LIVERPOOL AUTUMN MEETING.—TVESDAY,
Seven events, five of which, we are sorry to say, were
over the T.Y.C., are quite enough at this time of year, and
the Hurdle Race commenced the proceedings at 12,30. I

'as rather a hollow vicl ory for Puss, the favourite, Morocco
and Stanton being soon out of it. Provisor landed the
rather heavy odds on him in the Handicap Plate easily, as
did Bessy in the Lancashire Stakes ; but the latter, not
having carried extra weight, was disqualified, and the stakes
awarded to Hartleap.
The Knowsley Nursery always furnishes a large field,
and 23 on this occasion faced the starter, who despatched
them with lees than the usual delay. The favourite, Lion
—a flee Windhound colt, who ran the Duko very closely
at York—had the best of it from the first ; though the

Imogene filly managed to get within a head of him at
the post, and would probably have passed him in another
stride or two.
The Flying lEndicap is the other feature of the first day,
and resulted this year in the defeat of a very warm f -
vourite, Coup d'Etat. who hal a little the warst of the
start, Leing soon out of it; and an outsider, Pupil, won
rat her cleverly.
The attendance was but moderate.

turn, where the former dropped back, leaving True Heart
in possession of the lead, which he retained to halfway in
the distance, where he was headed by Puss, who cleared
the last flight of hurdles in advance, and won very easily
by five lengths. West End, who headed True Heart oppo-
site the Stand, obtained the second honours by a length

favourite, with Purity and Viola next the rails, got away
slightly in advance, having Edinburgh, Cedric, and the
Imogene filly on their right, the others, who were headed
by Lozenge, Anonyma, and Teesdale lying in a body at
their heels. They ran thus to the distance, where Purity
and Viola attempted to get up on the inside, but were dis-
appointed by Lion hanging slightly to the left, and he was
immediately after joined by the Imogene filly, Cedric and
Lozenge wide on the right, the four finishing a fine race
home, the favourite holding his own to the end, and win-
ning cleverly by a length, Mr Rigby's filly defeating C‘d-
