At my present writing many doubts exist as to
whether the Lincoln Meeting will take place this
week or not. Information from the city is very
unsatisfactory ; for, although it states that several
horses have arrived, and that stabling has been
engaged for many more, yet it also describes the
running ground as being is parts as hard as- a
paving-stone, while in other portions of it the
snow has drifted many inches deep. The severe
weather is, therefore, likely to inflict a sore
disappointment upon turfites who are eager for
active work, and who really anticipated the Lin-
coln Meeting with no little pleasure. The list of
sport is attractive enough, and it certainly promises
some very interesting races. Rattlebone and
Curlew are expected to do battle for the Tria
Stakes, and the advantage in 'the weight induces
many people to place their trust in Mr. T. Parr's
colt, a trust which I am bound to share.
Gannymede—better knows as Tom Gurney—is
worthy of consideration for ;he Steeple Chase, for
at Slough last week he gave evidence of having
recovered his old form.

Of course only a guess car be made at the pro
bable result of the Brockleslo Stakes, for with the
exception of Little Lady, who won the Yearling
Race at Shrewsbury last aummn, the youngsters

likely to be brought out are unknown to fame. I
have heard a good report of Julio, and Mr. T.
Parr is said to have a nice thing in Eccola. Mr.
Mellish, too, is very fond of Rupert. I shall not
attempt to decide their respective claims. For the
City Handicap I have a great fancy for The Dane.
The Lincoln Handicap will, bang out a large field.
Curlew,
,is or was the favourite, and to him and
Ambush I shall leave the race.
