TUESDAY.

The stewards not having thought it requisite to pre-
pose any new stakes in addition to the standing engage-
ments, the list fur this day's sport presented an unpre-
tending total of three races, of which the one, i, e., the
Newmarket Handicap, alone excited any interest. A
wet night was followed by a fine day, and the company
in consequence, swollen by fresh arrivals by the morning
trains to Chesterford, was more numerous than on
Monday, still, however, below the average. The ball
opened at half-past two, with the Tuesday's Riddles.
worth; this and the next stake having been brought to
lan issue, an interval of one hour was allowed, and at
four o'clock a larger field than we had calculated on
were brought to the post, and in due course the judge's
fiat passed a stake worth upwards of 1,1001. to the
account of the Honourable Member for Dublin. The
winner has since been named " Claremont,". The fol-
lowing is a brief report of the running:—

THE WINDSOR GRAND MILITARY AND AN,

NUAL S LEEPLE CHASES.-FIRST DAY.

WINDSOR, MONDAY EVENING.

This day, being the commencement of the Newmarket
Craven Meeting, led many persons to expect that
these annual races would this, their fifth year, be shorn
of a great portion of those celebrated sporting charac•
ters who, upon every former occasion, have taken part
in the sports and pastimes of a Windsor steeple-chase.
Although the attractions at Newmarket caused the ab-
sence of several who had heretofore been present, yet in
point of numbers the steeple-chases of 1847 were quite
as well attended as they have been during the past sea-
sons. No exertions have been spared by the stewards
to render the sport as attractive as usual ; and, we may
add, Mr. J. Thompson, the indefatigable clerk of the
course, upon whose shoulders have rested the carrying
out the whole of the admirable arrangements, has ex
erted himself for several weeks past most industriously
to render himself deserving of the thanks of the stewards
and the public. The attempt which was made by a
Rev. Gentleman of Windsor (the Rev. Mr. Gould, the
assistant curate) to put a stop to the sport, by endea_.-
vouring to obtain signatures to a document for its aboli-
tion, not only most signally flailed, but induced those
who were in its favour (nut only in Windsor, but else-
where) to redouble their exertions to promote and add
to the subscriptions, and thus increase the value of the
various stakes to be run for on each day. A great
number of carriages were on the ground, filled with
elegantly dressed females, and the grand and other stands
had their fair complcn-rent of visitors.
Amongst those who were present were the Marquis of
Worcester, Viscount Drumlanrig, the Earl of Strath-
more, Lord B. Cecil, Sir Edward Poore, Colonel Mickle-
th waite, Colonel Phillips, R. Clifton, Esq., the lion. G.
Noel, Viscount Neville, Captain William Peel, Major
Ogilvie, Captain Broadley, Captain Gambier, Captain
Rushbrook, Captain Walpole, Captain Weston, Sir H.
Burgess, Captain Harford, W. IL Wells, Esq., A. W.
Tollemache, Esq., Captain Stanford, T. H. Clifton,
Esq., A. M. Alleyne, Esq., M,jor Mountjoy Martin,
Captain Bulkeley, R. Sutton, Esq., Sir J. Brown, D.
Millie, Esq., G. W. Walker, Esq., kc.
The line of country selected by the stewards (the Mar-
quis of Worcester, Viscount Drumlanrig, Major Mount-
joy Martin, A. W. Tollemache, E,q., 2d Life Guards,
and T. H. Clifton, Esq.,) was as follows:—The starts
took place near the paling of the Great Park, between
Sheet street and Spital-road, with a long run to the first
fence (a stiff hedge on a bank, with a ditch on the taking-
off side), over a moderate fence into Bone-lane, several
loads of straw and manure being laid down in the lane
for the security of the horses, and to prevent the chance
of an accident. A open fence led out of the lane through
a garden into a grass field, over a good fence, into Mr.
Thompson's paddock, and another leading into the
winning field, passing in front of the grand stand,
over a flight of bush,d hurdles, which were removed
fur the run in. The next WAS an easy fence on to
the first brook, 12 feet aide, with an artificial four-feet
fence on the taking-off side, into a large field, in which
was placed a flight of posts and rails, over a couple of
good leaps into another part of Bone-lane, where similar
precautions had been taken by laying down straw to pre-
vent mishaps. The course then continued out of the
lane, through a small field, over two close fences into
the turning field, with another rasper into the starting
field, on to the second brook of between ten and eleven
feet wide, with a four-feet fence on the taking-off side,
crossing Spital-road into Captain Bulkeley's park, at
Clewer, where a circle of nearly half a mile was made,
over two ferret s; again crossing the Spital-road on to
the " Big brook" in Mr. Dyson's field, with fifteen:feet of
water to clear, and an artificial fence of about four feet
on the taking-off side. [At the steeple-chases of 1843
