Early in the month Princess Dorrie asserted her superiority over - the otheT fillies of her year by winning the Thousand Guinea* Stakes at Newmarket. , She was particularly consistent as a two-year-old, and her success this season has consequently come as no surprise. She finished Becond to Mira in the Acorn Stakes at Epsom in June, second to Glorvina in the Mersey Stakes at Liverpool in July, second to The TetraTch in the Rous Memorial Stakes in the same month, third in the Prince of Wales's Nursery at Doncaster. in September, third in the Alington Plate at Newmarket in October, second to First Spear in the Bretby Stakes a day or two later, and third in the Moulton Stakes at Newmarket later in the month. She was only once out of a place. Wa-'ssilissa started five times as a two-year-old, winning a maiden plato at Newbury in November, and running second in another two-year-old plate at langfield earlier in the month. She was third in the Berkshire Foal Stakes at the Newbury June meeting. Torehlight ran third to Princess Dorrie and Glorvina in the Thousand Guineas. She started four times last year, winning the Leicester County Foal Stakes in October, and later scoring in the FTee Handicap at Newmarket.

The atmosphere at Wingatui was rather wintry yesterday morning. All work took place on the outside ot the course proper, 1 except some schooling over the fences and i hurdles. Pride of Clutha and Lady Lowburn did a good working gallop over five furlongs in Imin 16sec. United Service traversed the last five of six furlongs ill Imin 13 3-ssec. Directoire worked at _ _a pound pace over the circuit and Sir Brigid did steady pacing. Troon was always travelling rnoro freely than Wairaki and Peerless in the mile dash, which occupied Imin 55 4-ssec. Wairaki moved up to Troon towards the finish and was staying on. Mag- ■ dftla shaped l pleasingly over the mile in 1 Imin 56seo. covering tha last five furlongs ' in Imin 12 3-6-sec.

Peter, Speedometer and Sveaborg galloped six furlongs in Imin 24 4-ssec. The two first-named finished a couple of lengths in front of the other. Peter was always apparently master of the situation and put up one of the most pleasing gallops of tho morning. Glenfinnan (L. G. King) was carrying a good deal more weight than Stevedore or Parable when the trio negotiated the mile together. Parable led to the turn and then Glenfinnan drew away, completing the journey in Imin 56 3-sscc, Glenfinnan was always going well and was galloping on »t the finish.
