D.J.C. SPRING MEETING.

In concluding our notice of this meeting, we may say that altogether it was successful, the nne weather tending greatly to that re* suU Ihe racing itself did not all pass off satisfactorily, there being considerably un* pleasantness over Maboi’s exhibition in tbe ht. Andrews Handicap i„ which she came in about IUO yords behind the other hoises; whiD. m tbe Spring Handicap (running against the same and s nne inferior horses) she almost cantered in a winner Mabel bad been heavily' backed, both right out for each race and in doubles, ever since the entries were yiibl'SoeJ, and she earned nearly all the publics money, A. protest was lodged against her in the second race, on the ground that she jostled Verbena, but it was not sustained. A nothcr protest to the effect that .he was “pulled” in the big race, will be considered by the Jockey Club to-night. A ood deal of surprise was caused by Wee Lad being scratched for the Selling Race, which had been looked upon as a gift for mm, and for which, consequently, he had b. on freely backed. I here was a great want of pnuctuality shown in starting the various events, all being at least an hour behind time ; but this is the only complaint that can be brought against the stewards, whose arrangements in all other respects were per* feet To them and toMrR H. Bailey,'who acted as timekeeper, and Mr James, the secretary, we express our thanks for the leaay manner-in w r hich they gave us in’or* mation.
