The above quotations justify us in placing King Torn
first. The weather to-day was delightfully fine, and the
sport and attendance exhibited considerable improve-
ment. At noon some of Lord Exeter's horses were
brought out to be sold by Messrs. Tattersall, but only
Macduff found a purchaser. The price was 80 guineas,
without his engagements. Most of the professionals
left by the 6.45 p.m. train to "assist" at Shrewsbury.
