STEEPLECHASES.

[BY ARGUE]

Those who visit Fanting on Monday next for the steeplechase meeting, should witness a capital afternoon's sport with helds well up to the average.

The first event is open to ponies which have started at Kwanti steeplechases and

not won!

There are eleven entries and at least sight of them are expected to go to the post. They are October, Drake, Egbert, Racehorse. Harford, New York, Emperor and Zircon.

The Fanling Hunt Steeplechase, second on the card, has attracted eleve, but a small field may be anticipated The hanilicappers have put a "plaster of 175 lbs. each on John Smith, Cheriton Vale and Reynolds, but I expect to see the second named in the field, with bis old pilot Mrs. Bower in the saddle.

Spaghetti, Smart Gay, Prairie Oyster, Curlew Dahlia and Two Pairs will prob Fably be sent here and possibly Racehorse

in preference to the previous race.

THE BIG, EVENT.

The big event comes next, the Open Steeplechase. The entries are John Smith, Cheriton Vale, Reynolds, Pongo, Tam. More Better, Jambu and Country Mouse.

A $20,000 sweepstake, at one dollar a ticket is being rud' in connection with this race. The prizes are as follow:

First

$10,500

Second

Third

3,000 1.500 Y

Unplaced starters divided. 1,000 Commission

4,000

$20,000

The tickets are nearly sold out, so that the new venture has proved attractive. If Mrs. Paterson decides to start both her ponics, the field may well be: John Smith, Cheriton Vale, Reynolds, Pongo, More Better, Tam," Jambu, «Country Mouse and possibly Emperor.

"However, I doubt More Better being stat for this event, in view of the United Services Race where, a 14 b. penalty should not trouble him unless Pongo or Bertram can beat him.

In the case of More Better the owner, Mr. Wright-Neville, was unaware of the pony's actual same when he purchased hin and entered him as the Chinese New Year meeting. At the annual ixture of the H.K.J.C, the matter was seriously discussed and had the pony run into place money and an objection been lodged there is little doubt that, the Stewards could only have given one decision.

There is a very sound reason for the rule regarding the "change of names of nevetirace-ponies and nothing to be said in favour of allowing owners knowingly to break it.
