THE CUP.
Touchstone the favourite, as neither the Queen of Trumps nor
Elis will run.
The St. Leger settling went off quietly.

Doncaster, Tuesday Night.
None but those who have witnessed it can form an idea of
the excitement displayed at Doncaster on the Leger day. It
differs essentially from the grand day at Epsom, where the vi-
sitors, proceeding at once to the course, arc distributed over
a much larger surface, and do not. exhibit that enthusiasm for
which, at least in racing matters, the north country people are
so proverbial. Here there is no occasion for exclaiming,
York, you're wanted !" for, wet or dry, a thoroughbred
Yorkshireman is sure to see "t' Leger " run for. Missing
only the carriage-and-six which formed so stately a feature in
the Leger day some twenty Sears ago, we did not recognise
any innovation or change in the day's proceedings. There was
the same rattling of carriages at all hours of the morning—the
same influx of foot people—the same noise, crowding, and con-
fusion as ever ; every thing, in fact, that we have seen for
years, and shall continue to see till the St. Leger shall lose
its high pretensions. As we have before intimated, this, with
Yorkshiremen, is a day to be kept ; and we have the authority
of many years' experience for asserting that on no former oc-
casion has it been celebrated with more animation, or more
productively to the inhabitants ; Christmas day or Good Fri-
day could not have been more strictly observed.
In the morning the betting-room was the focus for specula-
tors ; upwards of eight hundred were squeezed into it, and
business to some amount transacted. About one o'clock it
was cleared, and there was a general move towards the course;
at this time the streets were so thronged that the foot people
who were unacquainted with the shorter and safer road across
the fields were in constant danger from the countless visita-
tions of inexperienced Johns and careless riders, who contri-
buted to swell the stream of thoughtless sinners anathematised
in the affiches which met the eye in every direction. The
crowd on the rare-ground was immense ; every spot from which
a glimpse of the horses could be obtained was covered; all the
minor stands were full, and the grand one crowded to excess,
its spacious balconies teeming with beauty and fashion, and its
roof trembling beneath the weight of those who were awaiting
with throbbing hearts, the eventful race, " big with the fate of
thousands."

Without infringing upon other duties, we could not give
any thing like a complete list of the fashionables ; at present,
therefore, we give only a small portion of them, reserving a
full account for the end of the meeting.

The weather was cold and gloomy, with occasional showers;
it cleared up, however, before the racing commenced, and con-
tinued dry throughout the remainder of the day. The running
began with—

Mr. Turner's ch.:f. by Recovery out of Primrose 3
Betting-5 and 6t04 on the Priam filly. The three got
off well together, and continued so to the distance, where
Wrestler went in front, the favourite lying behind, with wait-
ing orders. A few strides from home she went up, shook off
the Wrestler without an effort, and won easily by two or three
lengths.

old; colts, Bst. 61b. ; fillies, Bst. 31b. The second to receive 100

The following also started, but were not placed :—Mr. Orde's
b. f. Beeswing, by Dr. Syntax (R. Johnson) ; Mr. E. Mostyn's
Trapball, by Battledore (Robinson); Mr. Osbaldeston's br. c. Eb-
berston, by Velocipede (Rogers) ; Zr. Allanson's ch. 1. Vulture, by
Langer (Darling) ; Lord Westminster's b. c. Snyders, by Teniers,

tive, by Waverley (Holmes); Mr. Bird's b. c. Redshank, by
Sandbeck (Nat); Colonel Westenra's br. c. Wedge, by Picton
(Conolly); Mr. S. Fox's b. c. The Carpenter, by Lottery (Tem-
pleman) ; Sir. Skipsey'sbr. c. The Bard, by Waverley (Heseltine);
Lord Eglinton's bl. c. The Black Diamond, by Jerry (Nelson).
The following statement of the betting at the breaking up
of the ring, will show very few changes of moment from the
odds last quoted by us to 4 agst Scroggins, 7 to 1 agst
Elis, Bto 1 agst Trapball, 10 to I agst Wedge, 10 to 1 agst
Redshank (taken), 14 to 1 agst Beeswing (taken), 20 to 1
agst Vulture, 20 to 1 agst Black Diomond, 30 to 1 agst Sny-
ders (taken), and any odds agst the others. In the course of
the day Snyders was backed- to win nearly twenty thousand
pounds at 25 and 30 to 1. The race was appointed to be run
at half-past three o'clock, by which time the horses appeared
at the post, having previously heard the riot act read (a cant
phrase for the starter's instructions), and taken the customary
gallops before the grand stand. Vulture, however, was not
exactly in the right mood at the moment, nor did The Car-
penter appear to have any relish for the approaching conflict,
so that between the two a couple of false starts occurred, a
proof that, however well they manage these things at Doncas-
ter, they are not quite infallible. At a third effort they got off
well, Wedge lying in front until near the Gravel-road, where
he resigned the lead to Carew and took second place, having
Beeswing, Black Diamond, Redshank, and Locomotive next
him, all well laid up ; the two cracks were in the ruck, and
Trapball and Snyders in the rear of all. In this order, and at
an excellent pace, they travelled over the hill, on sinking which
Black Diamond headed Wedge, laid second for about a quarter
of a mile, and then began to discover that neither the pace nor
the distance suited him. The other horses composing the front
rank kept their places, but the two favourites were now seen
creeping up from the rear, so as to be very forward at the Red
House—there they ran by Carew, followed by Beeswing,
Carew retiring to the rear, and Sn3.ders, The Bard, and The
Carpenter taking up a position behind the other three. (It
was observable that, notwithstanding the pace, there were as
yet, no symptoms of tailing.) At the turn near the rails Elis
had a commanding* lead, Scroggins and Beeswing running be-
hind him, and at the distance the three were quite distinct
from the other horses ; Elis having so much the best of the
andthem
race that the only doubt existing was, which of the other two
would be second ; at this point the beaten horses dropt off very

won it by a head only, and it doesrather hardthe
Newcastle upon
Newcastle people tl •
that their favourite mare, after running so
good a race, should not even be placed. Snyders and the
hard ran in about a length and a half behind Beeswing,and

are ourth • it was a near thing. The
Carpenter was sixth, Hedge, Redshank, Locomotive, and Eb-
berston next ; then Vulture and Trapball, and lastly Black
Diamond and Carew most of them having pulled up on finding
their chances out. The race was run in about 3 minutes and
20 seconds. Value of the Stakes after the usual deductions,
1,8251., independent of which the Noble Earl and a few of his
friends have won an immense sum in betts, Scott's party and
nearly all the betting men having lost considerably. It is now
the turn of the south country to triumph over the north, their
favourite having been trained by a Newmarket groom, and
ridden by a Newmarket jockey. We subjoin his pedigree
He was got by Langer out of Olympia (bred in 1815 by Lord
Stamford), by Sir Oliver, her dam Scotilla by Anvil, out of
Scots by Eclipse—Harm
ony by Herod, out of Rutilia. After
this race and the Derby who shall deny that public running is
the surest criterion, and who shall say that a caravan is not as
good a conveyance for a racehorse as it is for an elephant ?
The afternoon's sport terminated with—
The Cleveland Stakes of '25 sous. each, 15 ft., and only 5 if de-
clared, &c., with 50 added by the Corporation _

save his stake. One mile. 7 Subs., two of whom paid 5 sous. each.
