THE RACING AT NOTTINGHAM, AND
LINCOLN PROGRAMME.

eo era IDITOI or ran =rams.
SlR,—The Nottingham Spring Meeting opened
the seism fa a rFir that woe creditable to all parties °Da-
mned, the only whack being the falling off in the at.
Mohowing
acs, ea opinion wbich ;wailed even an TOM-
jay morning that the frost would involve a postponement.
So remote, coded, was the prospect of a day's racing on
Tuesday' that nu one took the froillitungle to make entries for the
Park Hill Stakes on Monday ev , which happened for
tonsuily moue', mwe did n commence bottom until
three o'clock, by which time, thanks to a brilliant sun, the
sours wee is excellent order its protected situation and
sandy soil being such that Mr. Frost had had no chance
of getting a good bold, as at Linooln. The racing, albeitthe four items set for the first day were all " foresaw
°occlusions," judging by the betting was good through-
out, sad aloud sot • little many of the great soots forth-
comiag, Rattlabone, although he beet nothing of note in the
Trial fieding • hoot of friends by hie style of winning, and
he OD take some beating for the hortharoptaaahire Stake.,
with all the weight. Wallow never gave his oppments a
chance of meamorfog him in the Some Handicap, and we
shall hear of him again in the Newmarket or Metropolitan
Handicap, while we most also keep • sharp look-oat far kis
stable companion, Uncle Ned, at Northampton and Chester,
and for Chun Alai° in the City and Suburban, the doings of
Golden Pippin and Confusion giving the most convincing
prom Mr. Godding has got his lot very forward, acid the
=tackle must be so good that we can expect few
to be made. Lovett forfeited all claims to
2sciby his two polonium. at the meeting, as
also Bamunerator, and they must improve mag-
i= to possess • hance be either of their
kap sogsgemsats. Compared with what Wegfe'Ll
out early last year, the two-yr-olds contesting the lOUs
John Stakes were only moderate, Zodiac looking the most
useful of the lot, for if Ours is not conch of him he apposes
to possess nearly every other good quality, and in second-
rate company Hr. Wary is pretty certain to make him pay
expenses. The talents were sot • little surprised to see the
Dane upset all their °acclaims in the hurdle rah., fur It
am his first attempt in while at that business; but from the
performance Captain Christie will do well to keep him at it,
his defeat in the Innkeepers' Plate showing that his pro-
spects on the fiat are far from brilliant.
The Lincoln nominations are not, of aurae, so heavy aa
werethose for the original meeting; end for the first day
there is no chewed • large field, males fur the Steeplechase,
the Trial Stakes one mile, only having five sub-
seritors, of which Rattlebone, gyto, let 1010, and the
Hover, 4 yo, fist 61b, have all the best of it. A contest between
this pair would be invested with great Interest just now,
end I believe there Is • proem* of it taking place, still
hettlabose lobo the bast of the weights will entitle him
to the geshrame, ha being too forward for any fonr.yr-
old to asmods him moody two Oros. The Brod/shy
Stokes, for two- yr-olds, half- a-mlls, has eight subs. accord-
tag to the official list, but oily seven by the Calendar
Camphor, • daughter of the Caro and Catophlne, being the
extra noricadoo. Little Lady beat three at them (the 'boy
filly, Rupert, and Reverie) easily at Nottingham, and also
settled the pretensions of Cantab, with something to spare, et
fihrewebury, in the yearling race, so that the best ally I eat
Sod is her stable companion Lava, Duplicity and Arks
having been but pow-looking yearlings. The Steeple Chase
will be watched with some interest, on 11030011 t of the effect
It will have on the Liverpool Grand National, and the field
will be igood one, be the 22 subs. are some &A-
shes jumpy... B. Land d looks Lrmidable with Goldsmith,

The hen. admiral maintains that the raising the minimum
weight carried by racehorses to 7st would not remedy any
el the evils which attend the Turf, ace led to improve
the breed of horses in my way; and It is diffi-
cult to conceive how any tom am elm with him,
for the idea that It is absolately anomeary for
horses to carry heavy weights exploded loss sine*, and it
would amount to absolute cruelty to put 12at or 18at on even
the best of cattle, cad make them go the pass at which moss

the sport was In its latency, for the somber of moss decided

get through in the preset day, end lade as jockeys were not

compared to ours, while the best of horses did nut perform

Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals would have to
interfere did • Fielormaa have to carry 12et, and compete
with good three-yr-olds at 7st some twenty times in a year,
and the carrying of Lord Redeedale's measure would
certainly miss the decline of the sport to the lowest
ebb In the course eta very few years, for howdah could
not stand it any bettor now than In former days. We should
then have nothing but weeds—i.e., such as now any from
fist to 7st—running in handicaps, as the best homes would
never put in an appearana, and what would bacons of nine

for a reform which has long been needed, ma the old au
against excessively light handicapping will be revived by the
Hon. Admiral Roos, who intends to propoo at the earliest
