AYLESBURY STEEPLE CHASE.
This race came off on Tuesday. The race was for a sweep-
stakes of two sovereigns each, with 151. added. The horses
were,the property of persons residing within ten miles of Ayles-
bury, The rules obliged the owners to have riders also re-
siding -within the same distance of the town. The second
horse received 5/. of the Stakes; each carried twelve stone.
The umpires, Messrs. Leper and Harding, chose a piece 'of
ground, between three and four miles, over a fair hunting
country. They started from Long Meadow, near Bishopstone,
and came in in a field near the turnpike-road leading from
Aylesbury to Thame. A great concourse of lookers-on at-
tended ; crowds of horsemen and pedestrians evincing their
interest in the sport of the' day. There were seven horses
started, viz., Mr. Bird's bn. horse Springer, rode by Mr.
Smith ; Mr. E. Bennett's black mare Patience, rode by
owner ; Mr. H. Smith's brown mare Saccharina, rode by
Holdham ; Mr. Seymour's brown chesnut mare by Carbonaro,
rode by Mr. Perrin; Mr. Eele's brown mare Conservative,
rode by owner; Mr. Carrington's bay horse Giraffe, rode by
owner; and Mr. Capel's chesnut mare rode by Colby. After
weighing, the signal for starting was given, when Mr. Sey-
mour's mare took the lead, followed by Conservative. There
Was some excellent riding, but on reachirig the brook several
of the riders got thrown. Perrin, the winner, was thrown
three times, but he came in at an easy pace, followed by Con-
servative and Patience; the rest were not placed. The fenc-
ing was done in a sportsmanlike manner. On returning from
the field of action the riders as well as their steeds presented
a most ludicrous sight, for none of them appeared to have
cleared the brook; and, the day being cold, the water no
doubt cast a damp on their spirits. After the company re-
turned from the chase, a large company of sportsmen and
tradesmen of Aylesbury dined at the George Hotel. The
chair was most ably filled by Mr. Churchill, under whose able
superintendence the wine-cup and the song went round among
the lovers of the chase, &c.
