YORK SPRING MEETING.—TRIDAT.
Rain fell heavily during the early part of the morning, and a
wet day appeared inevitable, but before noon it cleared up, and
the course was mbch benefited by the wet. The raring does not
call for any comment, but it will be seen thebookmakershad much
the hest of the speculation, as the favourites were defeated in
almost every instance. During the afternoon there was some
'spirited Derby betting, the principal featureof which
was the support awarded to Abergeldle, who was backed
to win some thousands at 1000 to 30 and 8 to I for a
place. The two favourites, although not backed for any
amount, were firm, and a shade ever their quoted prices would
have lace freely accepted. Blue lUband VAS are Stiltiece of great
hostility, for after 15 to I had been offered against him three
points more failed to bring a friend to the rescue. Monarch of
the Glen was in great force at 20 to 1, and 33 to I was taken
several times about the Bribery colt, but Vespaaion was de-
cidedly out of odour, t/ to 1 being offered "to any amount."
The mysterious Derby candidate, The Stabber, was again sup-
ported, 1000 to 35 being freely taken. The following is a detailed
