1821.] Herefordshire 



contest between person* of the names of 

 Spring and Langan, was lately permitted 

 nearWoroester,merely to state that a disas- 

 trous occurrence was occasioned thereby. 

 Previous to the commencement, a consider- 

 able portion of the temporary galleries in 

 front and to the right of the Grand Stand, 

 on which were upwards of 1500 persons, 

 fell with a tremendous crash, and soon after 

 the remainder, with about 2000 more, gave 

 way. "It iirnot in the power of language,'' 

 says a late Shrewsbury Chronicle, "to give 

 a picture of the scene of disorder, distress, 

 and horror, which ensued. The number of 

 broken limbs was immense; numerous 

 persons were borne along to their inns, 

 their homes, and the Infirmary. Many 

 are not likely to survive the injuries they 

 sustained." A record of the continuance 

 and success of this brutal exhibition is 

 unworthy of our pages.
