HARROW FLAT RACES AND STEEPLECHASES.

TuunspAy.

This meeting, the programme of which embraced steeple-
chasing and flat racing, was inaugurated to-day over the
usual course, situated about a mile and a quarter from the
Harrow Station of the London and North-Western Railway.
The weather was fine, but the course and its approaches
were " sloppy ;" indeed, some portions of the running
ground were inches deep in water. As the gathering is
very popular with the Londoners there was a goodly
attendance, and an average ring and stand, but there was
an absencenise the of
Lincolnh bookmakers who
tr Nevertheless there was
plenty of speculation upon the four races decided during
the afternoon. For the Handicap Plato no less than 15
paote"swellsD leeti'n ' and
big
competitors faced the starter, and of these Marquis of
Worcester was made the favourite, and the result proved
that the talent wore not wrong in their calculations, for ho
won from end to end. The two-year-old race was won by
Alarmist, a colt by Vedette—Barometer. The other races
are sufficiently described below :7-

clear lead of Venturer and Gaiety to the distance, where

Betting—Evon on Derry, 9 to 4 on Pocket Hercules, and
sto 2 agst Alarmist. After gbing about 50 yards in a
cluster Alarmist assumed a slight lead of Pocket Hercules,
close up with whom was Derry, and they ran in this order
to the distance, where Pocket Hercu:es closed with Alarm-
ist, but Nightingall stalled him off ; and opposite to the

Betting-100 to 30 agst Fairy King, sto 2 agst Monitor,
and 4to 1 agst Salamis. Bravo showed the way clear of
Fairy King and Salamis to the first fence, whore the leader
jumped on the wrong side, and Fairy King was left in front
for a short distance, but refusing, Salamis took up the
running and led across the rifle range, when he was joined
by Fairy King, who hold a, clear lead going along the far
side. After about a mile of the journey had been tra-
versed Bravo joined his horses, and on passing the stand
was close up with Salamis, who was about three lengths
behind Monitor. At the water jump Monitor closed with
Fairy King, the pair clearing the obstacle almost abreast,
but at the next fence Fairy King refused, an example
which was followed by Bravo. This contretemps left Sala-
mis with a clear lead, and Monitor falling half a mile from
home he was out of it. At the last fence but one from
home Fairy King passed Bravo and made up a good deal
of the lost ground, but was never able to reach Salamis,
who won easily by 15 lengths. Bravo was a bad third.
The winner was bought in for 50 guineas.
