LINCOLN SPRING MEETING.
111 consequence of the severe frost, this meeting is
Postponed until Friday and Saturday next. Of course,
if the weather allows it to come off this week, bets will
stand. There has been a great fall of snow in the
vicinity of Lincoln ; and should a thaw take place, the
course will be extremely heavy. But few horses have
arrived. Bold Davie, Bridesmaid, Ringdove, Baleine
filly, Bruce, Quickstep, Newport, filly by Liverpool
Junior, Abdallah, Monitress, Broughton, Billy Richard-
son, Game Tommy, Ace of Trumps, The General, Hope,
Cardsharper, two from Stebbing', with a few others,
form the list that are, or will be, there.
My final opinion on the Spring Handicap I shall defer
Living until Thursday.
I am reminded that in the list of the whereabouts of
celebrated stallions I gave last week, I omitted the most
fashionable one of the day, the celebrated " Birdcatcher,”
who is in such request, that at 50 guineas each, his sub-
teription is full. He is located
at Easby Abbey Stud
arm, near Richmond, Yorkshire, where also stands
Gameboy (10 guineas), who has some of the gamest
blood in his veins it is possible to find ; and the once
celebrated Mildew is also here.
bilitY,
Van Tromp (Barnsley) is informed that, in all proba-
the three horses mentioned by him will never see
a shod price for the Derby.
THE SPIRIT OF THE TURF.

TATTERSALL'S--MONDAY.
The business transacted yesterday, without being
heavy, wlts sufficiently decided to reverse the positions
of the two favourites for the Liverpool Steeplechase, for
Which it will be seen View Halloo and Duc-an-Durras
have also been brought into prominent notice ; and to
thshow a strong feeling in favour of West Australian for
e e 2,000 Guineas Stakes and Derby, and Cineas and
neywood for the last mentioned event. The move-
Ments in other respects were unimportant.
