MANCIIESTER SPRING MEETING.—The principal race
for'to-morrow is the Manchester Tradesman's Cup of
200 sovs. in specie, added to a Handicap of 20 sovs.
each, 15ft, &c., 2 miles and. a-quarter. Seventy-six"'
minations have been obtained to this Stake—forty-eight
of which, however, pay 5 sovs. forfeit. The field, it i°
expected, will be composed of the following—Weatber-
gacre, Lady Evelyn, Chief Justice, Indian
Bird-on-the-Wing,a Haricot, Aaron Smith, St. Michael,
Ethelwolf, Gadabout, Talfourd, Royal George, tn. bla
Faugh-a-Ballagh out of Miniature, The Event, an
Chaffwax. Weathergage figures as the top weight, and
during the last eight and forty hours has been backed
for a good deal of money, and at rather short odds too.
Warrior,
His chance, comparatively with some others in the race,
does not look very rosy in my eyes. I expect to see
him run forward, but nothing more. Lady Evelyn Ido
not know what to say about', little or no money barin in
g„
been put upon her, or I should have a strong fitneY
that quarter, as at Bst 41b she is by no means over-
weighted. Dawson has several horses in the race, jut
eluding the winner yesterday (Red Lion) ;
I am inclined to believe that the representa•
tive of their stable, on this occasion, will„
Chief Justice, who, at 7st 101 b, I take it, wi"
somewhere about the mark. The Indian Warrior is hesit
perfectly safe by the preceding. Bird-on-the-Wiug, 3
7st, ought to run forward. Haricot has so often de'
ceived me (every time I have selected her she has occiar
pied the second place) that I shall have nothing to „O
with her this time. Aaron Smith, I imagine, will 07
very well, and not improbably get a place. St. gicb3eo
will not do for this bout, and Ethelwolf I must also pt
over. Gadabout, at the rather stiffish weight of fist 40'
for a three-year-old in the Spring, performed so uncunl:
monly well at Epsom in the Metropolitan, that I tut"
notwithstanding the weight, assign her a prominent.,
sition in the race. Talfourd, whom I should Pa'il
thought would have been reserved for the Derby,. snot
seems, to be brought out on this occasion, if be I,.ggst
too stale by his previous exertions this season, a'
including 101 b extra, he must be a very dangerous or;
ponent. Royal George, the Miniature mare, the EVi't
and Chaffwax, as far as weight is concerned, are foie
loose ; but, according to my view of the matter, o.bief
no use. To sum up, the finale will be confined t° ,1 •

The Two-Year-Old Stakes of 10 sovs. each,
added, T.Y.C., out of its subscription list of nifle-,icllei•
