TRAINING NOTES. On Canteen hearing of the proposed postpocement of the race for the Country Girl Cup he sulked and went right off his ferd, and on being led out for his usu ' played up violently, and on Mr Lau his head go ho took the bit in his teeth, p.nd) clearing the 6ft fence surrounding the training track at Forbury Park, bolted across the Sandhills, and it became apparent that his destination was Lawyer Head, and, by tho look in his eye, he meant mischief. For'••nately Gladsome was out doing gentle exerie along the beach, with her ligbt-wai-'ht jockey " Banty" in the saddle. He signalled Canteen, and explained that everything was fixed for the race to take p'ace on WEDNESDAY, 15th; and after partaking of afternoon tea, etc., at the Bace■se Hotel, Canteen b3came pacified, and has now bee.n reinstated as first favorite. A rumor has spread that Gladsome is a doubtful starter. This is probably based on the fact that this morning Mr Bantock put the mare over the juntos,' which she cleared cleverly. Possibly this is a blind to put the public off, rs wc have it from rood authority that Mr Bantock has a lanrc commission to execute on behalf of the'stable Blazer.—Mr Roberts expresses a hone that the day will be a wet on?, as he considers that with his light weight up the heavy going will suit his mount. This morning at 3 Blazer did one of his very best <rafiops over two miles in even time (3h SOmini, but our tout informs us that he probably bad only a light weight up.
