SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

WORCESTER AUTUMN RACES—WEDNESDAY.
The inundated portions of the course showed little im-
provement upon the opening day, and the competitors in
the hurdle races and steeplechases hal to gallop through
water rea3bing to their knees. The meeting, however, has
been a highly successful one, the committee having added
considerably to their "fund" by the sales of winners.
Large fields, as will be observed from the following return,
were the order of the day, and the majority of the events
placed a balance in favour of the bookmakers. The various
races produced excellent contests, the Grand National
Steeplechase exciting deep interest until within a quarter
of a mile from the finish, when Mr. Ten Broeck's flat-
racing cast-off Reporter (who made his successful debut at
Lincoln a fortnight ago) came away from the heavily-
weighted Medora, and defeated her by 10 lengths. The
following are full details of the day's sport :

The half-dczen were started at the first attempt punc-
tually at the hour (three o'clock) for the race to be run.
Worcester led over the first flight of hurdles, followed by
Reporter, and Socks close together, Yaller Gal being next,
Medora fifth, and Freshman last. There was no variation
over the succeeding two flights of hurdles, after clearing
which Madera and Socks dropped into the rear, leaving Re-
porter in attendance upon Worcester, Yaller Gal still third,
and Freshman fourth, and in this order they repassed the
stand, when Medora again took the fourth place, but was
headed at the top turn by Socks. Upon entering the
meadows Worcester shied at the sheet of water through
which they had to gallop, and in an instsnt dropped to the
rear, the running being taken up by Socks, who, blundering
at the second jump in the meadows, soon joined Worcester
in the rear ; Medora then acted as pioneer, followed by
Reporter, Yaller Gal, and Freshman in the order named,
Worcester and Socks following some distance behind the
first quartette. With the exception of Yaller Gal giving
place to Freshman no alteration occurred with the leaders
until rounding the bottom turn, where Reporter assumed
the lead, but approaching the artificial brook in front of the
stand, Medora again went to the front, the pair rising at
the leap together; but Medora being nearly down in the
jump, gave Reporter an advantage; Yaller Gal followed
over the artificial brook third, Worcester, who had made
up his ground, being fourth, Freshman fifth, and Socks
last ; Reporter maintained the lead through the water pre-
ceding the entrance to the meadows, passing through
which Medora again faltered and dropped into the fourth
place, but recovered her former position in the meadows ;
Worcester rapidly approached the leading couple in the
succeeding quarter of a mile, and when close up
with them.
at the last hurdle, fell, leaving the finish with Reporterte
and Medora, and the former increasing his lead from
h
distance won by ten lengths ; a similar distance separated
the second and third; Freshman and Socks trotted to the
post, and Worcester, whose jockey was not hurt, was
stopped by the crowd.
