THE GREAT DONCASTER ST. LEGER.

DONCASTER, Monday.
Doncaster this year will be honoured with the presence
of the heir to the throne of Italy, besides the usual gather-
ing of the elite of the aristocracy. The course is rather hard
but otherwise in excellent condition. The two great cracks,
Blair Athol and General Peel, arrived yesterday. A rush
was immediately made to get a peep at their condition, but
those who were so anxious went away sorely disappointed,
as they came in separate boxes made expressly for the pur-
pose. Both will show over tho course to-morrow. The
following are the probable starters and jockeys expected to
take part in the St. Leger, although several outsiders
whose names have been scarcely mentioned may enter an

to see him beat Miner.
General Peal, from having won the Two Thousand
Guineas, and afterwards running second for the Derby, has
ever since the latter event been as good a favourite as Blair
Athol, owing to his having gone into John Scott's stable to
finish his preparation. In his race for the Two Thousand
there was no horse of any merit that he beat. But after
the form that Scottish Chief showed at Ascot, his chance
looks second to none. Lord Glasgow is one of the most
honourable noblemen in oonnection with the turf, and his
success would be hailed with the greatest satisfaction by
all classes of the ring. It is said that Wells will have
to mount on the General instead of Aldcroft, who, it was
said, acted contrary to orders in the Great Epsom tourna-
ment, which gave rise to a serious difference betwoul
trainer,jockey, and master.
The Minor, from having defeated Blair Athol at York,
is now third favourite; but, as I have previously said, that
running will no doubt be entirely upset on the present

occasion.
Baragah is the best of Mr Bowes's lot. His performances
at Ascot, Goodwood, and Wolverhampton, where he beat
Ely, Historian, 1191yfox, Tomato, and Lord Zetland (giving
him 71bs), certainly makes his chance look rosy. All
sorts cf excuses have been made tor Ely, but I have not the
smallest doubt he was fairly defeated on his own merits.
Taking his race with Ely into consideration, he certainly
beat him easier than either Blair Athol or General Peel
did in the Derby. He was stopped for two or three days in
his work by a slight accident, but has since done exultant
work, and looking as fresh as ever. Mostly all the bookmakers
have laid heavily against him; and if he should pull through
(with the exception of Ransley and Spinks, and several of
the old bookmakers), the "Ruins" will be scattered nearly
as much as General Grant's Yankee forces were the other
day by General Lee on the Weldon Railroad before
Petersburg.
Ely, as I have before said, will not reverse his position
