SPORTING.
cEICCARTON TRAINING NOTES. Saturday. A fog hanging over the course this morning made it for a time a difficult matte.r to ascertain the correct distances covered by the various horses. Cutts was first to commence, and despatched Manawanui and Weary, followed presently by Choroid, over six furlongs at three-quarter pace. G-oldleaf defeated Seashell over five furlongs, and Salvo Shot was a good deal better than Rustic over six furlongs, while Bloomer was too good for Bold over five furlongs. Admiralty and Chaos jumped off at the mile and a' quarter po-.t, and galloped to the top of the straight. Here the former was pulled off, and Chaos finished alone in good style. Jewel easily beat Jib over six furlongs. Miniature, who •is improving, spurted fouu furlongs by herself. Dumlop was better than Miss Charm in a gallop over seven furlongs, and Wedlock galloped a mile by himself. Belligerent and Skirmisher were associated in a gallop over seven furlongs on the grass. The former finished a trilie in front of his companion, but very probably the positions might have been reversed had the rider of Skirmisher pleased. Shooting Star tired considerably at the end of a gallop over five furlongs, while Mauser and Sprig of Myrtle did half-pace work.
