SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

SALISBURY RACES.-FRIDAY.

The concluding day of this meeting was not so fortuntite
in weather as its predecessor, but the attendance was quite
equal to that of Thursday. Some heavy showers de-
scended during the night, and on Friday morning the
clouds looked 'so ominous that a wet day looked inevitable ;
such, however, was not the case, but there were some very
heavy hailstorms during the afternoon, accompanied with
the distant rumbling of thunder. By the time the sport
concluded the sun was shining brilliantly, and the scenery
looked truly magnificent. The card produced eight items
for decision, which resulted in some very interesting en-
counters. The majority of the prizes, as will be seen by
the return, fell to the Danebury stable (as on Thursday),
that party being in great force at this meeting. Tumbler
scored a second victory iu the opening event, and then the
Marquis of Hastings's successes were ushered in by Cuckoo
—a singularly appropriate harbinger—in the Longford
Castle Stakes. The Stonehenge Plate was the most ex-
citing tussle of the day, there being a double dead heat,
which, however, is not so rare an occurrence as many
would suppose. It ended in the invincible Marquis car-
rying off the stakes, the owners being obliged to run off
the final, as the winner was to be sold.
