CHESTER SPRING MEETING.—TUESDAY.
The opening day was satisfactory in every re-
spect. The weather was clear and sunny, and the
racing was sufficiently interesting to sustain the
curiosity of the spectators. The Grand Stand was
well filled, and the Ring was fully represented.
The proceedidga commenced with as fine a race as
was ever witnessed, and Saunterer went down " at
his own distance" before the ever sound Fisherman.
The three animals are engaged in the Cup, and the
impression made by their running is indicated by
the fact of 250 to 10 being laid against them for
the great race of this day. Glenbuck came out
with a great reputation for the Moetyn Stakes, but
he proved unworthy of it, and Mr. Merry's smart
fly, Meg Merrilees, won iu a canter. Thirteen
started for the Chesterfield Handicap, which pro-
duced a dead beat between Duneany and Orchehill.
The race was run IT after the last event of the day,
when Orchehill won by half a length.
The Physician that ran so wretchedly for the.
Chesterfield Handicap is not the Physician engaged
in the Cup. Mr. Barber's colt is by Gameboy, the
other by Chanticleer.
The success of Sunbeam, who won her race in a
canter, brought her to 8 to 1 for the Chester Cup.
