It is intended to hold the Ward Hunt Steeplechases on
March 23, and the Carlow Races have been fixed for the
second Tuesday and Wednesday in October. We must
say that parties are very slow about fixing their meetings,
and no doubt the usual amount of cannoning will take
place from not being early in the field.
Shrewsbury Spring Meeting.—Several races for this
meeting on the flat and over hurdles close on Feb. 11,
there being already 22 subscribers to each of the jumping
events. _ .

Durham Races (Easter Monday).—The Durham Hunt
Cup, value 50 sovs• in money, closes on Tuesday next
(Feb. 4).

The Ashgill Estato.—This estato and well-known train-
ing estab:ishrnent, in the occupation of the Messrs. Os-
borne, has boon purchased for .£3,000 by their brother-in-
law, T. Obaloner, the jockey.

Retirement of the Earl of Jersey.—We have to announce
the retirement of the above young nobleman from the
Turf, and we aro givon to understand his entire stud of
race horses will come to the hammer in the course of the
ensuing month.

SOUTH `'FOLD HUNT STEEPLECHASES.—These events
are fixed for Thursday, April 9. The programme will
shortly appear, consisting of four chases for hunters, over
the Old Course, which isone of the best in England.
NEWTON SUMMER MEETING.—The following stakes
close on Tuesday next :—The Golborne Park Stakes, for
two'-year olds;-the Trafford Park Stakes,' and the Lymo
Park Stakes. _ _ _

A grand dinner, at which the lovers of horseflesh will be
enabled to partake of this now article of food, will take
place at the Langham Hotel on Fob. 6.
It is with feelings of the deepest regret we record the
death a few days ago of Mr. James Hall, a well known and
esteemed member of Tattersall's.
Howden (Yorkshire) Steeplechases will take place on
April 23d. The usual stakes will be advertised in due
time.
Moose and Pearl Diver were struck out of the Lincoln
Hurdle Race immediately the weights appeared.
Globule, Chesterfield, and Hornet, were struck out of
the Birmingham Steeplechase directly the weights ap-
peared.
We regret to hear that J. Laud broke his leg while
hunting on Wednesday last.
Torquay Steeplechases will take place on April 21st
and 22d.
Mansfield Races.—The effort to establish another spring
mooting promises to be successful, Mansfield—one day
only this year—being fixed to succeed Lincoln and precede
Nottingham. A capital programme for a beginning has
been issued, the result of the joint labours of the Duke of
Newcastle and Mr. Savile, both of whom are liberal
sup-
porters of the meeting. The bill of fare is of a very inte-
resting character, and there appearsonut

The Disputed Farmers' Hunt Cup at Donington.—
An objection, it will be remembered, was preferred against
Come Again, who came in first for the Farmers' Hunt Cup
at the late Donington Meeting, on the ground of being a
previous winner. We are now informed that the case
will be submitted to the Grand National Steeplechase
Committee at their first meeting, rumour meanwhile
indicating that none of the horses running were properly
qualified.

Birmingham Steeplechases.— The Hunters' Plate of 40
sovs, with 10 sovs for the second, and the Farmers' Chase
of 3 sovs each, with 30 sovs added by J. De 11. Chadwick,
Esq., close and name on Tuesday next (Feb. 4), to Mr.
John Sheldon, Bell-street, Birmingham.
