SPORTING INTILLIGENCE.

T)ONCASTER SEPTEMBER MEETING.
TUESDAY.

The Demister meeting opened brilliantly in eves re-
spa, and the excitement which emvomde the St.
ban perhaps never been exceeded. A tremendous incursion
el visitors Ins taken place, and, as usual, lodgings are ex.
coaling!! high in pnce. The recent rains which have
vi.ited the Doncaster district rendered the coarse splended
pier, and the whole Town Moor is covered as it were with
an elastic pupa carpet. All the great St. Luger cracks—
The Marquis, Buckstone, Cariabrook, Hurricane, Exch..
suer, &c., having arrived, much interest attached to the
gallops, lid a large number of persons were out early to
inspect the terribly high bred cattle. Although in the
fret part of the morning the weather was exceedingly
told, a beautifully warm and pleasant der succeeded, and
greatly stimulated the enjoyment of the racing. A great
muster took place at the rooms prior to moving to the
*nurse, and some movements were made in the St. Leger
betting. Backstote it would seem had created unfavourable
impressions when seen at exercise, for from 7 to 2 taken
overnight he declined to 9to 2, and even 500 to 100 was
laid once; ultimately the highest offer against Mr. Merry's
colt was 4to 1. The first race was appointed for 1.30, sod
before that hour the streets had become crowded with the
tadux of pemmican by the specials from Sheffield and the
Midland tionnties. The betting ring, stands, and enclosure
were filled, and nearly every sportsman of the patrician
era'r was present, and the speculating fraternity of course
mustered in great force. It is seldom, however, that we
remember to have mien fewer spectators for an opening day
en the outside of the course, both pedestrians and vehicles
being strikingly scanty. Much pains have evidently been
bestowed upon the general arrangements, and the newly-
painted white nib extending all round the Town Moor de-
iced the course as clearly as though chalked out on a slate.
We would suggest, however, a separate entrance for the
jockeys to the weighing room, as at Epsom, for the scene
of confusion, and even danger, that occurred after the
Champagne, was quite unworthy of such an otherwise
excellently conducted meeting. The principal attractions
en the card to-day were the Fitzwilliam Stakes, the
Champagne Stakes, and the Great Yorkshire Handicap.
Thirteen runners appeared for the Fitswilliam Stakes out
of the seventeen nominated on the preceding evening, the
entry including the turf celebrities, Caller Ou, Wallace,
and King of Dimon& ; the last-mentioned, the favourite,
at 2 to 1, landed Baron Rothschild's colours very easily, thus
eonfirming the old horse's reputation as the best miler in
England. Lard Clifdea, the favourite for the Derby ran
for the second time io public for the Champagne Stlkes,
and though opposed by two superior public performers in
Early Pari and Armagnac, odds of 5 to 4 were betted on the
winner of the Woodoote at Epsom, and he won very
cleverly from the two we have mentioned. Armagnac
appeared for the first time to-day in Lord Stamford's
colours, his lordship having purchased this oolt, with Brick
sad Le Marieehal, of the French confederacy for 5,000/.
Fifteen runners contended for the Great Yorkshire Hats&
eap, the principal nom-starter being Duldbelle, who bed at
OHO thus been backed at as short a price as 7 to 2 and 4 to 1.
Baddington was a great favourite, and was heavily sup-
by his party. The result proved a very easy victory
for Sir Joseph Hawley's Cowley who had beaten
atrgoaaut in the trial at home. Lord Glasgow, though un-
successful, ran, singularly enough, in the second and third
with his two mares Makeless and Anonyma. Betting on
the course during the afternoon showed no especial altera-
tion, and the closing prices and details of the running will
be found subjoined.

at the top of the hill, May Gosling took second place, and
