SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

SHREWSBURY MEETING-TUESDAY.

There was nothing very particular in to day's card,
beyond the Cup, the 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 Sovs Sweepstakes, and old Hesper
and Queen of Trumps could not live with the young ones
in one 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 sovs each, with 25 sovs added, for 2-yr-
olds and upwards, with selling allowances. Maidens

agst Black Prince, 6 to 1 agst Peignoir, and 8 to 1 agst

Lampoon appeared in front for a few strides, when he
was headed by Convent, who, with the favourite at her
girths, came on with the running into the straight, where
they singled themselves out and finished the race home,
Convent winning easily at last by a neck. Black Prince
was a badthird. The winner was bought in for 210 guineas,

ning to the stand, where Mr. Foy's filly came out and won
in a canter by three lengths; Carnizette, who headed Lord

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. To these
succeeded Bally Edmond, Dalby, Sidewind, Blue Mantle,
Windham, and Gomcra, 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 cutbadly,
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 pair running together
to half-way in the distance, when Raglan drew away and
won a good race by half a length. Gomera finished a bad
third, Windham fourth, Dalby fifth, and Blue Mantle sixth.
The others were pulled up at the Stand, and did not pass
the post.
