WORCESTER AUTUMN MEETING.

The second day of the meeting passed off succesafully,
the company being very numerous, the fields large, and
the racing good. The only sensation of the day was the
overthrow of Goojerat, who was booked a " certainty
for the Grand Stand Plate, and supported for a large sum
of money. The Severn Bank Stakes resulted in an objec-
tion against the winner, it being asserted that he was a
thoroughbred, and consequently liable to a penalty of
10Ib. over and above the 71b. extra be carried as a winner
—that is to say, 171 b. extra in all. The objection
will, in all probability, be decided upon by the stewards to-
morrow. In the course of the day there was some little
betting on the Liverpool Autumn Cup, the Peer and
Caithness coming in fur most support. Details are ap-
pended.

100 to 11 agat Sensation, K to 1 agst Sir William, and 10
to 1 each aget Ace of Trumps and Tally-bo. Immediately
after darting Ace of Trumps showed in advance of &mo-
tion and Meerschaum, these being followed by Walters-
town, Coverdale. and Tallyho in a cluster, the next divi-
sion consisting of Sir William, Northern Light, and Fleet-
wing, The Nun bringing up the rear. In this order they
cleared the hurdles opposite the stand, but at the gorged
fence Walterstown refused, and was not persevered with,
as he continued his vagaries at each succeeding obstacle.
Rounding the turn the field exhibited a long tail, Tally-ho
taking up the running, Meerschaum. Ace of Trumps, Sen-
sation, and Sir William following, The Nun still lying off.
The water jump was cleared without any casualty, and
Tally-ho maintained his lead until jumping into the race-
course, where Sir William took up the running, Tally-ho,
Ace of Trumps, Northern Light, Meerschaum, awl The
Nun following, Sensation being last. At the gorred hur-
dles Northern Light swerved toward, the river, unseating
Lord Charles Kerr, who rolled down the hank and narrowly
escaped a " ducking." In the straight The Nun drew up
to Sir William, and momentarily looked dangerous, but
dying away, Mr. Ivena's borne won very cleverly by •
length and a half. Tally.lio was beaten a similar distance
for second place, Coverdale cantering in fourth, Ace of
Trumps fifth, Meerschaum sixth, and Sensation seventh.
Captain Harkin' very properly pulled up Fleetwing on
the far side when he found it was nettled to persevere.
The rider of The Nun boat his stirrup three-quarters of a
stile from home. The winner wee objected to for not
carrying a penalty, it being alleged that he was a thorough.
bred. The stewards will consider the ease to-morrow.
