SPORTING NOTES.

LINCOLN IS.
Turfites are not to be frost-bound situ. all. The 1'1.;
gram from Lincoln is. satisfactory on tha, pout, fur l-
etatee that the running ground is in good ring order'
and that the races will be decided at the appointed ‘iii)c;
Toethe people are sceptical on the subjeat, and fancy
the ground must be as hard a+ 'a paving-stone.
severity of the weather, - which 'has Wen"
`topped certain horsei in their oik, will d
produce a diminishing effe:it on the fields, and cause lb,'
ale jug to tall short of that'
enccess which was orlc-
anticipated. The managers, however, will exert thisf
selves energetically to prevent shortcomings, and I"
care of Mr. Johnson and the zeal of Mr. Ford, OD'
der the proceedings regular and effiment. I know be
little of the "form" of the different animals likely 00,
brought out, that I am unable to calculate the povai
bilities with any degree of accuracy. My knowledge It's-ir
be derived from therunning of the horses last year and 02
opinion founded on known performances. It Odd Trick
Commotion were to be brought out for the Trial Staktr
race of unusual interest for this early period of the 1,-b•
would be occasioned. I should be induced to tsol4 th
Cambridgesbire champion, albeit Church Langton /Ili°
17ibe, thei best of' the weights, ought to be diffieol; i 0
shake off. Nothing is known of the merits or &Kat
of the two year olds engaged in the BrocklesbY "-Ade
Report, however, speaks favourably of Head IKnOide-"
and the Queen of &etc
Vandermulin has been talked about in eons
tEt
with the Lincoln Handicap, but, recollecting his 1J •
down at Warwick, I am disinclined to trust bias too to
course which will be somewhat hard. Could I 001°61%
upon a start, I should have no hesitation in giving 7.
vote of confidence in Yeller Gal, Plumstone, and T.
to
Cooke. The jumping events I shall not attemPS
foretell.
