Also started: Lone Hand, 12st. (J. Thorpe); tfatau, list. 2lbs. (C. Joyce); Sportsman, list. (Williams); Hawthorne, lOat. (Kaiser). Young Sledmere, lOat. (Lajcon), and Rawfnata, lOst. (Clifford). Morning Star, and Harkaway were scratched. Jim Munn was to have ridden Lone Hand, and had weighed out for that purpose, when Mr Llnabn'y protested against him on the ground tbat he (Munn) was under engagement to him for the meeting, to ride Matau, and that if he chose to put another man on the latter (as was tho case) Munn wai still bound by his engagement to him, and could not ride any other hoMO without his employer's consent. The stewards upheld Mr Linabury's protest, and J. Thorpe had to ride Lone Hand. We gave yesterday the bare result of the Steeplechase, and little else was possible tc bo given, as from start te finish the rain fell in torrents, and it was as much as th< onlookers could do to recognise the horses as they paaaed tUo Stand. The start was about a quarter of a milo above the Grand Stand, and about a hundred yards from an artificial jump composed of hurdles, with s heavy top rail with furze stuck in, th< whole making a vory pretty jump"; au< quite an easy one. Yot two of our cracl steeplechasers came to grief thus early-/ Hawthorne and Kawenata. Tho form* must havo rolled over his jockey—Kaiscrf as he was almost carried^ to the Steward? room and remained there insensible for bo* time. Clifford was soon up again on tp latter, and continued on his coure3 »• parcntly none the worse for his spi. That gigantic fraud, Lono H»nd, got opr last and baulked at the double hurdlein front of the stand, but _ fell through no first one at the second trial/and got aer the other somehow, but when ho came to tho made wall which forms the tfxt jump ho positively refused^ to try iti in spile of the good lead he hod from alUthe rest. After repeated (trials Thrpe brought him off. Meanwule Sportßjian, Young Sledmere, Ki/p Don, and Clarence in tho order, giwn were rattling round through tho wet, tocinc; their j/mpa without a mistake. Obey passed the stand in tho following order :—"Young Sledmoro hard hold first with Sportsman close in company; tben.carae KinelUon, going on in his usual (determined'style, and jumping liko a leer; and' atter him came Clarence, cvaently in trouble, what with tbe wet/and the weight. They went on up the 111 the second time without much changc,ixccpt that Sportsman got a head of abut a length from Young Slcdmere, whif tho old KiDg closed the gap between th«o tiro and himself considorably, thongh/ie w«s still 200 yds behind, with Clareiie the same distanco from him. . The juri> at the ridge before coming down th» curse was cleared by Sportsman, but Sldmere struck it with his hind legs and «tne down a cropper, wßilo Sportsman, tflng on alone, either fell or baulked (wteb, conld not be seen) at the double fece at the road, and King Don, fencin/ like a truo hunter, came on and won Is he liked by a quarter of a mile from Marcnce. Mr Morriu's win was a very/popular one, and was loudly cheered. \ Tun Stewards' hndioap of lOOeovs., with a bwoopstako of 3sffß. eaoh for acceptors, to KO to 2nd horse.
