Drake comes next for criticism, and |. e too, damaged his reputation when ' fust beaten by Friar's Melody at j Goodwood. Here again the form i could not have been correct, and it I wa3 explained to some extent, if not I altogether, by "Wlialley's admission lUiat'iie did not ride one of his best i races. Drake is undoubtedly a. very i good colt indeed, though his many ex- ! celient ■oerfoniiances did not impress : me* so much as did those of Town Guard, and it will cause me no sur- ' prise to find him next year a sprinter ' Mure and simple. A couple of young- ' sters I lihe much are Legality and ; Xwelve Pointer, even allowing that ! the former is a Hit:.- queer tempered i and perhaps, not b!<\ ■•' with the best jot' 'heads. Both :..o fairly and i Mouarely beaten the smart Pharos, the former'over six furlongs, and the latter over it mile, and it will take me some time to forget the manner in which Twelve Pointer galloped away from his rival.in the last two furlongs in the Houghton Stakes. If Twelve Pointer goes on all right during the winter ruifi does not go "up in the ' air" he will, in my opinon. hold his ! own against the best next season, aiid i will, therefore, have to be considered ; for 'the classics. Ko has proved ablo to do what few others have done, ! namcl", to go fast and stay, and it ' was a" line performance to give Kins- ! man lengths start over five furlongs i at Sandown and then achieve almost I the impossible by getting up in the j last 150 yards to score quite comfortI ablv at the finish. There is somethings to be said for CO3 and Duncan Gray, but of the youngsters with the best form I prefer Twelve Pointer, Town Guard, and Legality, though thev may be caught up by some of | the"backward ones, about whom I hope I to have something to say on another occasion.

! Glentruin, iMurihaupo, The Beaver, | Eighteenpence, Petunia, Bonnie | Friend, Proliliman, and Madam Chiron have gone to "Wellington, but Boadicea lis still at Biccarton. She will not race on the first day of the meeting, but may go up for the third day. . J. Stewart has started as a public trainer at Ricearton, and already has three horses in his care.

TBENTHAM TRAINING NOTES. (PItBSS ASSOCIATION TELEGRAM.) "WELLINGTON, January 13. Rain fell steadily throughout tho night at Trentham, but cleared! before tho work commenced at 5 o'clock this morning.
