SPOATINLI INTELLIGENCE.

WARWICK SPRING MEETING.-TUESDAY.

The races fixed to come off this day (Tuesday) were
interrupted by a heavy and continuous fall of snow, ,ren-
dering it imperative to postpone the running, after the two
events appended had been disposed of, until Wednesday, at
two o'clock. Great efforts were mado.by the officials to
clear the course of the snow by means of a large number
of men, but their endeavours were only partially successful.
As might be expected, the attendance was very small, the
bookmakers preponderating, and they found little employ-;
ment for their metallies. The Match, owners up, set as the
first event of the day, fell through, and the two races that
did take place broughtout fields of three runners each only,
the evergreen Saccharometer winning the Trial Stakes in
gallant style.
The lt,tcing Stakes of 5 soya each, with 25 added ; two
year olds ist slb, three 9st ; the winner to be sold for

100 sus's ; if for 70 saws allowed 71b, 50 14Ib ; maidens

allowed 41b, fillies and geldings 31b ; five furlongs.
Mr. Godding's Rebecca Colt, 2 yrs, 6st lib (£so)(Butler) 1
Captain Mitchell's Pocket Hercules, 2 yrs, 6A Mb (X5O)
(K..tiyob) 2
Mr. R. Ten Broeck's Dinah, 2 yrs,7st 21b(E100)(Evans) 3
'no betting opened at 6 to 4 on Pocket Hercules, and
closed at evens against him-6 to 4 was laid against the
Rebecca colt. Tbo latter made running at first with a
clear lead, but when they arrived in the straight ho was
joined by Pocket Hercules, the pair running home an eat
citing race, which the Rebecca colt, after having the wore-
of the struggle at the distance, won by a neck. Dinah,
who got badly off, was last throughout, beaten away. The
winner was not sold.

The Trial Stakes of 10 sOTS each, with 50 added; three
year olds 7st, four Bst 91b, five 9st 21b, six and aged 9st
41b ; maiden three year olds at the time of starting
allowed 31h, four slb, five and upwards 101 b; tho Mile

Course. 9 subs.
Mr. Carew's Saccharometer, by Sweetmeat—Defa,mation,
aged, 9st 41b (A. Edwards) 1
Mr. G. Jones's Huntsman, 3 yrs, 'ist (C. Page ) 2
Lord St. Vincent's Redan, 4 yrs, Bst 91b

Tie betting opened at 5 to 4 agst Red.ln, and closed at 7
to 4 each agst Saccharometer and Rodan, and 5 to 2 agst
Huntsman.

Redan made play into the straight, Saccharometer being
last till getting round the turn, when Redan was beaten.
Huntsman thereupon closed up with the son of Sweetmeat,
and appeared to lave the best of the struggle until they
reached the distance. There Edwards shook up the " old
'un," who immediately answered, and finally won cleverly
by a length. Redan .NVnB pulled up at the half-distance,
and finished a bad third.

After this raco the sport was postponed until to-morrow
(Wednesday), at two o'clock, the course being again
covered thickly with snow.

CROYDON SPRING STEEPLECHASES-TUESDAY.

This popular suburban meeting, owing to unparalleled
reverse; has been on the present anniversary a complete
failure. Originally fixed for Thursday last, the authorities
were, in consequence of the inclement weather, obliged to
postpone the gathering till the following day, when the
elements were equally unaccommodating, but by dint of,
clearing the snow off the course the committee wore
enabled to have a day's sport on Saturday, and expected
to conclude the meeting on Monday. The keen frost of
Sunday, and the heaVy fall of snow on Monday morning,
rendered running quite impossible, and a postponement
until to-day was agreed upon. Several of the horses who
bad engagements at Warwick were immediately struck
out, and consequently very few were left to contend the
various events on the card. This morning snow fell in
large flakes alternately with sleet and rain, but running
was found to be practicable, and rather than break faith
with the public, the committee decided to give the added
money in each instance. The course was exceedingly
heavy going in many places, the horses sinking up to their
fetlocks in mud. An idea prevailed in London this morn-
ing that the chases would not come off ; indeed, so well
grounded was the idea that only twenty-three persons
availed themselves of the special train wkich left Cannon-
street at 11.40. The attendance was wretched, and every-
thing presented a disheartening appearance. The sport
was entirely devoid of interest, odds being laid "on" in
each case, and all the favourites pulled Through. Only
three horses contested the Steeplechase, and The Doctor,
one of the " jumping Cures," won with consummate ease,
fencing most brilliantly. Subjoined are full details of the
day's sport :
A Hunters' Stakes of 3 soya each, with 25 added, for horses
that have been regularly hunted with some established
pack of hounds in the United Kingdo'm ; 12st each ;

Betting —7 to 4 on Aggravator, who made play, Salamis
bringing up the. rear for about a mile, when she took
second place, but a quarter of a mile farther on she dropped
last, and thevwn thus to the water-jump, which was
cleared by Salamis in advance of Quicksilver, thefaV;h7fte.
bringing up the rear, but before reaching the next fence
Quicksilver took up the running, leading till about half a
mile from home, when Salamis headed him, the favourite
waiting till fairly in the straight, when he came away and
won easily by three lengths. Quicksilver was a bad third.
The winner was not sold.
A Selling Steeplechase (handicap) of 3 sous each, with 20
added; the winner to be sold for 40 soya; stout two

miles.

mum and Over-the-Sea.
Monitor got away in front, his stable companion lying
last to the water-jump, which Over-the-Sea refused, and
Daniels not being able to induce him to go over he was
walked into the paddock. At the last obstacle St. Maxi-
mum jumped wide, and Monitor coming on, won in a can-
ter by twenty lengths.
The winner was not sold; Mr. Gilkes claimed St. Maxi-

mum.

The Surrey Open Steeple Chase (Handicap) of 20 sous
each, 1.1 ft, and 2 sous only if declared by Tuesday, March

Mr. A. Yates's Harold, 5 yrs, lOst 71b (Pickett) 0

Betting-5 to 2on The Doctor, 11 to 2 agst Accident, 7
to 2 agst Harold.
The favourite made the running with a clear lead of
Accident, Harold bringing up the rear, and they ran in
this order over the water jump and until about a mile of
the journey had been traversed, when Harold refused and
threw Pickett, who very cleverly stopped the horse, al-
though'llis foOt was in the stirrup. At the water jump
the second time round Accident landed it simultaneously
with The Doctor, and, after clearing the next fence, held
a slight lead, which he maintained through the turnip-
field, but on reaching the meadows The Doctor again got
in front, and, quitting his opponent when fairly within the
straight, won with consummate ease by 12 lengths.
Harold, who had been sent along after his refusal, though
hopelesdly in the rear, did not pass the post.

led to the last hurdles, when he bolted out of the course,
and the favourite coining on, won in a canter by eight
lengths.

ROYAL ARTILLERY STEEPLECHASES.
This meeting was held yesterday (Tuesday) on the farm
of Mr. Nicholls, near Eltham, Kent ; but the weather
proving very unfavourable, there was only a small attend-
anco of spectators. The going was so heavy as to cause
many of the gentlemen to refrain from starting their horses,
thus making but poor fields, and the spoculation on each
event was very limited. Below are the details of the

THE MUSIC HALL SICK FUND.

(The following appsared in our third edition of yes-
terday evening.)
The first general meeting of the members of this
fund was held this afternoon, at Weston's Music
Hall, High Holborn. • Mon Boucicault, Esq.,
presided.
. The CHAIRMAN opened the proceedings by call-
ing upon Mr. Holland, the proprietor of the noble
apartment in which they were assembled, to rend
the heads of the rules of the society, which, since
the last meeting, had been certified by Mr. Tidd
Pratt.
Mr. HOLLAND said, before he did as the respected
chairman desired, he would take the liberty of
stating that the present meeting was rendered
riooessley in order that the .society might become
incorporated in the usual manner. The law directed
that theofficers of the society shall be appointed at a
meeting following the delivery of the certified rules,
.and that fact would account for the holding of the
presmt meeting.
The rules Lavine,o been 'read, and the officers ap-
pointed,
The CIIAIRMAN, in addressing the meeting, said
he had great pleasure in doing so, because
they were about to • take a step 'which• re-
fleeted upon them gs a bodyAlio_highot
They were then about to take upon them-
selves ono of the most sacred of duties, viz., provid-
ing for-themselves in sickness; 'Anti preventing any
of their community becoming a burden on their
fellow-citizens. The fund they were about to estab-
lish would effect its noble object, and the gentlemen
to whom they were indebted for taking the initia-
tive were Mr. Holland, Mr. P. Corri, Mr. A.
Lloyd, and Mr. Nash. There were no less than
240
music halls hi England ; andute , from a careful cal-
culation, it had been compd that 25,000 persons
were dependent upon fsfuoirirntg.

personally, he was under a deep debt of gratitude,
because no inconsiderable 'portion of the fortune he I
had accumulated was owing to the audiences they
had sent to him. He was glad they had decided
against the proposition for almshouses, because he
disapproved of everything that fixed the livery of
charity on or placed the infirm professional in a
position where he could be exhibited to the benevo-
lent public. (Cheers.) He looked upon the society
they were about to found merely as a branch, because
ho fully anticipated that in a short time they would
have to meet to form a Veteran. and Education Fund.
(Cheers.) The proprietors of the different music
halls had been communicated with, and at
least .two hundred of them had promised
to give annually a benefit in aid of the

He had very great pleasure in presenting 25 guineas
to the fund. (Cheers.)
A cordial vote of thanks, on the motion of Mr.
Holland, was accorded to .. the-- chairman, who,
In acknowledging the compliment, again congratu-
lated the founders of the Fund on the success of
their noble efforts, and wished them every prosperity
for the future.
A list of sullieriptions, in addition to the dona-
tion of the chairman, was read, which amounted to
4 over 200 guineas. .
