ELLEROW SPLLNG nmertiva.—THDESDAY.
Rating in the metropolitan district was inaugurated to-
day at Harrow, when a capital day's sport was brought to
Leine in the presence of an immense number of people.
Following immediately in the wake of Linooln, and club-
Mg only with • remote steeplechase fixture, it was not
surprising that • programme oompeeed of Oat racing and
steeplechases should attract a large attendance. The
abolition of the " gate-money" had a lot to do with the
monster muster of the outside public. Bookmakers were well
represented, and as the fiats were numerous, and backers
in high glee with their Lincoln victories, speculation
was animated. .!ix races were decided in the interval
between one o'clock and half-past four. Tottle followed
up her Ltirmloghain succor by winning the Priory Steeple-
chase, for which she was made favourite, Tom Coke alone
of her opponents being near her at the finish, but she won
rather easily. The Handicap nate, for all ages, produced
the largest field of the day, but the finish was not near so
interesting as that for Vat Selling Stakes, which Primula
won by • head only from Gentle Cale and Vicious who
ran a dead heat for second place. Details are appended :
