SPORTING NOTES.—No. CCCXLVI.
With the exception of the Steeplechase, every stake
Yesterday.,.. attracted good fields to the post. The Scurry
"landiosp, which led off the business of the afternoon,
realised its name by being a scurry, and nothing but a
aeurry, from end to end. They started, anyhow ; and
~tic'thing was discovered to have any decided advantage
a moiety of the course had been run, when the
*wo-year-old Mickey Free made a desperate effort to
Obtain the lead, in which, however, he failed ; the four-
Years-old Jupiter—with sst 101 b on her back—came out,
1„t12,(1 took the lead, though closely pressed by Mire Hill,
Henrietta, Little Davie, and the Ithuriel filly, and was
not headed, and won a very close 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
test, with the exception of Wee Wee and Mickey Free,
Were beaten off; and Dacony put his chance out by
thr •
owing young Primer at starting.
The Optional Selling Stakes was won by that very
useful animal, Needle, after an 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. 15s.
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
4ourton, who was outplaced from the start.
The Anitree Stakes name off precisely as I anticipated,
tY selection, Truth, having won without any difficulty,
though seemingly a close race at the finish, by half a
length. Fuze receiving tat llb for the year obtaining
the
second place. Royal George was third, leading a
batch of three or four. This race brought the meeting
IQ a conclusion.
With the exception of the Steeple Chase and Hurdle
Race, the Stakes produced good fields and plenty of
Port, and the meeting may, on the whole, be considered
_
Successful one.
The authorities of Shrewsbury have put forth a first-
rate
bill of fare for their autumnal gathering on the 23d
strong
24th instant. The priccipal stakes have unusually
)14.1 entries: the number being, for the Shrewsbury
FttOdicap thirty-four, and for the Column Handicap
c/t„tY• six.
?teeple-chasing, somehow or other, does not seem
itlte so successful this year as heretofore, the entries
small accetances for the steeple-chases being decidedly
and Shrewsbury will form no exception to this
evle• This decadence in the neck-or-nothing sport is
i,'eently entirely owing to the very doubtful proceed-
lags of many of the persons connected with it. The
