SPORTING tN TELLIGENCE.
EPSOM STEEPLECHASES Fu•DAY.
The acceptances for the two Free Handicaps and the en-
tries for the Scramble not having been completed until late
on Tuesday evening, the public were kept in the dark as to
the quality of the sport they were to expect until the appear-
ance of the programme in our last impression. It proved a
moderate one, and but for the fineness of the weather would,
we suspect, have scarcely paid for the " getting up."
With the weather in its favour, however, it drew a large
attendance, and, as nearly all the horses engaged went to
the post, speculation was brisk, and the sport, deficient as it
was in interest, left little to complain of. We subjoin a
return :
A Free Handicap Hurdle Race of 5 soya, each,:with'3o added,
over six flights of hurdles. Twice round, about two
miles. (6 Subs.)

and won by a length. Sir Alexander and Perjury were
pulled up two distances from home. Combatant fell and
broke his leg.
The Great Metropolitan Steeplechase of 10 soya. each, with
100 added, the second to save his stake, and the winner to
pay 20 soya. towards expenses. Winners after the declara-
tion of the weights to carry 61b extra. About four miles.

the water jump the second time round; where he was joined
by the Drag, e,ho, at the brow of the hill, took the lead,
followed by Oily Gammon and Mary Day. A fine race
home between the three, terminated in favour of The
Drag by n length, Oily Gammon beating Maria Day by
half a length.
