LINCOLN STEEPLECHASE.—Some business has been
transacted on this event in the City, but only Maid of
the West was brought into notice at " The Corner." The
City prices were-4 to 1 agst the favourite just named ;
5 to 1 agst Trout ; 6 to 1 each agst Topsy and Little
Charley, and 7 to 1 apt Melon.
LIVERPOOL GRAND NATIONAL.—Bourton had a decided
lead ; upwards of 601. were invested on him at 8 to 1—
odds which went a-begging about Miss Mowbray ; 12 to
1 taken to 501. about Peter Simple. La Gazza Ladra
was backed at 100 to 6 and 15 to 1 ; Burnt Sienna at 30
and 25 to 1, and 1,000 to 40 taken about Maurice Daley.
Half-and-Half was friendless ; in the City 50 to 1 had
been laid,

CHESTER Cur.—The two leading favourites quietly
maintained their respective positions : 20 to 1 was
wanted about each. 30 to 1 was taken to 251. about
Tom, 50 to 1 to 201., and 40 to 1 to 501. about Royalist,
which was also backed for a trifle for the Metropolitan
Stakes, for which event Lindrick and Vingt-un were
also backed for 251. each at the odds quoted below.
Muscovite appeared to be under "suspicion."
The rest of the betting on the above-named Handicaps
was only in small sums.
DERBY. —4 to 1 taken and afterwards currently of-
fered about Autocrat, and 700 to 100 taken about King
Tom ; 13 to 1 to 501. and 15 to 1 to 251. laid against

left town to "assist " during the next two days at the
Lincoln Spring Meeting.
