SPORT IN G.
(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)

The IVolverhampton meeting was an average one.
The improvements relative to the arrangements are
much to be commended ; still, until the betting inclosure
is extended to the stand, and the carriage way extended
to the back of it, they cannot be said to be complete.
The company was exceedingly numerous, and the im-
portation of Manchester and Birmingham speculators
very great.
On Monday we had only three races, and of these the
handicap was the most interesting. Sir Charles Monk's
mare Glossy, according to my prediction, winning, with 4
to 1 against her. Intrepid, evidently short of work, was
beaten a long way. This is the third handicap in sue-
session this mare has won. Therefore her pretensions
to be considered the winner of the Goodwood Stakes,
were by no means meagre. For 'the Produce Stakes,
only five came to the post. And -again my fancy was
realised, the judge placing my seleCtion Carissima first
by three lengths.

The Ladies' Purge was won in two heats by another
animal out of Dawson's stable, called Surety..
THURSDAY.—That day being the Cup Day, was, as a
matter of course, fine. It is somewhat singular, that
however wet the first or second days of a meeting may
be, yet still, whenever the Cup is appointed to be run
for, it is always, csith the exception of the Chester one,
run for in fine weather.
The first race on the card was the Patshull Handi-
cap, fur which six came to the post. The betting men,
as I imagined, made Corranna the favourite, and he was
'
backed at even against the field. He had not gone,
however,
the Jeed
erhalferamilefi before he was completely over-
paced, filly, who showed a marked im-
provement on her last year's form, winning by twenty
lengths. Philip must surely have been amiss, or he
never would have cut the wretched figure he did ; as far
as weight went, no horse was more favourably in.

The other five that started may be said to have had no-
thing to do with the race whatever, so completely were
they beaten off.
In the race for the Cleveland Cup, I was again fortu-
nate enough to pick out the winner—the old Shadow
winning it by four lengths. In spite of Cceur de Lion's
defeat for this race, looking at the pace at which it was
run, the weight he carried, and the distance he had to
travel over, I still consider hint the most dangerous out-
sider in the St. Leger.
The Members' Plate went after three heats to the
winner of the Ladies' Plate the day before. It is sin-
gular how lucky Dawson is with his platers; in the com-
mencement of the season with Live-and-let-Live he won
almost every plate worth having in the south, and now
with this mare in the north he bids fair to be equally
lucky.
WEDNESDAY.--Wre had only two races this day which
might easily have been put into the preceeding one's list.
In the liolyoake Stakes the Jereed filly again dis-
played her good qualities, making a shocking exhibition
of six others; among them Roderick, the second for the
Goodwood Stakes.

The Corporation Plate was won somewhat easily by
Gwalior from a small field.

And thus ended the Wolverhampton Mceting for 1845
TELEGRAPH.

ANSTRUTHER.—HERRING FISHING.--We have now
had three weeks' trial of the herring fishing, and, during that
time, the takes have been pretty general. Several boats are
already well fished, having caught upwards of 100 trans—one
boat is as high as 160. The takes on Friday varied from three
to sixty-five trans per boat. The prices have fallen to 10s. and
11 s. per crap. The herrings are of excellent quality.—Fife
