STALLION.
Sweetmeat, by Gladiator „. 300
From the badness of the prices and the great number
of lots bought in, it is plain that the want of a foreign
market is severely felt by breeders.
We have to supply another omission, by stating that
Mr. Hibburd attended, by order of Sir J. Hawley, one
of the stewards, for the purpose of starting the horses,
but no official notice having been given to Mr. Birley,
and Sir Joseph not having arrived, it was decided, after
some discussion, that Mr. Birley should perform that
duty this afternoon. Mr. Hibburd conies into office to-
morrow.
The rooms were crowded to excess this evening, and a
fair amount of business has been transacted on the three
leading favourites, Canczou having backers at anything
above 7 to 4, while 2 to I was currently offered against
Surplice, who, before dinner, had a slight call. 7to 2 and
4 to I was laid to a large amount agst Flatcatcher, and
7to 1 offered agst Justice to Ireland. Prices at mid-
night.

WEDNESDAY'S RACES.
The impossibility of sending a parcel from Doncaster
during the race-week, with a certainty of reaching its
destination, obliges us to forward our report by a horse
express to Masborough; hence our dispatches are neces-
sarily hurried, and nothing in the shape of detail can be
given after the half-past three o'clock race, for the re-
sul:s of the events decided after that time we are in-
debted to the Telegraph Company. For
eyenagr stakes run
for at Goodwood, Liverpool, York, and elsewhere, haves and that the
:old
this reason we
must make short work of preliminary matter.
That Doncaster has suffered greatly from the rapid
numbermarch oof improvementfriehand
at
importantother
t h ee-
lessened the interest attached to the' St. Leger, is not to
be gainsaid; if any doubt existed on the point, it must
have been removed by the comparatively thin attendance
yesterday, and by the absence to-day of the bustle which
of old disturbed the slumbers of the inhabitants long be-
fore daybreak. The falling off, and it was not confined
to numbers, was too evident to escape notice; still, the
St. Leger will always be a, very attractive race, and so it
d to-day, the stand being. crowded to excess, and
prove
making a
every part of the course good numerical ap-
pearance. The weather was favourable, and the bill of
faro ample.
In order to give Mr. Tattersall time to get through
his sale the racing did not commence till half past two ;
the St. Leger, hitherto usually the second race, being
fixed for four o'clock, fourth in the list.
A Plate of 501., given by the Corporation, added to a
