1 agst Doubloon, 7 to 1 agst Gorsehawk, 8 to 1 agst Pallas
Lass, and 10 to 1 agst Polly Hopkins. The lot got away in
a cluster, and passing the Stand Ironsides led the way, but
turning out of the straight was headed by Rochester, who
went on closely followed by Mr. Land's horse, Eheu being
third, with Shuttlecock, Polly Hopkins, Gorsehawk, and
Serious Case following at tho head of the others. After
going about half a mile Eheu dropped back amongst the
roar division, and little change took place in the positions
when arriving at the Stand the second time, Rochester
still being in command, Ironsides, Serious Case, and
Shuttlecock in hot pursuit. Next succeeded Pallas Lass,
Polly Hopkins, Doubloon, The Rogue, and Jack, the
others being thus early out of tho raco. On the far
side The Rogue, when toiling on in the rear, fell at a
fence, and about three quarters of a mile from
home Shuttlecock was beaten and passed by Doubloon,
who who went up to Ironsides and Rochester. About three
fences from the winning field Ironsidos gave way, leaving
Doubloon in close attondanco on Rochester, and the pair
raced nearly side by side to the last fence, from which
point Rochester drew away and won in a cantor by six
lengths. Doubloon who was eased was passed by Ironsides
and Gorsehawk, who were second and third ; the latter
being four lengths in the rear of Mr. Land's horse ; Jack
was fourth ; Doubloon next; Serious Caso trotted in ; and
Pallas Lass and Shuttlecock walked in with tho crowd.

Mn. W. F. WINDITAIL—On Thursday evening a
fatal accident occurred to ono of Mr. W. F. Windham's
horses. He was starting from the Norfolk Hotel, Nor-
wich, in his coach, the Express, when the off-wheel horse
slipped down and got the collar entangled about his throat
so as to produce suffocation.

A splendid autumnal morning caused 'natters to assume
a very different aspect at Harrow on the second day of the
meeting. In place of the heavy rain of the previous day
the sun shone brilliantly, and as might reasonably be ex-
pected the company was greatly in excess of the opening
day. The racing was good throughout the afternoon, and
the meeting terminated without any of those unseemly
" wrangles" which so frequently disgust the frequenter of
the minor gatherings near the metropolis.

the post Usher got off in front, closely attended by Rein-
deer and Confusion, with Lady Abbess on the near side,
heading the others to the distance, where Reindeer, in the
centre of the course, drew up to Usher, whom he headed
half-way on the hill, and won cleverly by a neck ; half a

Viper close up, with whom was Varnish. After going
about a hundred yards Novice retired from the front, and
Saxon Beauty took up the running with Viper and Var-

retained his advantage to the end, winning cleverly by
a neck ; half a length separated the second and third ;
