SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

DONCASTER RACES.—FURTHER PARTICULARS.
WEDNESDAY.-This is usually a very dull racing day at
Doncaster, and nothing occurred this afternoon to change its
character; the actual business was confined to the settling at
the Rooms, and the sales at the Salutation Inn, and large sums
changed hands at both places. As the first-mentioned proceed-
ing has an important reference to the St. Leger, we sha t dis-
pose of it at once by stating that it war " Slow" but quiet, and
comparatively harmless ; thanks to the dead heat, which induced
Charles the Twelfth's backers to adopt the prudential course of
hedging their money to a considerable extent. Had he won
the first heat we question if our report would have been so fa-
vourable. We did not hear of any great winners or losers.
Scott's party, of course, netted a good, but, for the reason we
have given, not a very large stake. One person, we understand,
was absent, but there are grounds for expecting that his deficit
(a small one) will shortly be made good. In our account of the
two beats sent yesterday we did not give the time in which they
were run ; the first was three minutes and twenty-five seconds;
the deciding one, three minutes and forty-five seconds. The
stakes, clear of deductions, were worth 2,9251. The winner is
got by Voltaire, out of Wagtail (Laurel's dam), by Prime Mi-
nister, her dam by Orville, out of Miss Grimestone, by Weazel,
her dam by Ancestor—dam Arabian—Sampson—Oronoko--
Sister to Mirza.
