Defender and Everlasting- also ran.
Betting-3 to lon Violet and 7to 2 agst Everlasting.
After going a few strides Everlasting went to the front
and led to the turn fur home, where Pearson sat back in
his saddle and endeavoured with all his might to stop her,
it evidently not being "Everlasting's day;" Violet then
had no difficulty in accomplishing the task, as she came
in an easy winner by four lengths. Everlasting came past
the post third, Defender having been beaten off all the
way.

added, from 3-yr-olds and upwards ; winners extra. One

The following also ran :—Kingston, Cygnet, Comman-
der, and Sweet Jessamine.

Betting-7 to 4on Abron, 4to 1 agst Commander, sto
1 agst Acton.

The favourite went off with the lead, having Commander
and Sweet Jessamine in the rear, and in that position the
two remained, for it was evident that neither was wanted ;
for never (in the palmy days of Shrewsbury) was there
ever seen a more deliberate piece of Captain Armstrong's
riding than on this occasion ; for Pearson, on Commander,
when rounding the bottom turn, held his horse in with all
his might, whilst Locklin, on Captain Christie's filly, ap-
peared to be doing all he could to keep in the rear ; thereby
leaving the race in Abron's favour, who won in the easiest
manner by a length; Kington and Cygnet were the tw•
next, the others nowhere.

The Shropshire Handicap of 15 sovs each, with 100 added,
for 3-yr-olds and upwards; winners extra; certain al-
lowances. Second horse to save his stake. About a mile

Over the New Course.
Mr. B. Land's Duhallow, 6 yrs, lOst 111 b (Mr. Martin) 1
Mr. S. Jacob's Glautias, aged, 9st 41b (Headland) 2

Romeo also ran.

Betting-5 to 4 agst Duhallow, 7to 4 agst Glautias, 2to
1 agst Romeo.

The three ran abreast to the first fence opposite the
cow shed on the far side of the course, which Duhallow
cleared slightly in advance of Rome, Glautias half a
length in the rear; in the above order they cleared the
hurdles and passed the stand, Romeo dwelling on leaping
over his fences, and losing thereby several lengths; on
rounding the Red House turn the three again took close
order, and went along the bottom of the course and out of
sight side by side. On again reappearing Glautias was
second, Romeo several lengths behind. At the stiff fence
opposite the half-mile post, Romeo came to grief, dislodg-
ing Bennett, who afterwards remounted him and walked
him into the paddock. After this Duhallow still continued
with a slight lead until entering the straight, where the
light weight went/up to Duhallow, and a fine race ensued,
each maintaining his position, stride by stride, past the
inclosure, to within half a dazen strides of the chair,
when Headland dropped his whip, and Glautias at once
appeared to compound, Duhallow thus gaining the fiat of
the judge by a head.

The Hunt Stakes of 5 sous each, for hunters; winners and
thoroughbreds to carry extra. To be ridden by gentle-
men or farmers, with certain allowances. About two
miles.

Mr.'John Thomas's Perjury, list 131 b (Mr.F. Wilkinson) 1

Captain Hornby's Capsicum, 1 Ist 91b .. (Lieut. Buller) 0
Betting-2 to lon Perjury, sto 1 agst either of !the
others offered.

The favourite laid off until half-way up the straight,
where he camp to the front, and won easily by three
lengths ; Capsicum was beaten off.

BETTING AT MANCHESTER-FRIDAY.

The only change on the Northamptonshire Stakes was
the slight advance of most of the favourites. Rapparee WerB
not quite so firm, but no higher off.T than 9 to 1 was made.
Nothing was done on the Earl Spencer's Plate. For the
Chester Cup, 20 to 1 was booked about Simla to win a few
hundreds. For the Two Thousand Guineas, The Marquis
was in request; and we assume, as a consequence, Old
Calabar receded. Towards the conclusion, offers were
made to take 9 to 1 about either of them.
