SPORTING INTELLIGENCE,

CHESTER RACES-TUESDAY.

Chester keeps on the even tenour of its way, if not in quite
so brilliant a fashion as in the days that witnessed the
triumphs of Alice Hawthorn, Cruiskeen, St. Lawrence, and
other departed great ones, yet still with no apparent dimi-
nution in the crowds of gentle and simple who at race-time
blockade its streets, throng its arcades, and make the Roodee
on the Cup-day—especially if that day be a fine one—one
of those open air spectacles such as no other country can
show. That the meeting has lost some of its old renown
cannot be gainsaid, but this year there are signs of a re-
newal of its former glories, and Mr. Topham may have to
congratulate himself on a fresh lease of popularity.
The morning was ushered in by a steady downpour of
rain, such as has not gladdened agricultural hearts for some
little time. It had, of course, a determined effect on the
attendance, though the stands were well filled. The Grimier
cut down his field in the Grosvenor Stakes in the hollowest
style, the Tartar, the trial horse of the much-vaunted favou-
rite for the Cup, making a very sorry figure. There was
an exciting struggle in the Mostyn Stakes between the
three placed by the judge, Mr. Saxon's filly, Miss Harriette,
winning by a neck.
Again were the Marquis of Hastings's colours forward in
the Wynnstay Handicap on Pantaloon, which had the effect
of damaging Helen's position for the Cup, for which Ack-
worth became first favourite after the race. Hesper, great
horse as he is at half a mile, found the sticky ground diffi-
cult to act upon, in the Eden Plate, and compounded at the
distance, allowing the favourite, Light, to win easily.
The other events must speakfor themselves. Speculation
on the Cup underwent some changes—Ackworth being a
decided favourite, Victorious and La Toucques going back
some points. The scratching of Balham was announced at
330.

The ground is very heavy.
The Grosvenor Stakes of 10 sovs each, h ft, with 50 added
for 3-yr-olds and upwards. Weight for age. Winners
extra. Grosvenor Course. 7 subs.
Marquis of Hastings's The Grinder, 3 yrs, Est 12Ib

Mr. York's Lytham, 4 yrs, Bst 71b (Custance) 3
Tartar and Yeatsall also ran.
Betting-7 to 4 Grinder, and 9to 2 agst Lytham.
The favourite, lying next the rails, made the running,
followed by Lytham and Yeatsall ; but as they reached the
Stand, the latter, ovorpulling his rider, rushedpast Lytham,
and became second, but running out at the canal turn, he
became the absolute last. Proceeding along Canal-side
Moulsey went to the front, and for a few strides ran in com-
pany with the favourite, but dropping at the Bridge-turn,
Grinder came on alone,and won in a canter by five lengths
a bad third.
The Mostyn Stakes of 5 sous each, with 80 added, for 3-yr-
olds ; colts, Bst 101 b; fillies and geldings, Bst 61b. Wind
ners extra. Three-quarters of a mile. 14 subs.

Lucy Locket and Sabreur also ran.
Betting-7 to 4 each agst Tina and Gretna, and 7to 1 agst Miss Harriette. •
Gretna getting the best of the start came on with a clear
lead of Tina, who was followed by Miss Harriette and Cas-
tanet to the. Grosvenor-bridge turn, where Miss Harriette
became second, and came on in waiting upon the leader to
half-way in the distance. Here Clements headed her, and
the pair being at the same time joined by Tina., a fine race
ensued between the three, Miss Harriette winning in the
last stride by a short neck; half a length between the second
and third ; Castanet finished a bad fourth, Sabreur fifth,
and Lucy Locket last.
The Wynnstay Handicap of 100 soya, added to a sweep-
stakes of 5 soya each ; winners extra. One mile. 27 subs.
Marquis of Hastings' Pantaloon, 3 yrs, Est 10lb

Mr. G. Payne 's Beadle, 4 yrs, 7st 41b (Morris 4
The following also ran :—Brindisi, Crisis, and Vixen.
Betting-7 to 4 agst Pantaloon, sto 1 agst Queen of
Trumps, 6 to 1 each agst Crisis and Beadle, 7 to 1 agst
Vixen.

After two failures they were allowed to leave the post,
the favourite with a slight lead, followed by Queen of
Trumps and Beadle, Crisis and Lady Bohun lying several
lengths in their rear. Rounding the bridge turn Beadle
beat a retreat, leaving the race with the two, who came into
the straight a dozen lengths of Lady Bohun ; the latter,
heading the Queen of Trumps at the stand, was left in
attendance upon the favourite, who won in a canter by
three lengths, a length between the second and third.
Beadle finished a bad fourth.
The Palatine Stakes of 5 soya each, with 50 added ; for
3-yr-olds and upwards ; weight for age, with maiden
selling allowances. Once round and a distance. 12 subs.

Mr. Giubilei's Gulnara, 4 yrs, 7st llb (.£200) (Key 5
Betting-2 to lon Donnybrook, and sto 1 agst any other.
Donnybrook appeared in front for a few strides, he was
then pulled back, and the running was taken up by Nidder-
dale, who, with Gulnara and Sympathy in close attendance
carried it on to the bridge turn, where the favourite, who
had been lying last, began to improve his position, and as
they entered the straight, he became third. At the distance
Nidderdale was headed by Sympathy,who held a clear load
to the enclosure, when Fordham brought out Donnybrook,
and won a fine race by. three-quarters of a length. There
were two lengths between the second and third; a bad
fourth.
Eaton Plate (handicap) of 100 soya ; winners extra. Half
