SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

SHREWSBURY RACES.-.WEDNESDAY.

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 touch 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 %Heigh and Livingstone ; and the
Column Handicap was won with ease by Bathilde.
It may be remarked that the losses the fielders sustained
on the first day:were made up to them to-day, scarcely a
favourite landing his backers. There was an exception in
11.1 r. Ten Broeck's favour in the Marshmoor Handicap,
which Peignoir, the chosen one of " the talent," put to his
credit without difficulty.
