SPORTING NOTES.

LIVERPOOL AND DONCASTER.

In running the Steeplecbage off on Saturday, Mr.
Tophata was compelled to adopt a very unpleaFant
alternative. The ground was in ;tarts as hard as brick
bats, and in some places as rotten as a quicksand.
Tlac, race, therefore, cannot be said to afford a test
of the merits of the horses that went to the post; but

although the race was not to the swift, it was to the

sure-footed. Two prominent favourites were at last
introduced into the betting with a force which COLU-
pletely astounded people. Treachery and Lough Bawn
were made the leading favourite; but the former cut

her heel, and the latter was beaten so far from home
that they who had entertained doubts of his staying
quaiitles were swished, and others who had regarded
with dis-atisfaction the movements which were made
relative to the horse in the Turf Market were pleased.
I have nothing to add by way of commentary to the
account, of the "event" which was published in The
Sun yesterday, but I must record the generally expressed
opinion that Mr. Topham laboured diligently to pro-
mote spot, and that his efforts were not attended by
that success which he des, reed.
At my present writing, well-founded doubts are
entertained as to whether the Doncaster Meeting will
rake !lace or not. In yesterday's Sun I gave my opinion
respecting the probable result of the principal events,
and the uncertainty which now esiNti as to the prac-
ticability of celebrating the meeting, which renders it
unnece.4ary that I should extend my remarks to the
'second day's spert. "Snow is on the ground," and
another postponement has been found necessary. The
races will not take place till Friday and Saturday.

PAIR-OARED RICE.

A. spirited boat-race was rowed yesterday between
William K.,ox (waterman) of Blackfriare, and Alfred
Hamm (landsman), and Richard Tisdale (waterman), of
Strand-lare, and Robert Aylmer (landsman), four man
of considerable pretension as oarsmen.
The performances of Tisda a at the Temple Regatta,
and the prowess exhibited by Knox at the Christchurch
an r sal Re,,a-ta, and in various priyrite engagements, bad
given promise of a god race between them.
The race was f. r UK a-aide, and the 'distance from
Battersea-nridg, to Lambeth-pier. Knox and Hamm
had the choice of -tation, but their opponents were the
favourites a. 7to 6. Mr. A. Mackie (the stakeholder)
having b'ien chosen referee, the men got to their
stations. They got off very evenly together at a clipping
pace (in two of Mr E. tVyld's new wherries), and in that
position con mulled rowing to the Cadogan-pier, where
Tisdale and Aylmer by extra irdivary rowing, drew their
stern setting thawt level wiih the nose of their op-
ponent's boat, and at the Old Swan were a clear length
ana a-half ahead, where they continued only for a few
pulls, K,iox al.d Hamm b-coming nearly level. But
here they were too mar each oMer .far a clear right-
away race, which caused a foul wn opposite Battersea
Park-pier ; they both, however, reconciled to the matter
as merely accident, accidental, and again went away oar
and oar ; and so continued, rowing a severe race to
Pimlico-pier, where Tisdale and Aylmer again drew a-
head a boat's length, and maintained their lead to Nine
Eims-pier. Knox and Hamm then gradually stole
upon their opponents, and on nearing Vauxhal'-bridge
were close upon them, but they were unequal to the
task of keeping pace with the apparently untiring power
of Tisdale and Aylmer, who in making the shoot to
Vauxhall-bridge, gradually went away from their
opponents, and beat ihem by about two or three lengths
at the finish.
