WORCESTER AUTUMN RACES.
THIM&)AY.

The concluding day of this popular meeting was favoured
with delightfnl weather, which was a pleasing contrast to
that of the opening day. Although many persons left on
WednesiLy, the attend:nue nevertheless was good, the
people from the neighltourhood showing up in good num-
ra. The sport on the whole was very good, hut unfor-
tunately produced some squabbling " objections," which
seem more the rule than the exception in all races that
do not come under the category of " legitimate." The
objection against Sir William, who came in first for the
Sevens Lank Stakes, was decided, and the race awarded to
The Nun. Lord Westmorland acted for the stewards and
disqualified Sir William for not carrying a penalty for
winning the Warwick Cup. Lord Stamfonl's autumns with
Peporter for the Grand Annual Steeplechase was hailed
with applause. but this horse was also provokingly
objected to for having gone the wrong course, although both
he and Despatch appeared the only two that ran the
course. Another of these quibbles was a protest against
Milk Mahl, who won the Hunters' Purse, and here
on the ground of carrying insufficient weight ; which we
cannot understand, because the mare had a sea, half-breed,
and maiden allowance, and csrried a ah penalty for a pro.
fessional jockey. There war little or no betting on the
Liverpool Cup, Honesty backed at 100 to 7 being the only
transaction we came across. Subjoined are full details:

completely across the course, but Kenyon succeeded in
getting her straight without losing much ground. Anato-
mist. however, making the best use of the advantage be
gained, took a clear lead, Verity lying second, and the
Misfit colt last. At the distance Anatomist began to
compound, and the two joining him, a rattling finish
commenced, Risarll, by Wirt of determined riding, just
landing the Misfit colt a winner in the laat stride by •
bee!, the favourite being beaten • similar distance only
for second place. The winner was not told.

took up the running, followed by Oldminster and Carubroe,
Boutuaza and Delight bringingup the rearasthey lewd the
stand. Approaching the hundlesArth u r increased his lead, the
favonrite taking second place, but Stevens could barely get
him to rise at the gorse,' hurdles, which he knocked down,
jumping them in a very slovenly manner. They ran with
little variation to the water pump, which Arthur cleared
slightly in advance of Carnbroe, Delight and Bonmant,
Oldminater and Lady Blanche bringing up the rear side by
side. Omelette took up the running imniedistely afterwards,
and maintained the lead out of Pitcheroft, but at the
next fence Arthur again headed him, the others being
separated at wide Intervale. At the third fence from
Dome Arthur slipped and came down on his bores,
Cambroe coining in contact with him, getting much the
worst of the " cannon" as be came down on his side. This
enotretc laps enabled Arthur to take a lead of fifty yard, as
they came into the race course, and although Stevens
rode the favourite home, Arthur cantered in a winner by
twenty lengths. Delight finished third, a length in rear
of Cambroe, and twice that distance in advance of Old-
minster. The other two pulled up before reaching the
poet. The winner was bought in for 200 guineas.

Betting : 3 to 1 eget Reporter, 100 to 30 agst Tennyson,
7 to 1 each apt Ace of Tromp and Hippolyte, and 10 to 1
agst Daisy. When the word was given the favourite
took a slight lead of Sir William, Tennyson, Hip-
polyte, and Ace of Trumps, slightly in their
rear lying Cabin Boy and Despatch, Daisy bring-
ing up the rear. Approaching the first hurdles
Sir William headed the favourite, but after rounding the
Ham turn they gradually took closer order, and a sheet
would have covered them as they raced past the stand. At
the railway bend Despatch held a alight lead of Sir Wil-
liam, Tennyson and Cabin Boy in a cluster, Reporter now
lying off several lengths in rear as they ]jumped out of the
Pitchcroft. The first casualty occurred at the succeeding
fence, where Tennyson fell, and although remounted,
Stevens pulled him up when he found pursuit to be hope-
less. As they approached the fano fence Sir William took
p the running from Despatch, who had overpowered Mr.
Thomas, but having him in band, Mr. Studds' horse was
pulled back and went on in rear with Reporter. Sir
William, after leading into the racecourse, ran the wrong
course, all following bins, with the exception of Despatch
and Reporter, who, in consequence, came on together, and
cleared the water jump in grand style, side by side, at
least 100 yards in advance of Ace of Trumps, Cabin Hoy,
Hippolyte, and Daisy in a cluster, all of whom bad retraced
their steps when their jockeys discovered their error, but
Sir William was pulled up. Rounding the railway turn
Reporter drew sway from Despatch, Mr. Thomas stopping
his horse, having lost his stirrup, and having no mainland
over him. Approaching the Pitchcroft the race was
virtually over, as Reporter rather increased hie lead than
diminished it, but in the race course Cabin Boy and Ace of
Trumps were allowed to @lightly decrease the long gap be-
tween them and the favourite. At the distance Cabin Boy
gave way and Ace of Trumps made determined efforts to
overhaul Reporter, who however won in a canter, greeted
with lend cheers, by four lengths. Cabin Boy was a bad
third; Hippolyte, many lengths off, being fourth. Daisy was
pulled up a quarter of a mile from home. The winner was
objected to for going the wrong course, and the objection
remains in abeyance.

LINCOLN AUTUMN MEETING.—TauRsDAY.
Although the opening day of the above meeting clashed
with the concluding one at Worcester, and both laid claim
to the patronage of the .portmen of the midland counties,
Mr. Ford's excellent management induced a numerous
attendance, whilst Mr. Chaplin's hospitality at Illankncy
contributed to an extensive patronage of the leading
patrons of the turf. It was only to be expected that, con-
sidering the recent demand. made upon horseflesh, the
fields would be corunaratively small and the sport meagre.
Next autumn, however, the meeting will be of much more
importance, as it is intended to take advantage of an
earlier fixture. To-day the weather was fine, and light
items were decided in the course of the afternoon, which
it must be admitted was a stiffish programme for this time
of the year. Details of the different races are appended.

joined the leader, and coming away at the distance won
cleverly by half•a-length. A length separated the second

verance fifth, Eliza sixth, and Esmeralda last.
