A GREAT FINISH. Sanguine admirers of racehorses are {says the ' Age') apt to declare their faith iu the prowess of their favorites by extravagant, figures of speech such as " Why, he can fall down and then win," but it is seldom that victory is achieved under such a handicap. The spectators at Caulfield on Saturday saw the feat performed in more sensational circumstances. For the Steeple chase the bay gelding Galway, by Boolka —TiUra, who was whispered about as " a good thing," was made a hot favorite «t 2 to 1. All went well with the field until the second of the treble in the straight was met, when Galway, who had not been jumping too well and was lying fourth, gave the fence a hard knock and came down. His rider, J. Smith, unlike most jockeys in the circumstances, was not con tent to regard his chance as hopeless and walk his horse back to the enclosure, but with the agility of a circus rider.he caught up the reins again, vaulted into the saddle from the wrong side, and started resolutely after his field, Warrior, who was in the lead, being about a furlong in advance at this stage. Smith could not get his stirrups, but nevertheless went pluckily at the last of the treble. The straps were flapping about the horse'* body, and the horse, doubtless through the insecurity of the rider's seat, was nearly down ag>in. Smith, however, held him together cleverly, and at last, getting his left and then hia right foot into the irons, he set out determinedly on what looked a hopeless chase. Naturally the movements of the favorite were watched with special interest by the crowd, and as he was seen to be gaining on tho leaders backers became greatly excited. As the horses swept past the six-furlong post Barbour, on Tapage, seemed to realise that the favorite, despite his fall, would be dangerous, and sent his mount along with an eight lengths' lead. Rorke's Drift, Warrior, Oak, and Glenview were still com fortably ahead of Galway as they com menced the railway stretch, but by vigorous riding Smith continued to reduce the gap between himself and his opponents, and when the leaders made the false rail Galway, Taj aud Rorke's Drift were on term?, with the favorite holding the advantage of the inside running.
