MANCHE 3TER SPRING MEETING.—The principal nos
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 no-
minations have been obtained to this Stake—forty-eight
of which, however, pay 5 sovs. forfeit. The field, it is
expected, will be composed of the following—Weather-
gage, Lady Evelyn, Chief Justice, Indian Warrior,
Bird-on-the-Wing, Haricot, Aaron Smith, St. Michael,
Ethelwolf, Gadabout, Talfourd, Royal George, m. by
Faugh-a-Ballagh out of Miniature, The Event, and
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.
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 -having
been put upon her, or I should have a strong fancy in
that quarter, as at Bst 41b she is by no means over-
weighted: Dawson has several horses in the race, in-
cluding the winner yesterday (Red Lion) ; but
I am inclined to believe that the representa-
tive of their stable, on this occasion, will be
Chief Justice, who, at 7st 101 b, I take it, will be
somewhere about the mark. The Indian Warrior is held
perfectly safe by the preceding. Bird-on-the-Wing, at
7st, ought to run forward. Haricot has so often de-
ceived me (every time I have selected her she has occu-
pied the second place) that I shall have nothing to do
with her this time. Aaron Smith, I imagine, will run
very well, and not improbably get a place. St. Michael
will not do for this bout, and Ethelwolf I must also pass
over. Gadabout, at the rather stiffish weight of Est 41b
for a three-year-old in the Spring, performed so uncom-
monly well at Epsom in the Metropolitan, that I must,
notwithstanding the weight, assign her a prominent po-
sition in the race. Talfourd, whom I should have
thought would have been reserved for the Derby, is, it
seems, to be brought out on this occasion, if he is not
too stale by his previous exertions this season, at 6st,

including 101 b extra, he must be a very dangerous op-
ponent. Royal George, the Miniature mare, the Event,
and Chaffwax, as far as weight is concerned, are all let
loose ; but, according to my view of the matter, are of
no use. To sum up, the finale will be confined to Chief
Justice, Aaron Smith, Gadabout, Talfourd, Bird-on-
the-Wing ; and to GADABOUT or CHIEF JUSTICE I shall
look for the winner—Talfourd, Aaron Smith, and Bird-
on-the-Wing running in in the order named.
The Two-Year-Old Stakes of 10 sovs. each, with 50
added, T.Y.C., out of its subscription list of nineteen,
will probably send something under a third of that num-
ber to tre post. The winner, I expect, will be found
in BROWN BRANDY or the WILD HUNTSMAN, both of
whom have to carry 31b. extra. The rest, with one ex-
ception, are a very so-so lot.
The Handicap Sweepstakes of 5 sovs. each, with 50
added, mile-and-a-quarter, will, I presume, be contested
by five or six, including Osbaldeston and Evadne.
Should the former run second to Longbow to-day for
the Meiklam Handicap, and thereby entail no penalty,
I shall take him as the winner of this stake ; but if he
is beaten easily to-day, or wins, I must then turn to
Mr. Meiklam's Evadne for the winning horse.
All things considered, It would be superfluous to
attempt indicating the winner of either Her Majesty's
Plate or the Selling Stakes, as the starters for both
races depend so much on the running on the stakes that
have previously to be disposed of.
