SALISBURY RACES.-THURSDAY.

Few south country meetings are more enjoyable than the
gathering held in the neighbourhood of Salisbury on the
Wiltshire hills. The weather was extremely hot, remind-
ing one of the near approach of midsummer. The attend-
ance was very large, and included most of the aristocracy
of the neighbourhood, the course being lined with fashion-
able equipages, the majority of the occupants being ladies.
Six races stood for decision, the first being set for two
o'clock, when eight numbers were hoisted for the Craven
Plate. Ten to one was offered on the field, bar two,
Crytheia and Viceroy, and the pair had the finish to them-
selves. Mr Brayley, in the succeeding race, the City Bowl,
provided a " hot ,un," the Codicil gelding, about whom the
talent took 5 to 4, but the " good thing" was upset by
the curiously-named Kill'em and Eat'em, whose sale
brought 110 sovs to the fund. Though 14 were coloured
on the card for the " plum" of the meeting, the Wiltshire
Stakes, only five went to the post. The first favourite,
Bradamante, again only gained second honours, the Dane-
bury stable, with their proverbial luck at Salisbury,
throwing in with Raglan, who, though apparently in diffi-
culties at the distance, defeated the favourite by a length.
The Selling Sweepstakes was won by the favourite, Heir-
at-Law. The Old Castle Stakes fell to Guardsman, Dane-
bury running second and third. As usual at Salisbury the
Derby betting took a lively turn. Frequent inquiries for
Gladiateur established him firmly first favourite-6 to 1
being the highest offer. The Duke was firm at 7 to 1
taken ; but some ominous movements in connection with
Kangaroo soon drove him to 1,000 to 15 offered, which
price was also offered against Koenig. 1,000 to 20 was
taken baout Chattanooga, and 22 to 1 was offered against
the north country pet Oppressor. The day's running is
fully described below :

The Craven Plate (Handicap) of 50 sovs, for three-yr-olds
and upwards ; winners extra. Five furlongs.

Betting-7 to 4 agst Crytheia, 2to 1 agst Viceroy, and
10 to 1 agst Teddy. After one failure they were capitally
started, Teddy, with Kathleen, Jassy, and Lay Sister on
his left, and Viceroy and Crytheia wide on his right, made
play for half the distance, where Viceroy, closely attended
by Crytheia, 'took up the running. The latter struggled
vigorously from the distance to overhaul Viceroy, whom,
however, she could never reach, and was beaten by a length.
Three lengths separated the second and third, Jassy was a
bad fourth, Lay Sister fifth, Irish Mail sixth, Nebula
seventh, and Kathleen last.

The Tadmor filly made play, followed closely by the Co-

until approaching the distance, where Kill'em and Eat'em
quitted his opponents, and won easily by a length and a
half ; three lengths separated the second and third ; and
half a length divided the third and fourth ; Hecate was
fifth, Warminster sixth, the Tadmor filly seventh, and

to 15 each agst Pelios and Young Kingston, and 100 to 8

fell, and took no part in the race. Pelios went away at his
best pace, and quickly obtained a lead of 50 yards, Raglan
proceeding second, Young Kingston third, and Brada-
mante last, for more than a mile, when Bradamante ex-
changed places with Young Kingston. Pelios maintained
a long lead until half a mile from home, when Bradamante
and Raglan headed Pelios, the pair running home an ex-
citing race to the half-distance, where Raglan had his
opponent beaten, and coming away, won easily by a length.
Pelios beaten 100 yards, was third, and Young Kingston
cantered in some time afterwards.

The Salisbury Stakes, a sweepstakes of 10 sous each, with
50 added, for 2-yr-olds ; colts, Bst 101 b ; fillies, Bst 61b ;

Betting—Even on Salisbury, 3 to 1 agst Lady Audley,
and 100 to 8 bar two. A slight delay occurred at the post,
Accountant in all the failures bolting out of the course.
Ultimately a good start was made, and almost immediately
after the flag fell Salisbury ran to the fore, and, maintain-
ing the front position throughout, won cleverly by two
lengths. Three-quarters of a length separated the second
and third. Matilda was fourth, Mariana fifth, the Vera
filly sixth, Bitter Sweet and Accountant, side by side, next;
the Rebecca filly being ninth and the Stinger last.

TAT TERSALLSI-THURSDAY.

The " off-day " has seldom any inducements for the spe-
culative portion of racing men to pay a visit to the great
rendezvous, and it was therefore not to be expected that the
subscription-room would be largely patronised to-day, with
such counter attractions as a Royal Drawing-room and the
Salisbury meeting. The few members who did pay a visit
to the " New Tattersalls' " had some difficulty in backing
their " fancies," owing to the paucity of book-makers, the
latter no doubt finding something more congenial to their
tastes on Salisbury Plain. A few bets certainly were laid,
but except in the case of Kangaroo there was no variation
from the current prices elsewhere. The " betting on the
course" at Salisbury announced that 1,000 to 10 was laid
against Kangaroo, but about the same period 1,000 to 40 was
accepted at Knightsbridge. The following short list of
prices was compiled when the majority had left the room :

THE DERBY.
200 to 30 agst The Duke (taken)
11 to 1 agst Breadalbane (taken)
12 to 1 agst Broomielaw (offered)
100 to 6 agst Longdown (taken)
1000 to 40 agst Kangaroo (taken)
1000 to 30 Zambezi (taken)
1000 t•o 30 agst Chattanooga (taken)
1000 to 10 agst Audax (taken)
