Betting-6 to 4 agst Longford, 4to 1 each agst Nabob
and Tupsley, and 5 to 1 agst Glen Area.
As soon as they got upon their legs the running was
taken up by My Mary, who, with Nutcracker, Glen
Aros, and Yellow Dwarf, appeared some two or three
lengths in advance of their followers, to the flight
of hurdles in front of the stand, which they all got over
safely. On reaching the thorn fence beyond Glen Aros,
who appeared to run unkindly, refused and fell, leaving
his rider on his back on the top of the fence, but who was
soon after remounted, and following his horses; but, blun-
dering at the next obstruction, he was walked back to the
enclosure. The leading horses passed over the small en-
closed garden-grounds in close company, but in gong up the
barrack hill to the turning flag My Mary increased her ad-
vantage, and approached the water course (or drain) in the
hollow some lengths in flout of Tupsle3. Major Wombwell
breaking his stirrup leather on landing, both mare and
rider came to the ground , but she was speedily remounted
and following in the wake of Nabob. Then came Glen
Aros, who refused and ran round, which caused Nutcracker,
who was following at his heels, to blunder at it, and fall-
ing on his head, rolled over and broke his neck, his rider
fortunately escaping without injury. The favourite and
Yellow Dwarf, who appeared outpaced, brought up the
rear, and got well over, but a long way in the rear of the
leaders. Passing in the rear of the stand, the race was left
with Tupsley, who held a long lead, which he kept to the
water jump, which he cleared half a dozen lengths in ad-
vance of Nabob, whose rider, thinking they finished, came
with a rush and reached Tupaley's quarters, but being
called to he immediately set his horse going again, and fol-
lowed in the rear of the two leaders to the fence in the rear
of the barn, where she was done with, leaving the race with
Tupsley and Nabob, the latter waiting upon the leader un-
til they crossed the water jump, when he went up in a stride
or two after landing and won an excellent race by two
lengths. My Mary and Longford were pulled up descend-
ing the hill brook, and walked home. The others were
stopped a long way from the stand.

Match, 100 soya.

- - -- -

Stays made play over the first five fences, closely followed
by Cannon Ball, without a mistake, but at the obstruction
beyond Stays fell and unshipped her rider, who was speedily
up epin, and shortly after headed Cannon Ball, and came
on with the lead to the fence, where she came to grief on
the first round, which allowed Cannon Ball to go on at his
leisure and win by 40 lengths.

The Windsor Open Handicap Steeplechase of 100 sous,
added to a sweepstakes of 10 sous each, 2 ft ; winners

The betting opened at 7 to 4 agst Deceiver, 3 to 1 agst

and closed at 2 to 1 agst The Dane, 2 to 1 eget Deceiver, 3
to 1 agst Yallai Gal, 4 to 1 agst Brownie, and b to 1 agst
Johnny.
King Tom made play with The Hero, Yaller Gal, and
The Dane in close attendance ; the others, headed by De-
ceiver, bringing up the rear, in which position they remained
until they passed in the rear of the stand, when Deceiver
ran past his horses and joined King Tom, fo!lowed by The
Dane, Yaller Gal, and The Hero, in which posi ion they
cleared the brook, with the exception of the latter, who
could not be got over, Light Of Other Days and Brownie
bringng up the rear. As they proceeded over the Barrack
hill, the leading horses got upon closer terms, King Tom
holding a slight lead, with Deceiver going on second, Yeller
Gal third, with Light of Other Days lying up, the others
dropping a long way astern. On passing the houses in Os-
born-road, Johnny ran into the front rank, and for a few
strides raced with King Tom, who shortly after gave way
to Deceiver, who came on with Light of Other Days and
Yeller Gal in close company, the three taking their fences
in clever style, to the lower fence behind the stand, which
Yeller Gal cleared slightly in advance of her followers and
came down to the brook apparently full of running, Light of
Other Days following, with Land's horse at his girths, and
Xing Tout in their rear, They all got eafely over and tinkled

On the flag being lowered Xanthus jumped round, and
was left at the post ; Kitty Skittles, in company with Quick-
silver, were the first away, followed by Gladiator, Alroy,
Orkousta, and Mary Stuart in the order we have given them.
On reaching the first fence Quicksilver ran round, which
drove Kitty Skittles on to the favourite, who also refused,
and subsequently repeated the refusal at every fence to the
lane, when Mr, Dixon, finding it useless to persevere, re-
turned home, leaving Alroy with a strong lead, followed by
Orkousta to the watercourse in the barrack-field, which the
former got safely over, but Orkousta refused, and had to be
put at it a second time, and then followed the leading horse
to the lane near the stand, jumping out of which he came to
the ground on his side, but without unhorsing his rider,
This mishap gave Orkousta a strong lead, which she held
to the end, and won in a canter by ten lengths.
