YORK SPRING MEETING-WEDNESDAY.

The near approach of the Derby always brings with it
some starling movement affecting the position of favourites.
York has not been wanting in this respect, and Gladiateur's
sudden decline yesterday afternoon was followed up at the
rooms.at night by his still further retrograding to 14 to 1.
However, before the close he was brought again and rein-
stated in the position he held before dinner. There are
various rumours as to the cause of his decline, some assert-
ing that it has been found necessary to stop him in his
work, while there is also a prevalent opinion that the horse
is only being used for market purposes ; time will show.
The sale of Mr. Jackson's and some other yearlings occu-
pied the morning, and tho St. Albans and Thermanbys be-
longing to that gentleman fetched good prices. It was his
first appearance as a breeder, and the condition and general
appearance of the various lots reflected much credit on the
care of his stud groom.
There are only two events in the second day of York
Spring that command much attention, and these are the
Londesborough Cup and the Flying Dutchman's Handicap.
The Consolation Scramble saw the great favourites, Regi-
nella and Summerside, upset by a scarcely backed outsider,
Gil Blas; and the Eglinton Stakes was an easy win for
Osiris. The Londesborough Cup was a great surprise.
Sundeelah, a horse who had run fourth in the Consolation
Scramble, hero came out on a stone better terms, and
squandered his field-,in a hollow style. The talent over-
looked him, for he was unmentioned in the betting.
The attendance was smaller than yesterday, the weather
everything that could be desired.
We may add that Gladiateur has recovered from his tem-
porary "indisposition," 6 to 1 being offered about him this
afternoon.

the distance, the lot left the post in close company, Sum-
merside in company with the favourite ; the Lady John

to half way in the distance, where Summerside was beaten,
and her place was taken by Reginella, who was imme-
diately after headed by Gil Blas, who crept up next the
rails, and won very easily by three lengths, two lengths
