DONCASTER RACES.

. (From our own Special Turf Correspondent).
DONCASTER, Tuesday Morning.

We shall have a great meeting here, for up to last night
more than a hundred and fifty horses were quartered in
the locality. Most of these were at exorcise on tho
Town Moor early this morning ; and amongst
them we especially noted Achievement, Grand
Cross, Knight of the Crescent, Lord Lyon, Marksman,
Podargus, Regalia, Rustic, Rama, Repulse, Rapid Rhone's
dam colt, Strathconan, Tormentor, Scour do Charite, West-
wick, and War. The two Leger cracks, Lord Lyon and
Savernake did not arrive until after 4 o'clock yesterday,
and the former went to the Salutation, whilst the latter
was taken to the King's Read. Unfortunately during
exercise yesterday Elland hurt himself ; but we understand
that Mr. R. Sutton is determined to run Lord Lyon for the
Doncaster Cup, whataver his Leger fate may be, and for
the Doncaster Stakes also.

The ground is not near so heavy as our metropolitan
friends generally fancy it is, and this morning Gardevisure
(ridden by Thomas) took Lord Lyon (with Custance up) a
nice steady gallop• of over a mile and a half, and no ani-
mal in the world could move or look better than the Two
Thousand and Derby hero. Dover has bvidently given
him a splendid preparation, for the colt is as fine as a star,
as hard as nails, as strong as a lion, and as docile as a
lamb. He cannot possibly be beaten, for Mr. Sutton makes no
secret of his being pounds better than he was on the
Derby day (in fact as good as Elland at even weights),
and it is very certain that Custance will be half a stone
better jockey in the north than he was in the south. His
lordship, too, likes the course, and his legs are
free from all trace of infirmity. Gardevisure also gave
Achievement a gentle gallop. Grand Cross and Scour de
Charite went brilliantly, as did Friponnier. Liddington
led Marksman and the Blanche of Middlebie filly, and Mr.
Merry's colt is certainly much improved, and lays well
down to his work. Mat Dawson galloped Opoponax,
Pericles, Misfortune and Moleskin. Mini is look-
ing very dickey, but he may possibly be a Leger starter,
as may Artesian, Emigrant, and the Irish representative
Assassin. Regalia galloped by herself as usual, and is
looking first class. The same may be said of Caithness.
Podargus (J. Osborne riding) went at three parts speed
with Quick March; and Strathconan (J. Snowden up)
was taken along at a merry pace by Dolan ; the
four-year-old Flutter colt piloting Savornake jChal-
loner in the saddle), all a mile and a half at fair spend.
War showed the way for Weetwick, the whole of the
Leger course, the latter doing it beautifully ; but Knight
of the Crescent (Norman), led by Knight of St. Michael,
did not go quite so far as Mr. Bowes's couplet. Jack-in the
Green galloped Rustic, and Repulse followed Crytheia
and Ischia, Rustic looks a different horse altogether to
what he did on the Knavesmire, but ho is unquestionably
a soft-hearted brute. Artesian appears very fit, and Ostre-
