WORCESTER STEEPLE CHASE

On Monday this affair came off. About two o'clock, (the
appointed hour,) Mr. Tolley and his `• javelin men," cleared
the lines of the dense masses of lookers-on ; but a full hour
was then frittred away, and it was not till after thin that the
bell rang for saddling ; the following nine appeared before
the stand ; and just previous to the start, Lottery (the
favourite), and Anonymous were declared not to run, Mr.
Elmore seeming inclined to win by Gay Lad—alas for human
calculations!

'The Royal Birthday Stakes, of 25 sous. each, 15 forfeit,
and 5 only if declared, &c., with 150 added.
Mr. Quartermaine's b h Roderick Random.. A. M`Donough 1

Betting : 5 to 2 about Gay Lad ; 6 to 1 against Roderick
(taken) ;10to 1 against Tally-ho (taken in considerable
amounts); 10 to 1 against Forty-two, who had also been a
good deal backed ; sto 4 on Eltnore's lot against the field
(taken several times and to great amounts); 6 to 1 against
Peter Simple; and 7 to 1 against Sam Weller.
This race (four miles, as before stated,) was accomplished
in eleven minutes.

An interval of an hour and a-half having taken place,
during which we observed an extensive assortment of long
faces, the next race came ofl.

with 50 sovs. added.

The lot were brciught up by Ludlow to the first fence,
which was refused by Bob Acres, and Railroad having come
in contact with him at the fencing, Bobby was floored, and
'thenceforward lost all chance; Spring Flower then tookup
the running; Railroad's station was in the rear throughout,

and it was quite clear that his "-steam was not up;'' the
lead was maintained by Spring Flower, uninterruptedly as
we could perceive, " by flood and field," till within 200 yards
of the winning-post, up to which point she had looked ex-
tremely like a winner ; here however she refused the gorse
(the last fence), and was passed by Tommy ; Tommy how-
ever was speedily collared by Ten-pound-no-object, who hi-
therto had certainly been considered no object in the least.
An extremely exciting and beautiful race ensued, the chesnut
being the winner by about a length. Railroad (the favourite)
was non est, and it appeared by sundry unmistakeable marks
when they did come in, that both Railroad and Ludlow bad
" kissed mother earth" in some pulpy part of the Moors.
This race was done in 13 minutes.
Betting : 2 to 1, freely offered, on Railroad ; 5 to 1 against
Bob Acres ; 5 to 1 against Charles- the Twelfth ; 10 to 1
.against Tommy ; 10 to 1 against Spring Flower; and long
odds against Bravo. But the grand peculiarity was that the
winner had scarcely been mentioned. Oh, the " glorious
uncertainty" of favouritism !

Thus terminated the stirring events of the field, which had
excited an uncommon interest throughout.
