SHREWSBURY MEETING—TUESDAY.
There was nothing very particular in to day's card,
beyond the Cup, tho other events being short Handicaps
and Selling Race, interesting to those speculating on them.
Convent, who could not go a yard at Liverpool, showed a
liking for this course by defeating a great favourite in
Vulture for the Five Soya Sweepstakes, and old Hesper
and Queen of Trumps could not live with the young ones
in ono of those objectionable three furlong spins that they
are a little too fond of at Shrewsbury.
The Battlefield Handicap was a good thing for Overture,
and the Borough Members' Plate Professor Anderson, ac-
cording to the Liverpool running, could not lose. He won
in a canter, and was bought at the hammer after the race
by the Marquis of Hastings for 400 guineas.
The Cup was a good race, and the pace first-rate. It
was doubtful for some time which was the better favourite,
Raglan or Dalby, but at last Raglan left off with a decided
call, Gomera and Bradamante being also backed for some
amount. The favourite made the most of the running ex-
cept for a short interval, when Sidewind was in front, but
she was headed on entering the straight, and the two ran a
good race home, Raglan, with always the best of it, win-
ning by half a length.
The attendance was larger than on the first day.
A Sweepstakes of 5 soya each, with 25 sous added, for 2-yr-
olds and upwards, with selling allowances. Maidens

Joco, on the outside, got away in advance of Valiant and
Raglan, the two entering the straight a length or two in
advance of Bradamante, Bally Edmond, and Dalby, who
were followed in close order by Fisherman's Daughter,
Blue Mantle, Sidewind, and Windham. Approaching the
distance Raglan ran past his horses, and came past the stand
in advance of Valiant, who was followed by Joco, Fisher-
man's Daughter, and Bradamante nearly abreast. Tothese
succeeded Bally Edmond, Dalby, Sidewind, Blue Mantle,
Windham, and Gomera, in the order we have given them ;
but on rounding the turn on the far side, Lord Westmore-
land's filly rushed through her horses, and on coming up-
sides with Bradamante and Fisherman's Daughter she
hung so much as to drive the latter, whose leg she cut badly,
into Bradamante, who was sent on the wrong side of the post,
and his chance was in consequence extinguished. Kenyon
fortunately was enabled to keep his filly straight, and before
they reached the mile-post, she joined Raglan. Gomera,
who had hitherto laid away in company with Windham,
also, became third and fourth, close up with whom were seen
Bally Edmond and Dalby. Proceeding along the bottom,
the effect of the pace began to tell its tale, as the field ex-
hibited an extended appearance as they rounded the turn
into the straight. Here the popular colours of Sidewind
were clearly seen in the van, and her success was
vocifer-
ously proclaimed from the Stand, but shortly after she was
seen to give way, and the favourite, admirably. ridden by
Loates, came up on the outside ; the

on to the distance, when she was joined byWentworth and

abreast to the Stand, when Bella gave way, and Jane Shore,
taking a slight load, held to the end, and won a slashing

TS—This Day.

_
Fresh up to our market to-day the arrivals of English -
wheat were very moderate. For good and fine dry samples
the trade was steady at full prices, otherwise tho demand
was in a sluggish state at about previous rates.

Thero.was a moderate but far from extensive supply of
foreign wheat on the stand. The amount of business was
somewhat restricted, and. the quotations ruled in some in-
stances the turn in favour of buyers.

Floating cargoes of grain were in fair demand, at late
rates.

The supply of barley on sale was moderate. Good and '
fine malting produce ruled firm at full currencies, but other
descriptions of barley were a slow sale.
The malt trade was steady, at full prices.
Oats were in good supply, and slow request, at about
Monday's currency.
Beans and peas were very firm, at fully late rates.
•
Flour was in fair demand, and prices ruled firm.
