YORK SPRING MEETING.

YORK, MONDAY EVE SlNG.—Notwithstanding the great im-
portance of the Races, the attendance of the upper classes was
very small, and quite unworthy " a list of fashionables." Of the
lower grade, however, the muster was unusually strong; the
" first year" of the York Derby, the high character of the horses
engaged, and the influence of the Race on the Great St. Leger,
having created an interest almost without parallel of late years ;
its unexpected result has produced an immense sensation in all
the sporting circles here. The weather was fair but gloomy,
promising a fall of rain. We subjoin the particulars of this day's
Races :

Produce Stakes of 50 sovs. each, h. ft. for two-yr-olds.
The Duke of Leeds's f. by Whisker, walked over, and rec.
from two other subscribers.
Sweepstakes of 20 sovs. each, for three-yr-olds ; colts, Bst. 51b.;
fillies, Bst. 21b. Last mile and three quarters. (Seven subs.)
Lord Scarborough's c. by Falcon
Sir E. Dodsworth's Tartar ... 2
Mr. W. Ellis's Primendorf 3
Mr. Tarlton's Sparrowhawk 4
6to 4 agst Primendorf, and 2to I agst Tartar. The favourite
went off in front at a good Leger pace, leading at least three
lengths, Lord Scarborough's lying second, Sparrowhawk third,
and Tartar last to the rails, where Primendorf gave over. Nel-
son, on Lord Scarborough's, then took up the work, holding
hard, his opponents having obviously had enough of it ; he won
in very clever style by three quarters of a length, without being
touched; he is a large promising-looking colt.
First year of the York Derby Stakes of 50 sovs. each, h. ft. for
three-yr-olds ; colts Bst. 71b. fillies Bst. 21b. The owner of the
second horse to save his stake. Mile and a half. (Thirty-one
Subscribers.)
Lord Kelburne's c. by Jerry 1
Mr. Richardson's Fang (brother to Felt) '2
Mr. Payne's Brother to Maria, by Whisker 3
Mr. Stephenson's Variella (sister to Voltaire) 4
The Duke of Leeds's b. c. by Swiss
6 to 4 on Fang, and 2 to 1 agst the winner.—The start was ex-
cellent,
Fang taking the lead at a superior pace, with the others
well up. In this order they came to the rails, where Lord lie'_
burne's came up. At the distance the two commenced a severe
struggle, which terminated in favour of Lord Kelburne by a
head, atter one of the finest races ever seen. Both horses looked
uncommonly
well. Brother to Maria was beaten two or three
lengths, and the others a long way. Run in two minutes and 47
seconds. The winner was ridden by John Day, Fang by Conelly,
Brother to Ma•ia by Scott, Variella by Johnson and the Duke
of Leeds's by Tememan. Fang cost 3,300 guineas ! What is
he worth now ? pl he race has efßcted such confusion in the
betting books that speculation on the St. Leger is out of the
question till the panic has subsided.
The Filly Sapling Stakes of 50 sovs. each, h. ft. for three-yr-old
fillies, fist. 31b. Mile and a half. (Seven subscribers.)
The Duke of Leeds's Lady Maud (Templeman) 1
Mr. Gascoyne's br. by Catton
6 to 4 on Lady Maud, who took the lead, was never headed,
and won easy by a length. The colt ridden by Johnson.
Sweepstakes of 200 sovs. each, h.ft. for three-yr-old ; colts Sst. 51b.,
fillies, Bst. 21b. Mile and three quarters. (Ten subscribers.)
Sir J. Beresford's c. by Comus 1
Mr. Ridsdale's William the Fourth
Mr. Ilouldsworth's Outcast, by Filho
5 and 6 to 4 on William the Fourth, and 3 to 1 agst the win-
ner. The latter took the lead, and kept it to the distance, where
the three formed a line and commenced work. After a short
struggle, Templeman, on Sir J. Beresford's, won rather cleverly
by a length. 'The third was half a length astern of William.
