TATTERSALL'S-THURSDAY.

The first of the long and dull Thursdays for the season
may be said to have commenced this afternoon,as, owing to
the rain and the continuance of the Shrewsbury meeting,
only have a dozen subscribers were present ; and these being
professionals not a bet was made, and tho smaller muster
broke up early.

SHREWSBURY AUTUMN MEETING.
THURSDAY,

The Steeplechase day, the great holiday of the coun'ry
people, was unfortunately wet, and of course interfered
much with the attendance', which is generally large on this
occasion. the first three events call for no particular
notice. They were specimens of the usual racing one sees
at Shrewsbury towards the close of the meeting, and, in-
deed, the less said about them the better. A match be.
tween Hesper and Biondella over the throe furlong course,
in which the former gave Mr Naylor's mare 161 b, was a
mere gallop for Thellusson's new urchase, who will amply
repay the price given for him. The Copeland Nursery,
which last year was carried off by the splendid Irish colt
Blarney, since unfortunately turned out a roarer, fell to
that good animal Catalogue, who landed the Marquis of
Hastings's successful colours without being extended,—a
great performance for the top weight in heavy ground,
The Jenkirstown Handicap was not carried ofr by the giver
of the added money, Lady Hylda running very badly, and
not up to her Bedford form. Tho Lady Evelyn filly won
very cleverly.
Owing to the tedious delay at the post in the race for tho

Handicap Plate, during which Armadillo broke away and

ran the entire course no less than lout times, the Eteeplo-
chase was ran at an hour which precludes all remark

from us. It was a comparative failure, only four horses
going for il, and Express, who made all the running, won

in a canter.

Mr Frail has most injudiciously determined to have a
fifth day's racing to-morrow, for which we should imagine
few will feel inclined to stop, This is draining the cup to
the very dreg,.
