HORSE NOTES FROM ENGLAND, The Best of the Seven Hundred in Training at Newmarket. HOW THEY MOVE. Their Prospects for Coming Events. i NewmasEcer, Eng., March 28, 1875, In my last letter I gave you description of the beat o! Matthew Dawson’s lot in thetr stable, but not the training work that 1 witnessed them doing on the heath, i will now relate what I have picked up about a lot of the particular ones of the different stables in training here. I think I gave the num- ber of race horses at this place at over 600, but I understand that there have been accessions lately and that now there are above 700, | will ymit in this letter many of the two-year-olds, for jheir trainers are as ignorant of their qualities as Jam, for the past winter has been very long and 400 severe to get tbe youngsters fit to try. Commencing with those trained by Mr. Gilbert (as they were the first that caught my eye as I wandered over the heath), he being the trainer’ for Mr. Saville, of Rufford Abbey, in Nottingham- whire, Kaiser is the pest known to the racing public. This horse is now the tavorite for the City and Suburban, to be run for at Epsom shortly. He jg @ remarkably weli made, strong built horse, with grand action and undeniable speed, though not quite so good as @ horse called Cremorne that won the Derby in 1872, and was only defeated by a neck by the great Prince Oharile for the Two Thousand Guineas, Kaiser is expected to occapy one of the Wading posizions for the City and Suburban, and my own opinion is, rom what I have seen of him, he will not be beaten far. Earl of Dartrey, another colt trained by Mr, Gubert, is a bay, with four white Jeet, by the Earl, out of Rigoiboche, and consequently half brother in blood to Uremorne, and, though not built on such a large scale, is a very neat one and very game, and, well, par- Wcularly sound, which 18 # great consideration, as be will be likely to stand a severe traming, where many others with tender legs will not be ihkely to -do eo, This colt 1s very sure to take @ conspicuous part In the Two Thousand Guineas, as many others in training here will be unfit to run by the 28tn of mext month, Lilian is another velonging to Saville, and wears well. She opened the ball for the stable by winning the Queen's Plate at Northampton this spring. Of Matthew Dawson's formidable stable Garterly Beli is a floe, great animal, and throughout the winter bas made much improvement. He has a very commanding stride, as Was shown in @ gallop of about a mile this morning. Within the last sew days I under- Stand that he bas been eased in his work; still I do not apprehend that he will be prevented from competing in all the races he is entered for, as he is such & strong bulit one and possessed of so much speed that his chances of being a winner are very great, notwithstanding the doudwul state of bis winu, which Ihave heard spoken of; ‘Dut as be dashed by me on the billside ue seemed 10 be breathing as ireely as any of those who ac companied him in the gallop. moalo bas had a good winter and is altogetner an improved colt, From all I cam learn his defeat in the Whittiebury Stakes iasi year by Ecossais and Seymour arose more from want of condition than any tailing, and bis chance ior the Two Toousand Guineus is good; but for the Derby 1 think he Will have a better chance, for by that time he will be thoroughly fit to run, and there ts no particular reason why be should not stand a govd preparation, though Bis traiuer bas had some litte trouole With O18 Hocks for curbs; bub u delects are seemingly subdued alwgetner now. Thunder is another one that will repay the ten tion his traiuer nas vestowed on him. He is in the International Handicap, and as be 18 LOF oVe.Joaded With Weigat | expect to see him at least, us le 18 a very speedy hurse, and Can cover (ne distance well, it bel le ua @ quarter, Scould ne win the race Rot disappoint his owner, y ve, Yorksfire Bride and Cataciysm are boree spicndid fillies, Owned by Lord Fuimoath, sud also tramed by Matthew Dawson, aud they are sure lo frauk in the first Class the turthcoming season. Dreudnaugot, Prince Archar, and colt by Maccaront out of Repentauce, are three very nice looking cults; bur trom \neir st le Ol guibg as toey moved past me, would not dare veoture the prediction that they will torn oul better than Uamoallo and Garter Beli at present; but douotiess they will pay tac wi allbew basa very fine jot of two-yea olds, consisung of Bella, woo 1s rather un the Bail side; Skylark, Lyons, Rubicon, Ms Wond Rachel, Come Kiss Me, Lotte and doubtless anviner or two. ni’y #o far to enable me to make especial nove of them in Cuis levter; bul those named above are very uice looking jot, aud Wil DO aoubt prove their quaiity very snortly.

J. Cannvd, private trainer for the establisament upder the control of Captain Macheli, has several pice animais, i¢lescope being one, but he is Lob What should strictly be called a souud animal, He bas cucby hocks, woich are very |roubiesome ; but, were he thoroughly sound, [should untesi- satingly consider bim # first class racer. Olare- mont i$ another ove highly Luougut o1 by Captain Macneil; but last summer he was not quite up to the mark, His iegs, Lwas told, got very tender, aod liad several applicauons of plasters and lotions 10 strengthen them, ‘the cause was the bard state of the ground over which he was cumpelied to gallop, Should he stand traintug this season it will take one much out of theCcommon to beat hun, He isa large colt, by Blair Athol, oat of Coimora, avery speedy breed, and, with vue size he possesses, I Lnik, will be able to trayel the Wistance aud course wat the Derby is run over, Lbave not so much hope Jor Te.escope; lor, although ab undoabted goud horse, I caunot pronvuunce him periectiy sound. Tuere are several others 1D Unis suring that may be classed as uselul animals. I wii name them :— Oxon'un, a geiaing, 18 ZoOd over a Course Of abOUL six furlongs; Vanderdecken has retired to the stud, but in his day Was a good horse, and | think there is every reason (oO believe that he will be the sire 0} good stock; King Lud was good at any dis- tance over a mile, and at three imiies Was a glut. ton. ‘this five horse and Vauderdecken only Want fibe mares sent to them to produce the rigit sort, lor they nave amiable tempers, with fine consti- tutions, bat too much hard work has retired them trom the turf. 1 thik either would be @ bargain, ata lair price, Wo send to America, Chandos, Mr. Winkie, Dukeaom, Coventry, Mouican, seibourne, Leveret, Durungton, irapiot Duke of Kut- Jand are all serviceable animals, and will, no douot, pay their way. St. Agatha demands more atten- tuum, and, in iaet, 1 tuink as highly of her with regard to er chance lor the Oaks as any others that are in traming in Newmarket. Sue is in- clined to be @ bitiree at ner Work; butior all that, having ® nice mouth, she can be held to- ether more easily (an One Lbat is hard mousned, and, as sue has a good turn of speed as well as good 81ze, 1 dO not hesitate to loo% very iavorably toward her Oaks prospects suould all go Weil ‘with her up to tne day of the race. Josepn Hayhoe, Sr., has a nice lot generally, but the selected of tue pimoer is Pedometer, a very tine animal, and deudiless a good one, out not engaged yet. Comussie, anotner of ime stavie, is & Very /ast filly, luueed, aud a thorougoly sound one. Both these tilies Will be ilu readiness to run at the ef Newmarket meetings. King Log, Cameita and Renee are, no doubt, wuod ani- mals, Kenee veing in tae Ove Lhousand Guineas, and will, doubtless, take her own part in the Iray. She is perfectly sound and @ nice Billy to | day on charge of abandonment, preierred by a distance of ground with others of periect s Apart from that fatliag be is # sireog built colt, tb.e to Curry Weight, anu has a goud turn of speed, Whien will help him to get over a suorter course | than one of two miles or more, Tue vext class in | this esiabisnment likely to benefit their owners to some exiens are King George, Breechioader, Giamorgan, St. Leger, Seymour, Kiiticrankie, Quiver and Biackwater, bat | much douot — taey Will take rank with the vest of tueir r. Jonn Dawson, private trainer to Prince Batiyany, has Galopin, now one of the leading favorites Jor Lhe Deroy, and many think, alovouga hat if nothing henceforth that the horse that 1s ‘in chat race, us be has bad ® good winter, and is thought now to be meriecily sound, although & week ago they wer luok at.

THE CLIMAX OF THE TRIAL. Unparalleled Scene Between Wit- ness and Counsel. The most remarkabie day of all in the Brooklyn Scandal case wil] be Known as last Wednesday. On that day, the climax ofthe trial appeared to have been reached, Much oi the essential ground Was covered in Mr. Fullerton’s cross-examtuation, He has much yet to ask the witness in order to @ Jormal completion of the cross-examining pro- gramme, but virtually be has asked all that rea- sonable men desire to nave to reach # conclusion as to the guilt or innocence of the accused. ‘That Mr. Fullerton should have been prostrated on Thursday by a renewal of the attack of vertigo from which during !he whole trial ke has more or less suffered, was anticipated by many who wit- nessed bis extraordinary exertion of Wednescay, He has been called the great American cross- examiner; but his claim to the title wasin dis- pute up to that day, He may now fairly be granted this distinction, for a greater effort than nis in the fine of cross-examination was never before witnessed in this country, FULLERION'S PHYSIQUE. Fallerton is not a man of robust physique. He 1s of a full, square, yet delicate frame of body, The head is solid and well set, the features handsomely chiselled, the color bright and sanguine, and the skin talr and vender as & woman’s, His voice 18 of limited compass—a very sweet voice in tts lower register and iq its higher, rather indexing than giving the ideaof power. He began the cross- examination of Mr. Beecher in @ quiet and, what will better indicate tne style, a gentiemanly way. Psyche herself would have no reason to complain of Mr, Fullerton’s voice and manner haa she oc- cupied the witness stand in place of Mr. Beecher. In the Court of Love ana Beauty the fair divinities would pronounce him a most charming advocat ‘The latent fire in this man of Celtic blood was re- served for the second day of the crossexamina- tion. Much as be had seen and heard of Fuilerton, Mr. Beecher was pot wholly prepared for tne as- sault be encountered on Wednesday, In weight of metal Beecher might claim superiority over Fullerton, The elephant aud the tiger are un- equal in size, but the spirit and agilityor the one counterbalances the ponderous strength and awk- Wai dness of the other. IN THE ARENA. Fullerton tgurativeiy jumped into the ring, rolled up his sleeves and squared off with a vim and determination that sometimes makes victory hall assured, The energy of manner, the decisive, metailic ring of the voice, the alert eye and ear, showed the lawyer was in earnest 10 bis task. Mr. Beecher affected unconcern, thougn his iriends were not without feeling some degree of alarm. Fullerton had clearly made up his mind tor vic- tory, and every Jaculty o/ his brain was at its ut- most tension. In the hot current of the inquisi- tion 1% Was @ striking picture to observe tne two meu, & lew yards apart, glaring into each other's eyes, both red and nervous, tue Veins ou Lhe fore- head of Fullerton sWeillng Out like cords through the inflamed cuvcie, the wiue eyes vlazing with assi0u and couviciion, and tue waole irame eaving withthe grand excitement of a great in- veliectual game.
