SPORTING NOTES.—No. CCCLIII.
To-morrow, at Shrewsbury, is devoted to the Steeple
chase and Hurdle Races. The first race—grandiloi
quently set forth as the Shropshire Grand Anglia
Steeplechase, open to all England, with a water leap
opposite the stand, &c.—is of five sovs. each, two ft,
with seventy added, over about four miles of fair hunting
country. Of the dozen acceptances, in all probability
not more than six will be found at the post. Peter
made the top weight at list 71b,* which, however,
doubt his carrying successfully. Victress, at list, in-
eluding 71b extra for her victory the other day, has also,
to my fancy, got a little too much to carry. VainhnPei
at lOst 101 b, if in form and meant, is about the bes
thing in the race. Bourton, at lOst 81b, has no chanede,
whatever. Vengeance, at lOst' 41b, is not over-weights a
The gelding by Sir Hercules out of Lepida, Heroine, all f
the Emperor must give place to Young Sir Edward, .0
whom I observed the other day, in my remarks on the
Hunt Cup Steeplechase at Warwick, that his day
had not then arrived ; I think it now has. Litt 1°
Charley and Clatterbox have their chances disposedl
by Annie Laurie, who, at 9st 11b, ought to run very,:
lc
forward—in fact, obtain a place. Looking over the Ps T
if Mr. Vevers does not intend to attempt winning,l;
think YOUNG SIR EDWARD and ANNIE LAURIE qui
good enough to fill the first and second places.
The Hurdle Race of 40 sovs., added to a bandiesla
sweepstakes of 5 sovs. each, 1 ft. &c., over six flights °
hurdles, on a two mile and a quarter course, will, I Pr:
sume, be contested by about half of the acceptancefi

to be about the mark at the finish of the race. It boys
question, however, whether he is better than Tomb*
Ballet Girl, and Gaylad at the weights. He is certaisli
the best hurdle jumper of the lot, therefore I shall Plsel
him first ; and award the second place to Ballet Girl, 1
she runs ; in her absence Gaylad and Tomboy will Pr:,
bably be second and third. I perceive there is a f
shionably-bred horse that figured in the nominations
the last Derby, at the tail of the acceptances ; kn°lvi!r
' nothing_whatever about him, I must continue in the

lent mood with respect to his qualities.

The number allowed in at a time was unnecessarily
being limited to 700 per hour ; but we hope that a la, of
larger issue of tickets will be made during the rester
the week, the object, in the first place, having been toss',t,
tain how far the sacred edifice could be thrown open witb:de
impeding the thoroughfare. Some change must be 131.-no,
in the mode of granting the privilege of admissl,,yee
which, as will be seon, has led to great inconvenieln.
and abuse. Great eagerness was displayed to see theud
terior, and those who succeeded in doing so apP°
much astonished at the extent and effectiveness of ted
arrangements. Nor is this surprising. for we are a5,,911r io
that the amount of work got through within the t'risea
quite unexampled ; 2,000 loads of timber having '
used, and 6,000 feet of gaspipe, containing 7,500 Jets,
having been laid down.

adopting some regular and methodical arrangeos
whereby respectable persons applying might obtain stea
tickets, the officials to whom the matter was ilitreolva
have allowed the place to be beset by a disorderly 6r.,dis•
of the lower class, and to these the tickets were I_:,:jor
criminately handed, no name, address, or other Pai;bst
lars, being asked or given. The consequence wag,„;seci
might have been expected—the tickets thus °"".„-elisr
were hawked about in the neighbourhood of the e-„ifer
office and in St. Paul's churchyard by a set of
match sellers, and such-like vagrants, at half-a-el-et the
