ho is anywhere near the winner. Welter
Handicap —Aldershot is a useful horse, and I should not
be surprised to see him returned the winner, as Ile is just
the animal for a race like this. The remainder engaged
here and at the Windsor Meeting shall have attention paid
them in my next.
MALTON.—For Stockton next week the following horses
are undergoing a strong preparation :—Lady Zetland,
Taraban, The Spy, War, The Clipper, Thankful, Booty,
Barna Bimbo, and Fecialis. It is probable that the above-
named lot will all see Stockton, and pay their way pre-
vious to their return home. We have also Thorsgill,
Viscount, Zapolya, Cramond colt, George Osbaldeston,
Malta, Blacklock, Artichoke, Skylark, Agrippa, The Cure
colt, Di Spanker, and Tolson d'Or in good work. Dutch
Admiral, Queen of York, King Caradoc, Fair Emily,
Merry and Wise, Thunder, My Lord, Royal Oak, and
Consternation ate taking things easy. Fichu, Kentish
Fire, and Westwink aro still absent from the wolds.
