SHREWSBURY AUTUMN MEETING.
TUESDAY.

This meeting, the wind-up of fiat racing for the year,
commenced yesterday. The weather for some days pre-
viously had been unusually severe, and doubts were enter-
tained as to whether a postponement would not be rendered
necessary, and up to the time fixed for the not race these
apprehensions seemed likely to be realised. The sun, how-
ever, gave oat in " great face" towards mid-day, and Jack
Frost was compelled to beat a retreat at the sacrifice of
half-an-hour's delay at the commencement. The fields were
of a fair average, and the racing good. Full details of the
running will be found below.
