SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

LIVERPOOL SPRING MEETING.-TUESDAY.

This meeting, so long looked forward to with anxiety
and excitement, opened yesterday with every promise of
success save in one respect, the weather. Ou Monday the
influx of turfites was something unusual in point of num-
bers ; yet many of the leading bookmakers did not arrive
till late in the evening. 'Therefore very little speculation
took place prior to the races, and especially on the Grand
National, Vim majority of speculators regarding the con-
test as an open ono. The weather on Tuesday morning
was raw, chilly, and disagreeable, a keen and cutting "nor'-
wester" sweeping across the course, and bringing along
with it occasionally a damp and chilling sleet. Visitors
arrived on the course every hour from about ten o'clock
by trains, from the Exchange Station, and the water jump
was the cynosure of all eyes. It measures 15 feet
water, with a raking facer of gorsed hurdle of Jour feet,
somewhat like that of last of last year. Owing to the
wet weather, the course generally was heavy-going, and
in some portions sticky and deep, and the inference, there-
fore, was that the light weights would have the best of it
in the longer races. Northern Light and Port Royal
were scratched for the Grand National, at Messrs. Woa-
therby's, yesterday (Tuesday) morning; and Foresight, a
prominent favourite for the Cup, was struck out of that
engagement at 8 a.m., on the 2d of March. On Tuesday
morning, also, Bertie, Hornet, Belzoni, Kate Kearney, Re-
porter, Surney, and Corkscrew were scratched for all their
engagements at Aintree to-day. There were seven events
set down for decision, Commencing with the Mer-
sey Cup, which resulted ino -walk over by Lord
Westmorland's Mester 'Willie. Three of the five
coloured went to the post for a forty nova plate, and
so good a thing was Mistletoe considered that the extra-
vagant odds of 5 to 1 were laid on her ; these calculations
were, however, completely upset by King's Daughter win-
ning in a canter. For the Tyro Stakes Sir Charles Rush-
out's smart filly Hilda again made an example of her
opponents, winning in a common canter by six lengths,
,thus making a third easy victory in the space of a fort-
night. The Trial Steeplechase—a new race which had
been regarded with some interest —proved a complete
failure, three horses only starting for it, and but two
being left in at the finish. For the Spring Flying
Stakes ten ran, Moonbeam on her recent form being elected
favourite, but Mr. Bennett's useful mare Dawdle won
pretty easily by a length. The Annual Hurdle Race was
won by Pearl Diver, and the performance so pleased the
backers of Mr. Brayley's horses for the Grand National
that both of them were immediately afterwards well sup-
ported for the big event. In the course of the afternoon
there was a good deal of betting on the Grand National,
but speculation was confined chiefly to the favourites,
Chimney Sweep being backed freely at 100 to 15, while
The Lamb, at 7 to 1, was almost as freely supported•
Moose, at 7 to 1, was in some force after the winning of
Pearl Diver, but 9to 1 was subsequently offered. Fan
became a much better favourite, 2 to 1 being laid that she
would start, while 10 to 1 was taken :about her winning.
Some sensation was occasioned in the Ring by the an-
nouncement of all Mr. Studd's horses having been struck
out of the Grand National at 3 15. Details of the running
and the day's speculation are appended :--

Betting opened at 6 to 4, andfinished at 5 to 1 on Mistle-
toe. King's Daughter made the running, followed closely
by Mistletoe and Langhb.m. At the distance Mistletoe
challenged King's Daughter, but could never overhaul her,
and was beaten in a canter by three lengths. Langham
was a bad third.

extreme right, made play, Hilda, close to the rails, being
next, slightly in advance of Beautiful Bird, who, in the
centre, was bringing up the ruck. At the distance Adams
let Hilda have her head, and coming away, she won in a
canter by six lengths. The others were eased at the com-
mencement of the stand enclosure, when pursuit of Sir C.
Rushout's filly was seen to be hopeless, and all were placed
by the judge. Two lengths separated second and third,
and a neck third and four; Beautiful Bird was fifth, and
Hagar last.

work, closely followed by Bridegroom and Brighton ; but
all refused at the first fence ad, at a second attempt,
Brighton stuck in the ditch. 'At the fence following both
again refused, but afterwards got over, and went on with
an alternate lead for a mile, when Pensioner refusing,
Bridegroom got twenty lengths in front and retained that
advantage. Nearing home Pensioner decreased the gap,
but never getting up was beaten by a length and a half.

medes, The Rock, Nu, and Endsleigh in a cluster, Steam-
boat and Pearl Diver in the roar, with Tumult acting as
whipper-in. After going three quarters of a mile Archi-
medes and Tumult blundered and fell, when The Rock
assumed the lead into the straight. At the last fence he
was joined by Pearl Diver, and the two landed together.
Mr. Brayley's horse, however, getting the best of it, won,
after a good race,
by a length ; Nu was a bad third, End-
sleigh fourth. •

[ADvEwnsE3tENT.]--Holloway's Ointment and Pills.—
Pew persons are so favoured by circumstances or so forti-
fied by nature as to enable them to pass unscathed the
sore trials of an inclement season, with catarrhs, coughs,
and influenza everywhere surrounding. It should be uni-
versally known that Holloway's ointment diligently rubbed
upon the chest cheeks the worst assaults of those maladies,
and securely wards off more grave and dangerous diseases
of the throat and lungs. The truth of this assertion must
remain unquestioned in the face of thousand 3 of unim-
peachable living attestors, who have personally derived
the utmost possible benefits from this simple treatment
when their present sufferings were appalling and their
future prospects most disheartening. Buth remedies act
admirably together.

RAILWAY AND OMER COMPANIES.

TRENT, ANCIIOLME, AND GRI3ISIIY.

The half-yearly meeting of this company was
held at Doncaster on Saturday ; the Hon. W. G.
Eden in th,?, chair.

The report stated that £273,910 hall been re-
ceived on capital account, and £263,706 expended
to the 31st of December last. The revenue account
showed a balance after the payment of working ex-
penses, interest of mortgages, and interest on ad-
vances made by the South Yorkshire and the Shef-
field Companies, of £299.

The retiring directors were re-elected, and also
Mr. S. Roberts, the retiring auditor.

A vote of thanks to the chairman concluded the
proceedings.

BIUDPORT.

The directors in their report regret that for the
past, half year the available balance of revenue,
£6lO, was insufficient for any dividend, except on
the preference shares, on
_which they proposed de-
claring a dividend at. the' rate of 6 per cent. per
annum. They call the attention of the shareholders
to the unsatisfactory relationship of thecompany
the Great. Western Railway Company,and express W
an opinion that the time has arrived for collecting
the views and opinions of the shareholders thereon:
The directors state that when the working agree-
ment was negotiated between the two companies it
was distinctly stated that the Bridport Company
were to receive a clear 47i per cent. of the gross
receipts, and that the remaining 52i per cent. was
to cover all expenses whatever of the Great Western
CompanY, or they would not have agreed to such
terms. The Bridport directors, therefore, contended
that nothing should be deducted for cartage or any-
thing else previously to a division of gross receipts.
The capital account showed that £112,068 had been
expended.
