TO THE EDITOR OF THE BUN.

SlR,—The Grand National Steeplechase which is to be
decided tomorrow has lost most of the interest it once
poszessed in consequence of the postp9nreapte vsbich,
have taken place owing to are. frost. Nevertheless I
anticipate a goodly number of horses will make their
appearance when the bell rings for saddling. The only
horses of any account in the race are Trout, Needwood,
and Miss Mowbray ; and if they are " intended" I shall
expect them t 5 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 Tatton to beat the field. The Aintree should be
an easy victory for Ulster or Falcon.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

TATTERSALL'S.- MONDAY.

Although the attendance was comparatively thin
speculation took a somewhat extensive range, and in a
few instances a good deal of money was invested.
LIVERPOOL STEEPLECHASE.—Trout was again in the
full current of favour, and although he and Miss Mow-
bray are quoted at 5 to 1 eabh, the heavier amount of
money for which he wal backed gave him decidedly the
call. Needwood and Dangerous were supported' with
some spirit, tke former at 10 to 1, the latter at 100 to 7
and 100 to 8.
The GREAT NORTHERN HANDICAP.—The Yore was
backed in good quarters at 15 and 14 to 1 ; 7 to 1
wanted about Vandal.
CITt AND SUBURB HANDICAP.—Witbin the last fort-
night Rambling Katie came with so powerful a rush fur
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 METROPOLITANCOrCebUS was firm, at 9 to
1, and Pharsalus showed a slight improvement on the
closing quotation against him last Thursday.
CHESTER CllP.—Marc Antony was in great force.
After several investments had been made at 1,000 to 30
and 30 to 1, he advanced to 1,000 to 40, taken.
THE Two THOUSAND.---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 Da/UM—Although 600 to 100 was taken about
the favourite, yet the number of offers which were sub-
sequently made to lay the same odds, clearly indicated
that 13 to 2 was a qnotation 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
13 to 1, and was, at last, backed for 100/. at 12 to 1.
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 Grmeulus Esuriens ; 5,000 to 200 in one
bet about Bonnie Morn ; 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.
