DONCASTER RACES.

THUit&DAY

The weather to-day has been even more unfavourable
than on Tuesday, .a cold rain during the greater part of
the morning and afternoon having effectually destroyed
everything in the shape of pleasure ; it seemed, indeed, as
if the rain reserved itself for the most important days, the
St. Leger and Cup races being especially distinguished by
it, while Monday and liVednesday passed off unnoticed.
Despite of this the Grand Stand was pretty full ; most of
the fashionables Already spoken of were there, including
the Russian Nobles, Prince Smirnoff and Coent Demidoll,
Lord Morpeth, Lord Univers, &c. The settling for the
St. Leger has terminated very quietly : It is many years
since we have attended one that has passed off in An satis-
factory a manner; there are not any defaulters, and the
few unclosed accounts are likely to be amicably Adjugeds
We are informed that, subsequent to the race, some gen-
tlemen high on the turf waited upon Mr. Beardsworth to
auggest that he should not support a bad precesient by
giving his jockey more than a moderate present. Mr.
Reardsworth's reply was, that he conceived he was as
much indebted to Conolly fur his success as to his horse
or his trainer, and that he could not better show hie sense
of his rider's honesty and talent than by giving him a
5001. note, which he accordingly did. Colonel Peel also
gave him 501., Mr. Robinson 100/., besides many others ;
nor is it at all unlikely that lie will realise the amount
mentioned in our last. There is also a talk of the Bir-
iningham people rewarding hint with a cup! While on
the subject of gifts, we may add that the owners of St.
Nicholas were so delighted with H, Edwards's jockeyship
lathe raceou Wednesday, that they presented hint with 100/.
The following account of the day's sport, which occupied
till between five and six o'clock, will be found correct

Match for 500 soya. each, h. ft. Mile and a half.
Mr. W. Chltliey's b. e. Priam, Bst 1
Lord Kilburn's Retriever, Bst. Mb... 9

This match was originally made to be rim on the last
day of the races, and was brought forward to-day by mu•
tual consent. Priam was backed at 7to 4, although, as a
8-yr-old, be carried only bib. less than Retriever; the
result proved that the weights ought to have been reversed
to bring the horses together upon equal terms. Retriever
took the lead at a fair pace, Prism lying about a couple of
lengths behind till they came to the end of the rails, where
Robinson (who rode) brought him a little nearer ; he con.
tinned gaining upon him ; but it was not till they were
opposite the stand that he made any thing like an effort.
Here he gave his antagonist the coup de grace, and won
very easy by three or four lengths. H. Edwards rode the
loser.

The Two-year-old Stakes of 20 sovs. each. T.Y.C.

Betting b to 2 eget Circassian, 7 to 2 agat Victoire, 7
to,l,ngst Colwick, 7 to 1 agst Skipsey, and 10 to 1 eget
Good Luck. After two false starts, the necessary conse-
quence of so large a field of t.yr-olds, Skipsey's colt got
off in front, Mr. S. Fox's filly following him, Circassian
next, and the others well up ; at the turn Skipsey's colt
gave way, and was directly after followed by Mr. Fox's
Piresesian going to the front, and Bras-de-Fer and Watt's
being close to him, these were passed at the distance by
Colwiek, who made every effort to get up without any
chance of success, fin- the mare, from the time she took
the lead, may be said to have had the race at command.;
she won very easily by nearly two lengths, rude by Dar-
liug, Colwick by young Buckle, Britiollo.Fer by Cottony
and Watt's by Nicholson. Value of the stakes 8801.
Mr. Iloultlaworth has thus won the three Two-year-old
Stakes by Sultan fillies, who, like Green Mantle and
Varna, combined the sire's good qualities, stoutness and
speed. The three Stakes were worth in the aggregate
2,155/. Circassian is in the Oaks.
The Gascoigne Stakes of 200 soya. each for 8-yr-olds,
SO ft. St. Leger Course. Seven cabs.
Mr. Chifney'a Priam walked over.

Course. Ten aubaer;liera.

I.nrd Kilburn' ch. c. by NVortil—Einiliti 1
Mr. 11'titanic." Little Red Royer

Nothing but the great value of the Stakes cou'd have
justified the starting of Little Red Rover, who is decidedly
amiss ; such, however, was the opinion entertained of his
game qualities, that he was backed against the other at 7
to 4. The race was Lord Kilburn's all the way, the Little
Rorer never reaching within two or three lengths of him
at any pa, t of it. It was won at butt by about three
lengths. Lye rode the winner, and Scott the loser. Value
1,2001. Lord Kilburn won this stake last year with
Retriever.
The Gold Cup, value 150 sore. About two miles and
five furlongs.
Lord ICllburn's Iletriever,!,l yrs
Lord Milton's Medoro, 6 yrs
The following also started, but were not placed :---.
It is MNesty's Fleur-de-lIN aged_(Nelmn)
Major larburgli's Laurel, (I yrs clileholson)
Mr. Petre's Ilrunswlrker, 3 yrs ( loltnes)
Lord Queensberry's Hassan, 3 yrs (J. (fray)
Mr. Arnold's Dolly, 3 yrs (J. Dodgson).
Nothing was fancied in the betting but the old mare,
against whom they laid b to 4 only, Laurel at 3 to 1, and
Medoro at to 1. Bruns wicker was quoted at 10 to 1,
anti Retriever at 25 to 1, which went begging. Imme-
diately at starting Fleur-de-Lis took the lead, and made
good running, followed by Brunewicker second, Laurel
third, Retriever fourth, bledoro fifth, Dolly shah, and
Ilassan last, at about a length from each other, to the hill,
when the mare began to close; the snare still continuing
the lead, kept her situation till near the distance-post,
when Nicholson brought up Laurel, defeated her, and, to
all appearance, was winning. Itiedoro and lietriever then
came up, and near to the stand went by him, and con-
tested the most severe race of the meeting, Retriever win-
ning by a head. Rode by Lye (who won the Cup last
year on Voltaire), and bledoro by H. Edward.. So fine
a thing was it at the finish, this Edwards declared he
wooi and a long Wrangle ensued.
The races terminate to•tnorroiv. Sir David Baird and
P. D. Cooke, Esq. are appointed Stewards for next year.

TUE SEAT OF WAR IN THE CRIMEA.---.
Of Captain Auormenita's travels to this recent scene of
intense interest, " the Spectator" justly observe", that
" Information could not certainly be presented in a
pleasanter or easier form than in this young officer's travels
to the, seat of war. Gossip, military and social, takes its
turn with adventure and description ; professional obserm
thine are mixed up with personal anecdotes ; the seems
are varied, the objects curious, the subject important, and
the people he travels among imperfectly known, and in
every point of view interesting. The work is richly em-
bellished with engravings from drawings taken by
Captain ALEXANDIER on the spot, for he is as successful
With his pencil as with his pen, as a soldier ought to be."
SCI.II.I.ERS' MATCII.—A match took place
ea Tuesday last, between Mr. THOUA4 BURT, kill. (ofl,
lfolborn-bill), and Mr. ALVRIGD MACK,It (of Suffol
lane), two will-known amateurs, for 10/. aside, to row
from Vauxhall bridge to Battersea. At starting Mr.
Boa took 'the lead, and kept it, ultimately whining the
match by upwards of 80(1 yards, much to the astonish-
ment and mortification of Mr. Macatz and his numerous
backers. Batting at starting, six to four and two to one
on Mr. M.
