AN IRISH STEOLECHASE.

LIMERICK RACES.
These sports commenced on Tuesday over the Newcastle
_,lourse, and brought in an immense crowd of spectators,
every county in the province being largely represented.
Excursion trains from every 'district communicating by
rail with the city poured in thousands at an early hour of
the day, while every other mode of conveyance was also
availed of. The number of vehicles ox the ground, filled
with, the aristocracy of the neiglniourhood, was unusually
large. The course_was admirably laid out, and a perma-
nent stand-house erected from which a perfect view was to
had.
,The first race was for
The Newcastle Plate (Handicap) of £7O, added to a
Sweepstakes of 5 sovs each. Two miles and a halt.
Flat Course.
The following ran :—Pitman, Nancy Hand, Castle-
hacket, Con Cregan, and Colleen Dhuv.
Nancy Hand led off beautifully; and maintained the lead
during the first half of the race. Castlehacket then closed
upon her, and Con Cregan began to gain upon both.
Henceforth the race was between Nancy Hand and Castle-
hacket, who contested it e!osely. Castlehacket, who was
ridden by Archer, came in first, Nancy Hand being a good
second, Con Cregan third, Pitman fourth, and Colleen
Dhuv fifth. The fencing was excellent, and the race was
pronounced one of the most interesting
and spiritedly, con-
tested that have taken place for, a tong time.
The Limerick Tradesmen's Plea of £2OO, added' to a
Sweepstakes of 6 sovs each. Four tulles. Steeplechase
Course. Weight for age; 4.1 r-olds, list; 5-yr-olds,
list 131 b; 6-yr-olds, and aged, l2st 41b.
This was the great event of the day andl,exited a large
amount of interest. The Itaispentered .were as follows,
being, with a few eiception4lll prize winners
Mr. Woolfe'a Sir Edward, Mr: Noble's Vesta, Mr. S.
Manserghii the COnk, Mr. Loughead's ICoebuck, Mi.. P.
Browne's Evergreen, Mr. O'Neale's Maggie,Capt. Nugent's
Anonyma (late Maid of Garteen), Mr. Furnell's Kenmare
Lass, Mr. Falknees Bendemere, Mr. R. Kinsella's Stout-
heart, Mr. Lloyd's Kate fisher, Mr. R. Ryan's Merrimac,
Mr. Ennis's Agnes, Mr, Inglis's Photograph, Mr. Dwyer's
Morning Star, Mr. O'Mesra's Palermo, Mr. Reeves's Vo-
teer, Mr. D. O'Connell's Biddy Early, Mr. D. Canny's
Fisherman, Mr. P. Russell's Glendinane, Capt. Leslie's De
Reuter (late Wizard), Capt. Machell's Grisi, Mr. Keyes's
Mountain Fox, Mr. J. H, Moore's Dove, Mr. Fraser's Ro-
mance.

The start, which took place exactly up to the time, was
the mast correct and bettatiful we have ever seen ; the field
appeared covered with the varied hues of the riders, as
they dashed forward, each in high spirits, many elated with
hope, a few with the apparent certainty of winning, all
with good feeling and in the best humour. The first fence
was taken without a balk, Vesta leading, keeping the lead
up the hill, and sustaining her position to the satisfaction
of her backers, until the rider (Capt. M'Creight) got a tre-
mendous fall, which incapacitated him from riding during
the remainder of the clay. At the fourth fence Glendinane
got a dreadful fall ; the rider (Mr. Russell) fell also, and
received, we regret to state, serious injuries, such as are be-
lieved to be dangerous. Glendinane's back was broken.
Bendemere fell, rolling over the rider (Mr. Falkner), who
sustained spinal injury to some extent ; he was conveyed to
the weighing room in an exhausted state, and was attended
by Dr. Calahan, of Nenagh. Palermo fell, and the rider
(Mr. Long) received slight injuries in the leg, from which
it is expected he will soon recover. Merrimac fell, and re-
ceived mortal injuries ; the
.rider (Mr. Hearty) escaped
without serious damage. Rorpaika also fell ; Anonyma
fell, and the rider (Mr. Thompson) was rescued from a
dangerous position by Mr. Shannon. These were all put
hors de combat, and as the others were coming home, in
the second round of the come, the favourite were narrowed
to seven, and these again were narrowed to four—the
running being between Grisi, Kate Fisher, Kenmare Lass,
and Photograph. The ex.)itement was never surpassed as
they cleared the water cut when it was impossible to decide
which was most likely to win, the favourites being Grisi
and Kate Fisher. Grisi, it was thought, should have come
in winner, were it not for s slight balk she sustained in the
early part of the race. __As it was the riders did their, ut-
most ; whip and spur were actively employed with desperate
effect between the last sirgle fence and the winning post,
when Kate Fisher came it some 1 ngths before Grisi, Ken-
mare Lass being very near, the three running home in ad-
mirable style, Kate Fish/r winning amid tremendous .ap-
plause, the owner, Mr. Lloyd, being a favourite with all
classes, and the rider, Bin Apjehn, having done his duty
well. The winner nets between £3OO and £4OO by this race.
The casualties by which the sport was marred are to be re-
gretted, but we trust that none of them will prove fatal to
the riders, though some or them have been very seriously
injured. To indicate the wonderful speed with which this
race was run, we may say •hac the entire time occupied by
the race was only 10 minutes and a quarter.
The third race, for the garryowen Plate of 40 sous, was
won by Mr. D. Meany's Miss May, beating Mr. Holmes's
Nun, second, Mr. Wynnes Lady Grey, third, and tliree
others.

The Military Stakes of 3 sous, with 30 added, was won
by Captain Treherne's Clateau Lafayette, beating Major
Bone's Pitman, second, Captain Machell's Isis, third, and
Captain Treherne's Tathe• Batt, fourth.
The Scramble Plate of £25 was won by Mr. Bouchier's
The Rambler, beating Katy Darling, Medora, and Brace-
let.
