LEAMINGTON AND WARWICK HUNT MEETING.

TUESDAY.
From Lincoln Spring in February to Warwick Hunt in

the closing days of November is, it will be acknowledged, a
tolerably long racing year. Our forefathers would have

stared at the modern Calendar that gives such little rest
to the followers of the Turf. But we have altered all that,

and for good or evil these late races are established facts.
The Tally-Ho Stakes, won by the fit and good-looking
Tiger, did not pass off without the customary objection,
and Monitress, a good outsider for the ring, carried off the
Nursery Handicap very cleverly. The Donnington Handi-
cap produced a good race at the finish between the favou-
rite, Attache, and Skirmish, the latter having a little the
the best of it from the stand, and winning by a short head.
The Autumn Welter Cup was a good thing for Pearl
Diver, who, rather preferring dirt, found no difficulty in
disposing of his horses in the very heavy ground on the
other side of the course. The hurdle race, run nearly in
the dark, was landed in hollow style by Benazet.
The weather was delightfully fine, though the ground
was anything but good going. The attendance was rather
scanty. Following the prevailing fashion, Mr. Merry has
determined on adding a fourth day (Friday) to his pro-
gramme.
The Welter Handicap of 5 sous each, 3 ft, for 3-yr-olds
anti upwards, to be ridden by gentlemen. Professionals
extra. Three-quarters of a mile. 8 subs.'

My Cob was the first away, and with King Arthur, Ar-
kansas, the favourite, and Plover lying up, came on with
the running into the straight, where Arkansas headed My
Cob and led to the distance, when Plover came upon their
right, and obtaining a clear lead to the enclosure won in a
canter by a length anda half; a length separated the second
and third; Balornock, who ran past the pulling up horses,
finished a bad fourth ; King Arthur was fifth, and My

Black Swan and Cleopatra to the mile post. Here Tiger,
in company with Charley, headed Idle Girl, followed in a
few strides further by Black Swan, the four running in
close company into the Star close, where the latter was
beaten and dropped into the rear. As they entered the
straight the favourite was out of it, leaving the issue with
the two, who came on locked together to the end, Tiger
winning easily at last by a length, a bad third. Idle Girl
was fourth, Maid of Lorn fifth, and Cleopatra next-
Diligence, who slipped up in taking her preliminary canter
and unhorsed her rider, was last.
After the race an objection was made to the winner, on
the ground of being thoroughbred, and not carrying his
correct weight.
