SPORTING INTELLIGENCP:

DONCASTER RACES—Ltsr DA T, FIUDAY.

TILE ST. LEGER STAKES.

In our last wepromised a fuller account of the running
of this interesting race, and we now insert it. There was
but one false start, and when they went off in earnest, the
scere was beautiful that presented itself—thirty horses,
that you might have covered with a sheet, and the britliant
rays of the sun glittering on the colours of their joekies: it
was dazzling ,beyond description. The general exclama-
tion of " They're of!" was followed by the allow • of
jleath, and the intense interest of the race was visible in
revery countenance, as the horses appealed to float up the
-hill. Dauntless tried to make the running, but stopped at
the sill ' • Falcon, Addy, Actwon, and Fleur-de-lis, then
being in front, and Falcon and Addy keeping up the run-
ning, and Memnon and Aklerman 'brays lying up with
their horses. At the turn on the MIL ..„..u.dgannties was
bored over a post, broke it off, tore his plate oft and very
much injured his foot, at the same time falling on his knees
and head ; he could not recover himself until nearly all the
wth.ra hail pawed him. Notwithstanding this accident he
got up to Memnon at the Red-house, and to this the great
speculators on Memnon may feel much indebted for their
winnings, for, at the moment Redg: antlet came up, Addy,
Falcon, .Icticon, and Fleur-de-lis, were all locked toge-
ther. Scott seeing Redgauntlet coming, pulled a little to,
the right to get a good place to go with him ; at this instant
Fleur-de-lis fell, and Memnon would havc gone over her
had it not been for this unftreseen occurrence. Addy was
knocked nearly down in the scrambl!,. The boy who rode
Fleur-de-lis. almost senseless by the fall, jumped up like a
stunned cock, and strange to say, though again knocked
down and rode over by the following horses, received no
injury. Ttis accident might have been fatal to all the
leading horses. Homer never appeared in front. After
the ucident Nietnnon took his place, and it was 100 to 1
In him. Alderman being second, but without a chance ;
it never was a race. Cleveland, alive the uuld horse, ran
about& quarter of a toile in the ruck, when he declined,
and the people who backed the wild horse bad the gratifica-
f.on of seeing him walk in the very last ; he could not
raise a gallop. Redgaantlet is not yet fit to travel.
Merunon is now at Raby 'Castle, and Lord Darlington
has given permission to Messrs. Sheanlown, of Doncaster,
to have his portrait take* for publication.
The races concluded this day, after a week of admirable

sport; and we are satisfied that all who were present will
agree with us, that it has been the moat splendid of the
year, and the greatest that has ever been held in York-
shire, or, perhaps, in the kingdom.
In concluding our report, we feel ourselves bound to do
justice to the urbanity and liberal condu:t of the Stewards,
which have been the theme of general admiration. A
tribute of praise is also due to the Judge, Mr. Lockwood,
whose unwearied attention to the arrangement of the races,
and precision in deciding them, gave unqualified Mas-
t talon.
