THE YORK ©Ni) RA TH SPRING MEETINGS.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN
SIR,—My remarks on yesterday's races at York were
correct to the loiter in two instances out of three. The
third was for the Flying Dutchman (late Spring Ebor)
Handicap, for which I selected Backbiter and York-
you're-wan ed; and of a surety both were wanted at the
Wall of the race; Backbiter not being able to get any
bearer than fourth, and the natr with the lively name
Was absolutely eixth and last; Alp, who made all the
running, winning by a head from Chantrey. Lord
Eglinton't Pelopidas, however, justified my selection for
the Eglinton Stakes, by winning a well-contested race
by a head. in 56 seconds, from Miss Sarah, Glimmer and
aeteral others. For the York and Ains:y Cup, Vold-
gear made the runuinv at a wretched pace to the dis-
%nee, where Nancy joined issue, beaded him about a
hundred yards from home, and won cleverly by a length
itl.6 min. 20 sec.! At a quarter before two, the E ,f
Eglinton, being of opinion that the Flying Dutch-
!Gall had won his race with Voltigeur fairly
(in accordance with a declaration made some
time since at Tatter. all's), announced the fact,
tbet he would not start again, •consequently
the Emperor's Plate is a certainty for Voltigeur or Rus-
borough. I forgot, in my note on the Bath Meeting, to
touch upon the Dyrham Park Stakes, and Aristocratic
Handicap, run to-morrow; the former. I fancy, will be
iron by Hazy or Simplicity, with Miss Larkaway and
irlindhound close up—a large field starting; and tne
latter, by Fertile or Defaulter, the former for choice. I
fell into a considerable error yesterday, in cons. quence
0, f a mistake in the teleeraphic report of the Derby
betting forwarded from York in the morning; I stated
that the Grecian was backed several times at 25 to 1;
Eeasham's name must be substituted for Greoian'a. The
latest betting in town on future events is as follows:
Weaton Stakes (Bath)-6 to 4 agst Aditte; 7to 2 sgst
Lady Blanche; 5 to 1 each Testef, Little Harry. and
Launceletra. Dyrham Pat k Stakes-4 to lon the Field.
