SPORTING NOTES.
No. XIII.
LIVERPOOL SPRING MEETING.

TO THE EDITOR OF. THE SUN.

Six,—The arrivals at the scene of action up to nine
o'clock this morning were numerous but not complete,
many being en route or expected; the &ids for the three
principal events will be much larger than was amid
pated, and, as far as I can ascertain, will be composed
as follows:

[PRICE SD.

DRURY-LANE THEATRE.
II Mr. Sullivan's delightful comedy, The Old Love
and the New, was performed here last night, previous
to the representation of that most gorgeous and superb
of spectacle!, Azael, the Prodigal, which draws
crowds here every evening. The magnificent and ex •
citing second r.ct still continues to create a perfect
furore. The beautiful dancing of Mdlle. Legrain
is nightly applauded to the echo. The house was
last night so crowded in every part that the most
adroit packer could not have found room for half-a-
dozen more persons in any part of the theatre.

PRINCESS'S THEATRE.
Owing to the indisposition of Mrs. C. Kean, the Mer-
chant of Venice had to be substituted last night for The
Itije's Secret. Despite this disadvantage, Flexmore's
benefit went off with the utmost spirit. His buffo per-
formance in the ballet of Esmeralda, and the very bril-
liant danciog of Madlle. Anriol. who received a vehement
second encore in the " Truandaise," accompanied by a
shower of bouque;e, elicited enthusiastic applause, and
a call before the curtain; and the unrivalled pantomimic
troupe never exerted thathelves with more signal suc-
cess. The loss of such a magnet of attraction as " the
inimitable" would be irreparable to the Princess's,
where, we trust, he may continue long to flourish in
merited and unfading popularity.
