Monarque or Ventre St. Gris out of Lady Lift, have left
the Royal-Lieu training quarters, and gone back to the stud
establishment, Dangu.
Emblem broke down the other morning whilst George
Stevens was riding her a gallop, and is struck out of all
engagements. She will be put to Tim Whiffler. It will
be a long time before Lord Coventry gets another like her
—the winner of the Liverpool Grand National, Derby,
Doncaster, Birmingham, Warwick, and two Cheltenham(
Grand Annual Steeplechases ; and it is rather singular
that George Stevens, who won so often on the old mare,
should have riden her in her very last gallop.
We learn from Chantilly that M. Desvignes's Mon Arnie
broke a small bone in the knee whilst jumping a few days
back. Auvernia, Mon-Meilleur, Pentra, and Voleuse, all
two year olds, have arrived at Major Fridolin's stables at
La Morlaye. The celebrated trotting mare Bayadere is
engaged in several steeplechases at La Marche. M. Vail-
lant's Ortega has just died at La Morlaye from an attack of
colic. The brood mare Recompense, by Weathergage, dam
by Simoom, has been purchased for Belgium. Mr. T.
Carter has sold Volga, by Cossack out of Illustration, to
M. Poiret. M. Cardon has purchased Lucette from Vis-
count de Buisseret.
THE FRENCH " CaAcKs."—An able writer in Le Sport
thus winds up his review of racing on the Continent :
"In summing up these various indications—but little posi-
tive, we admit, and further subject to much future revi-
sion—the horses of 1866 already known appear to us divi-

Bible into three verydistinct classes. Czar and Stilton con.

stitute the first—very near together, if not quite equal.
The second is composed of Puebla, Etoile Filante, Strato-
nice, Favorite, Bayonette, Lesbas, and Genetyllis, in the
order named. La Germaine, Collet, Monte, Due de Bour-
gogne, Voulis, Ultima, Juliette, Castagnette, °inns, Le
Nil, Fleur des Bois, and Sans Pariel, judging merely by
facts, may be placed in the third class. This classification
cannot, however, be considered as definite, at least for all.
Some among them, either from want of condition or other
unfavourable circumstances, may not occupy their real
place. We believe, for instance, that Duc de Bourgogne
will improve his position, if we may judge from his fine
appearance, magnificent action, and, pedigree (Monarque
and Trust) equal to any. This is not the place to examine
the perforniances of the French fillies in England, and it
would be difficult to estimate their significance compared
with those of their contemporaries still in France. This
impossibility contributes largely to prolong doubts as to
the coming season. We especially regret in this respect

;he accident to Puebla in the Grand Criterium. Her per-

formance might have served as a guide, and modified the
expectation which will now be probably prolonged until
the first spring meetings."

IMPROVEMENTS ON DONCASTER RACE COMM.—The
Town Council have decided, on the recommendation of
the Race Committee, to cry out certain alterations at the
enclosure and race course, in order to give the public
itg is greater facilities
h
tatt hhtane sameheret shall be completedoforetowitnessthe beforeraces h
; and
next September meeting. The suggestions made by the
Race Committee are not confined to the Enclosure, but a
general and careful inspection of the course has been made,
and the result is that a scheme has been propounded, which,
when accomplished, will materially add to the comfort as
well as to the convenience of all who attend the meeting.
The most important change to be made is at and near the
enclosure itself. Commencing at the St. Leger starting
post the railings on the Grand Stand side will be taken up
and carried into the course (as now contemplated) a dis-
tance of seven yards, gradually diminishing to a point east
of the enclosure. The course will consequently be nar-
rowed for a length of several hundred yards, but the cur-
tailment will leave it amply wide enough ; whilst the space
enclosed will add materially to the area where the public
delight to stand—the space next the road, from whence
the best view of the St. Leger start is obtained, besides in-
creasing the area of the ring very considerably. A portion
of the ground abutting on the enclosure at its eastern ex-
tremity is to be let to the "outside" betting men, who will
then, we understand, be enabled to have their boxes and
other appliances necessary to carry on their "calling." At
the end of the line of booths temporary booths will be
allowed, and for this purpose the ground as far as the In-
take farm gate (in the direction of the Red House), and, if
necessary, beyond it, is set apart for that purpose, and
waggons and carriages will not, as heretofore, be allowed
to take up a position there. Carriages must draw up in
the railings next to and on the other side of tho road from

these booths ; and waggons are to find room as best they
may, beyond the line of carriages, near the Red House. In
front of both waggons and carriages will be the inner rail-
, ings, where the public may and do congregate in no in-
considerable numbers. Several minor alterations are de-
termined upon, such as the laying down of pipes in
the drain opposite the Rifle Butt, and covering over
the same ; the removal of the Rifle Butt mantlet and
the taking down of a projection in the passage of the
Grand Stand, which is a serious obstruction to the ingress
and egress of visitors. The public may judge from the im-
provements thus foreshadowed that the Town Council of
Doncaster are as anxious as ever to afford all possible ac-
commodation to the tens of thousands who assemble on
the moor during the September gathering ; and if further
evidence were necessary of the desire that actuates them
to meet the requirements of the public we have it in the
appointment of Mr. Moore, Mr. Geo. Hatfield, Mr. Foster,
Mr. Sorsby, and Mr. Stockil as a sub-committee to ascer-
tain what improvements aro adopted at other large meet-
ings, with power to decide upon their applicability to the
Doncaster course. The Town Council, as well as the Race
and Sub-Committees, will no doubt exercise every care in
order that the prestige of the Doncaster Race Meeting shall
not merely be maintained, but increase year by year.--
