SPORTING NOTES.

LIKINGS FOR LINCOLN.

The Lincoln Spring Meeting will commence to-morrow.
Its programme sets forth " attractions" powerful enough
to excite the interest and command the attention of both
turfites and pleasure folk. Steeple-chases and fiat races
are its leading " features ;" and whilst the former are
likely to supply largely the " elements of excitement,"
the latter promise to be productive of brisk speculation.
Five events will be decided each day. In the supply of
sport, at least, therefore, there are likely to be no short-
comings. The Trial Stakes numbers ten nominations—
Horatio, the Jewess, and Lioness being, perhaps, entitled
to the priori*, of consideration. My " likings" for their
respective chances are in accordance with the order
in which I have set them down. On the Grand
Steeplechase I shall not express a decided opinion.
To regulate my judgment by the tried ability of the
probable competitors, I should select Maid of the West,
Topsy, and Trout, as being the most favourably handi-
capped, but an "accommodating arrangement" between
owners of horses, at the last moment, may upset the
most seemingly accurate calculations. Trout, it must
be remembered, has incurred a 71b penalty by his victory
at Derby last week. Of the 28 horses nominated for
the Spring Handicap four only have paid forfeit. The
field is therefore likely to be numerically strong, although
it is somewhat difficult at present to obtain any trust-
worthy information as to the probable starters. Of the
top weighted division Little Fawn appears to be the
best " in ;" from the middle weights I shall select
Florist, and from the low weights Horatio and Lioness.
Victress and President are my "fancies" for the Hurdle
Race. A FRESH MAN.
