THE YORK AND RATH SPRING MEETINGS.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Sra,—My remarks on yeTsterdssy'srblcesJ York were
correct to the letter in two instances out of three. The
third was for the Flying Dutchman (late Spring Ebor)
Handicap, for whick I selected Backbiter and York-
. you're-wan ed; and of ts surety both were wanted at the
finish of the race; Backbiter not being able to get any
nearer than fourth, and the nag with the lively name
was absolutely sixth and last; Alp, who made all the
running, winning by a head from Chantrey. Lord
Eglintun's 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
. several others. For the York and Ainsty Cup, Vold-
iteur made the running et a wretched pace to the dis-
tance, where Wancy joincd issue, headed him about, a
hundred yards from home, and won cleverly by a length
RI 6 min. 20 sec.! At a quarter before two, the E irl
Eglinton. being of opinion that the Flying Dutch-
man had won hie race with Voltigeur fairly
(in accordance with a declaration made some
time since at Tatterball's), announced the fact.
that he would not start again, consequently
the Emperor's Plate is a certainty for Voltig..ur or Rue-
. borough. I forgot, in my note on the Bath Meeting, to
touch upon the Dyrham Palk Sttkes, and Aristocratic
Handicap, run to-morrow; the former, I fancy, veld be
wow by Haay or Simplicity, with Miss Larkaway and
Windhouod close up—a large field starting; and Vie
latter, by Ferule or Defaulter, the former for choice. I
fell into a considerable error yesterday, in cons. quence
of a mistake in the telegraphic report of the Derby
betting forwarded from York in the morning; I stated
that the Grecian was bsck,d several times at 25 to 1;
Neasham's name must be substituted for Greeian's. The
latest betting in town on future events is as 1,1Iows:
Weston Stakes (Bath)-6 to 4 agst Adine; 7to 2 sgst
Lady Blanche; 5 to 1 each Tested, Little Harry. and
Launceletta. Dyrham Park Stakes-4 to lon the Field.
