THE ALADDIN CASE.

This case was investigated on Tuesday, and, after a
patient hearing of the arguments, it was poitponed for
further consideration until Wednesday, when the follow-
ing decision was announced :
" After hearing ail the evidence that has been ad-
duced, and inspecting the books of Messrs. Tattersall,
we have come to the conclusion that the horse called
Aladdin has been wrongly described as a cult by Ilarka-
way— Ukraine, and therefore that he is not entitled
to the Severnake Forest Stakes, which must be paid over
to the owner of the second horse in that race. We con-
sider ourselves bound at the same time to declare our
opinion that no fraud with regard to the horse has been
committed or intended by Mr. Edwin Parr, the horse
having passed into his hands with the pedigree under
which he has been running, and of which he had no rea-
son to doubt the correctness.

" T. CHALMERS SMITI,
" GEORGE PAYNE,
" C. GREVILLE."

The horse is by Harkaway—Gretna. The Ukraine
horse went blind, and was sold at Tattersalls' to Lord
Palmerston, on whose estate it worked.up to July last.

DONCASTER RACES.

Active preparations are now being made at Doncaster
for the great autumn meeting, which will commence on
Tuesday, the 16th inst. An unusually large attend-
ance is expected in consequence of the termination of
the war in the East having liberated from foreign
service many military supporters of the turf, who, with
their friends, usually constitute a considerable proportion
of the visitors at the Doncaster September meetings.
Most of the regular attendants have already secured
apartments in the town, and the inquiry for lodgings in-
creases daily. All the inhabitants who turn their domes-
tic accommodation to account on these occasions are
busily preparing for the reception of visitors, while the
renovation of the exterior of both private and public
buildings renders it easy to perceive that the town is
undergoing its annual course of purification. The betting-
rooms are being put in order, and arrangements are be-
ing made for bringing the electric telegraph wires into
the establishment by a connexion with the main line of
communication at the railway station. The racecourse
is in fine order, the exce lent drainage under the running
ground having given it all the benefit of the late heavy
rains without injuring the condition of the turf. The
west end of the principal balcony of the Grand
Stand will be appropriated to the use of the stewards.
The Electric Telegraph Company will be accom-
modated with an office between the Grand Stand
and the Noblemen's Stand. The sum of money
to be run for amounts to 1,700 guineas. The prospects
of the sport are good, the entries being unusually large,
for nearly all but the handicap races. There are 30
events set down for the four days,—eight for the first,
seven for the second, seven for the third, and eight for
the fourth. For the Champagne Stakes there are 29

against 10 ; Glasgow Stakes, 8 against 8 ; Gre,,t York-
shire Handicap, 83 against 96 ; Doncaster Plate, 15

ing demand, for the • discontkluance of the " feather "
