SATURDAY'S MORNING GALLOP.

Don and Kepo went a good gallop round the plough. The second time Kepo pulled up, and Don continued another round by himself. He went strong and well, but blew a good deal on being pulled up. Tom Finn, who is looking remarkably well, went a good steady gallop twice round the plough. He moved free and well. Lady Elizabeth first had a steady cauter and then went a good pace twice round. She did not go as free as she has done, and appears to be getting rather sore on the hard ground. Trege.aglo and Gillie Galium went a good rousing gallop, Gillie going very strong and well. He seems to like the state of the ground, a3 he improves daily in his gallop. Tregeaglc, never a good gcer, did not seem to relish tho pace at which his stable companion went. Althea walked only. She appears to be slightly overdone, but with caro may pick up again be:ore she is wanted. Izaak Walton went a steady gallop, going very feelingly, especially on the off for-leg, and is also very light. Ariel stripped, went a good strong gallop twice round the plough, starting very short, but improving as be went ou, and pulling up pretty sound, lie is rather short of work, and evidently does not like tho hard ground. Pungawereweie went a Blow sweat, and pulled up sound, though sho evidently favours her off fore leg. Xantippe did some useful work. Jonathan Wild did a steady gallop round the plough. Don Juan went twice round stripped, and is looking very well. Whitefoot Went a good gallop iu his clothing, moving free and well, but the first time round he did not seem to care about going. Augur and Misdemeanour only did walking exercise. The Southern horses did not shew up till late, when most people had left the course. The race-course is as hard as iron, which will be trying to the horses.
