SPORTING NOTES.—No. CCCXL VI.
With the exception of the Steeplechase, every stake
yesterday attracted good fields to the post. The Scurry
Ltandicap, which led off the business of the afternoon,
realised its name by being a scurry, and nothing but a
scurry, from end to end. They started, anyhow ; and
Lathing was discovered to have any decided advantage
uutil a moiety of the course had been run, when the
two-year-old Mickey Free made a desperate drat to
obtain the lead, in which, howeve':, he tailed ; the four-
Years-old Jupiter—with sst 101 b on her back—came out,
and took the lead, though closely pressed by Mire Hill,
ilenrietta, Little Davie, and the Ithuriel filly, and was
not headed, and won a very closo race by a neck; Hen-
rietta beating Mire Hill a like distance for second place.
Little Davie and the Ithuriel filly were close up. The
rest, with the exception of Wee Wee and Mickey Free,
Were beaten off; and Dacony put his chance out by
throwing young Primer at ettirting.
The Optional Selling Stakes was won by that very
useful animal, Needle, after tin exciting struggle for the
last hundred yards with True Girl and Henrietta, by a
head ; the last-named animal losing the second place by
short neck. The remaining four were beaten into fits.
The winner entered to be sold for 40 soya. fetched 135
guineas ; consequently realising for the fund 1151. 155.
The Steeple Chase was a very uninteresting
affair, as Carrig had it all his own way from end to
end ; Victress being got rid of by a fall at the brook,
and the General shortly afterwards, also by a fall. The
only opponent that the winner had left in the race was
Bourton, who was outplaccd from the start.
The Anitree Stakes came off preci!ely as I anticipated,
ray selection, Truth, having won without any difficulty,
though seemingly a close race at the finish, by half a
length. Fuze receiving 2st 11b for the year obtaining
the second place. Royal George was third, leading a
batch of three or four. This race brought the meeting
to a conclusion.
With the exception of the Steeple Chase and Hurdle
Alice, the Stakes produced good fields e,nd plenty of
sport, and the meeting may, on the whole, be considered
4 successful one. _

The authorities of Shrewsbury have Tdut forth a first-
rate bill of fare for their autumnal gathering on the 23d
and 24th instant. The principal stakes have unusually
strong entries: the number being, for the Shrewsbury
Parldicap thirty-four, and for the Column Handicap
oily. six.
Steeple-chasing, somehow or other, does not seem
quite so successful this year as her etofore, the entries
411 d acceptances for the steeple-chas es being decidedly
small; aind Shrewsbury will form no exception to this
