THE PRETTIEsT EXHIBITION
OF Yesterday was the steeplechaSe. two
miles over the hurdles for $3.50 purse.
The entries were Z. F. Burnside's Gov.
Bowie: a. w. Bedford's Hattie, and
the same gentleman's Parkhill. Burn
sides rode his own horse at $50 pounds.
Bedford rode hattie at reputed weight
of I6O pounds. though he in reality car
Tied 166. Gardner who rode Parkhill.
weighed out at $50 pounds. The race
was on a turf course marked out by red
flags, of which sufficient number were
set out on this occasion TO rerder mis-
understanding by the judges attribut-
able TO color blindness only. They
started at option with Hattie heavily
handicapped making the pace. Gov.
Bowie and Parkhill lost a length in the
recover from the first fence. Hattie
fenced well, being we'll lifted to her
iumps. The governor under Burn
sides being also well handled and jump
ing safely. Gardner's idea of riding
steeplechase is somewhat unique. and,
but for the safety OF Parkhill's fenc-
ing might have proved disaS-
trous TO both that gentleman
and his mount. Parkhill was
cracked at every fence at a speed which
would have been good for a place in
/ last years st. LegeT. The horse didn't
gather to a single jump. but took every
! thing in his stride, and more by good
| luck than anything got through safe and
a winner. Several top rails went up in
the first mile, with Parkhurst almost
coming a cropper at the last fence.
| Gov. Bowie refused the first hurdle in
/ the last fight. and lost his chance 70 win
by the Job. In the open Parkhill led
by three lengths. and it was here that
Bidgood's superiority in the saddle was
apparent. In spite OF the weight she
! carried, HoIlie came down the stretch
gaining at every stride, both riders US
ing whip and spur. With three lengths
further to go it would have been HOl-
| lies race. She couldn't make the dis
! tance at her disadvantage. however,
| Parkhill beating her by a length, Gov.
Bowie coming third. Time, 4:o4.
