DONCASTER RACES.

DONCASTER, SATURDAY MORNIOIO.—Up to the present
time the town presents its ordinary state of quietude, and
were it not for the accustomed preparations manifested pre-
viously to the aanual gathering, we should have few tokens
to tell avast Dosimeter Revs were so near at hand. Railways
and vans have made sad work with the bustle and excite-
ment at one time exhibited several weeks previously to our
meeting. Everything which can promote the convenience
and provide for the safety of the visitors has been adopted
bi the authorities. The race-corn Lin beautiful condition.
The facilities of the railways will ensure a large Influx of
passengers from all parts. It is reported that as it seems
almost ea sin the South Yorkshire Railway will not be
ready for opening, the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincola-
shire Railway, in conjunction with the Great Northern,
propose bringing the passenger. from Sheffield and the
neighbourhood via Retford. The trains on the Great
Northern Railway keep most excellent time, and we believe
that their arrangements for the ensuing week will en-
sure equal punctuality. The sales of blood stock will, r
usual, take place in front of the Salutation lan; they excite
great interest from the feet that the whole of Colonel Anson's
stud is to be brought under Messrs. Tattersall.' homer.
Mr. A. Johnstone's yearlings arrived this afternoon, and part
of Colonel Ana's will be here to-morrow. The theatre
opens on Mraday, under the management of Mr. Addison,
wholes secured a very talented company. The betting rooms
ere already prepared for the reception of the gentlemen of
the ring, .having received several improvements, in feet to
expense as spared by the proprietors to make them worthy
of general patronage. The refreshments at the Grand Stand
are again entrusted to Mr. Benham, who offers a most
excellent luncheon at a moderate rate. Mr. Johnson, the
aew clerk of the course, has engaud offices in High-street,
within a few yards of the betting rooms, so that their
proximity to the establishment will be a great convenience.
The recent regulation issued by the post-office authorities
will put an end to the exactions of former years in posting
late letters. We have but one arrival and one departure
during the day, the delivery of the former taking place
about nine in the morning. The letter-box closes at six in
the evening, but letters may be posted up to 6.45, provided
