STRETFORD STEEPLE CHASM—These chases were origi-
nally announced for decision on Mr. Lambert's farm, near

sequence of the severe weather, they were then postponed eine
die, and they have now been altogether abandoned. In lieu
thereof, however, it is intended to bold a race meeting, on the
sameground. on Monday, the 27th February ; and, as Liver-
pool races are fixed for a subtequent day in the same week,
the promoters of the forthcoming meeting at Stretford anti-
cipate a numerous entry and some good sport.
