On the grass Kilonsa (Tremain) placed six furlongs behind in 1.25 4-5, tlio last three in 43 2-ss.

Fersen .(Gilchrist), after working steadily on the tan, ran six furlongs in 1.17 3-5, the last three in 395. Recent racing has wrought improvement in Fersen and. ho should bo capable of a good effort when next raced. l?oyal Appellant (Buchanan) and Saccone (Hearn) were on terms at the end of a round in 1.56 1-5, the last halfmile in 58 2-os.
