The "Looker-on," in the "News, ' writes:—"Bee's, spin over six furlongs was good. The little mare looks well, and she will run prominently at the meeting.. Wars tap looks well. She was not asked' to do her best to-day, and_ she- went the whole mile and a quarter in a very leisurely manner. She has never done better than during the past few weeks. Expect was out doing walking exercise. He is very gav, and is almost sure to start towards the end of the meeting. ICooya. was stopping at tho end of her gwllop. The worm morning was very toying to any horse that was at all nervous'. ■ . ' ttingform, whoso heels are cracked, evi-: dently finds them very sore, and in consequence wants warming up before he will stretch himself out. .

On his Wellington form Guiding Way does not'look to have much cliance of ivinning the Cup. liaciug form is the best guide, but .lie is. galloping well on the track, and looks in perfect health. : Postillion goes fast,.but 1 doult like the way lib 'finishes his gallops. He looks sour. .

Cliudic was coupled with Crown Pearl and got a good beating. A few days before the Easter Handicap was run Andrea, u very ordinary hack, beat liinv but lie won "all tho same. I don't think he is seen at his best 011 a heavy track. Downham is Galloping well, and is sure to carry a lot of support in the Stewards' 'Handicap. R'. Berry is riding him. 'J'oviotdale is a doubtful starter at the meeting. ,' Ev(uottius gftT« Ogiw a ycry bad beat-.

ing. He can sprint very Jast over a short course, but is said to be a bad stayer. First Flight is'a much, better horse now than ever lie has been. Reputation, who has beaten him twice, and meots him on better terms in the Derby, will have his work cut out this time to finish in front. First Glance had over her Stewards' Handicap weight up to-day, and put up a satisfactory go. She was never touched during her effort, and it was quite as good as any other spin over six furlongs thfit was clone to-<lay.
