SPOR7ING INTELLIGENCE.

LIVERPOOL AUTUMN MEETING.—THURSDAY.
The admirers of a steeplechase were gratified with•a
lovely day for their amusement, and mustered pretty
thickly on the ground after two o'clock, before which hour
the attendance was not more numerous than on Wednes-
day. Four races preceded the great event, and the favou-
rites were defeated in three instances. The state of the
ground was by no means ill-adapted to the jumping busi-
ness ; although a sharp frost had rendered it hard in the
earlier part of the morning, the sun had thawed it so com-
pletely before the time of starting arrived that there was
no likelihood of a horse slipping on alighting from a leap.
In due course six numbers appeared on the telegraph, and
after the Leicestershire nag had been Lacked against the
field at even betting, Romeo came with such force into
the market that the ci-devant favourite receded to 2 to 1,
laid freely against him. Every animal in the race had
friends, but the famous English hunter afforded to the
public another proof of what a good horse can do by win-
ning most cleverly. Eight ran for the last race, and can-
eluded an interesting day's sport at four o'clock.

they ran in close company to the first fence, which Romeo
and Anatis cleared side by side, having Bridegroom and
Piff Paff at their quarters, Mary Anne and Tumbler fol-
lowing, the last named jumping the obstructions in a very
slovenly manner, The water jump in front of the stand
was cleared by Anatis a length in advance of Romeo, after
whom came Bridegroom, Piff Paff, Mary Anne, and Tum-
bler in the order we have given them, and in which order
they ran to the fence out of the course, where Piff Paff went
to the front, and with Romeo, Bridegroom, and Anatis in
close attendance entered the ench sures beyond,whereßomeo
went to the fore, but, refusing the cut fence into the ploughed
land, he was left in the rear, Piff Paff once again going on
in advance, having Bridegroom and Mary Anne as his im-
mediate followere,the latter taking the headland to the right,
by which she secured sound going, her followers crossing
the centre. On retching Becher's-Brook, which the lot
