EXTRAORDINARY STEEPLECHASE.

On Monday last a steeplechase match, for 51. a-side,
took place over one mile of the same course on which the
Ather-tone Hunt Raced were run some fee, years ago,
between Mr. John Harding's (of Atterton Scrub-) brown
mare Jingo, 18st (owner), and Mr. James Ward'e (of
Highain-on the. Hill) Lord Daily Denman, lOst(ownei).
Mr, James Jepheon of Nuneaton officiated as judge, and,
all being in readiness, the start took place out of a lane,
over a quickset fence, which Dandy took in good style ;
but Jingo swerved, and went over on the wrong side of
the flag, and before she could be got round and at work
again Dandy bad made good use of his time, and was
nearly half-a-mile in advance, but on coming to the fourth
fence, where a narrow open drain was on the taking-
off side, he refused, and waitly quietly until Jingo came
up, and all the skill the jockeys possessed could not
induce them to go over till nearly half-an-hour had
elapsed. At length Dandy managed to tumble through,
and, making a great bole, Jingo soon folowed, and on
they went at a rattling pace, but on coming to the
next fence they both refused, and had to wait nearly
another bait hour, during which time Mr. Harding
threatened to horsewhip some little boys who bad the
impudence to tell him his mother ought to be ashamed
of herself for allowing such an infant to be put on a
horse. This aroused his mettle, and after a desperate
eff ,rt he forced Jingo over, or rather through, and a
smile was observed on his countenaoce ; buy the lead
was soon wrested from him, Dandy following him irn-
mediattly, and passing him in the next 50 yards. On
corning to the next fence they again both refused, but
Dandy was first over, and away he went at a racing
pace, but on turning the bend to take the last fence
into the winning-field, he went too far round, and hie
rider was unable to prevent him hopping over into a
cabbage garden, in which he was lost to view, and by
the time he emerged from amongst the slugs 'Lego
was up, but with bellows to mend ; and they both
went over the last fence nearly together, Dandy with
a slight lead, which he increased as he went on, and
finally won, amidst the cheers of his friends, by 30
lengths, in one hour and five minutes. The above per-
formance was witnessed by about 200 spectators, who
were convulsed with laughter the whole of the time.
