Sporting matters are becoming lively in anticipation of the races. Great interest is taken in the morning gallops. Mata had a strong gallop twice round this morning. One of the most interesting gallops was between Titania and Hornby, who went the cup distance at a good rate. Titania had the foot of the colt all the way, and pulled up the fresher of the two. Templeton and Lonehand had a long steady gallop, and the old horse was very gay. Both looked fresh and pulled hard all the way. Longlands and Betrayer went a couple of rounds, putting on steam at the finish. A large number of others also galloped. The following horses have paid the final sweep for the Cup : at.lb. st.lb.
