This meeting has now obtained a fair start in the
for popularity. Its prosperity must be dated from To°
establishment of the Great Northern Handicap-
event got up and maintained solely by the licensed we"
tuallers of York and their friends. By the way, the sac"
ceases of Virago have induced the race committee W._
insert a new clause in the conditions of this race, tr,
the effect that the winner of any two handicaps of 607
soya each shall be liable to a penalty of 141 b.
The meeting on the whole was the most successful
.4_
the spring gatherings at old Ebor. Not only was tO.
subscription room more numerously attended than og
any previous anniversary, not even excepting the year
of the great match between Voltigeur and the Flying
Dutchman ; but the receipts of the Grand Stand 00
Tuesday exceeded the amount on the opening day last
year by 2001. The two leading handicaps of the meet'
ing were won by Virago. Immediately after her second
achievement, her owner, being, as he expressed it, Jr sirous of not spoiling sport, requ.sted Mr. Rudstoll.
Read, one of the stewards, to scratch her for the Londeffr
borough cup.
The business of the meeting was conducted in the most
praiseworthy manner. The weather on the first da i'/,11 tine but cold ; on Thursday light showers fell aty, brz° '
intervals.
