Taking the early train to Papakura on Saturday last I. got to " Glenorva" before French had stripped his horses to give them their morning's work, so that I liad an opportunity of seeing them taku their breather, Fiahwoman anil Harkaway were aent about a mile an.l a half,'both moving very free; aud okl Maori went as I never saw him go before -withuut showing temper, Mitrailleuse, with little Fishgirl as a companion, was seut about a iniie at half speed, both moving i.ice and free. The workover, French piloted mo to where Grand Duche&s was quietly browsing, and as we ueared the spot, her filly foal by Anteros jumped to her feet. As I expected, this youngster shows great size, and so far as boiii; is concerned she has quite her share of tliat article also. Tradiscer mares appear to suit Anteros, and as Duchess was got by the son of the The Libel, I shall look forward-with much interest to this youngster making her d<i'tmt on the turf. Yatterina being at Syivia Park, I was unable to see her son by Piscitorius, but French tells me ' tint he is a very finely-built youngster. Taking o:ir way in the direction of the sLibles, th- yearlings were turned out for my inspection. They are ouly four in number, namely, brown colt by .Musket— Yatti rina, brown,colt' by Musket—Slander, bay lillj by Maribyrnong—Peeress, and bay filly by Jluaket— Rosarina. They are all looking extremely well, and their condition shows that there has bceu no stint of feed. Of the buuch, the Slander colt is without doubt my" fancy. He is every inch a racehorse, and the neat manner in which he puts his feet down when galloping is a treat to witness. Thu stableE reached, Fitz-Hercules was the first to wli -m I paid my respects. It will be remembereil that while running in tho last Auckland Cup, this horse broke down bully on his off fore-leg. There is an old saying to the effect that "while there's life there's hope," but I must confess that when I saw Fits limp to the train, with a lfg on him about twice its ordinary size, I had little hope of ever i-eeing him on a racecourse again. Since then he has been su->jei:ted to a very severe tiring at the baud. of Mr. Halstead, and the leg having fined down nicely, French has every hope that the son of Yattendon will stand a. preparation, when taken up for Autumn t-ngageincut3. He looka well, and is oppa-, rently in greaj; heart, but it is for time alono to say whether his trait er's opinion will be borne out by facts. The scceplec'.iasev Christmas was the occupant of the next box, au Ihe looked remarkably well. The twoyear old Torpedo, by Musket— Fisher, is a well-tjpped youn.ster, but a bit backward in condition. Turning to the oppo-ite side of the stable. I strayed into Fislijjiil's box. This filly, it will bo remembered, was purchased iabt spring by Mr.,R. IJ. Shakespeare, f»r 500 guineas, but owing to that gonsUman's bankruptcy, she has again b"co:nc the p"iperty of Mr. Walters. The handsome little daughter of Yftttendon is looking remarkably well, and should her trainer hw> her cherry ripe at summer, she will, I think, take ,some beating in the sprint races. Fishwoman has not furnished much, and having her winter coat otill on, she would not al first right impress one very favourably. She is pretty forward, however, and as she"possesses a sound set of legs, should earn her oat bill buforo the season is over. Mitrailleuse haj not grown and furnished so much as I should have liked, but still she is a real nice filly, and as she possesses a good turn of foot, will souner or later win a good race for her owner. Old Maori looks in great nick, and as'thc boy ran the rubber over him, his coat shone likoa piece of satin. He has, however, turned dog so often, that I hesuate to spy oiu word in his favour. Harkaway bore a very poor appearance, which no doubt is caused by "the little fellow again putting himself on short allowance. Every trainer that has had him experienced the same difficulty in getting him to oat, arid no end of coaxing ha,) to be indulged in in order to induce him to " take a mouthful." In a box a-'jacent to the main stablo I found my old friend Hippocampus, aud I must say I never before saw him looking so well. His groat quarters" literally stood out with lumps of muscle, and as French brought him out to give him a run iu the paddock, the old fellow c rtainly looked a worthy descendant of the great Fisherman family. With thu only two chances h« received, Hippo proved when properly mated ho could get a good one, and I was glad to hear that Tiaducer's daughter Slander is again to be mated with him. The dam of Isilluigsg.ite and flippodamia, Slander pro,duued two sterliug performers, and I feel sure Mr. Walters will have no cause to regret hid action in again putting her to the bou ol Dainty-Ariel ami Fanny Fiaher. Although we are but a little over a month from the,(late on which the horses will be stripped at Riocirtun, to contest the New Zetland" Cup, the bu'iing market in Auckland is still very languid on that event, bickers to accept the long .prices oETtrcd abiui' the V.EC Detby,and Cup. As yet tho New Z aland event has been a bad race for backers. That good Lcos has disappeared from the list of those' engaged,Biuidoora followed &nit, and now »ve are told that thu heavily backed Matanaka has had 1 the pen put tnrougb his name also. The latter was backed for a heap of money, and his party, a short time back, considered the iace all over but the shouting. The winter reason now being over, Canterbury sportirjg writers are beginning to pay some attention .to the training.tracks. lam glad to notice that that S OO 4. I'ttle horse,; I'urquoise, isy again .in work, and I read of him doing his three miles, .finishing up. the last three-quarters at a good bat. For the chance of the black son of Tubal Cain.in.the New Zealand Cup, I must say I have a very great liking. Last season he proved himeelf but a few poande behind Welcome Jack; and those who were present

at Ellerelie when he recorded that brilliant gallop, a few days before the running of the Oup (ia which he polished off Soukar arid Ttin Whiffler) will, I think, agree with me that Jack would have had all his work to do to beat him in our big event had he kept right, fie has only Sst 4)bs to carry on this oceasion, and with George Williams in the saddle, he should run a bit; horse. The Hon. W. Robinson's Cap candidate, Cheviot, is reported to be ooming into great nick, and the other merning, in a strong twice round, had all. the best of his stable companion Salvage. On the strength, of the good work he ha 3 been doing, the sen of Traducer and Idalia has received considerable support of late for the Cup, and is now a firm favourite at 5 to 1. With such, a clever trainer as Bob Kay at the head of affairs, the Grip Lodge stable ] have made few mistakes, and the metallicians, as a rule, take very little liberty with an inmate of that stable, for if they come with him, it is, as a rule, a case of either first or second. With Sat 9103 to carry Cheviot has quite as much weight ast he has fairly earned, but considering that he can claim as full brothers those good horses Betrayer and Sir Modred, and also that the stable have any amount of tackle to try him with,, he would indeed be rash who would say thai; he is not entitled to the position which he now holds. Tasman is reported as doing good work, and Mr. Pilbrow's pair—Welcome Jack and,' .Envious— are also coming on well. There, are ; many who think that the latter will prove the stable representative on the day, but notwithstanding that the danghter of Cassivelaunus leads her stable companion in the betting, I cannot bring my mind to believe in her. Lady Emma iu going strong and well, as is also the little Poet. Mr. Butler is rattling Hippodamui along, and the little biack is doing her work in a satisfactory manner. Of course, the '-'race is some time off yet, and there may be , many changes before the day, but if I was asked at the present time to pick it iu thriue I 'should say — Tckquoise, TUshan, or .Cheviot.-, v

: v The fiual payments for the principal evenfc of the Hawke's Bay Jockey Club Meeting were made on Tuesday lass, but as yet nothing of much importance has dropped out of anylof the events. Iα the Spring Handicap the Martin stable have still four engaged, and in the Flying Handicap also a similar 'number. Backers will therefore have to exercise can lion when touching these races, and. until the list is still further reduced it would be" perhaps just as well to hold off altogether until nearer the day. By latest accounts, '.;.Mischief, Tim Whiffler, and ■Lebnato were reported to be all will forward',; ■".- but as all theve are in the one 'stable,' it will Ibe admitted that tbe Backer has plenty of room for consideration. From what I can learn the former possesses the confidence of her party, and although in both races she has heaps of weight to carry, the distance, of each is just to hor liking. This, being .so,' the chance of the handsome daughter of Albany, and , Malice should not be ignored, for'if she comes to the post fit, it "will take something first-class to beat her. The hurdle race looks a good thing for either.of Mr. Douglas'.pair—Loch Lomond anil Pastime, but either wiU'fibd a dangerous opponent in: Heretaunga, wuo can both stay and go fasc over the timber. • . ■ i lie Victorian' sportsman, Mr. D. S. VVallace, has' become, the owner of that sterling good colt Le Grand, that gentleman having purchased the'son of Ep : gi am from Mr. , Jost for the. Jong figure of 2000 guineas, wbich, considering that the colt , is not engaged in the V.K.C.-Derby, seems ' quite .enough.. Le Grand is, however, a very .fashionably bred colt, being got by Epigram, a son , of Ulair Athol-(winner of the English ■Derby of -1564), by'Stockwell ; hie dam ■Lei»en'l.is a daughter of Cathedral, l>y the . 1851 English St. Leger winner, Nuwminster, by Touchstone (the sire'of Musjid, Hermit, and Lord Cliden, Knglish D<_rby aud Leger winhirs). By his, victory in the A.J.G Derby Le Grand's weight'.is-brought up to ,73t olbs; butashe is said'to be a'great weight-carrier, this addition ,to his former impost should , certainly not Binother. him. His foriher owner,-,Mr;: Josf, has backed him for the Gup to '■ win about dEoO.OOO, and during the late A J.C ' Meeting : . the colt was further supported' to win aiiother £30 000;-. In the hands of Mr. Wallace: the' public are sure to get a straight run for. their money, and if only to recompense that sterling sportsman for the many bitter disappoinments he his suffere ', I hupe that theopinion of ''Warrior ,, will be borne out to the letter,-which is that " Lo Grand will: turn but; a second Wheatear, which means second to-no three-year-old in the -.'colonics.' , ' '.• ■ . . . - If there is any horse that has been racing in New has fairly earned the title of ! "Thu Con-istent,"-that horse is certainly Tasman." Last.season this good sen .of St. Albiins and. Zillah did, no end of. good work for 'his owner — the veteran, lV Dan; O'Brien—for Ifind.out, that of".,tne'nineteen occasions on which he started, he scored no loss than twelve .wins: was second; twice, thir.l twice, and.unplaced .once ; these performance's' bringing,to his pwner.'in "yeliow bpys," no lesea sum tlian£lso6. 'Ac the Geraldirie' meeting,- on. Thursday last, the gallant little- fellow proved that he still retains the £ood form he showed last season, for, withSat.llbs lipin the big handicap, he again cirried Bob Derritt (who ha 3 6a many former'occasions been his partner) home in ailvance iif his field. , A good inanj p-op e are under the impression that, by his win, Tasman incurs a peua'ty for the New Zealand Cup ; but, so far'as.l , , can ' there are no winning-penalties attached-to that

A cablegram from Adelaide announc s that the buokmaker, J. Thompson, has been saccu&sful -in the action brought by him against the btewards oE the Adelaide K..i: : ng Club. It will bs remembered that this affur atose out of the stewards impo-ing .i fee • n all bookmakers plying their calling in the saddling paddock at their meetings. Several of the leading p-encillers declined to pay up, but nevertheless rolled up on the da> to do business. The stewards ordered Thompson aud others to demist, as they were not licensed, but the "leviathan" dared the stewards to "put him out," and continuing to offend, he rras removed from the enclosure. The jury found for Thompson on the ground that the club's lease of the course was not a valid one, and awarded him £2 damages Tnere is another action pending over this affair, the Secretary of the Racing Club suing 'Thompson, for £1000 damages for defamation ot character. '"Rapier,"in the Sporting and Dramatic News, has the following, from which it i'i evident that he does not believe in the deterioration ot the English thoroughbred, of which so much has been stid and written : —" Croakers talk of the decadence ot the thoroughbred horse. He is not what he wa u , they declare, either as regards speed or stamiua ; but it is difficult to mak' , this out un paper. I'aces are cei tainly run as quickly as ever they weiv, and fjr weights v-n find Isouomy's win -in the Manchester Cup of ISSO, with 9st 121bs in the saddle, by Barcaldine's easy victory in the Northumberland Plate, carrying 9at lOlbs Robert the Devil, as a three-year-old, wins the Cesarewitch of ISSO -with consummate ease from twenty competitors, with Sit 61ba up. Foxhall, a three-year-old, with 9-t up, wins the Cambridgeshire next year in a field of thirty-two; all these performance never hiving been equalled—rarely approached. If the racehorse has fallen away from grtatness, he is still a wonderfully good animal." The Australian Jockey Club havu altered their rule as to nomenclature, so that it will now admit of English and JS T ew Zcalau'd ' hordes' names being given to horses in that culony. The rule,.as it formeily stood, was i a mo?t benedcial one, tending aa it did to provent confasion in the Stud-uook. If the absurd fashion of naming colcnia! horses after celebrated auima'd iu England g»e3 on, in these days of frec|uent lmjortdtion, it will ■3JOLI be absolutely impossible tj anive at a horse's lineage.

The betting market has been a bit mere ; lively (says " Acteon ") this week owiag to* ~ rhe sudden rush of Cheviot to the frost. Last week I mentioned that he hnd btei. backed for a few thousand, and his price"iras, 100 to 12; since then between three and four thousand has been booked straight oat auainst him, and three thousand has beea laid in. doubles and trebles, Gudeis beiqg fief If taken in doubles with him at 100 tote-" to 100 to 12.
