TRAINING REPORTS.

KINGSCLERE.—For the Cambridgeshire I prefer Blue
Gown to the Palmer, and he is sure to run a good horse,
but I think he has too much weight on him to quite win.
Criterion Stakes—Pero Gomez, King Cophetua, and Va-
gabond are engaged. The first-named I like the best.
Vagabond is out of training. I think Siderolite will be
entered for the Nursery, and with a fine weight will run
well ; in fact, I think this stable will be worth following
once more at head-quarters.

NEWMARKET.—On Wednesday Siderolite, The Palmer,
Blue Gown, Pero Gomez, and King Cophetua had a good
gallop across the Flat. Nyanza led Restitution, Dragon
led Mortemer, and Silenus led Lady Coventry up the Cam-
bridge Course. Warrington galloped over the same ground
by himself. All these went very well. Goodwood was
out early on the race ground side, but what Snowdrop did
I cannot tell. Bloss galloped Knight of the Garter, Vauban,
Prof. Anderson, Leases,Sir Oliver, and Indignation, while
Target steered the two year olds, Brother to Chattanooga,
Robespierre, Ventnor, Humdrum, Crown Princess, The
Priest, Orphan, Acaster, and Martyrdom ; Pearlfeather
also went well. Matthew Dawson's and Jennings's did
good work. Gilbert's lot, including Reindeer, Ryshworth,
Middleton Maid, Rajah, Ravioli, and Blueskin. On the
Bury Hill side llayhoe cantered Restitution and Nyanza,
and afterwards the two went a steady gallop of about two
miles, pulling up fresh and well. The Hermione and
the Waterwitch colts galloped about a mile steadily. John
Dawson's lot did the same as mentioned the day before.
Friday—Cliff's Snowdrop went a good gallop. Nyanza
led Restitution, and Silenus, Clairon, and Lady Coven-
try galloped the Cambridgeshire Course. Warrington
went by himself. Joseph Dawson's Friday, Grimston,
Knight Errant,and Artesian went a good gallop. Knight
of the Garter and Professor Anderson went well. Hermit
galloped the Cambridgeshire Course with Daley up.
Target led a lot of two year olds. I nave had at times
a partial fondness for Laly Coventry, but still there is
something at the present I don't like in her appearance,
and as I believe both Mortem3r and Restitution to have
ma le great improvement, in selecting one to stand on it
must be one of the Frenchmen, Mortemer or Nelusko.
STOCKBRIDGE.—At Newmarket, we have Birdseek,-r,
Duchess, and Lady Raglan engaged in the Cambridge-
shire. The two latter are both well, and the last-named
will be the best. I have not the slig.atest doubt but eh)
will run bettor than she did last time, as, apart from other
causes, I am told she was snffering from sexual symptoms
as well, which I have no doubt made a deal of difference
to her.

RICHIVIOND.—Wo have the following horses in good
work :—Adamant, Declaration, Bessie Dixon, the Carnival
colt, Caprera, The Gleaner, Virtue, Hind, National Guard
colt, Last Rose of Summer, Awaie Stewart, Ladas, Sweet

Annie, Reltub, Ortie, Evelida, Louisa, Buttercup, Raunds,
Man of Rose, Underhand colt, and Clarionette.
MIDDLEHAM.—The following horses have been doing
good work :—The Dean, Savernake, The Corporal, Man-
drake, Mercury, Donaldbain, Tabouret, Itch colt, Calls-
toga, Hymen, Damsel filly, The Czar, Comus, Fleets, Slap
Bang, Pomfret, Little Duke, Conrade, Inon, Palisade, John
Osborne, Josephine, Beachwood, Etoile Filante, Frolic-
some, Pride of Erin, Nuage, Footlight, Minster Bell, and
Marking Ink. Wo shall not have many horses going to
Newmarket, but The Corporal, The Dean, Mercury, Min-
ster Bell, and Ftoile Filante aro all well. The Corporal is
the best of our lot for the Cambridgeshire, and if he only
runs kindly he will take a lot of doing.
STANTON.—We shall not have many horses running at
Newmarket. Abyssinia is engaged in the Criterion Stakes,
but will be an absentee. Cambridgeshire. —We have See-
Saw, The Returned, Marlyon, Fidelia, Ruric, and Jeannie
Deans engaged. I think the first-named will be over-
weighted, and the market will be the best guide for the
other three, my own preference being for Jeannie Deans,
if they:ask her. I don't see any of our horses engaged in
anything else at head-quarters.

FINDON. —WO shall have several horses at Newmarket,
but most of them will bo fur races yet t) close. On Mon-
day, in Criterion Stakes, we have Tasman; but I think,
from the work he has done during the last two days, he
will not be wanted again this year. Cambridgeshire.—
Our horses engaged are Lady Elizabeth, Romping Girl,
filly by Nowmiuster out of Irish Queen, Wolsey, Rodo-
monte, and Hermitage. Since I last wrcte they have all
been in full work, cantering daily a mile twice, and wind-
ing up with a gallop of a mile and a half. Wolsey has won
a most extraordinary trial, and I consider him certain to
win the Cambridgeshire. I would strongly advise your
readers to be on at once, for I can assure them it is like
coining money to back him.

CHILTON. On Wednesday Aden did one steady canter
of about a mile, after which she was stripped and sent.
a rattling gallop of two miles, going in splendid form.
Thursday morning, after cantering, she did good mile and
a-half work, going first-class. This (Friday) morning ehe
was stripped, and had a rattling gallop of a mile and a
half, the pace being good from beginning to end, and she
pulled up as sound as a bell. I never saw the old mare
look iu such blooming condition as she is now, and a finer
animal will not be stripped on Newmarket Heath next
Tuesday.

MALTON.-At Newmarket in the Criterion and Glasgow
States we have Thunder, who is well, and has done a lot
of good work, but, with all that, he would do with a little
more time. Cambridgeshire.—Taraban is well and fit to
run, and should he take into his head to try, he is almost
certain to get a place. Sussex Stakes—Lyttleton never
looked better in his life than he did up to the time of his
leaving for Northaller ton.

HEDNESFORD.—I have nothing to mention worthy of
notice. All our best horses are nearly away, Cliff having
about half a score at Newmarket. For the Cambridgeshire
wo have Vex and Alicia here now ; the latter is not in
form. Vex has been doing steady work up the Coppy
Gallop, but has too much weight on.
ILSLEY. —Dalby will be our best for the Cambridgeshire.
He is well and doing steady work, and if that was his true
form in the Cesarowitch he cannot have much chance of
winning, as he seemed to run very slow. Alaster, in the
Sweepstakes of b 0 sous each, is a moderate horse; and the
same may be said of The Msze, in the Sussex Stakes.

F YFIELD.-At Newmarket we have, in the Criterion,
Bribery filly, Portsmouth, and Heather Bell. The Bribery
filly is very fit and well. Portsmouth, I think, wants more
time, but Heather Bell is as fresh as paint. I like her the
best of this lot, and I think she will win. She has been
doing some rattling good mile gallops, led by Tremble,
going freely and well. Cambridgeshire.—Safety has no
chance. Boanerges I have not seen do anything in the
shape of a gallop since my last report. He made an at-
tempt to gallop on Thursday, but either would not or
could not go, and was beaten by Juanita, Sister to Fran-
chise, and La Belle Helene. This (Friday) morning he
was out, but I did not see him do any work. .1 went close
to him, and he looks fit enough, but if he wins and returns
to Fyfield I will eat him.

LEWIS.—Ethos and Messman have been doing some
good work, and though I think the first-named has much
improved, he is not quite class enough to win the Criterion
Stakes at Newmarket. For the Cambridgeshire Stakes we
have Choral, but as she has not been home since the first
meeting, I can say nothing about her.
Ersom.—We have Planet, Master Robert, Redcap, and
Cecil in the Cambridgeshire. The throe first-mentioned
are all in Mr. Hughes's stable, and if either of them has an
outside chance it is Master Robert, but I have no fancy for
him. Cecil made his appearance on the Downs on Wed-
nesday morning early, and did a slendid gallop of two
miles, accompanied by Grand Duke ; and although he
wore a hood and blinkers, as ho did when undergoing his
Cesarewitch preparation (in fact ever since he came from
Canterbury), he bounded along in grand style, and pulled
up fresh and well. On Thursday he was out by six
o'clock, and did some gentle walks of a mile, and after-
wards walked in the paddock. He was brought out
again by Nightingall senior, accompanied by Warlike,
about five o'clock, but from the thick fog that was spread
over the downs I could not see what he did. He was
on Six-mile Hill about half a❑ hour, and then went in.
This day (Friday), after cantering, ho had a nice pipe-
opener of a mile and a half.

Barkey, and Messrs. Hornsby by their champion, George
Brown. Mr. Goodyear, a farmers's son, using one of

tion as possible. The champion prize in Class It. was also
