TALLAGHT (COUNTY DUBLIN) STEEPLECHASES. 
Monday, Januaby 16. 
StbwARDS : W. Smnrtt, Esq., L. Rourko, Esq., J.* Cnvanagh, Esq. 
JunoK : Mr. G. I racy. Secretary and Treasurer : Mr. P. Faulk- 
ner. Clerk of the Course : Mr. J, Brady. 
Tins meeting, postponed from the 11th inst., in consenncnco 
of the inclemency of the weather, carno oil' on the nbovo date over 
a woll-Joid-out tract of country, the property of Mr. J. Ryan. 
Tho day, like that on which it was originally fixod to tnko place, 
was most unfavourable, heavy rain descending from tho com- 
mencement of the sport, and lasting till nil was over, which hod 
the etiect of causing a rather liraitod attendance, as a very select 
few were willing to have tho “ pelting of tho pitiless storm” for 
sxt least an hour’s drive from tho metropolis to Tallnght, which 
is quite out of the reach of rnilwny communication. Tho sport 
(a roturn of which will bo found in its proper place) commenced 
shortly after ono o'olock with tho Handicap, for which eleven 
out of tho twelve acceptors came to tho post, Madeline, who 
crossed tho channel for tho adjourned Stretford Stcoplcckascs 
about ton days book, being tho only absentee. The race turned 
out ono of tho most hollow affairs ever witnessed, being won in 
a common canter, by at least u dozen lengths, by a mere pony, 
named Lady Bird, a daughter of Humming Bird, by Skylark, 
who, after the many falls that took place, had little difficulty in 
disposing of Irish Nancy, over whom she possesses considerable 
speod. Tho once renowned Fanny Ellslcr was amongst the 
starters, but, unlike tho Fanny of old, she never onco showed in 
the race, and being rather “ groggy” on her fore legs, which ore 
deeply tired, fell and lost all chance. The old more was mode 
first fnvourito, being backed at ono time at almost evens against 
tho field, and leaving off ot tho price quoted, while tho winner 
was not even mentioned in the ring. Six donned the silk for 
the Cookstown Stakes, against which there has been a protest 
lodged by Denny Wynne, the particulars of which are fullv re- 
ferred to below. It extended to four heats, the second and fourth 
being won by n neat little mare, called Swallow; but whether she 
or Napoleon will be adjudged tho winner remains vet to he seen. 
Tho absence of a person in tho distance chair, we’necd scarcely 
remark, is scarcely pardonable on the part of the officials. A 
match for a *• tenner” was followed by the Sourrys, won ensilv 
by 31r. Rourke’e Gorryowon. The following are' the details of 
the running: —
