WINDSOR STEEPLECHASES.-TUESDAY.

The Castle Steeplechase Plate (Handicap), of 30 sovs. ,
added to a sweepstakes of 5 sovs. each; winners extra.
About two miles and a half.

Mr. Land's Brine, 4 yra, 9st 41b
Mr. W. Holman's Bantam, 5 yrs, 9st 71b (G. Stevens) 2
Mr. Cavanagh's Melody, 5 yrs, 9st 21b (Gammage) 3
The following also ran :—Queensferry, Alfred the Great,
Premier, Horror.
Betting-2 to 1 agst Brine, 3 to 1 agst Bantam, 4 to 1
agst Queensferry. On the flag being lowered Melody
started with a clear lead, followed by Hurror. Alfred the
Great, Bantam, and Brine, in the order we have given
them, the others lying closeaup. After passing the cut
fence out of the orchard adjoining the Spits' road, Queens•.
ferry rushed to the front, and went on with a strong lead ;
the Premier going on second, Horror third, Bantam fourth;
then came Brine, Alfred the Great, and Melody. In this
order they ran, without any material alteration, to the
fence in the rear of the stand, which Alfred the Great
cleared in advance of Horror, who was followed by Brine
and Bantam, the other three lying close up. On rounding
the top tutu Alfred the Great ineroised his lead, and cleared
the water jump in the bottom two or three lengths first, fol-
lowed by the others in close order, the lot getting safely
over with the exception of Queensferry, who " commenc-
ing" too early, jumped short, and fell on landing, and was
not afterwards persevered with. On reaching the fence on
the brow of the hill near the hovel, Alfred the Great made

a mistake and fell, leaving the lead with the Premier, hav-
ing the favourite, Brine, and Horror lying close up, Melody
being last. No change occurred in this order of running
until reaching the lane, which they jumped into, but re-
fused the fence out, and ran some distance before they were
got over. Brine, however, was more fortunate, as he got
safely over and obtained a decided lead, followed by Ban-
tam and Melody, but without a chance of reaching the
leader, who won in a canter by 30 lengths, a like distance
between the second and third. Premier was stopped and
walked home.

The Grand Military Steeplechase, a sweepstakes of 10 soya
each; 5 ft, with 50 added. 12st each; winners extra.
About 3 miles. (11 subs.)
Captain Coate's (]oth Hussars) Grey Peter, aged, 12st

(Captain Barclay) 1
Captain Briscoe's (11th Hussars) Old Ben Roe, 13st,
(inc 141 b ext) .. (Captain Potts) 2
Captain Boyce's (16th Hussa7) Sledge-hammer, 12st
(Owner) 3
The following also ran—Jim Crow, The Dodger, Harli-
quin, Leander, Guy Fawkes, Slasher, and Castanet.
Betting-5 to 4 agst Old Ben Roe, 4to 1 agst Grey Peter,
5 to 1 agst Castanet, and 6 to 1 agst Sledge-hammer. Sledge-
hammer cut out the work to the first fence, which they all
cleared cleverly, except The Slasher and Leander,, who
cannoned in the air and both fell, the latter getting away,
and ran some distance before she could be caught. Her
rider was soon again in the saddle, and following in the
wake of his more fortunate adversaries. The rider of
Slasher, we are sorry to record, was less fortunate, and re-
ceived some severe injuries; he was carried to the Stand,
where medical aid was speedily obtained. Sledge-hammer
continued on with his lead, followed by Grey Peter, Jim
Crow, and Harlequin, the favourite lying some lengths in
the rear. Proceeding up the hill towards the. barracks,
Sledge-hammer increased his lead to twenty lengths, the
others following on in Indian file, in the order we have
given them above. Little or no alterations occurred until
entering the meadows at the far side, when Guy Fawkes
fell heavily at the fence before reaching the lane, and was
stopped. On passing the Stand Sledge-hammer still led,
Grey Peter going on second, Jim Crow third, Old Ben Roe
fourth, Harlequin fifth, Castanet next, The Badger last, in
which position they remained until re- appearing in sight,
when Grey Peter was observed at the girths of Sledge-
hammer, Jim Crow, with Old Ben Roe, side by side, lying
three lengths off, and to this quartet the race was confined.
Rounding the flag for home, Grey Peter obtained a slight
lead, Old Ben Roe at the same time taking second place,
the pair racing to the water jump together, which Grey
Peter cleared in advance of the old horse, who dropped his
quarters in, and won cleverly at last by four lengths; a bad
third ; Jim Crow was fourth; nothing else passed the post.
The Selling Steeplechase of 5 sous each, with 25 added.
Weight for age, with selling allowances. About two

miles. 8 subs.
Mr. Merry's Escape, by Faugh-a-ballagh (ao), list 71b
(G. Stevens) 1
Mr. Hoof's Hazard, aged (LP), 1 Ist 71b ...„ (C. Boyce) 2
Mr. Glass's Metal, aged (L. 50), list 71b (Owner) 3
The following also ran :—Slasher, Savernake, Shylock,
and Gourd.

Batting-6 to 4 agst Escape, 3to 1 agst Hazard, 4to 1
agst Savernake. Escape, in company with Savernake and
The Slasher, made the running, closely followed by Metal,
Shylock, and Gourd to the second fence, which was cleared
cleverly, as also the succeeding ones, but on reaching the
stake and bound in the rear of the stand, Shyloek blundered
and fell, but was 'speedily remounted and following on in
the rear. As they passed the stand Escape, Savernake,
and Hazard were at least upwards of twenty lengths ahead,
Gourd heading the rear division, the last of whom was
Shylock. On rounding the top of the hill Hazard passed
Escape, Savernake lying third, but on reaching the lane
Escape once more appeared in front, was never after caught,
and won in a canter by ten lengths. Savernake was stopped
at the brook and walked in, but did not pass the post; Me-
tal, who passed him half-way up the hill, was third. The
others came in some time after. The winner was sold to
Mr. Hitchins for 105 guineas, and goes into Nightingall's
stables at Epsom.
The Borough Members' Plate (Handicap), a sweepstakes
of 5 sous each, with 50 added by the members of the bo-
rough. Winners extra. About two miles and a half.
Mr. S. Jacobs's Glautias, aged, 9st 41b (Holmes) 1
Mr. Land's Oliver Twist, 5 yrs, 9st 121 b (J. Land) 2
Viscount de Namur's The Colonel, aged, list 71b
(Lamplugh) 0
The follawing also ran :—Borderer, Salthill, Sir Charles,
Prince Charming, Balzarine, and Little Monkey.
Betting-2 to 1 agst Oliver Twist, 4to 1 agst The Colonel,
sto 1 each agst Sir Charles and Prince Charming, and 6
to 1 agst Bal. arinc.

On settling into their places The Colonel took up the
running, followed by Oliver Twist and Little Monkey, the
others lying some distance in their rear, the last being Salt-
bill. On passing the hovel, at the foot of the hill, The
Colonel, with the favourite at his side, were upwards of
thirty lengths in advance of Little Monkey, who was third,
Borderer being fourth, Glautias fifth, and Balzarine next.
In this order they ran to the lane which Oliver Twist took
first, followed by the Frenchman, Borderer, Little Monkey,
and Glautias, Balzarine following next, and heading the
rear division, which at this early period of the race ap-
peared outpaced and bmten. At the fence beyond Bor-
derer made a mistake, and came to grief, and returned to
his stable; and at the water jump, which the leading horses
cleared in brilliant style, Little Monkey fell and got his
bridle off, and dragged Stevens some distance. Mr. Wood
on Balzarine, by jumping to the left, just avoided land-
ing on the fallen horse and rider. On passing the
Stand, The Colonel went on with the running, closely
attended upon by Oliver Twist and Glautias. Then
came, a long way behind, Balzarino, Prince Charming,
and Salthill. '1 he two latter refused the following
fence, and were taken home, Balzarine following suit
at the fence beyond. These mishaps left the race with the
trio in front, The Colonel apparently going free and strong,
having a slight lead, which he improved as they neared the
orchard enclosure, jumping which he blundered and fell, and
got away. Young Land, seeing the contretemps, made use
of his advantage, followed by Glautias to the fence, after
crossing the lane, when Oliver Twist struck a post, which
knocked him out of his stride, and "let up" Glautias, who
obtained a clear lead, was never after caught, and won in
a trot. Oliver Twist on reaching the brook was so leg weary
that he jumped into the centre of it, giving Johnny a cold
bath. The others did not go to the course, and returned to
their stables as best they could.

BETTING AT MANCHESTER, TUESDAY.

ported, the 2b to 1 wanted of yesterday being reduced to
1"0 to 7 (taken) ; Pancake and the Giraffe filly were
