DONCASTER RACES —Tirupsntr.
The Cup at Doncaster is a race of so much interest not only
to sporting men, but to the middling classes, that it rarely
fails to attract a large company. It produced is accustomed
effect this afternoon, the anxiety to witness the contest for it
having been increased in no inconsiderable degree by the be-
lief that the favourite north country mare, Beeswing, would
have a worthy competitor in the terror of the Curragh, Hark.
away, and that an equally formidable rival would enter the
lists in the person of the St. Leger winner, Don John. Part
of this anticipated pleasure was realised, but for some (not
very creditable we fear) reason, Harkaway, although in the
best condition, was not suffered to show. Mr. Ferguson's
conduct in the affair was discusSed in language, which, if it
reached his ears, must have proved rather disagre?able.
Fortunately for the sport the weather was favourable in the
extreme, and some excellent racing made amends for previous
deficiencies.

The following is a full return :
