SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

HARROW FLAT RACES AND STEEPLECHASES.

SATURDAY.

The Middlesex Grand Open Handicap Steeplechase—the
eventpar excellence of the Harrow Meeting—was reserved for
this, the concluding day's sport.; but as the majority of the
visitors on the first day had quite enough of it, the princi-
pal feature of the gathering failed to prove attractive. The
card was weakened by the absolute failure of the Stand Plate
and the Volunteer Vase, and with the weather much colder
than on Friday, no wonder that the attendance was con-
siderably less than on the first day. The racing, however,
was much better, the contest for the Hunters' Stakes pro-
ducing a particularly smart struggle. The Handicap
Selling Stakes, appointed for half-past one, was an event
upon which both bookmakers and bookers speculated with
evident suspicion. Four ran, and for some little time after
the numbers were hoisted no favourite could be found. The
moment, however, The Devotee party executed a commis-
sion on their animal, he became an immense favourite, and
notwithstanding that the course was a perfect quagmire,
odds were laid upon Devotee. The race was never in
doubt, and the favourite coming away from Confusion,
before reaching the distance, won in a:canter. The Hunters'
Stakes, like the previous event, brought out the whole of
the entries. Of the eight starters four only were spiritedly
betted upon. Wigloy, an. evident "roarer," was favourite,
Dispute being second in demand, while Rivet and Miss Joyce
found backers at 5 to 1 each. The issue of the race was,
after going two mile:, confined to Miss Joyei, Dubious, and
Rivet ; but the latter, after a punishing finish, won in the
last dozen strides by a head from Miss Joyce, who had mad e
the greater part of the running. Othello fell before going a

mile, and it is believed was so seriously injured that he will
have to be destroyed. Dispute, in the same interest, also
came to grief at the same fence the second time round, when
going strong and well, and with a great prospect of suc-
cess. The winner, Rivet, was bred by Mr. James Merry,
whose colours he carried successfully in the £5O
Maiden Plate for two-year-olds in 1861, which race was
won by Fig, Jack-in-the-Box being second, and Grisette
third. There were eleven runners from the twelve
coloured for the principal event of the day, which excited
considerable interest until the last hurdles were cleared. At
that point Ibex, who had throughout kept a prominent posi-
tion, came to.the front and won easily. Mr. Brayley landed
a good stake by the result, his jockey (Page) assuring him
on the previous day that Ibex could have won the Harrow
Steeplechase Handicap Plate had the horse not met with an
accident. A match of a very one-sided character, for the
Selling Handicap Steeplechase brought the proceedings to
a close. Full details of the running will be found below.
A Handicap Selling Stakes of 3 sovs each, with 20 added,

Betting-5 to 4on Devotee, and 4to 1 bar one.
Confusion held the lead till within 300 yards of the win-
ning post, where :Devotee easily passed him, and Comery
perceiving he had no chance of winning, subsequently
allowed Lifebuoy (beaten four lengths by Confusion) to
get second. Lady Overton bolted soon after starting, and
took no part in the race.
A Hunters' Stakes of 5 sovs ep,ch,",with 20 added ; 12st each ;
winners extra, and selling allowances. About three

miles.

The following also ran:—Wigley, Dispute (late Ancho-
rite), Othello, Jenny Jones, and Dunston.
Betting-3 to 1 agst Wigley, 4to 1 agst Dispute, sto 1
each agst Rivet and Miss Joyce.
Immediately the start was effected Dunston ran to the
front, but in a few hundred yards Miss Joyce deprived him
of the lead, and clearing the brook, which all got over with-
out mishap, she at once assumed a commanding position ;
Dunston following second, Othello third, Dubious fourth,
Dispute fifth, with Rivet, Jenny Jones, and Wigley well up
in their track. At the second fence Othelld fell, and was so
seriously injured by one of the competitors jumping on him
that it was thought the horse's back was broken, but
the horse, however, with assistance, walked to his stable
in the neighbourhood. After going once round the
ground Dispute, who had taken a prominent position in the
race, fell at the
_save fence which had brought her stable
companion (Othello) to grief.- Neither of tho jvckcy
however, Mr. Mumford and J. Knott (the latter of whom
had a narrow escape) was hurt, nor was Dispute. Nume-
rous alterations of position occurred with the rear rank in
the last mile, but except being for a short distance headed
by Jenny Jones, Miss Joyce held the front position from
the time she took up the running on passing the stand the
first time, till within 50 yards of the winning post where
Rivet passed her, and after an exciting race won by a head.
Dubious finished two lengths behind Miss Joyce. Jenny
Jones was a bad fourth, Dunston (who injured himself in
jumping) being fifth, close up. Nothing else passed the
post. The winner was sold to Mr. Blencowe for 125 guineas,
placing a surplus of £75 to the fund.
The Middlesex Grand Open Handicap Steeplechase of 20
sovs each, 10 ft, with 200 added ; winners extra. About

three miles and a half. 13 subs.
Mr. E. Brayley's Ibex (h b), 5 yrs, lOst 111 b (Page) 1
Mr. T. Iven's Ladbroke Lass, aged, list 41b (Mr. Ellison) 2
Mr. G. Walker's Pigeon, 6 yrs, 12st 21b (Owner) 3
The following also ran :—lronsides, Crusade, Goshawk,
Balleycasey, Duster, Aggressor, Deception, and Goldfinder.
Betting-5 to 2 agst Pigeon, 6to 1 each agst Deception
and Aggressor, 8 to 1 agst Ibex, 9 to 1 agst Ironsides, 10
to 1 agst Ladbroke Lass, 100 to 8 each agst Crusade and
Goshawk.

Deception made play, followed by Ladbroke Lass and
Ironsides, to the brook, where Ladbroke Lass took up the
running. Next the Lass were Deception, Ironsides, Ibex,
Crusade, and Duster, who frequently changed places ;
whilst in their rear followed Balleycasey, Aggressor, Gold-
finder, and Goshawk in close company ; Pigeon lying last, a
considerable distance from the leader. Little variation oc-
curred until reaching the stand the second time, where De-
ception and Ironsides went in front of Ladbroke Lass, and
upon arriving at the judge's box Ironsides took command
but stumbling in the deep clay came on to his head, and
nearly threw States, who, in pulling the old horse together
baulked Deception, and Ladbroke Lass again went on with
the lead, followed over the brook by Balleycasey, Crusade,
Ironsides, and Aggressor; Ibex, Pigeon, and Duster being
close up. Half a mile from home Balleycasey, Ironsides,
and Crusade dropped astern, and Ladbroke Lass rapidly
compounding, enabled Ibex and Pigeon to draw upon her
in the last quarter of a mile. Young Page judiciously waited
with Ibex until the last jump had been cleared, and then
sending the ex-flat racer along at his best pace, quickly
caught Ladbroke Lass and easily defeated her by four
lengths. Pigeon, who looked formidable to the distance,
was there hopelessly beaten, and struggled home two
lengths from the second ; Duster was a bad fourth, Iron-
sides fifth, Crusade sixth, Balleycasey seventh ; and Gold-
finder (who staked himself three fences from the finish)
walked in eighth. Goshawk fell and walked in with the
crowd, as did also Deception.
A Selling Handicap Steeplechase of 3 sovs each, with 10
added ; winner to be sold for 40 sovs. About 2/ miles.

A LEFT-HANDED COXPLESIENT.—The municipa-
lity of Ravenna have just voted a sum of 2,000 f. for the
erection of a monument to Anita, the courageous wife of
Garibaldi. General Garibaldi having married again, and
his wife (No. 2) having soon after the nuptials ran away
from him with an Austrian officer_ this tribute must come
rather awkwardly.
