LIVERPOOL S PRINcp. MEE T
TTIE STEEPLECHASE-DAY.
There was no diminution in the attendance to-day, but,
on the contJary, stand and coarse were4we thought, more
crowded than usual. Yesterday, though the racing was
somewhat flat, the receipts at the stand were above the
average, so the Messrs. Topham have not had to complain
of their venture. The Steeplechase this year did not boast
such an acceptance as late years have shown us, and ex-
ception has been taken to the badness of the handicap. Be
that as it may, the race has been characterised by the usual
rush to get on favourites on the part of the public, and the
usual "scratchings" on the part of owners who had been
forestalled. Columbia and Surney, after being invested
on, were struck out, and Shakspere assumed the lead in
the betting, which he held very firmly, until Fan, conse-
quent on the easy wins of her stable companion, Helen,
than whom she was said to be much better, deprived him
of his position, but not for long. A heavy commission
coming into the market in favour of King Arthur soon
brought him to 6 to 1, Shakspere being second favourite,
and Fan retiring to 8 to 1.
There was not such a large field as anticipated, only 23
runners coming to the post. There were fewer collisions,

than last year Lone or two falling at the second fence, but
beyond that there were no mishaps. The pace was very
good, and Cortolvin, the second last year, when he was
beaten by Salamander, now won easily from Fan—Shan-
garry and Globule being the next two.

The time was 10 minutes 43 seconds.
The Welter Cup of 40 sovs, added to a Handicap of 5 soya
each ; winners of any handicap after Feb. 26 (at eleven
a.m.) 101 b extra ; if beaten for any handicap at this
meeting and not placed second or third allowed 51b ;
gentlemen riders. One mile and a quarter. 10 sovs.
Mr. Barber's Helen, by Commotion, 6 yrs, 10st Glb
(Mr. Edwards) 1
Lord Stamford's Brick, aged, 11st (Mr. Blake) 2
Mr. A. Yates's Balham, aged, 10st 91b (Owner) 3
Betting—Even on Helen, and 7 to 4 each agst Brick and
Balham.

Brick, with Balham at his girth; made play to the mile-
post, where the latter dropped back and his place was taken
by the favourite, who waited upon the leader to the half-
distance. Here Helen came out, and taking a clear lead
at the enclosure, won very easily by half a length; a bad

third.
The Sefton Plate of 100 sovs, added to a Handicap of 5
sovs each, 2 ft (to the fund); winners of any handicap
after Feb. 26 (at eleven a.m.) 10 extra ;if beaten for the
Mersey Cup or Flying Stakes and not placed second or
third allowed 51b; from the Canal Point in. About six
furlongs.

Lord Stamford's b h Thalassius 5 yrs, Est 101 b (Kelly) 5

Betting—G to 4 agst Panacea, 100 to 30 agst Lady Craven,
4 to 1 agst Ulphus, 7 to 1 agst Miss Frances, and 10 to 1
agst Thalassius. Miss Frances was the first away, closely
attended by the favourite and King's Daughter, Ulphus,
Thalassius, and Lady Craven following nearly abreast.
Half way in the distance King's Daughter dropped away
beaten, and Ulphus, who had hitherto laid away, improved
his position, and as they neared the stand Kenyon came
with a rush, and, getting up in the last stride, won a
fine race by a head, Miss Frances finishing with the same
advantage of Panacea, who was a couple of lengths in ad-
vance of Lady Craven. The others were beaten off.

The Two Year Old Plato of 50 sovs; colts, Bst 101 b;
fillies, Bst 51b; winners 7lb extra ; the winner to be
sold for 100 sovs ; if for 50 sovs allowed 71b. T.Y.C.

As usual here along delay took place before the numbers
of the 23 runners were exhibited on the telegraph, and in
consequence it was upwards of 25 minutes past the time
set down for the start before they had taken their prelimi-
nary canters and reached the starter, to the no little annoy-
ance of thousands who were exposed to a bitter easterly
wind, accompanied by occasional falls of snow. At last
the shouts from the Stand accompanied the fall of the flag,
and the race commenced in earnest by Thomastown, on
the right of his horses, taking up the running, closely at-
tended by Cortolvin, Light Heart, Plinlimmon, Sea King,
and King Arthur, to whom succeeded in a body Shakspere,
Globule, Fan, Revolver, Little Frank, Tennyson, and Ge-
nievre in a cluster, whipped in by Little Wideawake, White-
hall, Havelock, Hall Court, Shangarry, and Marengo. They
ran thus across the lane, but on reaching the first fence old
Thomastown blundered, and on landing lost his place. He
was not after persevered with, and his place was then taken
up by King Arthur, who, somewhat overpulling his rider,
had rushed to the frost, and led over the succeeding ob-
struction, followed by the Sea King, Plinlimmon, Globule,
Tennyson, Cortolvin, Light Heart, Shakspere, and Fan,
the latter taking a lino of her own on the extreme right,
the others, who were headed by Globule, Genievre, and
Revolver, lying close in their track to the post and rails,
beyond which King Arthur refused, but was speedily put
at it again, and got over, but the mishap lost him hisplace
The others were more fortunate, and got safely over, with
the exception of Whitehall, who fell heavily and unhorsed
his rider, and in so doing came in collision with Hall Court
and Little Wideawake, whose chance was thus extinguished.
During the scrimmage running was taken up by Cortol-
vin, who, with Globule, Sea King, Tennyson, Light Heart,
Shakspere, Fan, and Revolver in close attendance, carried
it on at a very indifferent pace over Beecher's Brook, fel-
lowed at wide intervals by Shangarry, Marengo, King
Arthur, Genievre, Astrolabe, Havelock, and Little
Frank, Banker still bringing up the rear. No mate-
rial change in their position took place until they
reached the fence beyond Valentine's Brook, approaching
which Page judicously eased his horse and resigned the
lead to the game little Globule, who had up to this period
been overreaching his horses, and now being indulged with
the command came across the Plough by the canal side
clear of his horses, waited upon by Sea King, Cortolvin
goieg on third, Tennyson fourth, with Shakespeare and
Genievro next, the lot getting well over the succeeding
