Doncaster, Monday Morningi3O
At the close of' the betting at one o'clock this morning, '3'
odds on the St. Leger were-
-7 to 4 agst Mr. W. Scott's Scroggins (Bro. to St. Giles)
4 to 1 agst Lord Lichfield's Elis—taken
9 to 1 agst Mr. Bird's Redshank—taken

40 to 1 agst Mr. Osbaldeston's Ebberston

40 to 1 aist Mr. Skipsey's The Bard
Scroggins, Elis, and Redshank, have been backed *eel'',e
especially the latter ; Wedge is quite out of the betting, tii,
Matilda colt having been backed even against him. On the
Course this morning 75 to 40 was betted against Scroggins.
Robinson will ride Elis.

Doncaster, Sunday Evening. d
A great number of fashionables have already arrived; an
from the increasing demand for lodgings of every description,
there can be no doubt that the anticipations of the inhabitants
will be fully realized. The subscription book at the betting
rooms has thus early received upwards of 400 names, inclusive
of the Duke of Cleveland, Lord G. Bentinck, Lord Eglinton,
Lord Chesterfield, Lord Kennedy, Sir F. Collier, Sir J. B°:.
well, Sir D. Baird, Sir G. Pigot, Hon. J. Westenra, Sir F.
Goodricke, Hon Charles Forester, Hon. George Anson,
George Byng, Hon. E. Mostyn, Lord Mostyn, Colonel pee',
Colonel Eyre, Colonel Copland, Colonel Hancox, Colonel
Montagu, Colonel Crauford, Colonel Cradock, Colonel Hunt"
ley, Colonel Hildyard, Colonel Camac, Captain Ewbee",
Major Worrall, Major Willcock, Major Hancock, Major Des"
biggen, Captain Taylor, Captain White, Captain Balloter:
Captain Fairlie, Messrs. Bowes, M. P. : Codrington,
Gully, M. P. ; Worrall, Crommelin, Payne, Hawker, E. rn"
Baring, Bayly, Baker, Walker, &c.
The Stewards (Lord Eglinton and Sir F. Goodricke) bave
contributed a 300 Guinea Cup of a novel and splendid dn;
scription ; it will be run for on Thursday, under the On'
conditions. Queen of Trumps and Touchstone are the fel;
rites, hut at present the St. Leger so completely absorbs t
general attention that speculation on any other race is out of
the question. Next to the St. Leger and the Cup the prin-
cipal events to come off are the Champagne Stakes (to-lea"
row), and the other Two Year Old Stakes on Thursday. The'
former, out of a nomination of twenty-five, furnishes only VI"-
which have appeared as winners, ciz., Calender and Jereed;"
the first-named having won at the Liverpool Craven Meetinre
beating a strong field, and on the same ground, in the Jt"/
Meeting, received a signal defeat from Bangalore. Jereed Won
at York, beating a jady two-year old, and has not been 00
since. The Stake on Thursday is more prolific of winners,
ra
we find in it Slashing Harry, a gallant winner against go
fields at Catterick, and York ; Bangalore, a winner of tvics
races at the Liverpool July Meeting ; and the Duke of Cleve.-
land's Matilda colt, which won his races at Catterick, New-
castle, and York, in a canter. Good fields are expected for
both races.

THE ST. LEGER (TUESDAY).
The field for this race, at the same time that it will exe,eed
last year's, will, numerically, fall considerably short the
average, but its deficiency in number will be made up ;.ndlti,.,
lity, most of the favourites have signalized themselves na pubaa
—their several pretensions, indeed, have, until lately, appear
so equal that those who have been inclined to " put mi." a btt
have found it a ticklish matter to make their selection. Withtsi
out entering into particulars of their performances (which, 1.7
the way, have been repeatedly the subject of reference or de"
tail), we shall proceed to notice what has been said and do
e,il
about it. We have already given the names of the Le S:
horses arrived; since then Scott's lot has come in from riba
burn—it comprehends the Brother to St. Giles (christens
Scroggins), Snyders, and Carew, the Rachel colt ( HamptiJllN
and the once prominent favourite, Gladiator, being left be;
hind—whether he will come in by himself, as Hornsea
year, we are unable to state, but his backers have given!ail'
hopes of a start, from an apparently well-founded. convictle
that Scroggins is the best of the lot. It is expected that
field will be composed of the following horses :—Scroggiri*
Elis, The Black Diamond, Beeswing, Carew, Snyders,
motive, Ebberston, The Bard, Trapball, Wedge, Vulture,!r,
Redshanks. Mr. Fox has The Carpenter here, and the
of Leeds Miss Lora, one of which two is not unlikely to shell'
Wallace and the Matilda colt are also here, but it is doubrr.
whether either will show : Locomotive is also doubted. P 4
