second, Bianca third, Honeysuckle fourth, the other two
bringing up the rear. At the Red House Bianca took
second placey,and soon afterwards Rosalins, dropped into
the rear. No further change of moment occurred until
they reached the distance, when Honeysuckle went up
and joined Jetty Treffz, who was at last defeated very
easily by a length and a-half—three lengths separating
the second from the third. Rosaline pulled up, and
walked in.

Fordham weighed for Mishap, and the number was

1 agst Scythian. Won very cleverly by a length. Three
lengths between the second and third. Scythian was
fourth, Midsummer fifth, Apollonius sixth, Tros seventh.
Neville pulled up and did not pass the post. The re-
sult of the race gave rise to a scene of the greatest up-
roar and confusion. John Scott, amidst a storm of
groans and hisses, was hustled in every direction, and
Lis party had to fight their way through the crowd to
rescue him from the Lynch law with which his exaspe-
rated assailants threatened him. Great praise is due to
Harry Broome for the protection which he promptly
and effectually afforded him. Whether Acrobat could
have wcn the St. Leger or not is a problem we are not
prepared to solve—an explanation will now doubtless
proceed from the proper quarter. Fortunately, Lord
Derby had left the course before the disgraceful scene
took place.

E. R. Clark's Ruby (F. Marson), received forfeit from
Mr. Henderson's Nelly
The " Cup," which was won to-day by Mr. Howard's
extraordinary mare Virago, is a splendid piece of plate,
valued at 300 guineas. The horses introduced into the
group of figures are after models by the well-known artist
Mr. Cotterill, the figures and accessories are by Mr. Spen-
cer. It was completed at Messrs. Garrard's manufactory,
Panton-street, Haymarket, and is an admirable specimen
of British taste and art. There are four statuettes, two
being equestrian and two on foot. The principal equ
trian figure represents the celebrated Queen Philippa,
wife of Edward 111., whilst riding through the ranks of
the English army immediately before the commence-
ment of the Battle of Neville's Cross in the county of
Durham, on October 17, 1347. The battle was con-
tested with great bravery on both sides, and many of
the incidents connected with it are recorded by Froissart,
the historian of the days of chivalry.. Although the
attendance of general company was comparatively small
on
.this " the Cup day," yet several thousands of per-
sons
were on the course, and the Business of the meet-
ing
was sustained with much interest and an unflagginm
spirit to its close—in fact, a more brilliant meeting, in
point of sport and weather, Doncaster has seldom, if •
ever, known.
