GREAT STEEPLE CHASE FOR 2,000 SOVEREIGNS.
Friday, this interesting match, which for some months has
excited the attention of all the sporting classes, and on which more
money has been betted than on any similar event for many years,
was decided at Melton Mowbray. The match was between Lord
Kennedy and Captain Ross, to ride from Barkby Holt to Billesdon
Coplow (two covers in the Quorndon Hunt), a distance of five
Odin as the crow files; Captain Ross to ride for himself, and
Captain Ciouglas for his Lordship. The betting on the match has
been at even` though in some instances six to five have been laid
en Captain Ross. At an early hour on Friday morning, a numerous
concourse of sportsmen, including all the Members of the different
Hunts about Melton Mowbray, were at I3arkby Holt, to witness
the start ; and a neck and neck race was anticipated by those who
knew the qualities of the horses and their riders, but that expec-*
tattoo was completely disappointed. At a signal given by the
umpires, the parties started, at a tertible slashing pace, Captain R.
leading ; at the first fence in his route, Captain Douglass made a
leap, but his horse, not clearing it, fell; nothing daunted, be again
dashed at the fence, but a second time fell, and this decided the
race at once—he was seen no more in it. Captain Boss, on the
contrary, made a straight forward course across the country, to the
winning point, and having it all his own way, cleared his leaps, and
wen, of course, without a struggle. The result disappointed hun-
dreds. Immense sums are lost on the occasion.
