. w.tjdioap Sweepstakes of B soys. each, ' with 50 soys. added. Second horse to receive 15 soys. oi>t of the stakes. Dis tance, 11 miles. TJlrO C MeGeVs b m Creeping Jenny, Led,93tsib {Thorpe) 1 \fr H. C. Yr^ng's br c Bedouin, 4 years, Bst (Culvert) , ... 2 Sir W. Valters' b m Slander, aged, 9st 81b '.French) ... • 3 Mr-j J Kirkwood's blk g Sultan, aged, Wlllb 0 Sultan was scratched. When the horses were undergoing their toilets the one that attracted most attention was Bedouin. Mr Young's bay colt of last ye ar has developed into a very good-looking horse showing powerful quarters and a neat level frame. His bright coat indicated good condition. Creeping Jenny looked well, and was reported to have done good work. Slander looked jady, and there seemed but a faint prospect of her emulating the deeds of her younger days. The betting was about equally divided between Bedouin and Slander, and might be quoted at even against each, and 2 to 1 against the winner. After two or three attempts th_ g a „ fell to a good start, Bedouin getting slightly the best of it. This advantage'a* increased to three or four lengths past the 'stand, Slander lying last. At. tbe turn Creeping jenny came up rapifU,y, an d i a the far gide drew tip alongside, t h e leader. Going through the cutting the mare took a slight lead, but Bedouin stuo E gamely to her, and it was not until the;^ arrived at the turn into the straight that daylight was to be seen be twe'_<i_ them. Once in the straight, however, *__& race was seen to be over. Creeping Jenny gradually increased her lead, and won easily at the finish by two lengths. Slander seemed out-paced from the commencement. Time 2 mm. 35 sec. Handicap Steeplychase, a sweepstakes of 5 soys. each, with 50 soys. added. Second horse to receive 15 soys. out of the stakes. Distance about 3 miles. Mr E. Perkins' b g Rustic, aged, list 41b (J. Thorpe) 1 Mr N. Stafford's br g Highflyer, aged, 9st 71b'(J. Henwood) 2 Captain F. Y. Goring's eh g Rustic, aged 9st 71b (Mr D. Munn) 0 All the three entered put in an appearance. ' Mr Perkins' Eustic is well known as the winner of the Autumn Steeplechase, He is a great leathering bay gelding. H e looked rather rough, but sound in w; n a and limb. Mr Goring's Rustic is a contrast to his namesake. He is a mere pony only 14 hands 2 inches high, but his is well knit and his quarters are sir,g U ] ar i y muscu ] ar f or g0 small a horse. Highflyer is a big bony animal with sor^ e g 0o <j points. Betting 5 _on Mr p er kins' Rustic j 6 to 4 agamic Mr Goring's Rustic. After c wo attempts a straggling start was effec+^t^ the big Bustic going away with a commanding lead. He and Highflyer got Veil over the first jump, but Goring's Rustic "refused, and was only got over at the second attempt. At the third jump Highflyer re fused, and Perkins' Rustic went on with a long lead, clearing his fences in his usually capital style. At the hedge by the cottage on the far side both Highflyer and Goring's . Eustic persistently refused. After this Mr Perkin's Rustic went round the course at his leisure, and taking his fences without a mis take, came in by himself. Highflyer, after try ing about 20 times, went over the hedge, but refused again immediately afterwards. Per severing for the 2nd money he is supposed to have come in some time during the afternoon. ■ t^jam Ta**. at intervals shout 3 were heard, inquiry, were ascribed to his .red another fence. ook Httkdle Race Handicap, a ikes of 5 soys. added. Second receive 15 soys. out of the stakes. c, 2 miles over eight flights of skin's cb g Isleman, aged, lOst 41b(McGJasMin)... ' 1 Mr J. Kirkwood's blk g Sultan, aged. 2 Mr E. I>. Haletead's b g Gameboy, aged, 9at 81b ... 3 Captain P. Y. Goring's b g Middy Ashore, aged, lOst 71b 0 ltist 21b 0 Mr W. J. Mark's ns, b g Warwick, aged, M 81b 0 Betting 2 to 1 each against Middy Ashore and Isleman; sto 2 against Gameboy ; and 4 to 1 against Sultan. There was more speculation over this race than any of the others. Warwick was an nounced as scratched at two o'clock, but all the rest came to the post. ' Middy looked quite as well as' he did at the last meeting, and the public re membering the formidable show he then made in the Hurdle Race until baulked by row of tbe other horses, gave him their support on this occasion. Isle man is a fine strapping chesnut, rather fef?gy but with a very taking appearance. The marks however on bis legs and rump told that the story about his being knocked about on his way up was true. Old Sultan looked rather stale, but Gameboy appeared in good fettle and in ths strength of his fluke last meeting was extensively patronised. When the flag fell they all got well away, *nd there were no mishaps till pafesing the cutting when Middy and Sultan bolted. Weman eventually won easily. A Selling Steeplechase of 30 soys. with a BWeep of 3 soys. each added. Distance about li miles. Winner to be sold by auction immediately after the race. Any surplus to go the funds. Mr E. Perkins' b g Rustic, 40 soys., aged, list 51b (Thorpe) 1 Mr E. D. Halstead's b g Gameboy, 40 vs -> aged, list 51b (Munn) 2 This race admits of little description. Rustic had it all his own way and won in a canter. Gameboy refused from the first, * midst the jeers of the spectators. UNFORTUNATE ACCIDENT. •Selling Hurdle Race, of 20 soys., added to a Bweep of 2 soys. each. Distance, \\ 1 miles, over six flights of hurdles.
