SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

CROYDON AUTUMN STEEPLECHASES.
THURSDAY.

The concluding day's programme of this meeting was
not on a par with that of the previous day, although the
committee liberally added nearly 2CB sovs. The fields
were small, but 12 horses starting throughout the day, a
drawback attributable to the fearful state of the ground
through the late rains. The weather was more favourable
than on Tuesday or Wednesday, but the course was in
worse going, being so " bolding" that the animals actually
walked through the heaviest parts of it ; but the last race
was of the most exciting description, the finish being the
best of the meeting. The following is a full return of the
sport:— _ _ _

A Handicap Plate of 40 sous ; any winner after the publi-
cation of the weights to carry 71b extra. About two
miles and a half.
Count de la Bigne's R. M. D., 5 yrs, l2st 21b

Mr. Burbidge's Bravo aged, list (Capt. Shaw) 2

Selika and Amelia Ann also ran.

Botting-2 to 1 on on R. M. D., sto 1 agst Amelia
Ann.

r The latter for a short distance made play, when Bravo
went to the front, closely attended by R. M. D., and they
ran thus for a mile and a half, when the two placed
alternately led till within halt a mile of home, where
R. M. D. improved the pace and took a strong lead.
Blundering at the last fence, he nearly threw Quinton,
but recovering himself very cleverly, and steadying the
favourite, he won by ten lengths. Amelia Ann and
Selika did not pass the post.
A Selling Handicap of 3 sous each, with 25 added ; the
winner to be sold for 40 soya. About two miles.
Mr. Hamlin's Idiot, aged, 11st 41b (J. Land) 1
Snaggy, White Stockings, and Netherdale also ran.
Idiot went to the front immediately after the start, and,
never being approached, came in alone. White Stock-
ings who ran the entire course, passed the post 300 yards
behind the winner. Netherdale fell, and White Stockings
came down on States, but fortunately without seriously
hurting him Snaggy also came to grief.

The winner was not sold.

A Handicap Plate of 100 sovs. ; winners to carry 71bs extra.

About three miles.

Mr. E. Elphick's Goshawk, 6 yrs, lOst 121 b (Pickett) 1

Betting-5 to 4 agst Sugar Candy, sto 2 agst Goshawk,
3 to 1 agst Simpleton, 10 to 1 agst Meerschaum.
They ran in a cluster for a short distance, when Simple-
ton took a slight lead. On passing the Stand Meerschaum
was in front, but he was soon passed by Simpleton and
Goshawk, who alternately led for two miles, when the
favourite, who had waited on his horses, took up the run-
ning, but Goshawk drew up to him in the turnips, and
held a strong lead on reappearing on the far side. In the
meadows " Candy" gradually drew up to hint the pa
clearing the last fence side by side, when a terrific struggle
won,
commenced, but Goshawk making his final effort,
after the finest race of tho meeting,
