TRAINING REPORTS.

KINGSCLERE.—Thursday. Xi led Vagabond, King Go-
phetua, Pero Gomez, Nyl Gau, and Sister to Rosicrucian
a steady gallop of a mile. Satyr galloped by himself two
miles. The Palmer piloted Rosicrucian and Green Sleeve
in a three-parts speed gallop of nearly two miles. Wolsey,
Cotytto, Fakir, and Adosinda galloped the same distance.
Friday.— The Palmer led Rosicrucian and Green Sleeve
two canters of a mile. Xi led Vagabond, King Cophetua,
Pero Gomez, Nyl Gast, and Sister b Rosicrucian a lice
half-speed gallop of nearly a mile. Wolsey led The Palmer,
Rosicrucian, and Green Sleeve a good gallop of a mile
and three-quarters, all pulling up sound and well. Blue
Gown, Siderolite, and Vabalathus took things easy. Rosi-
eruciau is getting into duo form, but, of course, is not so
fit as Green Sleeve. I have a great liking for this filly,
but whichever Sir Joseph Hawley asks for the Two
Thousand will be very hard to dispose of.
NEWMARKET, Weduesday.—Courtmautle, Tregcagle,
and Kingsley cantered together. The Pope and Brother
to Claverhouse did some useful work. Roquefort was
sent to lead Vale Royal a gallop, and when about half the
distance was got over he again ruptured a blood vsssel,
and bled profusely. Vale Royal went on by himself, being
full of go. King Charming led 'Typhoeus a good gallop of
nearly a mile and a half, and towards the finish, when out
of my sight, Typhoeus, it appears, pulled up lame. I am
sorry for this, on. account of his owner, who is a thorough
sportsman, and has hereby lost a great chance of winning
the Two Thousand. Capitaine, Le Sarrazin, and Mercure
each went a steady gallop ; also the two yr olds, Curieuse
being the most prominent among them. Trocadero led
Dragon two miles at a good pace. Hermit was sent quite
two miles by himself. Target and Blinkhoolie did a
useful gallop. St. Ronan. went about a mile, at a pretty
fair speed. Armourer, Beauty, Kettluholder, and Goodwood
galloped a mile and a half. Python only cantered steadily.
Qui Vive, Whitby, Claymore, and Grimston galloped a
mile. Pirate Chief led Friponnier a real good gallop.
Hippia, Jasper, King Alfred, and Restitution did about the
same as on the previous day. Demonstration, Stephen
Langton, and Handsome Jack galloped. Havelock and
Minuet did some good work, looking and going well.
These have made considerable improvement under the
charge of their young trainer. Pericles, Honesty, Pace,
and Speculum were sent a good gallop, Daley beiug on
Pace. Gomera led Miss Havelock two miles. Julius
travelled the same distance by himself. Thursday-- -Dom-
bastes led Speculum and Julius a mile on the Limekilns.
Bombastes only came here one night this week. Pace only
had two steady canters. Vale Royal took a nice gallop on
the tan, and then went about a mile and a half on the
Limekilns, going strong and well. Le Sarrazin was tried
early this morning, but that is all I can tell you, except
that Nelusko was put through the mill with him.
STOCKBRIDGE, Thursday.—Mr. Briggs and Lady Raglan
went a steady gallop of about a mile. Logarithm led Lady
Elizabeth a mile and a quarter ata good speed all the way,
the crack going beautifully. Friday —The: Dauebury
horses only had two brisk canters of a mile. Athena led
Lady Elizabeth each time. Tons Day's, after cantering
once, were galloped as follows :—Regalia led Lady Raglan
smartly a mile and a half. Mr. Briggs led the Blackbird
colt a mile. The two year olds were going well. I was
very well pleased to see that all our horses performed very
respectably at Newmarket, although all did not win.
Though the Earl pulled through in the Biennial he has
no earthly chance for the Derby while the mare keeps
well. _ _

yards from the finish, broke her
Affection went a rattling gallop of two miles, all going
gilaoun
first-class. Pretty John and Weather Star galloped
steadily. Dawson sent his lot the mile gallop three times,
as did Fobert with his team. Our Cheater Cup and Great
Northern horses are all looking and going remarkably
well. The Czar or Sister to Little Agnes ought to win
the Thirsk Handicap, and whichever Dawson runs for the
Hambledon Plate (King of the Fairies) will win ; not doing
much work of late, but he does not require a great deal.
Honesty will be our best for the Sowerby Plate, and
Glenavon for the Mowbray Stakes.
LEWES.—At Easbourne, we have engaged in the Handi-
cap Belle of Kars, who is very well, and did a nice gallop.
this morning (Friday); but, as she has three other engage-
ments, I cannot possibly say which she may run for.
Tradesmen's Plate.—Miss Elizabeth and Belle of Kars are
engaged. Miss Elizabeth is looking very well, but she
has been a very indifferent performer. The same pair aro
also in the Innkeepers' Plate, but I think neither of them
good enough to win. Flying Spur aud Belle of Kars are
in the Hurdle Race, but, in my opinion,-neither likes jump-
ing. For our own Spring Meeting we have several doing
good work. Town Plate.—Sweet Buy, Tom Vernon, Belle
of Kars, Festival, and Wolul are in, and if any of them
has a chance it is Festival. Welter Cup.—Leases, I think,
will be found our best, but he has tio much weight on to
please me. Craven Handicap. —Lictor, Choral, Toat Ver-
non, and Needlework are entered, au I Lictor is much the
best, but in my opinion he is waiting for something better.
ErsoM.—On Wednesday, Sherwood gave the following
some capital work :—Marquis of Worcester, Thorndyke,
Brown Jug, Sea Serponr, Bonnie Katie, and Vanbrugh.
Armstrong seat Aurifera, Tott, Diophantus filly, and
Spider rattling along at a rare pace. Nightingall and
Reeves were busy with their respective strings. Skirmish
led the Dundee colt a good striding gallop of a mile and a
half, and Columbine, Berserker, Arupleforth, and Lady
Pam took several nice canters. Thursday. —Reeves gal-
loped Onyx, Antias, Electricity, Nanny Thormanby,
Juanita, Kismet, and Queen Ebba a mile, and Lord
Derby led Thornicroft a mile and a half at a
good pace. Foxholes, Carnage, Premier, Fawn, and
Bannockburn all went a good gallop of a mile and a
half. I noticed the following of Hughes's lot returning
from Leatherhead, all looking as if they had been doing
good work :—Ackworth, Planet, Professor Anderson, Am-
bitious, Powderham, Macduff, Young Rapid, colt by M•
Phillippe, Melinda, and the Mentmore filly. G. Simpson
was busy with Breach of Promise, Red Star, Little
Tommy, Blondin, and Bay Rosalind colt. Friday.—Ailes-
bury, Warlike, Redivivus, Merry Andrew, Uucas, Cecil,
Pocket Hercules, Ulan, Owen Ros., Elector, Mulgrave,
Shepherdess, and Shinible Shamble, after several canters,
wont twice up to the old Mile-past. Aurifera and Spider
went a good gallop of a mile and a half. Skirmish and
Dundee colt were sent a nice gallop. Beeswing is still an
absentee, and as the Chester Cup day is getting so near, I
fear her chance is extinguished.
MaizoN.--Our horses doing goal work on Tuesday
were Camillo, the Buccaneer filly, Mother Noasham, Di
Spanker, Agrippa, the Vedette filly, Blacklock, Fectalis,
Loyal Oak, My Lord, Baby Whip, 'thankful, Kentish Fire,
The Clipper, Merry and Wise, 'Coition d'Or, and Betrayal.
Wednesday—Westwiek, Viscount, War, Taraban, Zapolya,
Fecialis, My Lord, Royal Oak, Ruby Whip, Thunder, and
Betrayal were being sent along. Thursday—Flash
Emma, The Cure colt, and Consternation took a couple of
brisk canters. The first named is a good-looking mare,
and has been on a visit to Cramond. Betrayal had a
three-parts speed gallop of a mile and a half. Camillo led
Buccaneer filly and Agrippa a rasping gallop of a mile.
Tke Vedette filly took a similar spin by herself. Mother
Neasltam and Di Spanker galloped at a moderate
pace. Blacklock had a couple of gallops of a mile,
and no horse can be doing better than this one.
George Osbaldeston, Malta, and Lady Zetland were doing
work on private ground ; they are looking remarkably
well. Traitress, Mountain Maid, and Punster are engaged
at York, and they have been doing three and four-mile
gallops daily. The last-named has much improved since
he last ran. The following will leave here on Tuesday
morning for their Thitsk engagements:—Camillo, Mother
Neasham, Malta, and Zapolya, while War is expected to
go. The above have undergone a strong preparation, and
are fit to run.

RICIMOND.—On Wednesday El Cid had a steady gallop
of two miles. Geant des Batailles, Hermosa, Brantingham,
Brennus, Valtz, and Felucca cantered smartly. Moldavia,
followed at a distance by Stella, wont the long gallop. Ca-
prera galloped a mile steadily, and the Vedette filly went two
miles at half-speed. Polecat, Sorcerer, Gleaner, Ashbank,
Rel Tub, Camerino colt, Sweet An ale, Sleeping Maggie, An-
nie, and Ladas did good work. Lord Ronald led Chelsea,
Virtue, and Buttercup a steady gallop of a mile and three-
quarters. Circe, Retort, and Sawyer were walking ; the
latter, however, previously took a gentle canter. Lord
Bothwell, Evelina, Hector, Quality, Raunds, Plaudit,
Dryad, Dutchman's Daughter filly, Mafir, and The Hind
did some pod work. Mysotis and Dutch Admiral gal-
loped a mile steadily. Strathconan and Scotchman's Pride
were piloted in a good two-mile gallop by Wee-Wee
Flower. Thursday—Strathconan, Scotchman's Pride, and
Wee-Wee Flower did the same amount of work as on the
previous day. Mysotis galloped. Moldavia, Stella, Ca-
prera, Sorcerer, Rel Tub, Ashbank, and the Vedette filly
were sent a nice gallop. Lord Ronald, Chelsea, Virtue,
Buttercup, and Raunds had a rattling good gallop, all
going well. Raunds then led Plaudit two miles at a'
steady pace.

FINDON. -It is gratifying to see a good animal in our
stable once more in the little daughter of Nutbourno and
Miss Vivian, and I think when the autumn brings out
Tasman, Martinique, and some more, we shall show
the public another or two. Next week a few of our
horses will be sent to Lewes. In the Town Plate we have
Helder and Miss Martha. Both have done plenty of work
and aro fit. Chester Cup•—Romping Girl and Sister to
Vedette are away, but the others engaged are going on
well. No horse could look or go better than Owain Glyn-
dwr. It is Sir Richard Bulkeley's intention to run his
horse at Newmarket on the Wednesday of the First Spring
Meeting, and ho is a certain runner also for the prize on
the Rhodee, and the public may rest assured that they will
get au honest and straight run for their money. Thalia
has again gitutocl IY9rkt but Pin hae waly been out mils, 1

and I sin sorry to say her temper is not so good as it used
to be. Nelaton seems to be a good steady horse, and con-
tinues to improve daily ; some day o: other he will win a
good race. I think that he is especially suited to a flat
course. Of all the horses we have here, I see none that
has improved more than Madrid, and although I can only
consider him to be second class, yet there is no saying
what situation a good sound horse might fight himself
into.

ILSLEY, Wednesday.—After two half-mile canters Dalby
led Viridis another a little over a mile. Hatumerton, Sala-
manca, Canard, and Finesse went a mile and a half.
Thursday.—Dalby and Viridis had their usual canters and
a gallop of about a mile, going remarkably well. Although
these two Chester Cup horses are not doing very strong
work, they are in fine condition, and will be quite fit by the
day. Orion, Ironmaster, and Landscape are doing well for
their coming engagements. Vampire, Yardarm, Chivalry,
and the colt by Wild Dayrell out of Phony are in the
Lewes Spring Handley, and I like the last, named the
best at the weights. He is very well, and goes in good
form. Town Plate.— Dawdle, Tumbler, Goodfellow, Lady
Clinton, Chivalry, Proctor, Canard, and Arkadi are all
well, and whichever Mr. Bennett rum will ba bad to beat.
Welter Cup.—Feodor is well, but has not lone much work
of late. Goodfellow will win the Craven Handicap if
'wanted.

STANTON, Wedneslay.—See-Saw only cantered. Ruric,
Orne, and Attack colt went a two miles and a half gallop.
The Returned, Jeanie Deans, Lady liighthorn, Souve-
nance, Fidelia, Batonnier, Balk colt, and the Morella filly
went a mile and a half at full speed. Sister to Albrighten
galloped the same distance. &Riot, Parma, Jove, Miss
Agnes filly, Tarquin, Palmitin°, and Abyssinia galloped a
mile. Thursday —Rorie, See-Saw, and Lady Ilighthorn
galloped two miles, the last-named going well. Christmas
Carol, Sportsman, Jezabel, and Grey Stocking were only
walking. _ _ _

HEDNESFORD.-Our trainers having been at LichfiAl
very little has been doing here since my last report. Our
C'erby pony, Uncas, is doing wonderfully well, and is as
sound as a roach. He will take his own part amongst all
the big-'uns. Of the others trained here lam very partial
to Kidderminster, who is a very compact horse, and is in
splendid fettle.

LAMBOURNE.—Since my last report Knight has been
sending along Lady Rosehill, Child of the Islands, Patri-
cian, Curfew Bell, Kingsland, and some two year olds. In
Bates's lot, Prince George, Grand Duke, Musa, and the
youngsters have done well. Wetherell has been busy with
Rhino Wine, Lady Diana, The Don, Spitfire, Singapore,
and The Duke of Beaufort. Smith has been looking well
to Mexico, who I see is engaged at Manchester on Satur-
day, but
,I don't think he will run there, but go to Lewes
in preference, where he has two engagements. He is very
well, and his form your readers saw at West Drayton•
Patrician and Musa are also entered at Lewes, and 1 should
say Patrician is the best in for the Craven Handicap.
CHILTON.—Very little took place on Wednesday, the
horses doing most work being Virginia Creeper, Second-
hand, Alberta, Triana, Woodman, Chateau, Margeaux, St.
Agnes, M.A., The Scout, Country Bumpkin, Congratula-
tor, Pelisse, and the Muscovite colt. Lilac and Precocious
have been stopped in their work, but for what reasons I
cannot tell, as both wore doing as well as any horses could
do. They are engaged at Lewes, where we have a lot
more entered. Thursday—Country Bumpkin, St. Agnes,
The Scout, and the Muscovite colt galloped about three-
quarters of a mile. Virginia Creeper went a mile and a
half at a good pace. Secondhand joined in to lead her the
last three quarters, and no horse could go better than the
" Creeper." Her form at Bromley was all moonshine.
Alberta led St. Agnes, and the Muscovite colt went about
half a mile. M.A. led the following two half-mile gallops:
—Hazlewood, Congratulator, Pelisse, and another. Actaaa
is being led about in the paddock, but nothing is amiss
with her that I can see.

Ottoman, after winning the Subscription Plate at New-
market, was claimed by Mr. Woolcott, who subsequently
resold him to Mr. Bromsgrove.

Bedlimit°, winner of the Handicap Selling Chase at
Kingsbury, was sold to Mr. Toynbee for 115 guineas.
Mr. Alwyn's horses, Knight of Downe and Heather
Bell, have not changed hands. Theyhave merely changed
stables, having left Brighton for Pitt-place, Epsom.
AUTUMN STEEPLE CHASE FIXTURES.—The next meet-
ing at Streatham has been fixed for October 9 and 10 ;
and Croydon will take place, as usual, on November 24
and two following days.

ACCIDENT TO MR. S. J. WELFITT.— We regret to state
that Mr. Welfitt, while witnessing the races at Tamworth
on Monday last, was knocked down by one of the horsei
in the races, whereby three of his ribs were fractured.
HARPENDEN RACE COURSE.—Much-needed improve-
ments have been effected recently at the turn into the
straight by taking in an additional sweep of ground, thus
making the turn and the course generally quite unob-
jectionable.

Look Out, after performing badly in the Selling Race at
Kingsbury on Monday, changed hands for 13gs, and he
was re named Blue Post prior to running in a similar
event on the second day.

Comet, who dislocated his neck at Kingsbury on Mon-
day, had been purchased for 10 gs only a low minutes
prior to the raco by 11. Ellison, in whose colours the ill-
fated animal ran.

The Van Galen colt, after winning at Catterick on
Friday, was named Fleet.

The assumed name of Mr. George Reginald has been
registered.
Stagsbaw Bank (Hexham) Races are announced for
April 22.
Lord Westmorland has given The Star to James Goiter.
Dunblane, by Dundee, obtained the first prize of £lO at
the entire horse show held at Carmarthen, on Wednesday
last, for the best thorough bred stallions for getting hun-
ters, given by Valentine Davis, Esq., and exhibited by Mr.
J. E. Rees, Berthlwyd, Pembrokeshire.
THE LATE EAST SOMERSET HUNT STEEPLECILASE.—III
answer to numerous inquiries respecting the bets on this
event, we have to state that as Woodbury Hill was dis-
qualified for not carrying the extra weight assigned to pro-
fessional riders, parties must pay on Moose, to whom the
race has been awardod.

MEATH HUNT AND NAVAN RACES.—Those it may con-
cern are reminded that entries for the Meath Hunt and
Bellinter Cup must be made on or before the 25th inst.
Other events close on May-day.
BROMYARD RACES.—We are requested to remind patrons
of this spirited meeting that the Herefordshire Stakes
(Handicap) and the Cup close on Thursday next to the
Messrs. Weatherby or Mr. Philpott, the hon. secretary, on
the spot.

MARKETS—(This Day.)

COLONIAL AND FOREIGN PRODUCE.
Tho colonial and foreign produce trades have a quieter
tone, but without any general change in the tendency of
prices, cotton being almost the only article exhibiting de-
pression. During the week the imports of several kinds
of produce have sensibly increased: and as these will
shortly furnish a better and more ample choice, dealers
withhold their operations as far as it is practicable to
secure the advantage of choice which will thus be
afforded. For the ensuing week, however, the supplies
declared for disposal aro only moderate, excepting of
cocoa, the imports of which are being brought forward
somewhat largely. The business of the week, although
interrupted by the Easter holidays, sums up a fair aggre-
gate, and shows an advance of Gd to 9d in sugar ; firm
rates for coloury coffee ; a slight decline for infe-
rior. Stationary rates for rico, spices, and saltpetre,
hemp, jute, and all dye goods, except Dutch, which
is 2s 6d per cwt. lower, and cochineal, which
is a partial ld per pound dearer. The changes in oils aro
a rise of 6d in linseed, 6d to is in rapeseed, and a decline
of £2 to £3 in the quotation of sperm. MotaLs range from
genera], and copper is £2 per ton higher.
