YORK SPRING MEETING.-WEDNESDAY.

The second day's meeting In the old city woo oat of meagre
quality, although there was quantity enough bit the card-14
match made over night lissieg ow died the list to eight items
for decision. Little interest nisi, howerer, taken in the pile
gramme, and many of the leading (orates left York for Salisbury
shortly after the decision of the Great Northern Handicap, sod
that it would seem likely that lameaster will suffer from the
lack of southern bookmakers. Th., weather wu again tine and
smonserlike, and the tykes mustered in strong /nice to witness
the main event of the day, the handicap named after the victor
of the Great York match, the Flying Inpclniiii. As may be
readily guessed, the attendance on Knavesmire was not nearly
so numerous as on Tuoluy, nor wan the arid erotic element so
strong as might have been expected. Proceedings opened with
a match made during puisteprandial talk over night, the last
horse in the Great Northern being pitted against Basilan Bear
at even weights. This was a capital turn up, as the Bear"
was much fancied, and unlimited odds Might have been obtained
about him during the race. By dint of good Judgment, however,
Snowden so mused his horse at to get up in the last few strides,
WA land the rake cleverly, although when within the distance
the winner appeared to he disposed in. The remainder of the
racing is devoid of interest, and dues nut call for further corn
mend
