DOINGS OF HIE CRACKS.

Rosicrucian has been doing good mile and a half
gallops throughout the week. He performs alter-
nately with Satyr and The Palmer, and no horse in
the world could look or go better than he. Not
only, however, does he go well on the downs, but in
the market, for during the week he has been in con-
siderable force for both the Two Thousand Guineas
and Derby.
GREEN SLEEVE, a correspondent thinks, is the finest
animal in training at Kingsclere. She sometimes does her
mile and a half gallops in company with Rosicrucian, and
led by Satyr, but more frequently gallops with The
Palmer, who is a capital schoolmaster for her.
BLUE GowN is doing splendid two-mile gallops, led by
Wols-y. The. Champagne winner is looking well, and is
an almost certain runner for the Biennial next week. He
is doing more work than any other horse at Kingsclere,
and is one of the most improved animals over seen, as he
has lost the cobby appearance he presented last year.
FORMOSA, it was rumoured, was to bo tried the other
day, but, if the trial took place, we have not heard the
result.

TYPIICEUS was galloped in the early part of the week at
a good pace, led by Nine Elms, and since then he has been
doing good mile and a half gallops, in company with King
Charming. The horse is going on very satisfactorily, and
his friends will be much pleased with his appearance whom
they see him on the Two Thousand day.
PACE and HARVESTER do their work together and gallop
a mile and a half sometimes on the racecourse, and at others
round the Bury Hill, which is Matthew Davison's favourite
exercise ground. The pair were tried early in the week,
Harvester with Silenus and Pace with Julius, and both
acquitted themselves creditably, bet it is believed that
llarvester's trial was the bast. We do not think, however,
there was much in it, as the result has not benefited the
position of either in the market.
SEE-SAW, generally led in his work by Lady Hight-
thorn, gallops nearly two miles daily, and goes wall. The
recent running of Speculum has drawn attention to his
chance for the Two Thousand, as there is no getting away
from the fact that his last !year's form was quite as good
as that of the Duke of Newcastle's horse.
VALE ROYAL has arrived at Newmarket, and gallops
about a mile daily at three-quarter speed. A correspon-
dent thinks him a good goer, but says he has not improved
much since last year.
RESTITUTION has been doing good long work of nearly
three miles, led by Jasper and King Alfred, training which
is sometimes varied with half-speed gallops in company
with Suffolk. The horse is very firm in the betting for
both the Two Thousand and Derby, and for the first-
named race he is looked on at Newmarket as a good out-
sider. . _

COURTMANTLE is being steadily cantered by Boyce, in
company with Tregeagle. Ho looks and goes well, and
our correspondent prefers him to the son of Wild Dayrell.
LEONIE is led some smart gallops every day by Pericles,
and no animal at Newmarket looks better than this beau-
tiful daughter of Newminster. She must take a (hal of
beating in the One Thousand, for which, ac.;ording to
appearances, she is intended. On Wednesday she galloped
with Speculum on the racecourse, but she usually does her
work on the Long
LADY COVENTRY is taking it rather easily, but, as she
is a very light framed animal, she is doing qu'ta sufficient
work. There is nothing on her bones for her trainer to
get rid of, and before going her severe gallops it will be
as well to let her pick up flesh a little.
FRANCHISE is tearing along on Clatford Downs, gallop-
ing a mile and a half daily in grand style, sometimes led
by Whalebone and at others by brother to Knight of the
Crescent. • .

DALBY, on Monday, did two steady canters of about a
mile, and then c good salop 9t A 111119 AO He did

VIMDIS is merely ti etting about, as this method of treat-
ment is best suited to h3r. Like lady Coventry, she is a
very light-framed aninvd, and can be got quite fit with very
few good 'gallops. When Goodwin had her he scarcely
galloped her at all, and Olen the mare did wonders. When
the filly does a canter she is led by Ila:nmerton.
LANDSCAPE is anot'ter ho .3., of whom great ex=
Irtetatious are held. li t ti very fine-fr ou ,d animal, and
a rare goer. lie gallops daily in company with Courtier,
first steadily a mile and then two miles, at a good pace. lie
has been very quiet in that betting this week.

OWAIS GLYNDWR is a much .improved horse, and he is
nndergoing a rattling preparation. lle ga!lop3 a nine and
a half, and occasionally t wo miles, at a good pace, and front
the work he is doing we shAild say he will be want d ba-
furo the Chester Cup. lb is not a big horse, bdt he covers
a lot of ground in his strida, and is a likely candidate for
the contest on the noodee.

From Danebury we hear SEVILLE is onaged in leading
THE EARL and a few other three year olds iu their gallops.
The distance is a mile and a half, which is travelled at a
good pace. The filly looks well, but the furore in her
favour.in the market has somewhat coolf.d down.

FERVACQUES is just now wonderfully fit. He has been
doing some rasping two-mile gallops, lad by Castanet,
and in all probobility he will shortly take his departure for
France, where he has some engagements.
BRACKEN will, most likely, be Fobert's Chester Cup nag.
He is doing very well, an•i does his mile gallops in com-
pany with Lord Hastings in very good style
THE PRIEST is doing capital work, and will be very fit
by the Chester Cup day. He is not the lanky gentleman
he was last year, as he has thickened considerably. He
gallops in company with Mercury and Minster Bell, *F-
are also engaged in the Clipster Cup.
John Seottis pair, VISCOUNT and WAR, after a gentle
canter or two, gallop two miles at a good pace. The
youngster is a very nice horse, and it is far from unlikely
that he will revive the glories of Whitewall.
BEAUTY goes in a very slovenly manner at exercise, ant
far different to what she does when she is stripped on the
racecourse. She seems to have a great dislike to putting
her best leg foremost, but for all this she is doing very
well, and will, if she runs, give a rare account of herself
at Chester. Her owner is much disgusted at the prospect
of having to take less than 20 to 1 about her.

VAUBAN has done well since his arrival at Newmarket.
He is very fit, Blinkhoolie having been piloting him in
some gallops. We think it likely he will take Hermit's
place in the Biennial, so as to leave the Derby winner to
look after Julius and The Palmer.
Jumus is still led to work, and on the Bury Hill it takes
his rider all he knows to get him out.
HERmrr, a 9 usual, gallops by himself. He does not
work very hard, but we think him all the better for this.
He has grown very little since last year, but his action is
as perfect as ever. It is quite a treat to see him when he
fairly settles down to his work, and by the way he takes
hold of his bit we are satisfied he has not lost any of his
old fire.

PLAUDIT, whom by courtesy we must call a crack, takes
an occasional gallop.
SPECULUM gallops sometimes over the Long Hill, and
at others across the Flat, and is usually led in his work by
Julius.

UNCAS is doing very nicely. • His work is confined to
mile and a half gallops at a good pace, in which he is usu-
ally led by Kidderminster. 3tlr. Cockin's sturdy littlehorse
is looking well, and will win his owner as many races as
he did last year.
SUFFOLK has done so well lately that we expect he will
put in an appearance fer the Biennial next week. He does
his work in company with King Alfred and Restitution,
and although he goes on so badly in the betting he looks
well enough.
THE EARL will most likely oppose him, and then we
shall see if his opponents have any grounds for their oppo-
sition to him for the Derby.
LADY ELIZABETH is still taking it easily, as she does
mere gentle cante.s of a mile, led by Cuckoo. She is much
above herself, but is looking remarkably well. All opposi-
tion to her for the Derby has passed away, and those who
were eager to bet 6 to 1 against her a week ago are now
desirous of taking the money back at 11 to 2.
