TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Six,—The Grand National Steeplechase which is to be
decided to-morrow has lost most of the interest it once
possessed in consequence of the postponements which
have taken place owing to the frost. Nevertheless I
anticipate a goodly number of horses will make their
appearance when the bell rings for eaddlirg. The only
horses of any account in the race are Trout, Needwood,
and Miss Mowbray ; and if they are " intended" I shall
expect them tl pass the chair in the order named. The
only other horses of any consequence are Spring, Bas-
tion, and Crabbs. Barring accident I shall stand upon
Trout.
.For the Spring Cup I shall take Newbold and.
Lady Ta.tton -to, beat the field. The Aintree should be
an easy yictory for Ulster or Falcon.

A TURFITE.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

TATTERS.A.LL'S.-MONDAT.

Although the attendance was comparatively thin
speculation took a somewhat extensive range, and in a
few instances a good deal of money was invested.
LITERPOOL STEErLECHASE.—Tr out wag again in the
full current of favour, and altho ugh he and Miss Mow-
bray hre quoted at 5 to 1 each, the heavier amount of
money for which he wa3 backed. gave him decidedly the
call. Needwood and Dangerous were supported with
some spirit, the former at 10 to, 1, the latter at 100 to 7
and 100 to 8.

_
The GREAT NORTHERN HANE,IOAP.—The Yore was
backed in good quarters at 15 .and 14 to 1 ; 7 to 1
wanted about Vandal.
CITY AND SUBURB HANDICAP.--Witbin the last fort-
night Rambling Katie came with so powerful a rush for
this event that not a little money was invested at 16 to
1. Her reign, however, as the leading favourite, has
quickly ended. It was announced that- she was offici-
ally struck out this morning, at 9 o'clock.
GREAT METROPOLITAN.—Coivnbus was firm,' at 9 to
1, and Pharsalus showed a slight improvement on the
closing quotation against him last Thursday.
CHESTER CUP.—Mara Antony was in great force.
After several investments bad been made at 1,000 to 30
and 30 to 1, ho advanced to 1,000 to 40, taken.
TYn Two THOIISAND.-6 to 4- was still currently of-
fered on the field. 4to 1 was taken, to some money,
about Bonnie Morn, and 5 to 1, with renewed confi-
dence, about Lord of the Isles--at the close scarcely 9
to 2 was obtainable about him.
THE DBRBY.—Although 600 to 100 was taken about
the favarite, yet the number of offers which were sub-
sequently made to lay the same odds, clearly indicated
that 13 to 2 was a quotation more in accordance with
the tone of the market. In the early part of the after-
noon 15 to 1 was laid to 751. against Lord of the Isles,
but towards the conclusion of business he returned to

3 to 1, and was, at last, backed for 1001. at 12 to_l

1,000 even was laid between Cruiser and him. 1,300
to 100, 300 to 25, 600 to 50, and 1,100 to 100 were
taken about Gmeculus Esuriens ; 5,000 to 200 in one
bet about Bonnie Meru ; 25 to 1 to various sums, and
2,000 to 90 about Wild Dayrell. A slight reaction
took place in favour of Oulston-25 to 1 offered, 30 to 1
taken.
