SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

THE NOTTINGHAM NOTTINGHAM SPRING MEETING.

TO THE EDITOR OP THE EXPRESS.

Sin,—lnteresting as were the ten contests at
Lincoln to those looking on, they supply but scant food for
comment, the quality of the horses running in the flat
races being below mediocrity, except in regard to the twos
yr-olds. Manrico, looking at the style in which he won his
two races, was the beat class handicap horse on the
ground, he having settled the pretensions of all those
behind bim that happen to be engaged in the Spring Han-
dicaps ; and as he declined the Chester Cup with Est 10lb,
and the City and Suburban with fist 121 b, W. Day may be
presumed to have something infinitely superior in the
beskground. The start for the principal event was
far from a good one ; but I have no doubt the
best hone woo, and Lord Westmoreland was fortunate in
obtaining poasession of such an animal as Maurice for 3001.
The race for the Brockleaby was not a fair trial of the
twenty youngsters that went to the starting-post, u only a
third of them got away at the proper instant, after an hour's
delay, and it is more than probable the winner was not the
beat of the lot, Lord Adolphus being by far the best-look-
ing, although he was not up to the mark. The Nottingham
meeting doe' not promise so well, only the Spring Biaip
and Little John Stakes of the fiat races being valuable
gr.inttod the three minor handicap plates (in which Bedford,
Miss Julia, and East Sheen are the most leniriziety
weighted)6 may not bring to the post the best horses en
The principal event wean a very open complexion, the lot
handicapped having, with few exceptions, no pretensions to
merit, for Gardener sod Lord Stanley are the beat clue
horses among the old ones, and if them ere some respect-
able performers among the three-year-olds, they will hardly
be pulled out in the face of Mr. Barber's Donne Canes,
4 yrs, gat 41b, or Ophelia, 4 yrs, 6et 91b, who are both
turned loose, the best of them standing a fair chance of first
greeting the judge. The Little John Stakes, for two-yr-
olds, is over the same distance as the Limas juvenile race,
for which Lady Nichol, Faith, Lord Adolphus, Stritheam,
Lady di Vergy, Hampshire Mims,
Diploma, Attraction, Yates, Corsica, and Hazard,Trib=
hid of the twenty-three engaged here, went to the port ;
but as the start at Lincoln was so unsatisfactory, the issue
is almost as open ea it would have been had the above never
met, and unless Lord Adolphus were pulled out again,
I would not like to bind myself to a selection. The
Hurdle Race has only one Liverpool favourite entered, in
the rase, and after the downfall of Satellite at Lincoln it
is hardly likely he will be brought out, when two old oppp-
:nets, Nosegay and Sinking Furl, will look hie fighting it
out between them, unless Real Jam join issue, when she
might jeopardise Mischance of the best of them. The other
events are not worth entering into, and the programme of
the day's sport at Derby must not occupy my pen, as the
Nottingham doings will seriously affect the items already
complete, with the exception of the steeplechase, which is
reduced to a mere question of Emblem starting and keeping
on her legs.—l am, to., METEOR.
