Tho former has recently returned to fast work. Princess Val (Picknell), recording 375, finished in front of Orelio (liartie) over three furlongs. The former has plenty of speed over a short course, while Orelio was doing well without being pressed. Hi<j;b Sea (Parkinson) and Milanion (Uey.iicly) were together throughout half 'a mile run in 51s. Both bear a healthy appearance. Parquet Improving Bronze Trail (Curwen) and Estro (Hatwell) covered threo furlongs in 37 3-os. They have no immediate engagements, but aro making advancement. Tho unnamed Lady Marie filly (Tinker) and Hunting Capo (Clifford) displayed pace by getting over three furlongs together in the same time, both doing their best.

He showed 1.3 3-5 for five furlongs, the first furlong being completed 12 2-ss, two in 24 2-ss, and half a milo in 495. Gold Petal went too fast early to sustain tho paco over the last furlong, which took 14 3-ss.

Pope's charge nor Anopholes (Hatwell) were required to do their best over half a mile, although both moved with freedom. Gratcful's task was over a distanco at a useful pace on the plough. The chestnut can soon be got ready for racing. His' last threo furlongs were run in' 41s. Silver Glow, who returned to irork this week, was also on this track. There'is every prospect of his becoming free from his recent ailment. Others who hit out freely on tho plough were Royevrus, Beverley, High Quality, British Sovereign, Dauber, Bachelor King, Brilliant Acre and Miss Lovelock. High Quality, with Curwen as tho pilot, Was schooled over hurdles during the week-end. His display was satisfactory.
