AT THE FORBURY.
This morning Guy Fawkes and Purhi went twice round the outside hurdles with with Danebury. The p-ca was made pretty hot part of the way, the two rounds hung done in 4min. lllecs. Guy was in splendid trim, and pull-ad hard all the way. Puriri also went strong. Danebury, though held back for twenty lengths behind the leaders, went quite within himself, and could have gone up to Puriri at any moment. Bribery went a steady gallop by herself. Tenipleton and Elfin King worked together this morning, the pair being sent twice round at three-quarter spocd. Punga and Ti. taira followed, the elder mare going magnificently. Hippo and Taclmor went lj miles . the pair started together, but the colt soon left his mate in the lurch. Fishhook, Fallacy, and Dsa.l Heat were sent twice round at a good striding gallop, the first leading, Dead Heat again going rather unkindly. Fishhook's time for the last round was 2min. 13isecs. The Bower's gallop twice round tne hurdles was done in 4min. 00sec3. ;he sweated a lit!le, bv.t looks well. King Philip went 1\ miles in his hood after the visitors left the ground ; lie went freer than usual, and, as far as appearances go, will strip oiie of the best horses on the course.
