YORK SPRING MEETING.

The company at the meeting has been scanty ; although it would not

be easy in Enghual to run a race of any kind without collecting a com- pany, and at York there has not been a small one. One of the races on Monday exhibits an array of names out of which those that are skilled in such matters may pick some curious coincidences. Counts is the god of excitement ; the colt that Comus had begotten in Britannia, it will be seen, came in first for the sweepstakes ; 1Vil1iam the Fourth got only the second place ; while " Outcast,"-which may stand for the Duke's schemes, the more especially as he was the son of Filho da Pine, and without the assistance of " Mille the Duke's schemes would never have .been started,-poor " Outcast," by name and nature, came off last. 'The odds were on William at starting ; but the Britannia colt,

after a short struggle, got in front both of him and Outcast, and won cleverly. The colt bad had the lead of both until they reached the dis- tance; they did not challenge until he was near home.

The reporter essays a new figure in describing this important contest. " The nest," lie says, •• oriole sail at the first attempt, the whole coming together, with all their canvas spread, to the distance, where the three placed, with Muta, Despot, and Mary, came in front and made a bold struggle. which speedily died away on tie part of the three last named: the contest between the other two was conthmed to the end with very great spirit, Sir E. Dodsworth's winning by a head only." " Energy," he adds, "was 'beaten three-quarters of a length from the winner, and Despot was

We were glad to find " Despot" in the rear, but "Energy" has disappointed us. He must be rebaptized. Mister " Energy" is but a bustler at best, like many more ener- getic gentlemen.
