LIVERPOOL SPRING MEETING.

To the EDITOR of the LIVERPOOL STANDARD.

SlR,—Few cannot but be aware that the " Grand National"
comes off to-morrow (Wednesday), and in offering my final
prediction, which, I hardly need say, is but a preconception, I
have only to reiterate the names of Sir John and.the Abbess of
Jerveaux for their respective races. However, as I must have
a double reserve for this Steeple chase, I will name two as the
most likely to sliew up next, the trio which will naturally be
formed will consist of

SIR JOHN, MISS MOWBRAY, and VICTRESS.
And should the Cup Race be worth a single reserve, I shall
include it in the names of the Abbess of Jerveaux and True
Girl.—lam, Sir, &c., BEESWING.
