THE DONCASTER MEETING•

THE GREAT ST. LEGER DAY,

Memorable in turf history as have been ,many of the
struggles for the Great St. Leger, the contest for 1865 will
rank among the most remarkable races over witnessed, not
only at Doncaster, but in this country. Frenchmen, by a
series of successes, had during the past five years gradually
prepared the public mind for their ultimate triumphs with
Fille do l'Air and Gladiateur at Epsom; but Yorkshiremen,
with their strong native prejudices, seemed incredulous of
the fact that a " foreigner" could secure their " blue
riband," which had on so many previous years elated the
bosoms of "the Tykes" by falling to the representatives of
Malton and Middleham. According to the Derby running
and the issue of the Two Thousand Guineas, the St. Leger
was in reality a foregone conclusion for Gladiateur, and it
was so regarded until recently, when owing to the large
amount of support awarded to The Duke, Regalia, and
other competitors, the belief in the invincibility of the
Frenchman was considerably shaken, and in consequence
of the reports recently circulated to his disadvantage the
excitement in racing circles became intense.

The St. Leger possesses a notoriety for its surprises,
many favourites and Derby winners having suffered igno-
minious defeat at the hands of despised outsiders. Caller
Ou first distinguished herself by her remarkable overthrow
of Kettledrum at Doncaster in 1861; and so little was her
chance estimated, that in the course of the race as much as
100 to 1 was betted against the now celebrated turf heroine.
Other unlooked-for victories stand recorded in connexion
with the St. Leger, and for this reason the great race of
Wednesday was anticipated with feverish anxiety.
Before proceeding to a narrative of the day's racing, we
will briefly recapitulate the standing of the candidates and
their antecedents, in order that our readers may be pro-
vided with a complete chronicle of the St. Leger day up to
the moment of the commencement of the contest, as well as
every minute detail.

Gladiateur's splendid career this season scarcely needs
any reference. His double victory in England for
the Two Thousand and Derby, and his subsequent triumph
for the Grand Prize of Paris established his reputation as
one of the most extraordinary horses of modern times. In-
deed, from his precocious development and the hollow man-
ner in which he defeated Christmas Ovrol, Eltham, and a
large field at Epsom, inuendoes were thrown out as to the
probability of his being beyond the asserted age, and these
unwarranted reports were unfortunately inserted in some
journals who set up a claim to respectability. It is well
known that a perfect system of registration exists in France
and that no such deception could possibly be practised with
success. Nor can it be imagined for a single moment that a
nobleman of such eminent rank as Count Lagrange would
ever dream of a trick which would stamp the name of himself
and horse with perpetual infamy. Mr. Graham, the owner
of Regalia, however, injudiciously resolved to give the sur-
mises and suspicions of certain people a tangible shape ;
and, as our readers are aware, that gentleman on Monday
addressed a letter of protest to the stewards of the Doncas-
ter Meeting demanding an examination of Gladiateur's
mouth before he was permitted to run, but the stewards
considering such a proceeding perfectly frivolous and vexa-
tious determined not to entertain the objection, and thus
the whole affair collapsed. It will be remembered that
some few days since Gladiateur was driven back in the
quotations, and a report circulated that he had "broken a
blood vessel," but it transpired that he met with some in-
considerable mishap, and his training and preparation were
not materially interfered with. Gladiateur arrived at Don-
caster on Tuesday, and cantered on Wednesday morning
as early a s 5 o'clock, his presence on the course being watched
with great interest by a large assemblage of his friends and
enemies of all grades. Count Lagrange assured all his
personal friends on the course on Tuesday, that despite the
sinister rumours current adverse to the horse, the Derby
winner was never better in his life. The Duke possessed
a high reputation as a two-year-old, from having, prior to
his debut, won a great trial at John Day's, at Danebury.
After winning his maiden engagement at Stockbridge in a
common canter, he was beaten at Newmarket, in the July
Stakes, by a neck, the race being such an eminently unsatis-
factory one that it has been a moot point ever since whether
it was not one of those "flukes" by no means uncommon
on the turf. The Duke, after defeating the Lion at York,
went into retirement for his three-year-old engagements,
and during the winter months he was one of the most
prominent favourites for the Derby, supported to win many
thousands of pounds by the powerful coterie of noblemen
and gentlemen comprising the supporters of John Day's
stable. Unfortunately, however, distemper broke out in
that establishment in the spring, placing the cream of the
stud hors de combat, and among those stricken down was
the Derby hope of that spirited young sportsman, the Mar-
quis of Hastings. The horse's scratching for the Derby
was now a matter of necessity, and the pen was put through
his name, to the consternation of those who had accorded
him their monetary allegiance, Since then The Duke has
been in seclusion, and as the Danebury horses have lately
shown great improvement and carried all before them,
fresh attention was drawn to the Marquis's candidate. A
favourable demonstration set in at the York meeting, and
The Duke became once more a favourite for one of the
great three-year-old encounters of 1865. At Warwick he
underwent a temporary depression in the quotations,
owing to rumours that in a trial with Ackworth and John
Davis he had been beaten a long way. This was evidently
without grounds, as the Duke was speedily reinstated, and
after the extraordinary manner in which all John Day's
horses performed at Doncaster on Tuesday as little as 4 to
1 was accepted. Regalia, beyond a grand appearance, was
undistinguished until Epsom, where she won the Oaks even
easier than Gladiateur the Derby, completely galloping the
hearts out of the mares who opposed her, and in five
seconds only beyond the time in which "the Frenchman"
had accomplished his Derby. Gladiateur had, however,
beaten Regalia a hundred yards in the Two Thousand,
but she is believed to have been amiss at that period. Up
to the Oaks she was trained by Harlock at Newmarket,
but the owner being of opinion that she was left until
late without her excellence being divulged, removed
the mare to Mahon, to be trained under the charge of
Charles Peck. Regalia had been supported to win some
heavy amounts by her immediate party and the public, and
was in the position of second favourite for a considerable
period, and has only given way owing to the elevation of
The Duke. Breadalbane and Broomielaw, Mr. Chaplin's
pair, have been the "sensation" horses of the season; and
after the unparalleled price of £ll,OOO was paid for then',
they have never realised the great expectations of their
owner, more especially the brother to Blair Athol, whO cut
up badly in the Two Thousand and worse in the Derby.
A belief was widely entertained that Breadalbane's Derby
running was not correct, and at Ascot and Goodwood the
horse certainly displayed marked improvement on his
Epsom disgrace. Broomielaw's case was hopeless ; his
moderate quality is now set beyond all question by his
defeats at York and at Doncaster on the opening day.
Klarinska was undreamed of as a St. Leger filly until the
York meeting, where she came out, and even surprised her
trainer, John Scott, by the manner in which she cut down
in her successive engagements Siberia, White Duck,
Broomielaw, Olmar, Nightwatch, &c. From this period
the Whitewall mare has met with support at all prices
down to as little as 10 to 1, but was driven to 20 to 1 on
the eve of the race at the Subscription Rooms. Archi-
medes has encountered many vicissitudes throughout his
career. In the Two Thousand Guineas he was second,
within a neck of the Derby winner ; but in the Derby he
was unplaced, beaten a long way, the excuse for his indif-
ferent performance being that he was suffering from "sore
shins" at the time. During the Warwick meeting he was,
in the phraseology of turf speculators, "knocked out," and
at one period 100 to 1 was 'offered in vain. Under these
havebeen expected that
would b esenhtaro hardly
oncaster ; but having, Veuhrinm seta Archimedes
s it could
ac-
cording to report, merely met with a slight accident, his
trainer, Smith, got him round, and his noble owner
determined to allow him to run. Among the extreme
outsiders Zambesi and Peeress were occasionally
quoted at 50 to 1, but their followers had
evidently not much faith in their fortunes while
meeting such " cracks" as Gladiateur, The Duke, and Re-
galia. This summary will put our readers in possession of
all the facts in connection with the St. Leger competitors
up to the eve of the contest. Throughout Tuesday Don-
caster continued to receive thousands of visitors from all
was the influx of com-
ny of the passengers
ppwaaerinryes caootfmtthhpee rail
the
lkinledgwtdoaowymailttaainntidotnesdOitogrhusaetaditrlay by the side of their
portmanteaus while porters rushed all over the place en-
deavouring to secure vehicles, which were at an unusual
premium. Excitement culminated at night time, as the
rooms were crammed, and the High-street was thronged
with people who formed themselves into groups and
" compared notes" on the coming race, and greedily de-
voured any item of latest betting, or such intelligence as is
prized on the eve of a St. Leger. All the shops were open
until midnight, and the scene was of that extraordinary
nature which Doncaster can alone provide. The interior
of the rooms, owing to the crowd, the smoking, and exces-
s sive heat was almost unVearable. Although much excite-
ment prevailed, speculatio nwas not extensive, but the final
prices at the dissolution of the members were duly tele-
graphed, and contained in our impression of yesterday.
The salient features of the Leger betting were the increased
desire to back Gladiateur, the extraordinary firmness of
The Duke, and the decline of Regalia. The race, in the
opinion of speculators, was apparently limited to the trio,
20 to 1 "bar three" being freely offered, with but an occa-
sional investment. Odds of 5 to 2 agst the field would
have been laid to large amounts on the two favourites, but
bookmakers stood out for a point more. A well-known ad-
herent of the French stable offered to take £2,500 to £2,000
Gladiateur did not win, but no one seemed inclined to lay,
but subsequently 6 to 4 was laid in good money on the son
of jaQuarciug, AtmiduightthOt9iTli oeundliterally swarm-

ing, and so earnest were all in the excitement of the occa-
sion that until three and four in the morning voices hoarse
and loud disturbed the sleep of those who had retired early
to rest. There was a sound of uproarious revelry by night,
and some hundreds of men and boys, either from the want
of means or a determination not to pay high prices,
remained in the streets without attempting rest. Some of
these formed themselves into parties and marched in bodies
all over the town, singing the American glorioso song in
glorification of John Brown, interspersed to a vocal procla-
mation that they were jolly dogs. The voices in the streets
never died away, and it was evident among those bivouac-
ing in the open air Gladiateur was not popular, as they
shouted out continual sarcasms on "t' Frenchman." At
daybreak the town was alive with a vengeance, and at five
o'clock Gladiateur did his canter on the course with Harry
Grimshaw up, and in presence of a large number of critical
spectators. That the horse created a favourable impres-
sion the betting soon indicated, as when they mustered at
the rooms the unanimous opinion was that the Frenchman
had passed a good night, and was displaying the most
healthy market symptoms.
During the progress of the morning the streetsresounded
with nothing but the shouts of flymen and tramps, who
rushed in every direction, shouting out the inquiry, " Who
says a 'krect card, gentlemen ?" and continuing the sale of
newspapers with their more mercurial occupation. The
morning dawned in a'manner betokening heat, and by noon
the sun shone with brilliancy, and the air was hot and
oppressive as in the dog-days. Even the excessive heat
was preferable to the " deluge year," as Blair Athol's is
already termed.
It really seemed wonderful where the thousands of people
came from, but endless special trains from London and the
neighbouring towns of Sheffield, Huddersfield, York, etc.,
poured hundreds on to the platform,whence they streamed
in one wide body up the High-street, and halted in front of
ffie rooms, where tho crowd was unparalleled. Just before
one o'clock the block in the main thoroughfare was tremen-
dous, and the most experienced townspeople say they had
never on any previous anniversary witnessed such dense
masses of people in the town. Of course the extended
railway facilities tends every year to increase the numeri-
cal strength of the carnival of the north. Immense
three-horse omnibuses were loaded opposite the
Reindeer as soon as they arrived, and flys as speedily ob-
tained "fares." Although the main bulk of the crowd
came by the iron way, there were some hundreds of vehicles
of all descriptions, chiefly from Sheffield, the holidaymakers
exhibiting that stolid composure indicative of an almost
overstrained interest in the race.

Such was the extreme pressure in front of the Subscription
Rooms that it was with difficulty we could force an entry,
in order to ascertain the state of the betting. There was
little alteration to chronicle from the quotations on the
previous evening. Gladiateur had passed a good night, and
6 to 4 was freely laid on him, while 4 to 1 was still accepted
about The Duke. Regalia caused her friends some concern,
as she was reported coughing, and receded to as much as
10 to 1 offered. On the other hand, Klarinska improved on
her previous night's returns, and 12 to 1 was taken about
the Whitewall mare; 20.t0 1 each was eventually offered
agst Breadalbane and Archimedes, Inquiries were made
after Zambesi, but so little was the chance of the represen-
tive of Mr. Merry heeded that 50 to 1 could be had for ask-
ing. Upon reaching the Town Moor the spectators were
fairly astonished at the amazing multitudes stretching from
the town end or starting point for the St. Leger, right past
the Red House, the mass at this portion of the moor pre-
senting an extraordinary coup d'ceil, the far side opposite
the stand being lined many deep. Owing to the brilliant
weather there was a larger number of vehicles than for
many years past. The stands were all filled, and the Babel
in the betting ring told how:earnestly wagering was being
carried on. We may remark that the air was by no means
so oppressive as on Tuesday, but was tempered with a re-
freshing breeze.
Gladiateur arrived in the paddock at the back of the
stand shortly after the first race, and walked about a long
distance off. Count Lagrange and his friends watched his
horse with the greatest anxiety, through his glass, from the
summit of the Steward's Stand, but did not descend to
the course, remaining in conversation with the Duke of
Beaufort and other patrons of the turf. On assembling in
the ring the betting on the Leger did not exhibit
any change, except that bookmakers, tempted by
the price, and their knowledge that there would be a larger
number of runnings than was at first expected, fielded with
so much freedom that they received from the backers of
the favourite 11 to 8. The Duke was firm at 4to 1, and
Regalia, when it was found she was perfectly well, re-
turned to 8 to 1; Klarinska also being inquired after at 12
to 1, but the outside division was decidedly out of favour.
The two opening races, the Municipal Stakes and the
Two-yr-old Handicap, were almost disregarded, except by
the betting fraternity and backers of horses, and even they
were excited and impatient for the issue of the St. Leger.
The race was appointed at 3.15, and up to the last avail-
able moment the crowds continued to pour on to the moor,
and when the course was cleared for the contest on which
everyone's mind was intent the excitement was manifested
in a buzz and roar which swelled up from the people in,
every part of the Stand, and on every part of the course.
Regalia was the first mounted opposite the Stand, and as
John Osborne jumped into the saddle there was an out-
burst of admiration for the splendid Oaks mare, who was
as cool and collected as her best friends could desire, al-
though when her rider put foot in the stirrup she lashed
out and sent her rider on to her neck. The field was larger
than had been anticipated, fourteen out of the twenty-four
" coloured" assembling under the orders of the starter, the
absentees being No. 3 (Exceller), No. 8 (Broomielaw), No.
12 (La Fortune), No. 14 (Wedding Peal), No. 16 (Thalia-
sins), No. 20 (Reginella), No. 21 (Olmar), No. 22 (Night-
watch). An unexpected lot of thebutside division cropped
up at the post in Heir-at-Law(Jemmy Grimshaw's mount),
Dux, Walcot, and Red Earl, while Lord Glasgow, deter-
mined to have a representative for this honourable North-
ern trophy, started a sister to Ascham, who was not en-
tered on the card. The first pair to canter down the course
were Heir-at-Law and Barbarossa, and after them Regalia,
Zambesi, Sister to Ascham, Walcot, Peeress, Breadalbane,
Dux, and the Duke, and some minutes afterwards came
Red Earl and Archimedes. The Frenchman's coming was
expected with the greatest interest, and when Jennings led
him on to the course with Harry Grimshaw in the saddle,
there was a roar of applause, and a swaying commotion all
down the sides of the course, indicative that the invincible
" blue and red" of " Glad-he-hate-ter," as he was termed
by the Yorkshiremen, was recognised. The remainder of
the competitors were waiting for the Derby winner at the
Red House straight to take his preliminary, and after
Gladiateur reached them, Mr. Elliott displayed the white
flag, in proof that the course was cleared, and the horses at
once streamed down the course towards the starting point.
Their style of going was freely criticised, and Gladiateur
came last at a gentle canter, alone in his glory. The eager-
ness of the horse-loving Yorkshiremen to inspect such a
world-wide celebrity was very great, and those pedestrians
who were not in the front ranks jumped up and down,
after the fashion of the " Perfect Cure," content with only
a passing glimpse. Gladiateur never looked better. He
was full of muscle, and as clean, cool, and hard in appear-
ance as a statue. Grimshaw's confidence was plainly dis-
played in the indifferent eye with which he glanced at his
opponent when at the post. The Duke was in the bloom
of condition, and a very taking horse, but the Derby and
Oaks winners were the Emperor and Empress of the field,
and it was easy to understand how they had been enabled
to make such an example of their fields at Epsom. Mr.
M‘George (who officiated this year as starter in place of
Mr. Marshall) led his horses in Indian file past the Stand
and back again to the starting point, where, to the infinite
satisfaction of every one, he got the squadron off at the
first attempt in admirable order, and the almost simultaneous
descent of the white and red flags was received with the
usual sensational " They're off." The race is described at
length below, and we need only refer here to its salient
points. Klarinska led the way for a mile, when she gave
Way to the Duke, while Gladiateur (who ran for a quart3r,
pefosat mile
ke
became third to The Duke, and Peeress and Regalia half
sleaystenbthut
place.one) drmeakiwougp,thane and tfhoer
half-
mile
a length in his rear; while Archimedes with Breadal-
bane were among the front division close to the rails.
The Duke and. Peeress were in trouble at the dis-
tance, and Gladiateur rushed forward in the brilliant style
in which he won the Derby. Archimedes, who came with
a dash, was beaten at the Stand enclosure, and Regalia
went on in pursuit of the Frenchman, but never could
catch him, and Gladiateur won by three lengths. Immense
excitement and a scene never before witnessed ensued, as
the horse was led back with a posse of police at his side,
and Jem Mace and several less notable pugilists in attend-
ance. The crowd were making no violent demonstration,
but in their enthusiasm they so completely hustled the jockey
that he required all the services of the surrounding party to
enable him to dismount. Gladiateur, who must be now
pretty well used to such incidents, was as collected and
quiet as possible amidst these obtrusive demonstrations.
We rejoice to say that the dreaded riot did not take place,
but had any mischief been intended,Mace,who is in training
for a fight for the championship, would have been a for-
midable captain of the French bodyguard. .flegalia ran the
good mare she is, while Lord Stamford was, as last year
with Cambuscan, third with Archimedes. The Duke was
fourth, and ran a great horse for a mile and a quarter, but
that is evidently the limit of his tether. Breadalbane was
fifth, and beaten as he was for the third time by Gladiateur,
his friends must be persuaded of his inferiority. After the
" all,right" had been pronounced by the clerk of the course,
there was a continuance of cheering, and the occupants of
the betting ring having identified Count Lagrange at the
end of the Steward's Stand, turned up their faces in that
direction, and there followed a roar of congratUlation and
waving of hats which the Count acknowledged with the
proyorbial grace and courte7 of his countrymen. The
