Tuesday. The morning was dull and foggy. Mr Wood commenced early as usual. Dudu and British Lion were associated in a good strong gallop, the last round of two being done at a merry pace. Cynisca and Satan strode along at ha'f pace for abouc three-quarters of a mile and improved the pace for another six furlongs. Fienole, VonTempsky, and Parse String went one mile strong. St. Malo ran three-quarters of a mile at three-quarter speed, Alsace did similar work. * Helmsman did useful work. Lorraine was restricted to long half pace exercise, and seemed very sore again. Hazel and Gatling sprinted together. Richlake sprinted alone. Son-of-a-Gun and Wakatipu ran once round at top in company, and the solidity of the pace found out the weak spot in the former, who hobbled away very dicky. Repose did a round strong alone.
