Lincoln, which was continued for three days, and followed
by the Livci-pool Spring Meeting, terminating on Siitiirday,
the day of the Oxford and Cambridge Boat-race-abundant
sport, weather permitting, for one week. The long and
severe ii-inter had a pl"e]Ildl(‘)8l cifect upon many of the
horses who hail engage-incnts at Lincoln, and the ha
frosts (which caused sundown Park and other steeple-
chascs to bepustponedplust weck) prevented them from
ccedings bcgm well, acronling-ly. .

the favourite, Mr. Leopold De llothsc-hild‘s hluestnle, won
