D ONCA S TER RA CE S.—..W.goxraper.
The list for this afternoon promised four races; two, how-
ever, turned out to be " walks over," and had it not been for
some excellent racing for the Plate, the sport would have been
as short as it was unimportant. The weather was beautiful,
and the company about on a par with the average of attend-
ances on Wednesday, which, owing to the settling and the
sales, has always been the worst day of the five. The follow-
ing are all the details required :
The Foal Stakes of 100 sovs. each, h. ft., for three yrs old colts
and fillies. One mile and a half. 3 Subs.
Mr. Bowes's The Jagger
The Doncaster Stakes of 10 soya. each, with 50 added by the Cor-
poration, for three yrs old and upwards. Two miles. 4 Suhs.
Mr. Bow.s's Epirus
The Selling Stakes of 10 sevs. each, with 30 added by the Cor-
poration, for three yrs old, fist. 121 b; four yrs, Bst ; five yrs,
Bst. 71b; six )rs and aged, Bst. 10Ib. The winner to be sold
for 200 SOTS. if demanded, &c. St. Leger Course. 7 Subs.
Sir W. Scott's b. h. The Count, by Figaro, aged ...Cartwright 1
Mr. S. King's br. g. Remnant, .5 yrs
Mr. Cook's b. f. Wonder, 3 yrs
Mr. Pettit's b. f. Anne Boleyn, 3 yrs 4
Mr. Greenwood's b. f. Victoria, 3 yrs
Mr. Blakelock's bl. f. Yarico, 4 yrs
Betting-5 to 4 agst The Count, 4to 1 agst Yarico (taken), 4
to 1 agst Anne Boleyn, and 6to 1 agst Remnant. The Count
made all the running, with the others clustered together at his
heels, and won by a length after a pretty race.
The Corporation Plate of 50 sovs. for three years old, 6st. 71b. ;
four yrs., 7st. 91b. ; five yrs., Bst. 31b. ; six yrs. and aged,
Bst. 101 b. ; mares allowed 31bs. The second to receive 24 gs.
Heats, two miles.
Mr. S. King's b. c. Vernal, by Actaeon, 4 yrs Lye 3 1 1
Mr. Wormald's ch. c. Fieschi, 4 yrs
Mr. Bell's br. c. Humphrey, 3 yrs 4 3 3
Mr. Osbaldston's br. c. Allerston, 3 yrs
The joekt y weighed for The Count, who did not run ; the an-
nouncement, however, was not made until after money had been
laid out on Fieschi at odds, which would not hate been betted had
it been known that The Count was not to go.
First Heat.—Even on Fieschi, and 3to 1 agst Humphrey. The
favourite took the lead, followed by Allerston, kept it to the end,
and won by a length.
Second Heat.--5 to 4 agst Fieschi, 7to 4 agst Humphrey, and
3to 1 agst Vernal. Humphrey cut out the work with the others
at his stern till within two distances of the chair, where Vernal and
Fieschi went alongside ; a splendid race home terminated in favour
of Vernal by a head.
Third Heat.-_5 to 4on Vernal, and 6to 4 agst Fieschi (taken'

Another magnificent race between Vernal and Pieschi ; the former,
after waiting till the last, winning by a head only.
It is to b hoped that the managers of this meeting will on
all future occasions continue their recently adopted plan of
sending to the betting ring a list of the horses to start; it will
increase the interest, and prevent trickery.
An incident occurred before the first race which would have
been attended with serious consequences but for an extraordi-
nary instance of self-possession. A horse took fright, and ran
away with, in this case, a very awkward appurtenance, in the
shape of a gig, in which, besides the driver, was a Miss
Brooke. The driver was soon thrown to the ground, land the
lady's prospect was bad enough ; however, she retained not
only her scat but her nerves, and with admirable coolness
guided the horse with the whip, keeping him clear of hillocks
and ditches by an occasional cut on the proper side, and, suf-
fering him to; " go on" till he tired, stopped him without any
mishap. Nine men out of ten would have jumped out and
left horse and chaise to their fate.
THE ST. LZSER.
We hasten to correct an inaccuracy in our description of
this race. lon and Lanercost did not lie second and third
throughout; on the contrary, Alzira headed lon from the first
gravel road to the hill, and again in descending it; he fol-
lowed Don John till round the Red House, where he gave up,
and the other two resumed their positions. Cobham headed
Lanercost at the distance, but broke down the instant after.
The settling took place this morning at the betting-room,
and went off remarkably well ; money seemed to be more
plentiful than usual, and we did not hear of a single defaulter.
