One brute fliw at Seabird this morning, and followed her yelping at her -heels halfway round the course. A small quantity of strychnine might be advantageously used, I think. -On Monday evening little was done. Templetfln weut throe miles on the- beach, and pulled up quite strong. Merry Monarch, as usual, went two miles fast, though there was a difference of opinion amounting to 20 seconds about his time. No horse on the course does the amount of work that this one does } ?.nd uncommonly well he looks upon it too. He should be very fit, and if he does not win something this time he ought to give up racing. King Phillip sweated going slowly round in his usual lazy style, but looking every inch a racehorse. Flying Fish went round with Native two or three times, and exhibited a marked im provement in his style of going, though he appears to me to be wanting in pace, but, of course, he haß not been properly extended yet, Tuesday, very little was done but walking exercise. Soabird weut two miles fast with Smith up, and Wee Lad went round once pretty i'ast. On Wednesday, Auckland Kate, in clothing, went round once, and was then joined by Haphazard, stripped. The pair went two miles, but the mare aeemed to have all the best of it. Though she goes badly when cantering, she bas a iiao stylo when extended, and seems to have any amount of pace. If she can jump well she ought to make the pace in the hurdle race pretty hot. Templeton went up. and down the beach four times, stripped — about four miles. Tha first two miles he was accompanied by Elfin King, who does not impress me at all favourably, and the last two by Punga, who went beauti fully as usual. He still goes short, though wonderfully improved, bub he is a, very dif ferent animal from the winner of the Cup last year, and, though he may get a place, I can't see him winner this year. Monaghan certainly deserves great credit for the way he has brought him round, and if he had got him sooner might have brought him pretty fit to the post.
