which was undoubtedly owing to tho unsettled state of
the weather, and the comparatively little money invested
on the events to be decided.
The Greek, who last year cut up so execrably,
yesterday showed an evident improvement in form, as
he managed to beat Abdallah, at only a stone for the
two years, over the mile course in the Match for 200/.
The Beddington Stakes was booked a certainty by the
public for one of four ; 2 to 1 being taken about the
feather-weighted Tobolski, half a point more about
Michaelis:me Maid, 3 to 1 about Exact, and 5 to 1 Miss
Tennyson. Leaving out Exact, they came home in the
exact places they stood as favourites. As soon as they
hed settled to work after an indifferent start, Tobolski
took the lead, which he maintained throughout, winning,
after a fine race, with ❑othing to spare, by a short head.
Michaelmas Maid occupied the second place to the turn,
where she was temporarily displaced by Miss Tennyson;
recovering her lead, however, at the distance, she heat
Miss Tennyson by half a length for second place. The
rest, including Exact, and Little David, were beaten off.
Oa Wednesday, Allegro came with tremendous force
into the betting for the Epsom Autumn Handicap, rising
in a few hours from an outside price to 3to 1. Hobbie
Noble at the same time was in great force, and found
backers at a short price. These two displaced the pre-
vious favourites, Tested and Varmint; the former re-
tiring from threes to fives, and the lat'er from fours to
sixes, sevens, and, i❑ some instances, eights. The wie-
ner was, comparatively, but little thought of, and backed
but for a small sum. In the race the Varmint cut out
the work to the turn where be was beaten; old Dulcet
then took the first place, Candlewick and Allegro being
in close attendance o❑ him. This order was kept till
half way up the distance, whore Candlewick challenged
the antiquated son of Dulcimer, and, after a good race
in, beat him by half a length. Allegro lost the second
place by a brace of lengths, and Varmint was a bad
fourth. The remainder, including Hobbie Noble, were
beaten early.
Allegro came out afterwards and won the Bentinek
Plate very cleverly from Snarry, to whom ho conceded
seventeen pounds; Sister to Singapore being a good
third. The rest were beaten half-way up the distance.
Next week the racing fixtures dwindle down to three;
the Liverpool Autumn. on Tuesday and Wednesday;
Cowbridge Hunt, on Wednesday and Thursday; and
Northallerton, on Thursday and Friday. There is also
a little steeple-chase meeting at Edgewaro on Monday,
the principal race at which will, I presume, be carried
off by Mr. B. Land.
The acceptances for the various stakes at the Liver-
pool Meeting have not come to hand; therefore! shall
merely remark, in a general sort of way, that Caurire
at lOst 101 b, will not be a bad thing for the Champion
Hurdle Race; that Doubt and Colsterdale aro, by no
means, badly in for the Sefton Autumn Handicap; that
Captain Lane's couple, Ninnyhammer and Charley,
seem certain between them to take the Tyro Handicap,
Audubon being the only other animal of note in the
race; and that the top weights in the Steeple-chase
would seem to have the race perfectly safe amongst
them; Miss Mowbray being tolerably well in at lost
101 b; Abd-el-Kader, Vainhope, and Peter Simple also
figuring at the same weight. British Yeoman at list
41b is not in badly; but he always seemed to entertain
an invincible aversion to this course. I shall attempt to
indicate the winner as eoon as I have received the ac-
ceptances.
But little speculation has taken place, as yet, on any
of the races at Liverpool. 4 to 1 was offered on the
field for both the Sefton Handicap and Champion
Hurdle Race; long odds, however, against many for the
former race can be obtained. Only 2tol is offered on
the field for the Tyro Handicap; and nothing done what-
ever with respect to the Steeple-chase and Aintree
Stakes.
Warwick has put forth a very strong and well-filled
list of stakes for the decision on the 16th and 17th in-
stant, giving indications of being the best autumn meet-
ing we have had in that quarter since its establishment.
