DONCASTER RACES.

(From the Doncaster Gazette of Friday.)
THE GREAT ST. LEGER.
There never was a period, perhaps. when greater fillo-

this race, than li,we been exhibited in the state of the
betting since the day of nomination. Great changes have
taken place during tie year but they have been of a
character totally different from those which have lately
presented themselves. The present list contains no de-
cided flyer whose public performances have kept him atthe top of the betting. The running, indeed, of several
horses. has been more equal than during the course of se-
veral years ; and it is not too much, under all circum-
stances, to anticipate that the Great St. Leg, this year
will prove a desperate and closely contested race, un'ess,
as seems at present unlikely, a decided flyer should
spring up and bear away the prize. The equal'ty too, of
the respective competitors who are in bettimz, will pro-
bably he maintained by the excellent state of the course

cided strength, if the course were very heavy, would en-
