CROYDON STEEPLECHASES-WEDNESDAY.

Although the first day of this truly popular suburban
meeting met with a very large amount of patronage, the at-
tendance on the second day was far beyond the expectation
of the promoters. A dense mass of holiday-seekers lined the
course, and many of the trees in the lino of country taken
by the " fields" were cccupied by these eager to enjoy the
spectacle. The inclosure and stand met with ample sup-
port, and the numerous fields which started for the different
events gave rise to considerable speculation. The first
vent, the S elling Handicap, brought eight to the post—
the favourite, however, suffered defeat, the winner turning
up in Little Dick—a most welcome surprise for the fielders.
Gorse Hawk again gave evidence of his improving form by
defeating a large field in the Stand Plato; and the event of
the day, the Metropolitan Handicap, for which 19 started,
was decided in favour of Spatchcock after a good race be-
tween the three placed. The backers at length had a turn
in the concluding race, which was won by the favourite,
Bravo. Subjoined are details of the running :
A Selling Handicap of 3 soya each, with 20 added ; the
winner to be sold for £4O. About two miles. 8 subs.
Mr Rickards,s Little Dick, aged, lOst 121 b .... (Owner) 1
Mr Taylor's Dubious, aged, 12st (J. Page) 2
Mr Chadwick's Redwing, aged, list 51b (Mr Edwards) 3
The following also ran ;—Stays, Remunerator, Alex-
andra, and Coreebus.
Betting—G to 4 agat Redwing, 100 to 30 agst Remune-
rator, 5 to 1 agat Little Dick.
Redwing made play, followed by Dubious, Stays, and
Alexandra, the latter of whom fell into the company of Re-
munerator, on arriving at the first fence. Redwing main-
tained the front position, followed by Coroebus filly, Little
Dick, Dubious, and Stays, each in turn being second during
the race. After going half the distance Stays, Remunerator,
and Alexandra were beaten off, pulled up, and returned to
the enclosure the contrary way to the rest. Three• quarters
of a mile from the finish Dubious, Little Dick, and the
Corcebus filly closed with Redwing, who was deprived of
the lead by Dubious almost immediately after the lot joined
issue, At the fence on the top of the hill, opposite to the
stand, the Coroebus filly blundered, and at the next fence
stumbled and threw her jockey, fortunately on the ploughed
land, and he was up again quickly, the horse being caught
at the bottom of the field. Afterwards Dubious went on
with a clear lead followed by Little Dick, in whose rear, a
dozen lengths off, came Redwing. Dubious maintained the
lead to the last jump, which Little Dick cleared first, and
coming away ascending the hill at the finish, won easily
by three lengths. Redwing, beaten 20 lengths from
Dubious, was the only other who passed the post,

The winner was bought in for 64 guineas.

The following also ran : Leonidas, Sir Bobby, Mistake,
The Don, Chronometer, Rescue, Contralto, Underwriter,
Lady Coburg, and Bud worth.
Betting-5 to 2 agst Leonidas, 5 to 1 agst Sir Bobby, 10
to 1 each agst Mistake, The Don, Lady Coburg, Under-
writer and Retento.
Gorse Hawk made play for a mile, when the running was
taken up by Sir Bobby, who passed the stand the second
time, with a clear lead of Gorse Hawk, next whom, all to-
gether, were Leonidas (who in a jump on the opposite side
of the course had stumbled on his head), Flying Spur and
Mistake, and in their rear followed the rest at long in-
tervals, whipped in by Lady Coburg, except Rescue, who
was stopped. Crossing the ploughed land, Gorse Hawk
joined Sir Bobby, the pair jumping the fence out of the
ridge and furrow side by side; but Sir Bobby again went on
with the running, the remainder close up, until within half
a mile from home,where Flying Spur took second place, but
stumbled, whereupon Gorse:Hawk and Sir Bobby ran head
and head to the fence at the bottom of the hill. There Sir
Bobby blundered, and Gorse Hawk came up with a clear
lead, but was joined at the last fence by Flying Spur, but
the latter, however, never reached her stable companion,
Gorse Hawk, who won by two lengths ; Retento trotted in
third, Sir Bobby was fourth, Leonidas and Underwriter,

next in pursuit, a long way from the leaders, the•lot being
whipped in by Jerry and Princess of Wales. Approaching
the stand in the second time, Flyfisher ran into third place,
but rising the hill gave way, and there The Rogue went to
the front, Meanwood and Balbnasloe occupying second
and third places, with Flyfisher, Portland, Sly Fox,
Morocco, and Spatchcock in close company following,
whilst Jerry and Princess of Wales were tailed off in the
first two miles. Upon entering the ploughed land a second
time, Morocc3 ran up to the leader, but after taking a
"feeler," again dropped into the sixth or seventh position,
and descending the hill on the opposite side of the course
to that of the stand Meanwood, at an improved pace, in-
creased his lead, and Flyfisher took second place. The
pace now told upon Creole, Dobbyn, The Rogue, Portland,
and Morceco, who throughout had occupied a prominent
position, but who half a mile from home were entirely out
of the race, and Meanwood at this point coming to grief
the lead was left with Flyfisher, next to whom were Sly Fox
and Spatchcock, nothing else. being near the trio, As they
swept round the turn at the bottom of the course Sly Fox
and Spatchcock gradually drew upon Flyfisher, whom the
pair caught at the last fence, which was charged at the same
moment by the three. Safely alighted, the three commenced
a resolute race, and though Spatchcock appeared to have
the worst of the struggle with Sly Fox a distance from
home, the latter, who is said to be in the same interest as
"the Cock," tried and was beaten by a head; two lengths
separated the second and third. Nothing else passed the
post whilst the judge remained in the box. The whole of the
French representatives, Le Vidama, Piggy Wiggy, and
Benedict fell, as did also Globule, Portland, and several
others, but wo are happy to state that none of the jockeys
met with serious injuries, nor were any of the horses hurt.
A Plate of 60 soya, weight for age, with certain penalties
and selling allowances. About three miles.

The following also ran :—TheDon, Corkscrew, and Tels-
combo.

Betting-5 to 4 agat Bravo, 5 tot agst The Don, 4to 1
agat Flying Spur.
The Don jumped off with the lead, but was soon deprived
of it by Brava. Telscombe fell in the ploughed land, and
the running was carried on by Bravo to the turn coming
down the hill, where the Don and Flying Spur passed him,
and the two raced to the judge's box together (thinking it
was the finish), and stopped their horses past the post,
which enabled Bravo again to take the lead, which he car-

ried on to tho end, and won by six lengths ; Corkscrew
stopped at the post the first time round, and exhibited
tetnpa by kicking violently. Only the twu placed passed
(fie, post._ t -
The winner was.bouitty Mr J. Reynolds for 100 gus.

Dubious, who won the :Selling 1-3teeplechase on Tuc,,day,
was offered for Bale by auction previous to the first race, and
was bought in for 51 guineas, being only an advance of one
guinea beyond the entered selling price.
