TRAINING NOTES. Cufcta was, as usual, first astir on Saturday morning, and sent Sir Modred and Mata, both stripped, once round, when Sir Modred was pulled off, and Mata wont another round by himself. Both the Dunedin Cup winner and the son of Idalia moved in rare form. Templeton, in clothing, led The Governor (with a light rug on) half a mile at a slow pace. Before starting The Governor threw his boy, but Bob Bay mounted him, and, in company with Templeton, the Champagne candidate, did a rattling gallop from the top of the straight, both finishing together. The manner in which the old horse strode along led to the belief that he will not be far away at the finish of the Handicap. Goodman stripped Titauia, who was very fretful, and sent her once round at a capital pace, with findings in the saddle. When she had finished, findings mounted York, and took him a mile in company with Tera, at the end of which the son of Moss Rose was pulled off, and the filly went another mile alone. Luna did a capital gallop of two miles, and Fishhook (in clothing) went twice round, blowing very hard as usual. He certainly moves as well as ever he did, but seems a trifle big. The gallon of the morning, however, was that of Foul Play, who, with Derrett up, went two miles at a clinking pace, pulling hard all the way. During the last half mile ho was joined by On Dit, who finished home with him at a rare bat. Mario Antoinette went twice round alone, and Mireille did a mile and-a-half spin. The work of yesterday morning waa of a very harmless kind, and what there was did not commence till late, owing to the heavy fog hanging about the course. Sir Modred and Mata went a mile and a half at a clinking pace, the colt sticking to the gelding oil the way. Titania and York started opposite Ford’s and went once round, the mare being again fretful, and York’s stjle of going not at all pleasing. Goodman also worked Tera, who was sent a mile and a half at a capital pace, moving very nicely. Mireille seemed as groggy on her pins as on Saturday, but Marie Antoinette, with Clifford up, covered a mile and a half in very good form. Tommy Lyford took his Champagne candidate, Romeo, a mile at a canter, and Derrett gave Foul Play a mile, in clothing, at the end of which a good scrape was got off him. On Dit only did a gentle canter, and the only one of Ray’s team out was Fishhook, who took walking exercise, as likewise did Webb’s lot. Luna was sweated.

It will be seen from an advertisement in another column that Messrs H. Matson and 00. will offer for sale on Wednesday morning next a lot of seven horses recently sent down fay Mr Samuel Gardiner, of Bundoora, who is well known as one of tho most successful breeders of thoroughbred stock in Australia. The animals are at present at Tattersall’s, where, thanks to the courtesy of Mr Wright, Messrs Matson and Co.’s manager, I had an opportunity of looking at them on Saturday last. The first one led out was Qaambone, who is by Maribyrnong from Oremorne by Tattendon, and is full brother to the well known Napper Tandy. He is a whole brown, stands about 15.2, a very nicely topped horse, and shows a lot of quality. He is five years old, and therefore has all his work before him. Q.uambono cost over 600 guincasas a yearling, and that Mr Gardiner has evidently a high opinion of him is proved by the fact that he sent him several of his best mares last season. The other six are all yearlings and taking the catalogue for a guide, the first we come to is a chesnut colt by The Peer out of Argosy, which makes him a relative of that useful horse Oamballo, as Argosy’s dam, Bolhari, is the dam of Messrs Mason and Yullanco’s gelding. The colt under notice is a nice even youngster, with grand forelegs and plenty of strength. I should scarcely think ho would have such a turn of foot as Camballo, but would eventually make a grand horse for tho sticks. The next one on the catalogue is a bay colt by Stookbam (imp.) out of Stitch-in-Time (imp.). Like mosr of the Stockhnms, he is a bit on the small side, but will, I think, carry his weight as well as most of the big ones. He is as handsome as paint. He has rare back ribs, long arms, and short back. Take him all over, I should say he would be as fast as any of the lot. Tho next one is a brown colt by Tubal Cain from Ace of Hearts, who comes from much tho same family as the Argosy colt. His sire, Tubal Cain, is a very grandly bred horse, whose stock at present are highly thought of in Australia, though none of them have ns yet performed. The colt under notice is the biggest of the team and, I think, will make a very serviceable horse. Next to him comes another son of Tubal Cain out of Paulino. Ho has tho reputation of being very fast in tho paddock, as, indeed, ho should be, for he is a very racing looking colt. He is said to much resemble Wellington. The brown filly by The Peer out of Crumbs, is not nearly in such good condition as her fellow passengers, and is rather a plain looking filly, but she is a grandly bred one, very inbred to some of tho best strains. This young lady will be invaluable as a brood mare after she has done racing. The Maribyrnong—Lady of Linne filly shows a lot of quality, and comes from the same family as several of the above, who,

in their turn, are related to Richmond, Bosworth, and Palmyra, who fetched 1200 guineas as a yearling, and won the Maribyrnong Plate. The youngsters are all very quiet and tractable, their condition is everything a trainer could wish to commence on, and _ the lot are certainly well worth the attention of breeders. SINBAD.
