SPORTING 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 wore defeated in three instances. Tho state of the
ground was by no moans 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 =-
eluded an interesting day's sport at four o'clock.
