WARWICK SPRING MEETING.-TUESDAY.

Keenly remembering the wretched weather with which
we were visited this time twelvemonth at Wai wick
Spring—when Mr. Merry had to organise a battalion of
sweepers to remove the snow, and the merest parodying
of racing was persisted in till winter remained for two
days undisputed master of the situation—the contrast of
the present bright, though occasionally showery, atmo-
sphere was warmly appreciated. This meeting is gene-
rally a successful one, though on this occasion there are
indications that, like the other Spring meetings, with the
exception of Lincoln, the fields will be small, and nothing
very particular in quality.

As Uncas had all the pull of the weights in the Trial
Stakes, which was reduced to a match with Lozenge, he
won, though not without an attempt to cut it near home,
rather cleverly. His Derby pretensions, however, must be
dismissed after this. Rampart was a very good thing in
the Stand Handicap. The Hunters' Stakes always brings
out a good field hero, and ten runners presented them-
selves, the favourite never being in the hunt, the outsider
Esparto making all the running and winning in a canter.
The Hurdle Handicap saw the defeat of the great favourites
Orno and Musketeer by Lord Waldegrave, who won with
the greatest ease by five lengths.
The weather did not keep the promise of the morning,
and turned out cold. The attendance was tolerably
good.

The Trial Stakes of 10 sovs each, with 50 added by the
town of Warwick; three yr olds 7sr, four Bst 91b, five
9st 21b, six and aged 9st 41b; the winner of the Derby,
Oaks, or St. Leger 101 b extra ; maiden three yr olds at

Mr. E. C. Clayton 're Lozenge, 6 yrs, 9st 41b
(Mr. \V. Beville) 2
Betting-75 to 40 on Uncas, who took a slight lead as
they quitted the post, and made play at a steady pace, to
the half- mile post. Here the non-favourite joined issue,
the pair running locked into the distance, where it ap-
peared a race, but half way up the favourite, who ran
very shifty, shook off his opponent, and won cleverly at
last by a length.
The Racing Stakes of 5 sovs each, with 23 added ; two yr
olds 7st 51b, three 9st ; the winner to ba sold for 100
Boys ; if entered for 70 sovs allowed 71b, if for 50 sovs

Betting-9 to 4 agst Dr. Wilson, and 3to 1 each agst
Pero and St. Valentine.

The start was delayed some time through the fractious -
ness of Sultana, who refused to join her horses. She was
at last led up, when they left the post in close company,
Dr. Wilson, if anything, having a trifle the best of the
start. Shortly after he was joined by St. Valentino
and Ottoman, to whom succeeded Pero and Sultana, side
by side. They ran thus into the straight, where Dr.
Wilson gave way to St. Valentine and Ottoman, who
came on together, the former winning cleverly by a neck ;
a length and a half separated the second and third. A bad
fourth.

The winner was bought in for 95 guinea; and Mr. G.
Angell claimed Ottoman.

half ; a bad third ; Cromwell beaten off.

Betting-7 to 4 agst Silenus, 2to 1 agst Master Willie,
and 100 to 30 agst Indigestion. Laugh= jumped away
with a clear lead, waited upon by indigestion and Master
Willie, the favourite bringing up the rear. As they
reached the three-quarter of a mile post Master Willie
gave place to Silenus, who took his place at the girths of
Indigestion, the pair following the leader into the straight.
Here Langham was beaten, and Silenus, then quitting his
horses, came on with a slight lead, which he retained to
the end, and won very cleverly by a length. Laugh=
finished a bad third.

A Plate of 50 sovs (Handicap); winners after March 12

1 agst Sugarstick, 100 to 15 agst Alicia, and 8 to 1 agst
Dunoon.

Alicia, in company with Mistletoe and Dunoon, was the
first away, closely attended by Sugarstick, the favourite,
and Adamanthea, Fire-eater being a long way in their rear.
They ran thus to the turn into the straight, rounding which
Alicia gave way to Mistletoe, who held a slight lead to the
distance, where Sugarstick and Diamond came through
their horses, and, as they neared tho enclosure, drew in
advance, the former having a trifle the best of it, which
she retained to the end, and won very cleverly by half a
length. Diamond defeated Dunoon by two lengths for
second. Mistletoe with Alicia at her girths finished fourth
and fifth close up, with Adamanthea in their track. Fire-
eater was beaten off a long way.

Esparto took a clear lead at starting, followed by Wood-
bury-hill, Gem, Rivets, and Jove, in the order we have
given them, King Alfred and Curragh lying in the rear.
Rising the hill, Woodbury-hill gave way to Rivets and
Jove, who followed the leader to the half-mile post, when
Buffoon and the favourite somewhat improved their posi-
tions. When fairly round the turn Jove headed Rivets,
but was never able to roach the leader, who won in a
canter by four lengths. A similar distance separated the
second and third ; Buffoon was fourth, King Alfred fifth,
and Woodbury-hill, pulling up on the post, sixth. Then
came Gem, Alice Fauconberg, Redan, and Curragh, at

In taking her preliminary canter Baden bolted and
jumped the cords, but was quickly brought back, and they
left the post in close company, the favourite having a
slight lead, which she retained into the straight. Here
Maidment indulged her with a pull, which let up Baden,
who came on in advance to the distance, where she ap-
peared in difficulties and was immediately headed by Car-
lotta, who came on and won a good race by three parts of
a length.
