Sequedilla (t). --
n' the eve of a week of rest, a busy one has passed away.
On Kelley the matriculation of the Oxonian steeple
chases t,ok place at Aylesbury, and on the same day the
early York meeting was inaugurated in the same way, over
some real and some artificial fences -on and about the
Knavesmire. There a comfortable bet was won by the
owner of Chance, who landed for him a cool thousand on a
treble event., the Londesborough Great Handicap having
been the third, after the other two had come off at Driffield.
Tattersall's was quitted at an early hour by the turfites (who
had not gone to see the horses jump) for the flat-racing and
yearling-sellin,g, on Tuesday. On that morning the °Teat
lounge was Rawcliffe Forty younglin7,s, with a tall
family tree blooming over each, were to be disposed of by
public auction;- a capital cold collation had to he attacked,
and the race-course had to be reached before the Minster
clock had sounded two for more than one half hour, Those
things required time; a fact of which they who went to buy
and staved to cat, seemed to be totally unaware. t.n
miserably slack in spirit were the bidders, either in regard
to pocket or inclination, or both, that even Mr. Johnson.
usei as he is to the wariness and caution of the canny tykes
of the north country, could not draw them out. Or► having
knocked down six of The Dutchman's daughters for £2Bl,
he asked them if they would like to have the colts for noth-
ing►, and very wisely adjourned the sale. The profit of the
Raw.•liffe stud has this year been a loss. It is an early
period at which to sell young thorogh-breds, which may in
some me/gum account for the unwillingness of purchasers to
come forward. The sellers ought also to recollect that by
:posing of their yearlings in the middle of April they arc
effecting a vast saving in the pasturage and the hay and
corn, which would have been consumed had they kept these
forty mouths "eating o' nights" until the latter end of
August. The company deserves to prosper, for all is done
on those extensive premises in a liberal and artistic manner.
A large host of animals is there assembled, and the healthy
anneirance exhibited by all is ample evidence of the pains
taken with them.
The racing in the afternoon was snfficient amusement for
a day which had begnn so early, the muster at 'Wycliffe
Paddocks having commenced at ten o'clock. In the big
event of the Poring meeting Gladiolus again showed his
powers of staving on ground which was in parts protected
from the sun's rays, and consequently wet and holding
Mr. Merry's colours went. to the van on two occasions with
two-year-olds, Lady Falconer having on Tuesday beaten
Rattlebone awl eight others with ease. and Thormanbv
having on Wednesday run clear away from the same colt
and thr e mere. The last race of Tuesday had a deal of
interest for Yorkshiremen ; it was won by an untried filly
belonging to Mr. Watt a name revered in days gone by as
the breeder end owner of many a gond horse, whose feats
are recorded in the pages of Weatherby.
Wednesday gave us a taste of the quality of Nimrod,
who won almost in a walk, and is looked upon by judges
as the certain wiener of the Two Thousand ; further on
that matter this deponent sayeth not. He is a remarkably
clean-looking, lengthy horse, had cut down his opponents by
' the time they had run 200 yards. and came in all alone.
Meg Merriliei was a sort of second ; the others did not
venture so far as the "ending post." Burgomaster proved
his powers of going through dirt by winning the Londes-
bornegn Cue ; and Gladiolus showed his owner. in the
Flying Dutchman's Handicap, that goodness may he over-
taxed ; he ran exceedingly well for a mile and a quarter;
at the end of which. the 9th. told their tale and extinguished
his hones. Upon the whole, York spring 'Meting must he
deemed a prosperous one. Milton has afforded two nice
little day's sport for those who live at a distance from the
great metropolis, on Thursday and Friday. The latter day
has amused the Londoners, who will go to Epsom to see
anything called a race. This Spring Aleeting at the town
of salts has been established and succeeded for neon years.
At its early dawn it was supported by the publicans; at its
close it is supported by the public.
Painhow has gone into Mr. Iltwson'A stables at Compton.
The celebrated old steeple-chaser The British Yeoman,
who, since his retirement, has been occasionally treated with
a sight of the Oakley and Fitzwilliam Honnds, was
destroyed last week, in consequence of leg infirmities, at the
seat of J. B. Hall, Esq., near Kitnbolton, aged 3
