LOUTII STEEPLE CIIACE.—FRIDAY.
This race took place at Hallington, within a mile of the
town. The line selected was from the corner of Withcall
Brackens. through a fine valley, across the Harncastle road,
to the left of the bar, into another dale as far as the London
road, then turning on the opposite side of the hill, recrossing
the turnpike, round the place of starting, and, finally, finishing
along the side of the hill, where the company was assembled,
witnessing the whole scene of action. The following horses
started :

Mr. W. Withworth's Bumpkin, aged Owner 1
Mr. Nicholson's Heathen, 4 yrs
Mr. Grantham's Madcap, aged •.. .... Mr. T. Grantham 0
Mr. F. Walker's Falcon, aged Owner 0
Mr. Burkill's Maid Marian, aged ...Mr. Evison 0

Mr. Thistlewood's Jim Crow, aged G. Skipworth 0
Mr. W. Loft's Redmantle, aged Owner 0
Mr. W. Walker's Lincoln, aged Mr. W. Bartholomew 0
They all went off gaily together, Jim Crow pulling violently
into the front rank, and falling over his first fence. Bumpkin
then came out as Pilot, followed closely by Maid Marian, the
others nearly abreast up to the _Bar. The order now changed
by the re-appearance of Jim Crow, with his rider remounted,
and apparently undiminished in his determination to have his
share in the sport. The rider of Maid Marian having mistaken
his line had forfeited his prominent situation and sacrificed
much ground. When the road was crossed some tremendous
fencing was experienced, and theextreme point rounded in the
following manner :—Maid Marian, Bumpkin, Heathen, and
the rest close up, with the exception of Redmantle, who had
fallen at a rasping fence, having his rider beneath him in a
very unenviable predicament. When re-crossing the turn-
pike the pace was brisk, the leading mare giving way to the
superior pretensions of Bumpkin, Heathen, Madcap, and
Falcon. They made beautiful running nearly together up to
the finish. Jim Crow amusing himself with a cold bath in the
brook, and thereby throwing away his chance of the race, and
Lincoln not being able to the pace, although he went through
his work stoutly and with ability. The last fence, which was
indeed a tickler, and excited general attention, being consi-
dered impracticable, was gallantly cleared nearly at the same
moment by the above four leading horses, and the finishing
struggle was most severe and well contested, Bumpkin winning
by only two lengths, and the other three so nearly together as
not to allow a decided second place to be awarded to either
horse.
