Acceptances or declarations were due February 4. and by this time there is probably a lively antepost market on the Lineolshire Handicap and the Liverpool Grand National Steeplechase.. The weights in four of these big races are here published. They are interesting in affording a fair view of Kng-lands present resources in . the way of high-class handicap horses, and also of what the official han-dicappers think of their relative merit. It will be observed that Lord dAbernons splendid mare Diadem is handicapped to be about the best horse in Knglaud. Probably if Gainsborough had been entered in the City and .Suburban he would have been set to give her something more than her sex allowance.
