SPORTING INTELLIGENCE,

DONCASTER RACES.—TUESDAY.
For the last few years each succeeding anniversary has
witnessed a marked improvement in the fortunes of the
Great Northern meeting, and there is every probability that
on this occasion we shall have to record a success perfect in
all the various details, not yielding in any particular to
what the Town Moor has seen in the past and palmiest
days of Doncaster.
The extensive additions and improvements within the
enclosure and on the different stands that have been car-

ried out by the well-judging liberality of the corporation
inaugurate quite a new order of things. The Grand Stand,
with its various annexes, is now one of the most spacious

in the kingdom. The range of private boxes, each with a
retiring-room, are on a more liberal principle as regards
space than at Ascot, while the subscription stand has
been much enlarged, and, what with balco&es, flights of

steps, &c., the sport eau be enjoyed with an amount of

. .
comfort before unknown.

Doncaster presented its usual, and, perhaps, mere than

- - -
usual, lively appearance last evening. and all available
- -

accommodation seemed to have been quickly snapped up,

notwithstanding the prices which its thrifty inhabitants

demand.

The chief event of the first day's racing, the Great;York•

shire Handicap, did not provoke much speculation, though
a larger field tban was anticipated came to the post for it.
Among them nothing seemed better than Raglan and East

Lancashire, but the latter seemed outpaced before they

had gone 200 yards, and the former, though struggling
gamely, was defeated by Magnum Bonum and Revolver
after a very fast run race. The Champagne brought out
one or two very good looking " dark ones," among them
Bedminster and Barbarossa, the former showing a great

deal of quality, and the latter a very powertul-looking big
colt, though rather coarse. The race was left to the

favourite Gardevisure, and Zimbezi, the latter managing
to overhaul her at the Stand, and winning a good race by
a neck. Barter upset a very warm favourite in Durham
for the Doncaster Plate, and Wild Agnes easily carried off
the filly stakes from a small field.
Despite the publicity that has lately been given to their
deeds, the ring, we are sorry to say, was invaded this after-
noon by more than one member of the " Welshing frater-
nity." We think it a duty incumbent on the members of
Tattersall's more especially to do all in their power to rid
the racecourse of these harpies, who in some instances

carry on their robberies under cover of a pretended mem-
bership of the Subscription-room. The services of two of
the London detectives would effectually prevent their in-
trusion into places where their presence is a guarantee to
those unacquainted with their persons and character of

their probity and good faith.
There was little or no change in the Leger betting. Coas
Guard and Master Richard are not expected to run.
The Fitzwilliam Stakes of 5 soya each, with 100 added
for all ages; weights for age; winners extra. The
second to receive 10 soya out of the stakes. One mile.

Several failures preceded the actual start, in which Ad-
venturer obtained a slight lead, closely followed by Master
Richard, Sweet Jessie, Dubiety, and the favourite, close in
whose wake came Argonaut, Twilight, and Gem of the Sea,
with the others lying up. They ran thus to the road, when
Argonaut came up next the rails and joined the leaders,
followed by Victorious, but on reaching the half distance
Sir Joseph Hawley's horse gave way, leaving the issue
with three, Adventurer, who was never fairly reached, win-
ning very cleverly by time parts of a length, Master Richard
defeating Victorious by a neck for second. Dubiety finished
a good fourth, Argonaut fifth, Twilight sixth, Strafford
seventh, and the Beaver next. The last lot comprised Mon-
gre', Purity, Minnie, Moulsey, Gem of the Sea, and Defy,
the latter getting badly off.

to Bird on the Wing at his girths. These positions wore
retained to the enclosure, where Brown Bread came out and
won very easily by half a length, Lord Waldegrave defeat-

Caryophyllus drew slightly in advance and came on with
the running, having the favourite on his right, and Wel-
land and LaMechante next the rails. At the distance Wel-
land gave way, half-way down Attraction headed Caryo-
phyllus, and won in a canter by four lengths ; a wretched
third.

Loafer was the first away, but was shortly after headed
by Lazzaroni and Busy Bee, who came on together to the
bend, where they were joined by Loafer and Catalogue, the
lot running in company to the half-distance, where Loafer
was beaten. Catalogue at the same time took a decided
lead, and won easily by a length ; a bad third. The win-
ner was sold to Mr Padwick for 200 guineas.

Bonum.
The start was delayed a short period through the frac-
tiousness of Magnum Boman, but on returning to the post
Mr Marshall lowered his flag to an excellent start, in which
Revolver got away slightly in advance, but after running
a few strides Noelie rushed to the front and made the run-
ning on the extreme right, followed in the centre by Re-
volver, Blue Mantle, and Rose, close up with whom were
Olivia, Raglan, Canzonette, Finesse, and Magnum Bonum,
the rear being brought up by The Clown, Battaglia, and
East Lancashire, the latter being a long way in the rear of
everything as they reached the hill. On reappearing in
sight Neolie had resigned her load to Blue Mantle, close
up with whom were Raglan, Revolver,:MerryWife, Olivia,
and Magnum Bonum, in which positions they came past
the Rifle-butt, but as they passed the Red House Blue
Mantle appeared in difficulties, and on rounding the bend
was beaten, and dropped into the roar, followed immediately
r rails,
after by Olivia, Rose, and Finesse. This left Revolver it
possession of the lead, which he retained to the road, where
he was joined by Raglan and Merry Wife, and in a few

at the post. Confederate was the first away, and made the

Farnham, and Jane Shore, who came on nearly in a line to
the road, where Barter drew away, and won in a canter by
three parts of a length. There were three lengths between
