LEAMINGTON AND WARWICK HUNT MEETING
WEDNESDAY.

In a fierce gale of wind and torrents of rain the second day
at Warwick was anything but pleasant, and the attendance
was limited solely to those who make racing their business.
The running was, of course, affected by the heavy state of
the ground, and any line drawn from it will prove but
fallacious. There was a good race between Hope and
Pegasus in the Handicap Plate over the three quarters of a
mile course, the former, very well ridden by Murray, land-
ing by a neck. This was an immense favourite for the Nu-
rsery at 6 to 4, with scarcely anything else backed, but she
died away at the distance, and apparently left the race to
Madlle. Cleopatra, Carroll, however, bringing Miss Harriette
with a rush at the Standand defeating her by half a length.
The Great Midland Handicap and the steeplechases were
the big events of the day. The former was a very hollow
affair, Sister to the Drake cantering in some lengths in
front of Pearl Diver, who was heavily backed, but suc-
cumbed to the weight.
The Selling Steeplechase was a gift to the favourite,
Strike; and the Handicap, which brought out the large
field of 19 runners, rewarded Mr. Powell for the many dis-
appointments he has had with Flyfisher.
The Welter Handicap of 5 sous each, 3 ft, for 3-yr-olds
and upwards. To be ridden by gentlemen ; profes-
sionals extra. 1 mile.
