night in a van from Danbury, to try William Day's Two
Thousand lot next day. On Wednesday morning the

weather was so fearfully bad that 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.
RlClDlOND.—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 hacked for the
Two Thousand, as he has greatly improved, and goes like
a lion. Mysotis leaves on Monday. The horses I hear
are detained on the road through an accident at Raskelfe.
Beside those mentioned, we shall hive nothing at head-

quarters.
MIDDLEITA.3I.—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 in the Spring Stakes,
aid he 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., Miuster Bell, Priest, Mercury, Bracken, and
Palisade. Weather Star and Fortunio, engaged iu the
Great Northern, are also doing good two miles work, look-
ing and going well. Mercury, Dena Main, Tabouret, and
the colt out of Viscountess, our Derby representatives, are
also in good work, and going well. The first-named has
grown into a very nice colt, and should he keep well ho
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 The Earl and See-Saw, which I think the
former is sure to win, as ho will bo found a little batter
than he was last week. On Wednesday ho went 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. Ono Thousand.—
Lady Elizabeth has been doing remarkably well of late, but
of course cannot be got ready for this race. Athena has
clone plenty of work since she last appeared in public, and I
am sure will run a much better animal, and will give some
trouble to whatever may win. lam quite certain in my own
mind that Beauty had no business to beat her. Newmarket
Stakes.—The Earl and Athena are eagaged, 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 he 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.
FINDOX.—For the Two Thousand we have only a soli-
tary- candidate, viz., Madrid, who is a good horse, but not
yet ready. He is, however, at present doing very well. In
the Prince of Wales' Slakes, on Monday, wo have Sir
David Gam at Gst 121 b. He is under orders, and will run
well. Sweepstakes of 50 soya each, on Wednesday.—
Owain Glyndwr is a certain runner, an4.l4iS.chailes is se--
eend, to none. • •
31.aVros.—Prince of' Wales's Stakes, Ta-rahan has un-
dergone a strong preparation, and never, looked cirivent
better in his life, and I think he will win. On Thnrsihiy
Flash Emma led Betrayal a three-parts speed gallop of a
mile and a half. Consternation went a mtle.,
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 wore joined by Kentish Fire, Toison d'Or, and
IThe Clipper, all pulling up sound and well. The only
horses we shall have at Newmarket will be The Spy and

Taraban.
CitlLToN.—ln looking over the programme for Now-
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 some raro legs under him, and ig aid,. fit. Tho
Scout, Osprey, Vigilant, Alberta, St. Agnes, and Cara aro
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
Amalia. The last named will not go, and if he did would
stand no earthly chance. He is only up to plating
form, and is, moreover, short of work. See Saw has dole
plenty of work, and has undergone a gradual preparation ;
but I should certainly have liked his chance much better
had he carried mote weight in his gallops. lam afraid

when ho gets about 2st more on his track he will not move
so freely. We have nothing here fit to try him with, and
ho is sure to run untried. His noble owner was hero on
Wednesday, when the whole of his team were marched
past for his inspection. After that See Saw was led by
Attack colt, and accompanied by Ranee colt, a little over a
mile at a steady pace. Ile was sent on Thursday a rasp-
ing mile and a half gallop, and pulled up fresh. If he goes
to the post I think he will be worth a place investment.
He is also engaged on Monday in a match with The Earl,
at 101 h, which ho will win.
ILSLEY.—III the Two Thousand we have Ironmaster

and Proctor engaged. Ironmaster is daily doing good
work for this event. Ile looks as bright as a star in his

coat, and goes bettor than over I saw him. This (Thurs-
day) morning he had two cantors of half a mile each, and
a good gallop of a little over a mile at a good pee from
end to end. No horse in the world can be in better con-
dition, tut with all this I don't think he is class enough
for a race like this, and I hare no fancy for him even fora
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 gooll work for the Coffee-room
Stakes, and will run well. Slowman, in the Newmarket
Two Year Old Plate, is a nice 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.

HEDNESFORD.—The recent rains have done our training
graunds a world of good, and our horses are 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 ever, and I
think they will both show up at Chester, when the public
will see what improved horses they are.
FYFIELD.—Ou 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
may 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 woll, improving daily, and
should he keep right he will be very bad to beat. Ho is
alto engaged in the Spring Stakes and Prince of Wales's
Stakes. Prince of Wales's Stakes—Moslem, Citron, Skip-
jack, and Safety are all fit to run, but I like Citron the best
at the weights. lie 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.
LAMBOURXE.—We have a few horses engaged at Now-
market next week, but I don't know yet which will be
sent. The Parson, Mayflower, Vortigern, Kingsland,
Cawdor, and Student are in the Free Handicap on
Student.
Mon-
day, and they are all in good work except p
oo
It would be useless for me to offer an opinion on this
event, but I may say that Mayflower is the p
mentioned. Glenderg, The Person, Patrician/ick of the lot
r
and Sun-
stroke are our Two Thousand nags. Glondoro has been
stopped in his work the last few days, and will not run,
Patrician is only moderato, and Tho Parson I cannot listen
to on this occasion. Sunstroke I believe to be the be.st of
our lot, but whether he will run or not I cannot say. He
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. I have never, however, seen his name in
the betting, and I therefore suppose we shall not trouble
the winner of the Guineas this year.
EPSONI.—WO have not many horses engaged at New-
market next week. In the Prince of Wales's Stakes
(li.M.), Redivivus and Melbourne are engaged, but I do
not fancy either. Two Thousand.-3lelbourno is very
moderate, and Redivivus is not a whit better. Balsamo has
boon doing very well, and has much improved since Brom-
loy,and although, if he runs, be will meet different company
to what ho has hitherto done, he has got an outside chance.
He is certainly a fine, strapping horse, and as good a goer
as anybody could wish to see. Two Year Old Plate.— We
have Juanita, Baroness, and Glen Stuart, but their chance
is next to hopeless. Prince of Wales's Stakes (Cesare-
witch Course).—Ailesbury is in, and it looks a good thing
for him, as ho has only the shifty Taraban to beat.
LEIVES.—At Newmarket, on Monday, we 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 mine 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 ho 16 very roach improved
