oilers made, we collect that the field has the call of Cos-
sack, and that Planet, Foreclosure, and Van Tromp, are
likely to be better favourites. The weather continues
extremely fine.

THE DONCASTER CUP.
The wonderful and gratifying improvement which has
been effected in the tastes of all classes, is in no work of
art more strikingly manifest than in the form and design
of the valuable pieces of plate, properly termed "cups,"
given at our several race-meetings. Twenty or thirty
years since they were so many bank notes, or, by cour-
tesy, so many guineas; or, where they took another
form, a mere pot, urn, or measure of fine silver.
or silver gilt, occasionally containing the " balance"
in hard cash. How contrasted is the racing cup
of modern days. It is now an elegant, elaborate, and
frequently a most exquisite work of art, designed
by artists at the top of their profession, and executed
by workmen with a precision and delicacy which is
hardly to be surpassed—if at all surpassed—by the most
celebrated labours of the great Italian school in its best
days. It has been our duty—a very pleasing one, cer-
tainly—to notice many such works of art, and congra-
tulate the public on the reciprocal benefits which the,
arts have conferred on the racecourse, and the race-
course on the arts; and on the patronage which artists
have received in connexion with racing from the good
taste and interference of a worthy class of persons, who
may, with great truth, be called " noble sporting gen-
tlemen." It is now our business to mention the most
recent production of this kind, and we are glad we can
speak of it in terms of unqualified approbation—we
mean the Doncaster Cup, which will be run for next
Thursday, on the famed course of which it bears the
name. The cup this year has been modelled by a
veteran in the service of the arts, viz., Mr. Cot-
terell, than whhm no artist is more capable of
producing those beautiful equestrian groups or
statuettes which ornament the mansions of noble-
men and men of rank and fortune connected with
the turf. The cup this year is a vase. The outline is
Greek, but it is enriched and embossed in the manner
of the fifteenth century, and ornamented with ara-
besques. The ornaments do not take from the purity
of the design, nor is the elegance of the shape destroyed
by too profuse an introduction of details. The cover of
this vase is surmounted with a greup of three human
figures and two horses, the rule of composition being
preserved very felicitously, whilst the introduction of a
date tree, which rises abeve the group, assists the general
effect, removes bluffness, and gives the whole an elegance
and grace. The principalco figure

mail, and wears on his head the
peculiar helmet at the time of the crusades. He is
armed with a heavy battle-axe, having the crescent-
shaped blade, a weapon in the use of which he is said
to have excelled. With this deadly instrument he has
overthrown one of his opponents, who, with his horse,
is prostrate beneath the horse of the monarch. With
his shield, the angular buckler of the Templars, on which
are emblazoned three leopards, he wards off the attack
