bringing up the rear. At the Red House Bianca took
second place, and soon afterwards Rosaline dropped into

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.

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 great est up-
roar and confusion. John Scott, amidst a storm of
groans and hisses, was hustled in every direction, 2.nd
his party had to fight their way through the crowd to
rescue him from the Lynch law with which his exas.pe.
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.

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 eques-
trian figure represents the celebrated Queen Philippa,
wife of Edward HI., 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 cf chivalry. Although the
attendance of general company was comparatively small
on this "the Cup day," yet several thousands of pe,--
sons were on the coarse, and the business of the mee,;-
ins was sustained with much interest and au unflau,i P- n
spirit to its close—in fact, a more brilliant niet•tiu6g, u'
point of sport and weather, Doncaster has seldom,
