SALISBURY.

RACES.
These races took place on Thursday and Friday last,
under the stewardship of Lord H. Thyme, with un-
precedented elleoollll, both as regards sport and company,
notwithstanding the coldnem of the weather. Ih.

tween Newmarket Spring and Chester, will hereafter be
persevered in as it will ensure the attendance of both
' man and horse,' and if brought forward • day or two sic.
her in the week, would be even more satisfactory." The
same authority states that the sale of Lord nibbles-
dales stud on Thursday, including! Happy Land, North-
ampton, and others, ass an additional source of attrao-
tion, and the White Hart Yard, in which the various
lots were put up, was crowded with turfltos, among
whom were Lord Portsmouth, Lord H. Thynne, Lord
Ribblesdale, Lord R. Clinton, Hon. Admiral RAIN

'Owing to the distant* and the hilly nature of the
road from the city to the course, every available vehicle
had to be brought into requsition for the visitors, and
many of them had to tramp it, to their unutterable an-
noyanoe. The card which has been much improved by
the liberal contributions of the members, as well as the
neigbouring aristocrocy and gentry, presented so great •
contrast to what is usually seen here as hardly to be re.
cognised by the regular frequenters of the meeting ; and
produoed moreover one of the beet day's sport that
could possibly be desired, the racing besides remarkable
for a couple of dead heats for the opening event, being
throughout of • very close and exciting character.
With the C Plate the sport began, and so good
was the handicap that the judge was obliged to declare
a dead heat with three, an unusual circumstance on •
country course. The City Bowl brought out a dome
runners. Head Knowledge being made the favourite.
She ran nowhere, however, and the race from We dis-
tance was entirely between Norma and Odd Fellow , the
former, trained by Edward Day, and well ridden by
Cadence, defeated the Woodyates colt by half a length.
The Wiltshire Stakes came next, and created more in-
terest than any other event of the day. Nine runners were
telegraphed, but Borderer, Odd Trick, and Tame Deer en-
grossed the whole of the betting. The race was run at •
good steady pace throughout, Borderer, who laid in front
all the way being caught at the stand by Sentinel, and,
after a close struggle, beaten by a head. Mr. Payne, it
was stated, backed his horse for a mere trite, as he did
not consider him good enough to stand upon, and his
friends entertained the same views as himself. For the
Two Year Old Biennial seven out of the ten nominations
were stripped, the Truth colt being made the favourite,
said backed almost against the field. Schism was next
hi request, from the recollection of her Shrewsbury per.
formanoe as a yearling, and after • fine race Fordhas
besting
the value of his services to the Woodyates stable
the favourite, who lost start, by halts length.
During the race, strange to relate, Watchdog threw up
his bead, and suddenly lost the sight of both his eyes—•
circumstance, we believe, without precedent in racing.
The colt, we may add, was got by a blind horse, Safe-
guard, who is now deceased, and to this cause, perhaps,
in some measure the calamity may be attributed. The
Stewards' Plate brought out eleven runners, and Bather'
Inc Logic was made • great "pot" but the mare sadly
belied her pretensions, and after • pretty finish Bray
landed Kilbride the winner by three quarters of • length,
Stapleton beating Lord Anglesey's Cambridgeshire favor-
ite by a length. The success of Mr. Campbell Wynd.ham
who is • warm supporter of the Turf in Wiltshire, and
a great friend to the meeting, was warmly welcomed by
his friends. Happy Land, with Alfred Day on his hack,
haring walked over for the Three Year Old Biennial;
the dead heat for the Craven Plate, was run off by Pin-
'ticker, Polly Johnson and Bar One. Bar One was the
favourite, but was beaten easily, and amidst universal
surprise a second dead heat between the other two was
declared! Neither owner being anxious to divide this
valuable prize of forty-eight pounds, • "third innings'
was "called" and after an equally fine race, Pinaticker
—• real sticker—achieved a hard-earned victory by half
a length, wherewith concluded the best day's races ever
witnessed on the Wiltshire Downe.
On Friday the course was well attended, and the sport
hilly equal to that of the first day, resulting likewise in
the defeat of almost every favourite. The success of
Schiedam over Kelpie, for the Queen's Plate, created a
sensation, and Dent Mr. Parr's horse to the right-about
for the Chester Cup.
