SPO.R7ING INTELLIGENCE.

SHREWSBURY AUTUMN MEETING.—TITESDA.Y.
This meeting, the wind-up of flat racing for the year,
commenced yesterday. The weather for some days pre-
viously had been unusually severe, and doubts were enter-
tained as to whether a postponement would not be rendered
necessary, and up to the time fixed for the first race these
apprehensions seemed likely to be realised. The sun, how-
ever, came out in " great force" towards midday, and Jack
Frost was compelled to beat a retreat at the sacrifice of
half an hour's delay at the commencement. The fields
were of a fair average, and the racing good. Full details
of the running will be found below.

RECEIVING A -'7-7---NUN.--The ceremony of receiving
a nun took place at the Roman Catholic chapel,L.tdder-
_
minster, on Saturday. The novice was a young lady named
Diary Augusta Ann Theresa Tyran,from the county Meath,in Ireland. The namo by which she will be known
among the sisterhood at Kidderminster, however, will be
Sister Mary Theresa. The young lady's friends aro stated
to be persons of position and wealth in the abovenamed
county. At the close of an address from Dr. Ulla-
thorne, the novice advanced from her scat, and knelt
before the bishop, who asked her if she was
thoroughly aware of the obligations she was going to take.
The novice responded, in a subdued voice, that she was.
Having prostrated herself on her face before the bishop,
prayer was offered. The black veil having been placed over
her head, the bishop said that the habit she now wore was
the livery of Jesus Christ, and it should remind her that
she had for ever forsaken the world and was in future to
serve God alone. Another prayer followed, the nun again
prostrating herself as before. Tho bishop asked if it was
with willing heart sho renounced the world, and all similar
pretensions. An answer was given in the affirmative. The
bishop then gave the now professed nun a crucifix, which
she owed to her spiritual spouse. The bishop :—" The
hour of your sacrifice is come. Do you cheerfully, with-
out reserve, give yourself to God ?" The nun returned
answer that she did. Mass was then performed with the
usual ceremonies, during which the nun made a manta.
tion of the world, and devoted herself to a religious life.
The bishop upon this declared that he had admitted her
into the institute of the Blessed Virgin, and he promised
her, if she kept her vows, eyerlasting life,
