SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

DONCASTER RACES.-TUESDAY.

The famed Yorkshire meeting opened under prospects
which seem to brighten as years roll in. The company in.
creases annually, new faces supply the vacancies occasioned
by old age or death, more running horses are entered on the
lists, and more young ones bred than would have been
dreamt of in the philosophy of the six subscribers to Eng-
land's original great race for 3-yr-olds, the Doncaster St.
Leger. These facts need not to be impressed upon the
mind of any man who 30 years ago travelled for two days
on the great North road, and on Monday last performed
the same distance in four hours. Such was the rush to-
wards the trysting spot that an extra train had to be de-
spatched from King's-cross, and so well did steam and
iron do their duty that the two trains reached their desti-
nation within a quarter of an hour of each other. The Sub-
scription-room was consequently well attended, and a more
than average-amount of business transacted on the forth-
coming events of the week, The outlays upon Backstone
and Hurricane for the St. Leger had the effect of driving
The Marquis slightly back in the betting, and at mid-
night it was next to impossible to determine whether the
North or the South country horse was first favou-
rite. Lord Glasgow's Stockwell colt and Col. Towneley's
Imperatrice were also entrusted with some money.
For the Champagne Stakes layers were plentiful against
Lord Clifden, who had been backed for even money, but de-
clined during the evening ; and for the Great Yorkshire
Handicap Dulcibella was sadly at a discount. Changes,
however, took place in the morning, and the Marquis was
before noonday almost alone in the position of decided
favourite. Messrs. Tattersall were meanwhile busy in the
horse-fair, and sold a few yearlings at good prices, one or
two being bought in at double their value.
At half-past 1 the Stand presented the usual lively ap-
pearance of the fashionable gathering of Yorkshire, and an
excellent bill of fare began to be discussed under a genial
sky, with 14 runners for the old-established and appropri-
ately-named Fitzwilliam Stakes. King of Diamonds then
showed his speed by disposing of Caller Ou and Wallace
without an effort. The Champagne Stakes were won
cleverly by the favourite, Armagnac, who was second,
having been purchased by the Earl of Stamford and War-
rington previous to the race. The Great Yorkshire Handi-
cap produced a large field and an interesting contest ; after
which betting upon the St. Leger was renewed, 4 to 1 being
again offered against the Marquis. An excellent day's
sport was brought to its termination with the greatest punc-
tuality, and no contretemps occurred save a fall in the se-
cond race, when Engineer stumbled and fell on his knees
at the moment the flag was lowered, and Astarte, who was
lying in his track, rolled over him. Neither of the jockeys
received any injury b 3yond a few braiees.

The Fitzwilliam Stakes of 5 soya each, with 100 added, for
all ages; weights for age; winners extra. The second_

ler Ou, 7to 1 each agst eitirncastle and Wallace, 10 to 1
agst Dirt Cheap, 100 to 8 agst Cape Flyaway, and 100 to
7 agst Milandra.

The lot left the post in compact order, with the exception
of Tragedian and Victrix, who got badly off. Cape Fly-
away was the first off, but was immediately after passed by
Equinox, who with King of Diamonds, Caller Ou, Wallace,
Cairncastle, and Dirt Cheap came on in advance, the lot
running in a cluster into the straight, where King of Dia-
monds took a slight lead, waited upon by Caller Ou, Cairn-
castle next the rails, with Wallace on his whip hand, the
quartette running in close company to the Enclosure, where
the Baron's colt drew away, and won in a canter by two
lengths. Three lengths between the second and third ;
Equinox finished a bad fourth, Caller Ou fifth, Dirt Cheap
sixth, and the Miss Whip filly next, The last two were Tra-
gedian and Victrix.

6to 1 agst Longshot, 100 to 15 agst Eidolon, and 8 to 1
agst Grimston.

Grimston, next the rails, jumped off with the running,
followed by Eidolon and Longshot, the others, hededh
Wombat, Olive Branch, and Lady Bird, lying up. On
fairly entering the straight, Eidolon headed Grimston, and
came on with a slight lead to the distance, where Longshot
was disposed of, Wombat following suit in a few stride s
after, leaving the three placed to finish a good race home,
Eidolon winning very cleverly at last by a neck, two
lengths separating the second and third. Longshot finished
fourth, Wombat fifth, and Olive Branch next, Despair was
last.

The Champagne Stakes of 50 soya each, h ft, for 2• yr-
olds ; colts Bst 101 b, and fillies Bst 81b; the owner of

7 to 1 each agst Early Purl and Fiancee, 10 to 1 agst
Brother to Morocco, and 100 to 8 agst the Wasp colt and
Trojanns.

After several failures, caused by the Young Melbourne
colt, Armagbac, and the NV asp colt repeatedly breaking
away, the flag was lowered to a straggling start, in which
the favourite got badly off. On settling into their places
Fiancee, next the rails, was seen in possession of the lead,
having Early Purl, Armagnac, Trojanus, Stampede, and
Lord Clifden in close attendance, the ethers lying up. On
reaching the distance Mr. Naylor's pair were disposed of,
and Early Purl came on with the running, closely at-
tended by Armagnac and the favourite to the stand, where
I4'erdham made his effort, and in a few strides further ob-
tained a slight advantage, which he retained to the end,
and won very cleverly by half a length ; three lengths
separating the second and third, Fiancee fourth, Cistercian
fifth, Trojanus sixth, and Stampede next. The Wasp colt,
Lord Glasgow's colt, and Brother to Morocco were the last
three.

where she gave way to Mr. Rodgers's filly, who came
on
with a slight lead to the Stand, where she was joined by the
favourite and My Mary, the three running a close race
home. Queen of Trumps, who always appeared to have a
little the best of it, winning by a head ; half a length be.
tween the second and third ; Pilot finished a bad fourth,
the others beaten off some distance.
