SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

BIRMINGHAM STEEPLECHASES—TuEsper.

Thoroughly tired with the monotony of the vacation
the majority of the racing fraternity evidently determined
to make a more than usually early start for the season.
Many well-known bookmakers and others invariably begin
"business" at Birmingham, but this year the numbers of
visitors of all classes from London, Manchester, and other
important provincial towns, was considerably augmented.
The Birmingham Meeting, however, judged on its own
merits, is now one of the most important and_prosperous
steeplechase meetings of the season,- thanks to the energy
which has always distinguished its management. The
programme promised capital sport, and it was apparently
considered more than ordinarily attractive, inasmuch as
there has seldom been such a strong muster of "the swells'
at an early meeting. Indeed the "fashionable arrivals"
were unusually strong on Monday night, the Duke of
Hamilton and other conspicuous and noble patrons of the
sport having reached Birmingham. Horses, too, were re-
perted to have come in in great numbers, and no little in-
terest was manifested when it was reported that the
whilom Liverpool Grand National Steeplechase favourite
Shakspeare arrived, and it became known that he would
run for the Grand Annual on Wednesday. All the hotels
were full, and at the "Queen's," although ninety beds
were made up, not so much as a " shake-down"
was procurable after an early period on Monday
afternoon. Heavy rain and a strong wind ushered
in Tuesday morning, and the worst fears were entertained
concerning the weather. Shortly after the breakfast hour
however, the sun broke through the clouds, the gale sub-
sided, and nothing could have been more delightfu
for the period of the season, than the sunshine and
keen air in which the reunion was inaugurated. There
was an immense attendance of the working population
and a crowded enclosure. It was a "scene" at the station
all the morning ; and though thousands went by the iron
route to Sutton Coldfield, the turnpike road was strongly
patroniSed by hansom cabs and traps of all denominations.
In the Stewards' enclosure and on the private stand we
noticed the Duke of Hamilton, Lord Stamford, Colonel
Knox, Mr. Reginald Herbert, Sir Robert Peel, Lord Pou-
lett, Mr. G. Bryan, and Mr. Carew. Among all these the
most cordial recognitions were reciprocated at the re-
commencement of a fresh season. Bookmakers wero
in strong force, and "shouting" was renewed with greatl
vigour. The course was in splendid condition, and, as wil
be seen, the fields were excellent throughout the after-
noon. Five chases were upon the card, the sport being
fixed to commence at half-past 1, and punctually at that
hour nine animals went to the post., and among them was
Dermot Asthore. A false impression was abroad to the
effect that Dermot could not run for this prize ; or that if
he did go to the post, and won, he would be liable to dis-
qualification. The cause of this erroneous belief was be-
cause the conditions stated that the Hunt Cup was only
for horses that had never won £lOO, whereas Dermot had
actually carried off a hurdle race at Lincoln Spring Meet-
ing. Steeplechase rules, however, have nothing to do with
hurdle racing and events on the fiat, and the 39th rule of
the Grand National Steeplechase Rules distinctly states
that " winners of hurdle races are not considered winners
in steeplechasing." Of the nine runners favouritism was
exclusively confined to 'relies and Tottie, as little as 7 to
2 being taken about Potter's greatly improved mare, and
4 to 1 about Tottie, who had the advantage of G. Holman's
services in the saddle. All the competitors were disposed
of excepting the t* favourites. who finished a complete
match. At the last fence but one it was so close a thing
that even money was betted between them, but Tottie, aftpr a
fine finish, won easily by a length and a half. Tottie, who
is a well-bred mare, was formerly trained at Epsom, and
she is likely to be useful to both her owner, Mr. Morgan,
and her present trainer, Holman. Sixteen horses were
entered for the Maiden Hunt Plate, and all of these, with
a single exception, went to the post, and the victory was
achieved by the favourite, Black Swan, who was appa-
rently backed for a good stake by her immediate party,
down to sto 1. The Sutton Handicap Plate brought out
eleven starters, and of these Aco of Hearts and Joker, the
representatives of Lord Poulett and the Duke of Hamilton,
were established favourites at the respective prices of 5 to
2 and 5 to 1, and to these the issue was confined, " the
Ace" winning, after a long and resolute finish, by a
length. Mr. George Ede thus signalised his return to the
saddle for the first time since his dreadful accident at
Croydon by a successful mount, and it was agreed was
never seen to better advantage. It is evident, despite the
critical condition he was in for weeks, that ho has not lost
an ounce of form, and he was warmly congratulated on the
result.

settled down to their work, the command was assumed by
Corkscrew, who at a good pace showed the way, Tottie
and The Guide being his immediate attendants, and Order,
Lady of the Vale, Lion, and Helice following, Dermot
Asthore bringing up the rear. Except that Helice dropped
into the rear no change occurred in the plough, and the
competitors disappeared from sight in the park in the order
mentioned. Corkscrew had still a commanding load on
emerging from the park, in which order Lady of the Vale
and Lion refused, and were not persevered. with. Ballysax
and Tottie were nearest to the leader until the fence pre-
ceding the Stand, on nearing which Tuttie rushed to the
front, and held a clear advantage passing the enclosure,
Guide, Ballysax, Corkscrew, Helice, and Dermot Ashore
being in close company. The field was further reduced
before reaching the plough by the bolting of Ballysax,
whose rider was unable to get him in the right track. In
the ploughed land Tottie took a long lead, and Helice
joined The Guide and,Corkscrew. Dermot Asthore, gra-
dually tailing oil, pulled up f, in the park. Corkscrew
fell soon after passing the house in the park, and The
Guide being in difficulties three-parts of a mile from home
the issue was left to the favourite and Tottie, of whom
the latter held the advantage to the last obstacle, which
the pair cleared abreast of each other. Helice was beaten
immediately on landing, and although Tottie had to be
ridden from the jump she won cleverly by three-quarters
of a length. Nothing else passed the post.

The Needy Mizzler following, Iconoclast being at the
head of the remainder, and Magenta acting as whipper-in.
When fairly in the ploughed land Black Swan was headed
by the Needy Mizzler, the favourite, Doubtful, and Icono-
clast being the most prominent of the others. Bagshot
disposed of his rider at the fence into the park, and went
on riderlow. Come Agin Ras in front when they ap-

peared in sight, but those mentioned above still formed
the leading division. The Needy Mizzler and Come
Again alternately led till tho third fence from home, when
Black Swan, who had always been prominent in the van,
took up the running, and won in a canter,by four lengths
from The Needy Mizzler, who defeated Como Again three
lengths for second place ; Captain was foul lb, beaten a
length, and The Gem was the only one of the others that
passed the post; Reveller, Ai mourer, and Militiaman fell;
the others refused. There was no advance upon the en-
tered selling price of the winner. Iconoclast was sold
after the race for £lO.

Blanche; La Pique, and Quicksilver, made play for about
two hundred yards, when the running was taken up by
Quicksilver, La Pique, and Ace of Hearts, following
slightly in their rear being Jack and Joker, Mariana and
Dictator bringing up the rear. In this order they passed
the Stand, and ran until reaching the ploughed land,
where The Dictator was so far in the rear that Ellison
pulled him up. Quicksilver led till leaching the path, tra-
versing the back stretch of which Joker was sent to the
front, La Pique, Ace of Hearts, Strike, and 'Jountess 8010
following in their rear. Half a mile from home Joker, the
favourite, La Pique, and Countess 8010 alone appeared in
the race with a chance of success. Joker was the first over
the last fence but one, on landing which La Pique was
beaten, and Count eas 8010 took her place in the rear of
the favourite. The last mentioned at the obstacle pre-
ceding the Stand was level with Joker, and obtaining the
advantage in the straight, Mr. Edwards kept him at it, and
won, after a punishing race, by a length. Countess 8010
was a bad third, La Pique, close up, next, Wisdom fifth,
and Quicksilver next. Lady Blanche and Jack walked
in, the others having pulled up. The winner was bought
in for 51 guineas.

Donna, Trueheart, and Troubadour succeeding, Mrs. Allan
and Ballycasey bringing up the rear. In the " plough" Ac e
of Hearts fell and throw Mr. Edwards, who was, however,
fortunately not hurt. Birdie led out of sight, but on re-
appearing Comberton had the command, Charming
Woman, Highflyer, Birdie, Franciscan, and Prima Donna
forming the leading division. Passing the Stand
Comberton, Highflyer, and Birdie were together, the fa-
vourite pulling double. At the turn he took the lead, the
field being aow widely scattered. Highflyer gradually in-
creased his advantage in the park, and on appearing in
sight three fences from home, he was fully thirty lengths
clear of Comberton, Huntsman being in close attendance
upon the latter. At the last fence but one he headed
Comberton, but the pursuit of Highflyer was hopeless, and
he won in a canter by twelve lengths. Trueheart was
fourth, Moose fifth, Franciscan sixth, Ballycasey seventh
Nothing else passed the post. Troubadour, Mrs. Allan
Prima Donna, Birdie, and Charming Woman all walked

TILE REFORM ACT AND RATES.—A large number
of weekly tenants have been summoned before Mr. Maude,
at W oolwich, who are called on for the first time to pay
rates under the provisions of the Reform Act. The Plea
they made was that the landlords would not deduct the
rates from the rent. Mr. Maudo said there would no
doubt be a great deal of hardship felt for some time to
come until the new law went on smoothly. If the landlord
originally agreed to pay the rates he believed he was still
liable to do so, though the tenant was made responsible to
the parish.
[AnvERTisEmENT.]-ITolloway's Pills and Ointment.—
During tho piercing winds and excessive variations of
temperature, every one is more or less liable to disease
either in the interior or at the surface. Throat, chest,
liver, bowels, kidneys, and skin all suffer in some degree,
and may be relieved by rubbing in this ointment, aided by
proper doses of the pills, for administering which full di-
rections accompany every box ; in truth, any one who tho-
roughly masters Holloway's "instructions" will, in remedy..
ing disease, exchange the labour of an hour for the benefit
of a lifetime. All bronchial, pulmonary, and throat dis-
orders require that the ointment should be thoroughly
well rubbed upon the skin twice a day with great regula-
rity, cmiderable DrigkAtlfigi eal much perliptonw.
