THE DEEBY STAKES

Of 259 soys. For three-year-old colts (&t. 7) fillies (Bst. 4) ooe mile and a half, was won by Mr. G. Watson's b f Flying Colors, against Corsair (second), Bonny Rose (third), and the Premier. Time, 3 mm. 2 sees.

The Free Handicap was the most exciting of all the six events. Wildrake, Flying Jib, Lodden, and Flying Colours were declared not to Btart, and Pheebe took a first favorite's place in the betting; Lucy Glitters being tbougbt next best. Mr. Youille's mare, however, took the lead from end to end, and not a little grumbling was heard at the customary false starts, which were so provoking. There were, of course, plenty of persons to say that the handicapping was the best point in Lucy Glitters' favor; but those who made Phoebe the favorite with 9st. 12lb. on her back, may perhaps be able to explain something. The lightest weighted of the lot, Shepherdess, was the last to start, and did not appear in the race. The time was good, and two seconds shorter than that of Buzzard in the same race last year.

Lucy Glitters sprang off with the lead, which she kept from end to end. Among the crowd of horses following her were Othello, Tranby, and Stormy Petrel, who were continually changing places. Flatcatcher at one time made a splendid effort, and actually held a second place for a few seconds. In coming into the straight running Partisan got a little forward. Shepherdess was left behind from the start, and fell within the last three-quarters of a mile. Stormy Petrel made a game attempt towards the last, but nevei actually disturbed the winner. Time, 2inin. 50 sec.

A. Handicap Hurdle Race won by Mr. Keys's gr m Modesty, and the Scurry Stakes by Mr Payne's br m Brunette, closed the first day's proceedings. Second Day.—October 26th, For the Jockey Club Sweepstakes there were but three horses, Mr. Duppa having reserved Phebe for some other engagement. Flying Colors was a tremendous favorite, and two to one, and three to two, were laid upon her against the field, her party being extremely sweet after her easy victory on the preceding day. This race was the best of the meeting, the horses kept together all the way round, and Othello, who led throughout, won by half a length, after a splendid race. JOCKEY CLUB SWEEPSTAKES.

Betting: 2 to 1 on Flying Colors; 2 to 1 agst Othello. An excellent stare was effected, Othello at once going to the front, Wildrake lying second, and Flying Colors third; bat at the first turn the filly passed Wildrake, and in these positions they rattled along at a good pace for two miles, not more than three lengths separating the first from the third.. At the caminencement of the third mile Wildrake made play and soon passed the favorite, but was unable to collar Othello, who still retained1 a clear lead, and apparently without any great exertions. At two miles and a half FlyiDg Colors made another effort, and succeeded in passing Wildrake, but she soon fell off again, and before the last turn was reached she was beaten. A slashing race now commenced between Othello and Wildrake, tbe former retaining a lead of a length until opposite the staad, when Kay made a final rush, snd Wildrake was beaten by a neck. Time, 5 mm. 57 sec.

The Great Metropolitan Handicap brought nine horses to the post, out of the thirteen originally entered. Flatcatcher, Othello, and Haphazard being reserved, while Huntsman had gone amiss a week before. A considerable amount of interest attached to this race from the fact that it was the first public appearance of Flying Jib after his year's spell. As a two year old he won everything before him, but having gone wrong during his preparation for the First Champion Sweepstakes, he retired from the turf during his three year old season. Although not particularly fit, he ran a good second, yesterday, and showed that he had not lost any of his did dash of speed. Buzzard was a great favorite, and despite his rumored lameness, was backed at 2to 1. Fortress, a dark mare belonging to Mr. Cbairnside, was a great "pot," but cut up wretchedly. Gaffer Grey, the winner was not at all fancied, it being rumored that he had been beaten by Bob in private trials, and the wretched manner in which that animal ran, completely discouraged all who were inclined to back the " dangerous grey." The race after the first mile was left to "the Gaffer," Flying Jib, Buzzard, and Attila, the former winning easily, and Buzzard beating Attila by a length. The Junior Stakes fell to Dauntless, after the unlucky accident whioh is alluded to below.

The Selling Stakes were carried off by Haphazard, Yankee running second, and Modesty added another to her many victories in the Hurdle race.

The only contretemps which occurred during the day was the accident which severely injured Joe Garter, m& will, most probably cost Bonny Rose her life. lv the Junior Stakes the mare while goiug at full speed crossed her feet, throwing Carter heavily. Neither mau nor horse could stir, and when assistance was procured it was found that poor Joe had broken his collar-bone, and that the mare was unable to rise. The mau was promptly conveyed to the Racecourse hotel. A veterinary surgeon being sent for, Mr Anthony Green arrived and pronounced that the mare had broken her pelvis, and that her hind-quarters were paralyzed. She was at once moved off the course, and a consultation having been held as to what course was best to follow, her owner decided—although the general feeling was that she could not live through the night—upon having her removed to Mr. Coleraau'a stables. Her value as a brood mare induced the adoption of this course, as it is quite certain that under no^ircumstances can she race again. A wool cart was sent for from town, and she was taken home with as little jolting as possible. Bonny Rose had not been very fortunate in her career on the turf. She is by Warhawk out of Rosebud. As a two-year-old she run but once, when, she finished second to Dauntless in the Saplings, At th? end. of the

season Mr. J. R; Go well .purchased her racing for a year, and- she was entered for the Sydney Champion Race. While in training she went wrong and was.scratched, and her first appearance in public was on Thursday in the Derby, when her fractiousness caused her to be left at the post. Bonny Rose was heavily engaged in all the three-year-old races of the season. Carter has been very unlucky lately, having been run into by a railway train on the Sydney Champion raoe day, while in charge of Mainstay, and having been much hurt the same afternoon when Strop fell dead under him.

For the third day Pheebe and Wildrake entered for the City Plate, 100 soys. Entrance 5 soys. Two] miles: and the Corporation Cup, value 50 soys., and Handicap Sweestakes of 3 soys each, If miles; the result of which has not reached us.
