BATH STEEPLECHASES.
A capital meeting of 'cross country work is marke
for decision to-morrow, to take place within a short dis
tance of Bath. It is under the stewardship of Captai -
West, Joseph Willis, and C. H. Rhys, Esqs., with Mr '
Reilly as secretary. The day's sport consists of thre 9
items, the first of which, the Grand Open Handicai
Steeplechase of 15 sovs. each, 5 t, &c., over about fou r
miles of fair vale hunting country, will be ran oN at tvo ;
o'clock, just enabling Londoners to reach the scene a
•.
action by the morning train. This stake hag eleven a 4
ceptances, and it is presumed will have six or sev
runners at the leas:;. Captain Little's Peter Simple Nv het
not be among them however. It is also expected ti
View Halloo and Ringleader will also follow my lead. Ii
What has been done with re:pect to this stake, via,'
lead one to infer that the race is a certainty for Fore I,
Lad or Vengeance, notwithstanding Leporello--a
bred horse and good fencer—and the General are likel
to figure as starters. That the interest of the st, ake
be confined to this four is beyond doubt ; but th., mone
seems to favour Mr. Higgin s FOREST LAD most, and
after him, VENGEANCE.

The second race is a Free Handicap Steeplechase, ' 1
5 sovs. each, with 25 added, over the same ground as th D
preceding. The whole of the ent-ies, I believe, 'will g '
to the post; and those who know the animal ass,N i
't tha
lODINE will be the leading horse, and Unknown an' 1
Vestris cannot have any better place than sect ina 311'
third.

The third and last race of the day is the Bat h Stag
hunt Steeplechase, of 3 sovs. each, with 20 ads Jed, f° ti
horses the property of subscribers to the Bath: Stagy
hounds, that have been hunted with them prior to i
1, 1853, &c. To attempt to indicate the winner- of
race by following the cash is about impossible, ° 2
