GRAND STEEPLE CHACE—( YESTERDAY. )
This desperate but exciting kind of racing has, of late years,
become so popular in the vicinity of the metropolis, that the
cockney sportsmen look as regularly for them in the winter as
they do for Ascot and Epsom in the summer ; it was with no
small delight, therefore, that they read the announcement of
the Buckinghamshire Steeple Chace, the more so, as the dis-
tance from town (40 miles) was such as to keep away the
rabble, who, on occasions of this sort, contrive to do a vast deal
of mischief to the farmers. The race, of which the result and
particulars will be found below, was suggested and made at
Mr. Anderson's, in Piccadilly, and speedily obtained a long
list of subscribers of high respectability, insomuch that a field
of fifteen or sixteen good horses, with riders celebrated for
their doings " across the country," was ensured. The time
fixed for the event to come off was the 12th (yesterday), and
the place, the Vale of Ailesbury, a spot peculiarly adapted to
the purpose, as, independent of some galloping ground, it
abounds with fences—none of the light sort of jumps, so fre-
quently selected out of compliment to the white-kid-glove• class
of equestrians, but regular raspers, accomplishable only by
good cattle and resolute riders. For the accommodation of
those who lacked either the " appliances" or the disposition
to "go with them," the line of country was taken as near to
the turnpike road as possible, so that a good view of the race
was afforded for the greater part of the distance. Ailesbury,
till now a stranger to meetings of this description, was fixed
upon as head-quarters, and here, on our arrival yesterday
morning, we found a very numerous assemblage of amateur
and professional sportsmen, as well as a strong muster
of fashionables. The town was on the qui vivo through-
out the day, which was as fine as the most inveterate plea-
sure-seeker could desire. Before entering into particulars
of the race we should state that it was for a sweerstake of 15
sovereigns each, p.p., with a fifty-guinea cup added ' • the dis-
tance four miles, and the umpires H. Peyton and J. Fielding,
Esqrs., two gentlemen well known in all the sporting circles
for their experience on the Turf and in the Field. The
ground was chosen by them on the Bicester road, and was, as
we have before intimated, remarkable for its severity—it is
barely possible, indeed, that a more trying four miles could
have been selected. The starting point was Wadston Mill,
about four miles and a half from Ailesbury, the winning-flags
being planted in a field close to the town, belonging to Mr.
Brookes. There were no other flags, the riders having the
privilege of. choosing their own line, with the church steeple
as a very conspicuous and appropriate beacon. Nearly the
whsle of the ground was grass land, and it included, besides
several rises, some double fences with ditches, two lanes, and
plenty of general fencing, a brook about a mile and a half
from the start, and a river, of nearly eight yards wide, within
a mile from home. •
A little before twi o'clock the following horses appeared at
:he starting-point :
Marquis of Waterford's br. f. Lancet (rode by the owner)
Mr. Geary's br. g. Pickle (owner)
Count D'brsay's b. g. Ace of Trumps (a lad)
Mr. Bainbridge's w. m. Laurestina (Mr. Allnutt)
Captain Fairlie's b. m. Norna (Mr. Powell)
Mr. Solloway's br. g. Enterprise (owner)
Mr. Cowper 's b. g. Harlequin (owner)
Captain Sheddon's ch. g. Phipps (owner)
Captain Lamb's b. g. Vivian (Mr. Beecher)
Mr. Tilbury's ch. h. Prosperer ( Mr. .1. Mason)
Captain Clitheroe's bn. g. Fingal (owner)
Mr. Elmore's g. g. Grimaldi (Mr. Bean)
Mr. Bean's b. g. Dreadnought (Mr. Cardale)
Mr. Anderson's w. g. The Flyer (Mr. Weston)
Mr. Anderson's b. g- The Poet (Mr. Rice)
Mr. Weston's ch g. Cottager (Mr. F. Nicholson)
Mr. Yeasley's ch. g. (a lad)
Mr. Smith's b. g. (a lad)
Mr. Brown's g. m. Confidence (owner)
Mr. Scotland's b. g. Glenartney (Mr. Cartwright)
The odds were 4 to 1 agst Vivian, 6 to 1 aget The Poet,
7 to 1 egg Grimaldi, 7 to 1 agst The Flyer, and 8 to 1 agst
Cottager.—The start took place at the time mentioned above ;
ell got off fairly, but in a wide straggling manner, especially
Lord Waterford, who took his line to the left of his competi-
tors, and quite distinct from them, which course his Lordship
observed throughout. Mr. Yeasle's horse took the lead at a
slashing pace, Norna, Phipps,Vivian, Pickle, Laurestina, The
Poet, Grimaldi, Prosperer, and one or two others lying up ; in
the course of the first mile and a half there were several falls ;
Phipps's bridle broke, and two or three changes took place in
the position of the horses. At this point there was a spinney,
the first to get through which were Vivian, Mr. Yeasley's
horse, and Norna, Prosperer and the rest being close at their
heels. Prosperer was first out of the brook, and Vivian a
moment after ; but in charging a gate in the next field (where
two or three others received falls), he got a complete summer-
set. His intrepid rider, however, malgre bruises and scratches,
was remounted in an instant, and was well up with his horses
at the river. No one attempted to leap this, but all were up
(Vivian, Norna, Laurestina, The Poet, Lancet, Glenartney,
Mr. Yeasley's horse, and Confidence), and dashed boldly into
it. Laurestina was first landed on the other side, then Vivian,
and after him, Prosperer, Norna, and Mr. Yeasley's horse ;
but all dead beat, except the first two. Laurestina was lead-
ing till they came to a lane, which was enclosed between two
tremendous fences, at one of which Vivian had another fall ;
Mr. Beecher up in an instant, rode with great patience, drew
gradual') upon the mare, caught her in the last field but one,

took the last fence head and head with her, and then broke away,
winning very cleverly by three or four lengths, and complet-
ing the distance under fourteen minutes. Prosperer was third,
Norna. fourth, and Mr. Yeasley's fifth. Of the others we can
give no positive account ; some cooled themselves in the river
till they were dragged out ; and others, finding the inutility of
any further struggle, got into the turnpike road and came home
at their leisure, not one having escaped one or more falls.
Altogether it was the most spirited and best conducted steeple-
chase that has ever been seen within fifty miles of town.

THE LATE EARL SPENCER.—The remains o
this distinguished Nobleman will, after lying in state, be depo-
sited in the family vault in Brington Church, distant about a
mile from Althorp House, Northamptonshire, where his Lord-
ship died. It has been the burying place of the family for
centuries. The tenantry will probably be invited to attend
the funeral. On the occasion of the death of Countess
Spencer, about three years back, who was brought down from
London for interment at Brington, the tenantry, to the num-
ber of about 400, mounted on horseback, met the body at
Queen's Cross, near Northampton, and followed in procession
thence. The body was first taken to Althorp House, and after
a halt of about an hour, conveyed to the church, the then Lord
Althorp and the Hon. Captain Spencer following as Chief
Mourners. The approach to the church from Althorp House,
after quitting the park, is in great part between rows of noble
lime trees. The vault is situated in a kind of chapel or recess
to the north of the altar, and there are various monuments
around of members of the family interred there before the
Spencers were raised to the Peerage. The living is in the gift
of the family, and was bestowed by the late Earl on his son
George, who resigned it on becoming a convert to the Roman
Catholic creed. It is now held by the Rev. Mr. Rose. The
church is of great antiquity.
INJURIOUS EFFECTS OF VINEGAR.—That vine-
gar is destructive to the human stomach is known by its effects
on plump healthy females, who, from a silly desire of looking
delicate, that is sickly, swallow daily large draughts of vinegar.
This innocent practice only ruins the digestive faculties, and
thereby deprives the system of its regular nourishment. The
only standard of beauty is high health.— The Orpcle of Health.
EGYPT.—The wonderful antiquities of this interest-
ing region have for ages very naturally excited the curiosity
and stimulated the research of the enterprising, of almost
every nation. The country has, accordingly, been visited by
'a succession of travellers, all eager to bring to light treasures
which have been buried for so many centuries. Many of these
individuals have found a grave in the prosecution a their la-
bours. Others have met with insurmountable obstacles in
pursuance of their object. But no one ever possessed such
unusual facilities as the late Henry Salt, who for many years
filled the important office of Consul-General. Independently
of an unlimited permission to excavate, the estimation in which
he was deservedly held by Mahomed Ali, procured him infor-
mation and assistance not available to any other traveller.
Hence the recently published memoirs of Mr. Salt, which, of
course gives a copious account of his residence and travels in
Egypt, may be considered one of the most instructive as well
as entertaining biographical works which has appeared for
many years.
A. ludicrous circumstance lately occurred at the
theatre at Market Drayton, Shropshire. The company were
performing Pizarro, when, during the " Hymn to the Sun,"
the lights being placed too close to the transparent scene of
that luminary, it unfortuately took fire. The manager, who
officiated as the High Priest, just after singing the words " 0
power supreme," observed the mishap, and in the utmost con
sternation, called to the stage-keeper, " The sun's on fire "
then proceeding with the hymn, " 0 power supreme !" " You
rascals put out the sun, I say " The sun, however, continued
to blaze. The audience, notwithstanding their fears, were
convulsed with laughter, and it was not till the fire in the sun
was extinguished, that the play could proceed.
INCENDIARISNI IN BEDFORDSHIRE.—On Mon-
day evening, about six o'clock, the second incendiary fire
within a week in this county broke out on the farm of Messrs.
T. and R. Cook, occupying Town's-end Farm, at Steppingley,
near Ampthill, part of the domain of the Duke of -Bedford.
Two barns, two cattle-sheds, a quantity of barley and oats, the
produce of forty acres, and three stacks of hay, were de •
stroyed or rendered unfit for consumption ; the buildings were
burnt to the ground. The design of the incendiary was
happily frustrated, as the property was amply insured in the
Suffolk Fire-office. It appears that one of the Messrs. Cook
is churchwarden, and the other overseer, of the parish ; con-
jointly with a near relative, they occupy another farm, called
Steppingley Park, altogether having under their charge be-
tween 300 and 400 acres. They are working farmers them-
selves, and consequently have not occasion for more than four
or five labourers, which appears to have given offence to the
unemployed paupers, some of whom are allowed 35., some
2s. 6d. a week to maintain a wife and family. The next day
the local Magistrates had a meeting, but nothing occurred to
warrant the detention of any party, although some suspicion
fell upon a man who works in the neighbourhood.
