WARWICK SPRING MEETING.—TnnanDAY.
Late on Wednesday night a bard frost set In, the probabilities
of racing on Thursday being very remote. The sun, however,
shone brilliantly early in the morning, and soon bad a beneficial
effect on the course, rendering it practicable for running. A
legal question was tried yesterday morning before two magis-
trates. W. ;Smith, KIN., and Edward Dodd, Yeti, et Wan". k
which excited Immense interest among the "list keepers" ana
rating men generally. The case resulted from a summons being
Mined against a man named Parker, who occupied a "list," for
being the owner of a place for betting ; Parker, according to a
section of the Gaming Act, rendering himself liable to a penalty
not exceeding £lOO. The origin of the affair was a quarrel be-
tween the list men, the defendant Parker refusing to sublet a
portion of the ground which he had by tender taken for the race
week of the Chamberlains and Commoners ef St. Mary's Com-
monable Land, to the plaintiffs, Arthur and John DuMn. As
stated in the opening address of Mr. Tibbetts, solicitor for the
defendant, the case was of much greater importance than at
first appeared, as it affected the very question now at issue with
the Doucaster corporation, and the
Life" of Wednesday last it. The evidence
learnr4teedritleman quoted the
" Sportitisg
brought to aubstantlate the summons utterly led te establish the
two Important issues, via., ownership and {heat of betting, and the
THAW was therefore dismissed. The decision of the magistrates
was received with evident signs of satisfaction by a crowded
court. As the hour approached for racing to commence the
town assumed a more animated appearance than on either of
the preceding days, the trains bringing an average number of
visitors. It was evident that Mr. Merry had done all in his
power to make the course as " good going" as possible, the Mow
being cleared away from halt its width, but uotwith tanding
everything that could he done it was fearfully heavy, the warmth
of the sun making It &art:4,l;feet quagmire, literally • thering
the jockeys In mud each race. The scenery from
the bland had a very "'steely aspect, the surrounding
country being still covered with mow, but the sun
otiltbrightly, the *tare was not an unpleasant
onsidering the adverse circumstances under which the
meeting has suffered, the attendance was quite as good as could
be expected, the aristocratic patronage ',clue particularly notice-
able. The maim, which began with the stand Handicap and
ended with the Farmers' Plate, embracing seven items, was only
remarkable for one or two features. The ridiculously light weight
at which Chibisa, 4 yrs, Sat elb, was handicapped, though a "fea-
ther" in the scale was anything but in the handicapper's hat, for
he walked in six lengths a-head of everything. The only other
point worth notice was that the popular Mows of the Duke of
Hamilton were borne to the front be Beadle, very cleverly beat-
ing a field of six others. Below will be found a return of the
days proceedings.
