Of the rank outsiders, a plodding old chaser named Johnny Uongtail (aged, lOsfc)' found moat friends; indeed, our party luckily averted disaster by accepting tha nice, odds, of 7 tol against him for a place. At the s'.E_rt the wagering on -"the Great National was 9 to 2 Spahi, 7 to 1 Roque fort. 100 to. 14 Savoyard, 10. to 1 each Magpie, and Frigate, 100 to 7 each Bellona,Old Joe, and Too.Good, 20 to 1 Chancellor, Game cock, and Sinbad,33 to 1 Spectrum, 40 to 1 Ballot Box and Johnny .Longtail, and 100 to 1 Hunter and Chancery. The Clerk of the Weather, by way of atoning for- the. generally deplorable! character of the day, allowed the sun tq shine for a moment, as the sixteen runners paraded, and then (after a single false start) the field streamed away into the country, Savoyard and Gamecock (who were even tually to finish first and second) leading the way. Ihe'fifgt to come to grief was Bellona, who fell at .hd esoond fence. Having a specially good pair of passes, I was enabled to impart the agreeable news of the disaster to a large contingent of the mare's military backers alongside us. Their language, I regret to say, Was altogether too expressive to quote. Ballot BoX came down simul taneously, without anyone earing much, but when at the next fence (a comparatively email one) the favourite overjumped and fell, a slioiit went up from the ring that could be heard "at CroStoth. The rest of the field negotiated both Valentine's and Becher's Brooks without • disaster, and Hunter and Old Joe led the way on to the racecourse, again followed by Chancellor, Magpie and GailiecOclt, with Roquefort and Savoyard nicely placed. Hunter fell at tho water-jump opposite the stand, but all the others got over safely, and a beautiful sight iildeed it was to see four or five of them take this formidable leap together. , Chancellor led the way into the country the second time with Savoyard, Magpie, Roquefort, Johnny Longtail next, and -M^ate and Old Joe last. Thus they ran to Becher's Brook, whore Magpie broke down and Chancellor and Johnny Longtail as sumed the lead.

The race now began to grow interesting, and the excitement on the Strand to touch fiery heat. At Valentine's Brook I could see Chancery, Old Joe, and Frigate had no chance and two fences later Spectrum col lapsed. At the bend for home Chancellor held a promising lead,whilst neither Savoy ard, Gamecock, Roquefort nor Johnny Long tail were out of the race. A moment later, however, Chancellor compounded, and Roquefort commenced to close in on Savoy ard and Gamecock. Backers of Mr Lees horse thought the time had now come to take heart of grace, and loud shouts of "Roquefort wins," " Roquefort walks in " rent the air. The old horse came on gal lantly, passed Gamecock, and was fast over hauling Savoyard, when the terrible weight told and rolling painfully he fell over the rails.

Savoyard's success now seemed a dead certainty. Approaching the stands, how ever, it began to be evident that the want of stamina which lost Baron Schroder the Grand National of 1886 would lose him this race also. Skelton rode with infinite judgment, but could not stall off the plod ding Gamecock's challenge, and the latter passing Savoyard opposite the stund won all out by three lengths. Haifa-dozen lengths off came Johnny Longtail, who just managed to outstay Chancellor for the third placo.° Too Good, as usual, jumped the country, and Spectrum ran well for three miles. Frigate has. grown slow, and neither Old Joe nor Magpie are class enough for a Grand National field. . ■' .

Spahi.maywin "the Liverpool" for Ire land yet. On Saturday, in the Queen's Plate, over two miles, she made a capital race of it at weight-for-age with Bird o' Freedom, a fact which indicates that she will.be formidable in steeplechases when she can jump better.»'> " On Saturday the Spring Cup resulted in a tragic surprise Hungarian, the hope of the powerful Peck party, -md Mr Osmond's Pizarro, having to play second and third fiddle to an unknown three-year old called Givendale, Our colonial party returned to London on Monday well satis fied with their outing. t . For the benefit of those who like particu lars of the steeplechase courses, I may men tion that the Grand National is run over four and a half miles of stiff hunting coun try, including two ploughed fields. There are twenty-nine jumps altogether, every one of which the winner must negotiate success fully.
