SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

SHREWSBURY RACES.-IVEDXESD.kY.

Ten events were on to-day's card for decision, a large
number, even taking into consideration the early hour, 12
o'clock, at which the sport commenced. We much question
the advantage of crowding so many races into one day.
The public money if divided among half the number
would ensure better fields and a higher class of animals.
The racing to-day was not of a character to call for any
particular comment from us. The Anglesey Nursery
brought 15 starters to the post, and afforded one of those
tedious delays, owing to the numerous false starts, that
two-yr-old races are celebrated for. The winner turned up
in an outsider, Pegasus, who, with Tomfoolery, and The
Tailor, the three placed, contrived to get such a start as to
leave, but a small chance for the others.

There was a good race for the Wynnstay Cup, which
was carried off by Buckland, to the discomfiture of the
favourites, Lord Burleigh and Livingstone ; and the
Column Handicap was won with ease by Bathilde.

It may be remarked that the losses tie fielders sustained
on the first day:were made up to them to-day, scarcely a
favourite landing his backers. There was an exception in
Mr. Ten Broeck's favour in the Marshmoor Handicap,
which Peignoir, the chosen one of " the talent," put to his
credit without difficulty.

dropped back, leaving Dolphin in attendance upon the old
mare to the stand, where he headed her and won very easily
by a length. Biondella finished a bad third. The favourite,
who got badly off, broke down badly in her off hind leg be-

flag was lowered to a straggling start, in which the favourite
obtained a clear lead, closely followed by Prescription, The
Tailor, Pegasus, Jessie, and Cosette in close company; the
others headed by Overcast, Belle of the Vale following
at wide intervals. On rounding the turn into the straight,
where the leaders ran rather wide, and in doing which
➢lr Kempson's filly lost considerable ground, Tom-
foolery and Prescription at the same time were joined
on the right by Pegasus, The Tailor, and Overcast, the lot
running together to the enclosure, where Prescription was

by Captain Crow, Jack of Hearts, Sea Nymph, and Despair,

lowed by Captain Crow, at whose girths came Jack of
Hearts, Sea Nymph, Balham, Tattoo, and Trap ; Despair
and Bathilde heading the next lot. As thay neared the
bottom turn Baiham's colours disappeared from their ad-
vanced position, followed in a few strides further by the fa-
vourite. On entering the straight Captain Crow dropped
back, and his place was taken by Bathilde, who waited till
half way up, when Grimshaw brought her to the front and
won very easily by two lengths, half h dozen lengths off

ran in these positions to the enclosure, where Queen Eliza-
beth came to the post, and won easily by a length and a
half ; a head between the second and third ; Lady Louisa
was fourth, close up, and Faretra fifth. The latter in her
