WORCESTER AUTUMN RACES.

We aro generally in extremes at Worcester. Either it is
hard going, or we are splashing through water up to the
fetlocks in mud. This year " the faithful city" has dropped
its bad character. and, with a clear and balmy atmosphere
and the ground in good order, the meeting has brought
together large fields and a very tolerable attendance. War-
der, pulling double all the way, carried off the Handicap
Sweepstakes, and landed the odds laid on him very easily.
For the hurdle race West-md, from Wadlow's stable, was
made a prodigious favourite, but, refusing at the first flight,
extinguished his chance and the hopes of his backers. Mo-
rocco, whom Nightingall was scarcely able to hold, took up
the running from this point, and after a race with Ross won
cleverly by a neck. An objection was raised by the owner
of Ross that the other horses had not jumped the re-
quired number of hurdles, but it was overruled. The
Nursery brought out, as it always does here, a good field
for the half-mile scamper, in which Leoville tqaandcred
her horses with the greatest ease. The Autumn Handicap
was thought a good thing for Prince Plausible, who with
the top weight of Sat 41b found he could not give 281 b
to Grosvenor when it came to the finish, Lord Wilton's
colt running very cleverly. The Severn Bank Steeple-
chase—with rather bad judgment, seeing the light was
waning, placed last on the card—had a field of a dorm,
the winner turning up, after less than the usual inci-
dents, in Acrobat, wbo made most of the Tanning, and
cantered in with only Meanwood n:tar him.
Handicap Sweepstakes of 5 sous each, with 25 added, for all
agts. Winners extra. About a mile, starting at tLe

Grand Stand. 12 subs.

Betting—Even on Warrior, 7 to 2 agat Vanquisher, 4 to
1 eget Norma, and 6 to 1 agat any other.
Warrior got away slightly in front, but was immediately
pulled back, and the running was taken up by Lothian's
King, closely followed by Vanquicher, Norma, Countersign,
and Warrior, in the order we have given them, to the river
side turn, where Vanquisher obtained a decided lead, Conn-
tsrsign at the same time runnirg wide, being left in their
roar. At the half-mile post Warrior joined his horses, the
three running together to the half-distance, where Grim-
ahaw brought the favourite to the front, and won easily by
three parts of a length. There were three lengths between
the second and third ; Lothian's King finished a bad fourth;
Countersign was beaten a long way.
The Hurdle Race, a handicap of 6 soya each, with 40 added.
Winners of £5O extra, Two miles, with six flights of

West-end, Little Lady, Little Dorrit, and Clementi.

Betting-5 to 4 agst West-end. 6to 1 each agat Morocco
and Douche, 7 to 1 agat Little Lady, 10 to agat any other.
Douche on the far side was the first away, closely attended
by Little Dick, Morocco, and Clementi to the first flight of
hurdles, which they cleared cleverly, but on Overton and
the favourite following they bolted to the left and were lett
a long way behind. On passing the stand Morocco, over-
pulling Nightingale, rushed to the front and cleared the
hurdles, slightly in advance of Clementi and Douche, who
were followed by Little Lady, Roes, Bowman, and Little
Dorrit, West-end, who followed, being a long way in their
rear. They ran thus to the mile-post, where Little Lady
headed Morocco, and came on with a decided lead, Douche
lying third, with Ross,Litt le Dick, and Bowman next to the
turn for home, where Morocco again came in the front, and,
with Ross and Bowman in close company, ran to the dis-
tance, where Bowman was beaten, leaving the two to finish
the race home, Mr Baker's nomination winning very cleverly
at last by a neck ; four lengths between the second and
third; Little Lady was fourth, Little Dick fifth, and Little
Dorrit sixth. Douche, Clementi, and Overton trotted some
distance in their rear, but did not pass the post. West-end
returned to the enclosure after his refusal. On returning to
scale Mr Lincolnomado an objection to the winner on the
ground of having gone the wrong course, and, after hear-
ing evidence thereon, the race was awarded to the owner of
Morocco.

of £5 each, for 2-yr-olds. The winner to pay 5 soya to-
wards expenses, and the second to save his stakes. Winners

the Wind and Vigilant, and 100 to 7 agst the Cannobie filly.
Upwards of half an hour was lost at the post in consequence
of the fractiousness of Purity, resolutely refusing to face
the flag. When the flag was lowered they got away nearly in
a line, Leoville, lying in the centre, having a slight load of
Vision, Bonny Lass, Cedric, and Lucy Long, the others,
headed by the Cannobie filly, Wings of the Wind, Love
Letter, and Guildhall, lying close in their rear. On their
fairly entering the straight Leoville drew away, closely at-
tended by Cedric, Vision, Mr Baker's filly, and Lucy Long
—but on reaching the distance the Cannobie filly came out,
but failed to reach the leader, who won very easily by three
quarters of a length—a length between second and third,
and a head between the third and fourth. II Re Galatetuo-
mo fifth, Vigilant sixth,and Wings of the Wind next. The
others were pulling up as they came past, the last of which
were Robert Macaire and Sweetness.

headed by Manchester, who was followed by Rosobud,Wel-
beck, the favourite, and Cadiz—then came Cirosvener,Bird-
lime, and Alpheus in close order to the waterside turn,
where Prince Plausible ran past his horses and came on in
attendance upon the leader to the three quarters of a mile
post, where the pair were joined by Grosvenor, the three
running in close company into the straight,where the latter
obtained a slight advantage, which he retained to tho end,
and won very cleverly by a length—there were three

lowed by May Day, Whinstone, Berkeley Hunt, and
Meanwood, to the fence into the meadows, which tho leaders
got safely over, with the exception of Whinstone, who re.
fused, and was left in the roar. Acrobat, with May Day
and Berkeley Hunt in attendance, drew away as they pro-
ceeded over the enclosures, and as they entered the course
the loader came on with a long lead, which he held to the
hurdles at the distance, which he cleared about a length be-
fore May Day, who fell on landing, and Berkeley Hunt, who
