LIVERPOOL AUTUMN MEETING.-WEDNESDAY,

There was not much of importance on to-day's card with
the exception of the Sefton Handicap end the Liverpool

Nui Eery.

The hurdle race, with which yesterday's proceedings
commenced, was only notable for the discomfiture of Lord
Uxbridge's warm favourite Marble Hill, who, though pull-
ing double all the way, seemed unable to get through his
horses at the distance, and was out of it then and there.
The Sefton, contrary to expectation, dwindled down from
34 coloured to a miserable quartet of very indifferent per-
formers, Welbeck being considered goed enough to brat
his three opponents, which ho did with ridiculous ease.
Usher having carried off the Selling Plate, and been
bought in by his aoble owner for about, wo should think,
the bOth time, a field of nine only ware telegraphed for the
Nurser}, so it will be seen that the principal events showed
a falling off from former years. Lion, the winner of the
Knowsley yesterday, won like a racehorse to-day, carrying
Sat 4113, and proved himself a first-rate enimal. The attend-
ance was somewhat more numerous to-day, and the
weather favourable.

Morocco, with a clear lead, made play, followed by Stan-
ton and Bowman, two or three lengths in whose rear came
West End, the favourite, Ross, and Wild Duck, in the order
we have given them, and in which way they ran pest the
stand. Rounding the stable turn, Stanton got upon closer
terms; Bowman, West End, and Marble Hill following
next to the canal bridge turn, where Morocco gave way,
and at the T.Y.C. post he was beaten, and gave way to
Stanton, who was joined as they entered the straight by
West End, Bowman, and Marble Hill, who cleared the
hurdles together; but on reaching the distance the favou-
rite was beaten, and dropped back; Bowman at the same
time took up the running over the next flight, but was
caught half way up by Stanton on the inside and West End
on the right, the three from this point running locked toge-
ther to the end, and finishing a fine race, West End, who
got up in the list stride, winning by a head, Bowmen de-
feating Stanton by a neck for second; Ross finished fourth
upon sufferance, Marble MU fifth, Morocco and Wild
Duck did not pass the post.

running some distance, they were headed by Birdfinder
next the rails, close up with whom were Gipsy Girl, Prac-
titioner, and Kapunda. These positions were retained to
the distance, where Saccharometer, in company with Prac-
titioner, headel again, drew towards the post, but as they
neared the stand Grimshaw called upon the favourite,
who quitted his horses without an effort, and won in a
canter by a couple of lengths ; a length between the second
and third, Practitioner defeating Kapunda by two lengths

Edinburgh cut out the work at a strong pace, having a
slight lead of Cedric, who was closely followed by Lion and
Anonyma to the distance,where Cedric headed the favourite,
and came on with a slight lead, but half way up he was
again passed by Edinburgh, who was caught opposite the
stand by Lion, who won a fine race by a length ; a like dis-

PRESTON.—This week a slight change for the
better has taken place at Preston. The trade report
issued yesterday shows that 9,497 operatives are working
full time, 592 five days per week. 1,954 four, 4,027 three,
631 two, and that 10,976 are entirely unemployed. The
number of mills closed is 29. Last week, 11,314 opera
tives were out of work, and 30 mills were closed. • Yes-
terdry, at the meeting of the Board of Guardians, it was I
reported that in the union of Preston this week there are
3,078 cases, comprising 7,779 persons, who have been
relieved, at a cost of £lBO 6s 61d, As compared with
last week, these figures show an increase of 11 cases, 8
persons, and £2 16s 31d in the expenditure. This is
the smallest increase which has taken place for several
weeks. The Guardians have in their service 652 able-
bodied men, or 51 fewer than last week. Complaints are
still made about the idleness of several of the parish
labourers. In the different workhouses of the union there
are 1,121 inmates. The Preston Relief Com.nittee, at their
meeting on Monday night, resolved not to re-open the sew
ing schools. Tho committee have now on their books
3,582 cases, comprising 9,562 persons. Inc:ease, as com-
pared with last week; cases, 23; persons, 120.
THE EXTRAORDINARY CLAIM TO PROPERTY AT
WIGAN.--The quiet possession of the Manor House,
Scholar, Wigan, having apparently been assured for the
present to the claimants from Durham, by the recent deci-
sion of the borough magistiates, the two men,Horrocks and
Roe, have begun to take steps to obtain a hold upon the
surrounding property. Behind the Manor House are a
large number of cottages, none of the tenants of which have
paid a farthing rent to the executors of Mr. Heaton, who
have hitherto been considered the owners, since the seizure
of the house by the new claimants. But this is not all, as
notices have ken served upon the tenants of several landed
proprietors in the neighbourhood,—Mr Lamb, Mr Danson,
and Mr Foreman,—warning them to pay rent only to nor-
rocks. Two bailiffs yesterday entered the house of a person
named Bernard, tenant to Mr Foreman, in Schofield-lane ' •
but they were ejected by force. A warrant was, however,
obtained against the tenant Bernard, for assaulting the
bailiff in the execution of his duty. Another step the claim-
ants have taken is likely to prove a far nom.° serious one.
In the street just mentioned, Schofield-lane, is a sand pit
belonging to the executors of the late Roger Anderton,and
this, which is alleged to be part of the property belonging
to Horrocks, has now been forcibly taken possession of by
a party of men acting under the directions of the two
claimants. There was only one man at the place at the
time, so that there was not much difficulty about the seizure.
A bar was then placed across the entrance, and several pur-
chasers were bupplied with Sand by Roe, who also received
the money.
