DONCASTER MEETING.

DONCASTER, MONDAY NIGHT.

In our last we briefly alluded to the reported sale of
Ludlow to the Fang party, and a consequent suspicion of
the motives of the purchasers. During the whole of the
evening this was the engrossing topic, betting being en•
tirely out of the question, for no one could tell how to
move till someting definite was known as to whether the
horse was actually sold.—whether he was to run, and, Han
(and this was the most important query), whether he was
to run to win. It was commonly understood that some ol
the reputed buyers stood very heavy against this horse,
nor did many hesitate to assert that the purchase was
effected to ensure safety. To counteract the mischief,
some proposed that all bets respecting Ludlow should be
declared off; others, that the parties should be called upon
to cover; and some even declared that they would not
pay them if their horse won. Things went on in this
way till 10 o'clock last night, at which hour Mr. Beards-
worth (Ludlow's proprietor) entered the room, which wa.
then very full, and formally declared that he had not sold
his horse ; but that he was open to a customer for him at
the price he had all along asked,—five thousand guineas !
To give weight to his statement, Mr. Beardswortb made
two or three bets that he ran, also that he won, and dieted
to take 30 to 1 outright. Neither the explanation nor the
bets, however, had the effect of restoring confidence, fin
the one came full seven hours afer the sale was rumoured,
and the bets were not to an amount sufficient to satisfy al
parties. Mr. Beardsworth certainly had a right to sell his
horse, and no one could implicate him in any unfair pro•
ceedings subsequently, but it is to be regretted he had not
come forward sooner, for in great races like the St.
Leger the public have a right to be protected. Early this
morning it was publicly announced that Mr. B. had solo
Ludlow to a Mr. Bond for the sum quoted above. This
Mr. Bond is reported to have backed him to a cousiderabl.
amount. Thete are few who doubt that some kind of
sale bad taken place originally, and that something war
intended not exactly consistent with the strict rules of
racing, and at this moment the majority of the sporting
people here look upon Ludlow as quite safe. In the mean
time some little business has been done in the St. Leger
Nitocris has all at once dropped off to 15 to 1, higher odd
having been betted against her in the course of the after-
noon; a, she goes, and is well, we presume her friend.
have at length discovered that the race at York was a mis-
take. Fang is i❑ great force, and plenty of money has been
laid upon Brother to 11aria and Margrave.
Amongst the latest arrivals is Lord Althorp, who is
accompanied by his visiters, the Duke of Richmond and
Sir James Graham.

The following is a return of this day's running :

b. 1. by Whisker, also started, but were not placed. Bet
ting 7 to 4 on Birmingham, and 3 to 1 agar. Consol.
The latter made running at a very moderate pace, Scufll•
lying in his wake, and Birmingham last. There was of
change either in pace or place till near the rails, when
Birmingham began to creep up, Scuffle at the same timt
passing Consol. They kept together to the distance post.
at which point Scuffle and Miss Fanny had evidently dout
their best. Birmingham, Volage, and Consol, made a
beautiful race home, the former winning by barely a neck.
and Volage being not more than that behind Consols

severe face between the two was won by Lord Cleveland'.
