Betting --8 to 1 agst Rochester, 4 to 1 agst Ironsides, 6 to
1 agst Doubloon, 7 to 1 agst Gorsehawk, 8 to 1 agst Pallas
Laos, and 10 to 1 agst Polly Hopkins. The lot got away in
a cluster, and passing the Stand Ironsides led the way, but
turning out of the straight was headed by Rochester, who
went on closely followed by Mr. Land's horse, Eheu being
third, with Shuttlecock, Polly Hopkins, Gorsehawk, and
Serious Case following at the head of the others. After
going about half a mile Eheu dropped back amongst the
rear division, and little change took place in the positions
when arriving at the Stand the second time, Rochester
still being in command, Ironsides, Serious Case, and
Shuttlecock in hot pursuit. Next succeeded Pallas Lass,
Polly Hopkins, Doubloon, The Rogue, and Jack, the
others being thus early out of the race. On the far
side The Rogue, when toiling on in the rear, fell at a
fence, and about three quarters of a mile from
home Shuttlecock was beaten and passed by Doubloon,
who who went up to Ironsides and Rochester. About three
fences from the winning field Ironsides gave way, leaving
Doubloon in close attendance on Rochester, and the pair
raced nearly side by side to the last fence, from which
point Rochester drew away and won in a canter by six
lengths. Doubloon who was eased was passed by Ironsides
and Gorsehawk, who were second and third ; the latter
being four lengths in the rear of Mr. Land's horse ; Jack
was fourth; Doubloon next; Serious Case trotted in ; and
Pallas Lass and Shuttlecock walked in with the crowd.

slipped down and got the collar entangled about his throat
so as to produce suffocation,

HARROW RACES AND STEEPLECHASES.
THURSDAY.
A splendid autumnal morning caused matters to assume
a very different aspect at Harrow on the second day of the
meeting. In place of the heavy rain of the previous day
the sun shone brilliantly, and as might reasonably be ex-
pected the company was greatly in excess of the opening
day. The racing was good throughout the afternoon, and
the meeting terminated without any of those unseemly
" wrangles" which so frequently disgust the frequenter of
the minor gatherings near the metropolis.

and 10 to 1 agst any other. After a considerable delay at
the post Usher got off iu front, closely attended by Rein-
deer and Confusion, with Lady Abbess on the near side,
heading the others to the distance, where Reindeer, in the
centre of the course, drew up to Usher, whom he headed
half-way on the hill, and won cleverly by a neck ; half a
length separated the second and third; and a head the
third and fourth ; Mr. White's unnamed colt was fifth ;
Tilt sixth ; and Frolic last, beaten off.

7to 1 each agst Merry Lass, Viper, and Varnish, and 10

and refusing to join his horses, caused a considerable
delay. Upon the flag falling Novice and the Bianca colt
showed slightly in front, followed by Saxon- Beauty and
Viper close up, with whom was Varnish. After going
about a hundred yards Novice retired from the 'front, and
Saxon Beauty took up the running with Viper and Var-

gave way, and Varnish, though challenged by Viper,
retained his advantage to the end, winning cleverly by
a neck ; half a length separated the second and third ;
Saxon Beauty was fourth ; Pearl fifth, and Master Shutt
sixth ; Irish Jig being last. Merry Lass put her foot in
a gap and fell after going about 200 yards, Gray sus-
taining a severe shaking. The winner was bought in for

bine filly, Geraldine, and Thais, the others following in
good order. After going about 200 yards Confusion disap-
peared from the front, and the Hopbine filly carried on the
