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 Tessin 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 balconies, flights of
stops, Sec., tho sport can 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 provole much speculation, though
a larger field than was anticipated came to the post for it.
Among them nothing seemed letter 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 Ilagrum Bonum and Revolver
after a very fast run race. Tie Champagne brought out
one or two very good looking r dark ones," among them
Bedminster and Barbarossa, tie former showing a great
deal of quality, and the latter a very powerful-looking big
colt, though rather coarse. ['he race was left to the
favourite Gardevisure, and Zanbezi, the latter managing
to overhaul her at the Stand, aid winning a good race by
a neck. Barter upset a very yam favourite in Durham
for the Doncaster Plate, and Wld Agnes easily carried off
the filly stakes from a small fiell.
Despite the publicity that has lately been given to their
deeds, the ring, we are sorry to sty, was invaded this after-
noon by more than one member .f the " Welshing frater-
nity." We think it a duty incunbent 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 co'er 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 pzsence 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. Coast
Guard and Master Richard are notexpocted to run.
The Fitzwilliam Stakes of 5 says each, with 100 added,

Several failures preceded the actual start, in which Ad-
venturer obtained a alight 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, wine
ning very cleverly by three parts of a length, Master Richard
defeating Victorious by a neck for second. Dubiety finished

seventh, and the Beaver next. The last lot comprised Mon-
grel, Purity, Minnie, Moulsey, Gem of the Sea, and Defy,
