THE CARMARTHENSHIRE HUNT STEEPLECHASES. Delayed for a day by a heavy fall of snow.,these ajinual races were brought off successfully on Thursday and Friday. Owing, no doubt, to the fact that a number of the visitors had gone away in the belief that there would be no racing, the attendance on the first day was only meagre, but excellent sport was witnessed, several of the finishes being well worth seeing. Among the company present were: Sir Marteine Lloyd, Bart. Bronwydd; Mr. D .Prothero, Glyntaf; Mr. R. H. Harries, M.F.H., St. Clears; Major Glascott. Saundersfoot; Dr. Lawrence, Narberth; Mr. W. S. G.

Harmon's Sloe Gin made her first appearance under National Hunt Rules, find did backers a good turn by securing an easy victory. She is a six Jear-old mare, and was bought by her present owner from Mr G.Phelps, Cresselly. Pembroke, last August. For the Talley ho Selling Steeplechase there were seven horses brought out, the largest field of the day. What Next was backed like a certainty, but with the race half run he fell, and brought down Crauta- caun also. This left Rosethorpe with a clear way, but V .Francis never ceased persevering on Hack- mount, and he went ahead from the last fence and won by a short neck. He was, however, so distressed that he rolled about, and was thought guilty of both crossing and boring Rosethorpe hut the subsequent objection was over-ruled by the (stewards. The Derllvs Selling Handicap Hurdle Race only brought out four runners, Mr. D. Harrison's The Lieutenant, being made fav- ourite. The issue was a win for Mr. Hereford's Usher, which made practically the whole of the running. A capital finish was witnessed in the Llanelly Hunters' Hurdle Race, in which Mr. W. H. Rees's King's Colour, one of the most beau- tifully shaped horses ever seen on the course, won bv half a length from the Hon. Colwyn Philipps s Starlight VIII.
