ANTICIPATIONS FOR YORK AND CHELMg-
VOW),

The Field says :—The appointments for the ap-
proaching week are York, Doncaster, Chelmsford,
Harpenden, Wye, and Baldoyle. The York Spring
Meeting will take place on Tuesday and Wednes-
day, and in Mr. Johnson's list are thirteen races
etanding for decision. For the Great Northern Handicap
(two miles, over the old course) twenty-one horses have
accepted ; but neither of the first four in the Chester Cup
are in the entry. Adolphus has a very taking
appearance at first sight, but he may fail to beat Toisoa
d'Or and Lord Harewood. Thirty-six two-year-olds have
been nominated for the Zetland Stakes (5 furlongs 44
yards), several of whom are highly bred. Clanronalit-
by Kettledrum out of Lady Macdonald, is a very nice
two-year-old ; but as he may not be brought out at York,
the Queen Bee Filly and Rebecca are the pair
we shall rely on, although the latter is pe-
nalised 7 lb. The Craven Stakes (1 mile) may
be carried off by White Slave ; the Knavesmire
Plate (4 furlongs) by Thunderstorm or Perambulator; the
Glasgow Plate (5 furlongs 44 yards) by East Coast or
Ismael ; and the Ebor Plate (2 miles) by Primrose or Slap
Bang. On Wednesday, in the Flying Dutchman's Han-
dicap (1i miles) twenty-seven horses have been weighted.
Musket holds Idus safe, measured by their positions
when running at Newmarket, and Mr. Payne's colt reads
like the winner, though Lumley must be dangerous.
Twenty-eight horses have been nominated for the Londes-
borough Cup (6 furlongs), and Douglas and Lady Zetland
have none the worst of the weights. The Stamford Plate
(4 furlongs) will be won by Talisman or Sister to
Promptress, and the Eglington Stakes 5 furlongs 44
yards) by the Queen Bee filly.
The Chelmsford Meeting will be held on Tuesday and
Wednesday. Old Sam and Salus will, however, beat all
corners in the Chelmsford Handicap. Six moderate
animals have been named for the Galleywood Plate (four
furlongs), and the best at the weights is Lady Middleton.
In the Great Baddow Stakes (four furlongs) twenty-seven
two year olds have been engaged, and few of these have
run in public. Dr. Giles or Sweet Home will probably
win this stake. A Sweepstakes of 10 sovs each (four fur-
longs) will fall to Bayminster. On Wednesday the Two-
year-old Plate (four furlongs) is the only closed race, and
this will be won by Jennings's representative, Repose or
Dr. Giles.

Bell's Life says :—" Capital entries have been obtained
for the races at York. Contrary to custom only three
year olds are this time engaged in the Craven Stakes, and
of these White Slave or Ralph Lambton will probably
prove the best. Brennus (Bst 71b) and Star and. Garter
(7st 31b) will take some beating for the Glasgow
Plate and for the Knavesmire Plate Peram-
bulator and Frederica must represent us. No
fewer than thirty-six two year olds, many of them very
highly bred, are engaged in the Zetland Stakes, and it is to
be regretted that amongst them is nothing belonging to the
noble earl from whom the race receives its name. The
Chester winner Rebecca, who has incurred a 71b. penalty,
is very likely to go to the post. If we choose Brigg's bee,
and Columbus to represent us we may not be far out." No
betting has yet been quoted on the Great Northern. Of the
threeyear olds our only fancy is for The Bobby, Fearno ught,
and Lord Harewond. The first-named can stay well,
and is in form JU. U '3w, and Lord Harewood can, we be-
lieve, race a little ; so that tie pair must be dangerous in
so-so company. Of Fearnought good accounts have
reached us, and despite his defeat at Chester, he must not
be hastily set down as worthless. We do not look upon
Mr. Bowes's filly as a really good stayer, but, considering
the cattle that will oppose them, Toison d'Or or Paul Jones
may win, and The Bobby should be a good place invest-
ment.

In the second day's running, Musket looks like being
good business for the Flying Dutchman's Handicap, and
the best of the Spigot Lodge pair—Duneane and Pistache
—should be thereabouts for the Londesborough Cup.
The prophet of the Sportsman says :—For the Great
Northern Handicap only twenty-one horses have accepted,
and we may expect that about half this number will come
to the post. Of the animals that ran in the Chester Cup
Paul Jones and Wild Flower are likely to fight
their battle over again, but I think they will
both be again defeated, and I expect that we
shall see the winner in Toison d'Or, or Lord
Harewood whose most dangerous opponent will be The
Bobby. The Craven Stakes will, in all probability, be
won by White Slave or Promptress. The Knavesmiro
Plate, for two and three year olds, will, I think, be won
by Perambulator or Thunderstorm. The Zetland Stakes
I shall award to Rebecca. In the Ebor Plate I must
once more go for Slap Bang, next to whom will be seen
Fairyland.

Bell's Life hears that, on account of the continued ill-
ness of Mr. Heene, his entire stud of horses in training,
including Bismarck, Acorn, Hawthornden, and some
highiy bred two-year olds, will be sold without reserve at
Albert Gate on the Thursday before the Derby.
The Prince of Wales (according to the South London
Press) will be solicited to patronise the Oval Cricket
Ground, at Kennington, this year. His Royal Highness
is proprietor of the ground. During the past fifteen years
£30,000 has been spent on account of the Surrey county
matches. The cost of last year's matches was £1,157, and
the income £:2,440._

The first of 'Lord Westminster's horses ran in public at
Chester on Friday.
The Hudson Amateur Rowing Association have sent
a challenge to the London Rowing Club for a six-oared
boat-race with or without coxwains to take place on the
Hudson river in October next. In their invitation the
association offer to pay the es of the London crew
both going to vend returning glosir America.
