SPORTING NOTES. —No. CCCLXXXIX.
• WARWICK SPRING MEETING.
The present week is replete with sport, no less than
two flat race, and five steeplechase meetings being on
the list of fixtures. Warwick is marked for to-morrow
and Wednesday ; Narbenth, to-morrow ; the North TYne
Great Annual Steeplechases, on Wednesday '
Coates races, on Thursday ; the Grand -Military'Steeple.
chases at Leamington, on the same day ; and the Cara-
ward'. and Warwick Grand Annual Steeplechases, on
Vriday. Of course, the principal attraction to the me'
tropolitans will be the races and steeplechases in War'
wickshire ; the first day's races of which I shall now,
comment upon. The first race on the card is announceo,
to be run off at half-past one, and is the Trial Stakes of
10 sovs. each, with 50 added (the mile,course). Long:
bow's name figures among the entries, but I understand
it will not be among the starters. I presume that Poodle
will not be pulled out for this stake with the gre:ster
attraction of the handicap on the following day in view'
more especially as he is not in the best of conditioni

wine.
The Woodcote Stakes of 15 sovs. each, 5 ft. (five fur-
longs), has, with one exception, an entirely dark earl,
consequently, considering the backward state of prep
ration which most horses are in at the present time, It„..
a work of no ordinary difficulty to select
but ne)

filly are but indifferent animals. The ch cby Job
o'Gaunt, as he receives 51bs, ought to be sonow' k
about the mark ; and to him or OLEASTEB I Shall look
for the winner, though not at all confident of having
the bull's-eye.
The Willoughby Handicap will probably have Olt
six or seven starters. Sir Robert is the top we eat)
