EPORTIN 4 NOTES.

The Lincoln Meeting was carried out in the most
satisfaciory manner on Tuesday and Wednesday
last. Racing men of all denominations came from
every quarter to assist at the sport with the greatest
avidity, and although it was not noticeable for any
close finishes comparable to its predecessor of 1866,
plenty of interest attached to it from the effect
likely to be produced upon forthcoming events.
Primrose was installed first favourite for the Trial Stakes,
but almost stood still at the finish, a convincing proof the
filly is not in her usual form, as at the Newmarket
Houghton Meeting, last season, she ran a close race with
Gilead over the Beacon course, just three times the dis-
tance. Old "Sac" won cleverly, another proof of what
a good horse can do over his favourite distance of ground.
A good deal of time was wasted over the start for The
Brocklesby Trial Stakes, in which Thermometer, who
came to the front before travelling half the short
distance they had to gb, was joined by Nike ; the
former, however, always having the best of it beat
the. Duke of Newcastle's filly cleverly by' a length ;
still it must be recollected the latter was giving
him 101 b, and the allowance for sex. Volunteer started
first favourite, and, although backed for a lot of money,
never showed in the race ; in fact finished one of the last
three. Nineteen competitors mustered at the post for The
Lincolnshire Handicap, but Vandervelde came to the
front on reaching the straight, and though Beadle joined
issue with him a short distance from home, he never
could reach the leader's head, and was beaten cleverly by
half a length; whilst Bismarck, two lengths off,
.was
third, and thus saved the place money of his numerous
backers. The other principal favourites—Portunatus,
John Halifax, The Special, Copenhagen, Mrs. Allan, and
Lady Pam—cut up badly, but Lady Pam ran very
formidable some two-thirds of the distance. Count
Batthyany wins about £5,000, which he was enabled
to get on at the liberal odds of 20 to 1. Nike recom-
pensed her noble owner for the previous defeat by winning
The Blankney Stakes in a canter, and effectually settling
the pretensions of the Marquis of Hastings's representative,
Traviata, for The Brocklesby Stakes the next day. The
Hunters' Plate produced a field of twenty runners, and
turned out the good thing the betting indicated for Royal
Tartan, who won all the way. The Handicap Hurdle
Race,' which was another certainty for the gentlemen,
wound up a capital day's sport.
The proceedings commenced on Wednesday with the
Scurry Handicap, in which Volunteer opened the ball by
winning, after a close race by a neck, but with a rip like
Delium so near to him it does not say much for his form.
In the Brocklesby Stakes, seventeen juveniles, five less
than last year when this race took place on the first day,
facedithe starter's flag, and after a fine race it resulted in
favour of the Duke of Newcastle's Ninny, who was, in
point of condition and quality, the best-looking animal of
the lot. Veda, who had been tried with Lady Sophie,
very nearly turned out one of the lucky coups for which
the Earl of Westmorland has become so remarkable. His
lordship, however, had a good turn with the latter in The
All-Aged Selling Stakes, which she won easily, upsetting
another great "pot " in Oppressor, a brute about whom 11
to 1 was taken for the Derby of 1865. The City Handi-
cap went to Sir Fredk. Johnstone by the aid of Historian,
who must have recovered a fair share of the amount for
stakes he had previously cost his owner, I 1 S the money
was "put down" without compunction. The only other
race worth noticing—The Grand Steeple Chase—was won
by Meanwood—entrusted with very little money in conse-
quence of the inglorious exhibition he made of himself in
the Hurdle race of the previous day.
Harrow was very indifferently patronised on Thursday
and Friday last, and the only incident worth alluding to
was in connection with the Handicap Plate of 40 sovs.,
for which race Libertine at one time bid fair to be as great
a favourite as when he won the Trafford Handicap at Man-
chester.; no sooner, however, had the horses gone' to the
starting-post than he suddenly receded from odds of 3 and
4 to 1, taken freely, to 20 to 1, and indeed any price
offered. In the race it looked any odds on Libertine, who
when full of running, appeared to be suddenly pulled up.
The owner was as surprised as the public at his wretched
performance, as ho had backed him to win a large stake.
Nottingham and West Drayton Meetings unfortunately
clash together, both taking place on Tuesday and
Wednesday next, but without doubt a fair share of
patronage will be awarded to each. There is very little
probability, at any rate, of such a contretemps occurring at
the first-named place, which, in consequence of inclement
weather, prevented the second day's events from being
concluded last year. The Trial Stakes appears on
paper a certainty for BISMARCK. In the Nottingham
Spring Handicap the most favourably weighted are Life
Guardsman, 4 yrs, 7st 21b, Scarborough, 5 yrs, 7st, Sweet
Anne, 4 yrs, 6st 121 b, and Brick, aged, Est 101 b. Beadle,
I believe, goes, and the class he meets is so very moderate
that I think he will beat everything bar Numa Pompilius,
whom I have an idea, from his light weight, will be just
about winning. Cora, also, has an outside chance.
The Stand Plate has Queen of Tramps, Lady Valentine,
and Landlord engaged, and if I made a choice of one of
these, it would be QUEEN of TRUMPS, who is worth back-
ing at almost any weight over this short course. The Inn-
keepers' Plate will be won by LADY PAM, if she runs, and
in her absence I prefer the chanee of CROWN PRINCE.
The Macaroni Stakes I know nothing about, and the Park
Stakes has not yet been entered for.
Wednesday's racing includes the Little John Stakes, for
two year olds, in which, as the Duke of Newcastle's NINNY
is engaged, there is no doubt in my mind, notwithstanding
her 51b penalty, that she will beat all comers, especially
Bagpipe, Sultana, Eau to Vie, Strike a Light, Fair Star,
and Pyrenees—whom she defeated in the Brocklesby
Stakes —as well as Bliss, Traviata, and the colt by Lamb-
ton cut of Lampada, whose running in other races at Lin-
coln gives them no chance. The only one of the dark
division I should fancy, if he claim to the post, would be
Ritualist by Newminster out of Trickstress, well bred and
good looking enough for anything, and trained by Joseph
Dawson. The Forest Handicap depends a great deal on
previous runing—at present. LANDLORD and Musicfax look
most attractive to me.
The West Drayton Meeting is sure to attract a 'large
body of the class of sportsmen from the metropolis who
from business or inclination do not care to assist at the
Midland meetings of this week. lam not in a position to
know what may be the intention (.1 owners for the diffe
rent races, therefore must be satisfied with calling atton
tion to HOP LEAP'S favourable weight for the West Dray.
ton Handicap, which I think she or Aggravator cugh'
to wits

There is every prospact of:a successful meeting at Derby
on Thursday and Friday, to make amends, let mo hope,
for the abandonment of the spring meeting last year,
which, as well as the last day's racing at Nottingham,
previously alluded to, was necessitated in consequence of
the frosty state of the weather. If LANDLORD has not
performed successfully earlier on the week, he cannot well
be beat here ; but should he be, I shall leave his overthrow
to CONTRACT. Whichever Lord Coventry sends of his

two for the Hurdle Race ought to be the winner, unless it
turns out to be Fan's journey, which I question is likely
befire the Liverpool Steeplechase. Eau de Vie or Pyre-
nees are, I think, just good enough to beat their opponents
in the Harrington Stakes. Setting aside any mishaps for
the Great Midland Steeplechase, there is nothing to beat
the King of Hearts, and between his owner and the Lord
of Croome I believe the race will be decided.

The Great Midland Spring Handicap (one mile) is not
a favourite distance with Lord Bateman's celebrated mare,
otherwise I should think the race, with only Bst I2lb to
carry, was a gift to QUEEN OF TRUMPS. The next which
attract my attention are Mrs. Allan and Bismarck, and if
I add Lady Pain to this lot, I think they will furnish use
with the winner.

The following remarks respecting the Soiled Dove case,
from the pen of "Argos," appaar in to-day's
.31Orning
Post :
" The case of the Soiled Dove bets will come before the
committee of Tattertsill's at mice, and 1 should not be sur-
prised if it occasioned fighting, as opinions are said to be
very much divided upon the way in which the matter
should be dealt with. It is to be regretted Admiral lions
should have already published his view of the case, be-
cause he is, of course, bound to support it; and as the
committee are an appellate court of jurisdiction, no in-
timation of their official decision should be made known
until they give their judgment. Would, for instance,
the ()reread and Gurney case be taken up to the Home
of Lords if Lord Chelmsford had addressed the Law Jour-
nal on the conduct of the firm in question ? I think not ;
but still, notwithstanding this error iu judgment, I trust
the question will be calmly argued and the issue well
received."
The above remarks entirely coincide with the opinion
I expressed when the dispute arose.

A FRESH MAN.

castle, the Earl of Westmorland, Si F. Johnstone, Bart.,
