A perfect morning saw a large and representative gathering present to watch the training operations, which were of a highly interesting? character. Practically all of the work was performed on tho plough, which was in capital order. The trainers were early astir and sharp on five o'clock G. Murray-Aynsley dispatched Prim (Emerson) and Martine (iight-weight) for a sound working- gallop over a mile and a quarter. Commencing slowly .they ran tho first half-milo in 64 2-asep, and the full journey in 2min 15 2-osoc, finishing together. Both horses finished strongly, and if anything Martine pleased mast.

The Cornet (Griiien) dsfeateel Dazsling (Whittaker) and Colleon Mary (Manor) in a spin over six furionga, run in lmin 17 2-6seq. .Dazzling wf,s not doing her best, and finished well, but Colleen Mary again performed disappointingly.

Outlander (Berry) and Cronstadt (Qriffen) assisted over the last mile by Mumura, traversed a milo And a quarter in 2min losec, there being little to choose between tho Cup pair at the finish. Oka ran six furlong' in lmin 19 2-ssec. Bandore was going better than Glade at the end of a spin over half a mile on the grass, run in 49 3-Bseo a smart performance.

Espartero and Hawick traversed a mile and a quarter, the last once round, occupying 2min 7 8-Sseo.

They started off in straggling! order, Miscount jumping out well clear of Royal Scotch, while Domino got off badly. Misoount set a solid pace, and at the end of srix furlongs he was four or five lengths in front of Royal Scotch, with Domino" toiling along some distance further back. Miscount tired badly ovor the last two furlongs and Ijoyal Scotoh was overhauling him rapidly till a hundred yards from home, when he aL»o commenced to stop. The time for the full distance was Smin 12 4-ssec, a smart performance on the part of Miscount, though it was an unsatisfactory gallop. Projectile cleared right out from ILauroa over a milo and a quarter, the last nine furlongs occupying 2min 3sec, and Kauroa's effort was very disappointing if ho has any pretensions to Cup class. St Petersburg and St Felix finished together over a mile, the last seven furlongs taking lmin 31sec. Dan Lono (O'Neii), Southern Cross (Coleman) and Santa CJaus (Levi) were schooled over four flights of hurdles. Dan Lono performed best in an indifferent display.

Ermeneardo finished very well arid easily held Beldame in 49 l-3sec, a very attractive eJFort. Bon iSoir, Bon Ton and Peroneal then lined up, but Bon Soir whipped round when the barrier went up and the other two were pulled off after going about two furlongs. Bon Soir was triad again with the next batch, but repeated his previous performance, and subsequently remained at the barrier, apparently for educational purposes. Peg beat Nyx in SO 2-osec. Jau and Champagne wero tha next pair, and they finished'together, but Champagne, who had a>n advantage in tha weights, appeared to have- most in reserve. May Dairy mple (with a pull in the weights) finished en tsrms with Anna Cnrlovona in 49 2-ssec, Kditah being beaten off.
