2 RAINING .REPORTS.

KINGSCLERE.—On Thursday rain commenced, falling
heavily soon after six o'cic ck, and has continued up to the
time of my writing. No horses have been out. Green
Sleeve must have but a poor chance for the St. Leger; no
doubt now she will be put in work; but there is not, in
my opinion, sufficient time should she go on ever so well.
I must again impress on your subscribers to take my
advice, and not back her yet. I find Pero Gomez, the dark
two year old in this stable, found his way into the Derby
betting at Tattersall's on Monday. He is a Lay colt on
four black logs; not a very handsome colt to look at, but
has the appearance of a rough-and-ready customer, though
not a horse that would take the eye of a judge for the
Derby. I have not seen him gallop, but my opinion now
is hamili make Sir Joseph a good handicap horse.
RICHMOND. All our trainers being away, and so many
horses at Stockton, very little is doing to report. The
principal work was done on Tuesday, when the following
did good work :—Diomedia colt, Entremet colt, Newland,
Louisa, and Man of Ross had each three canters. Auch-
inleck went straight up the moor steadily. Buttercup and
Flora galloped a mile and a half, going freely and well.
Louisa, and the Diomedia colt and Entremet colt went
three-quarters of a mile steadily. Newland and Virtue
had a rattling gallop of three-quarters of a mile. Annie
Stewart did mile and a half work. Buttercup, Caprora,
and Stella are improving very much, and will be found
useful at York.

NEWMARKET.— On the Limekilns, Jennings galloped
Auguste, Trocadero, Longchamps, Nonlea, Ouragan, and
I'ompier at a good pace. Some two year olds were only
cantering along. Blanton cantered Lady Sophie and La
Rose, and then the two went a real good gallop afterwards.
Verulam cantered twice. Stephen Langton, Coup d'Eclat,
Bounceaway, and Badsworth cantered gently. W. Boyce
cantered Kingsley on the Limekilns with Flaxman, but
only steadily. Goodwin galloped Cavalier, Lanoret, Snow-
drop, and Astracan about a mile on the Limekilns. Hay_
hoe did a very nice gallop with King Alfred, led by Jas-
per, at a good pace. The young one I never saw go in
better form. Restitution only went steadily with Direc-
tor. Tourmalin wont by liirs.lf. Hippia galloped round
the tan by herself. I saw Tregeagle out on the tan,:but
he goes short, and is not at all likely to see Doncaster.
STOCKBRIDGE.—AII our horses are in good work, except
Lady Elizabeth, who is doing little beyond walking exer-
cise. Should Border Knight be sent to Egham, he will
win King John Stakes. At York, en Wednesday, Stan-
dard Bearer and the colt by Birdhill out of Lurle3• are
engaged in the Convivial Stakes, and the first -named will
win if he goes to the post. For the Yorkshire Oaks
Athena is our best, and this time she will turn the tables
on Leonie. In the Twelfth North of England Biennial
Stakes we have Herald engaged, and he will win it. Ido
not fancy Standard Bearer will face Belladrum for the
Black Duck Stakes. Neither Scottish Queen, Iberia,
nor Lady Cecilia have any chance for the Filly Stakes.
In the Thirteenth Biennial Stakes wo have Standard
Bearer, Scottish Queen, and Rowallan, and tho first-
named will give all who may oppose him some trouble
to beat Lim. Prince of \Vales Stakes.—We have no
chance. On Thursality Standard Bearer will take his own
pad itz tlact cult Sapling Stakes, but proVivu4lll44ing lyiu
