ABSTRACT OF KILLED AND WOUNDED.

THE ST. LEGER DAY.
Due observance was paid to St. Leger. The fes-
tival was sustained with unflagging spirit and in-
tesest, and not an "untoward incident" occurred to
detract from the enjoyment of the visitors. Trains
from London and the manufacturing districts ar-
rived in rapid succession throughout the morning,
and long before noon the streets we,:e crowded. In
the vicinity of the Subscription-rc,om people con-
gregated in large masses, and it was evident from
the anxiety and curiosity which they evinced that
the monopoly which Promised Lund had secured of
the betting tended rather to deiven than diminish
the interest with which the public generally re-
garded the race. The assemblage on the Town-moor
was immense, and the Grand. Stand seemed roofed
by human heads. A clear atmosphere and a bright
sun added to the pictureseque effect of a scene which
would lave appeared. gay and animated even on
the ilreariest November day- When the bell rang
out for saddling for the first race, the spectators
from the stand were enabled to realise a complete
idea of the immense multitude on the course. The
police had much difficulty in driving the crowds off
the running ground, but the people behaved with
great good humour, and. seemed determined to let
no ebullition of temper mar their enjoyment of
Yorkshire's great sporting Saturnalia. •
The races which preceded the great event of the
day merely served to stimulate the curiosity of the
spectators for the exciting spectacle which was to
follow. ' The preliminary events, however, aroused
the interest of the genuine racing man, and the
shouting and crowding in the " ring" showed that
speculation was being pursued with great industry.
Eleven starters were announced for the St. Leger,
out of the 19 " coloured" on the card, the most im-
portant absentee being Marionette, who was struck
out at 10 o'clock this (Tuesday) morning. The
ardour of Promised Land's partisans either cooled
at the last, or the public had gained confidence in
" the fief," and had evidently little faith in " fore-
gone conclusions." From 75 to 40, which wore
laid on the horse over night, he declined to 5 to 4.
Summerside, the Oaks victrix, who was deemed his
most dangerous opponent, had not a strong number
of adherents among the public, but was supported
steadily by her party. From our description of the
race it will be seen that Promised Land made all
his own running, certainly a bold proceeding, and
one which indicated the great confidence which his
owner placed in his chance. The excitement with
which the race was regarded first found vent when,
after entering the straight, it was evident that
Summerside was beaten, and a thousand voices
proclaimed the fact. When, at the distance,
Promised Land was seen in trouble, the sensation
was immense, and was expressed by one prolonged
shout, the purport of which was understood and
echoed by people at too great a distance to witness
the favourite's disgrace. The result of the race
was unexepected even amoila the Yorkshiremen,
who ever adhere to the WlialFwall stable. Indeed,
the trainer of Gamester merely expressed his belief
in the health and fitness of the horse, and of that
there could be no doubt ; but he was not sanguine
enough to believe his horse capable of overthrow-
ing Promised Land. The winner 'ran with a
" stocking" on the off fore leg, and had a large
white patch on his back to cover a place which he
had rubbed while travelling by rail. He was the
first to return to " weigh in," and both the horse and
jockey were cheered with real Yorkshire enthusiasm
and when John Scott made his appearance the
famous trainer came in for a tremendolis ova-
tion. Promised Land and his rider were, how-
ever, unjustifiably saluted with disapprobation.
Gamester was, we believe, bred by the veteran
Sir Charles Monck, at his seat, Belsay Castle,
near Newcastle, and is a remarkably handsome
brown colt, standing about 15 1. To gentlemen
sportsmen the defeat of the favourite has been
a marked discouragement. By that portion of the
visitors who regarded the St. Leger as affording an
opportunity for feasting and revelling, and for the
enjoyment of a very pretty sight, their " day out"
evidently gave abundant satisfaction. Their com-
fort was promoted assiduously by all persons em-
ployed in the public service. Business was carried
out on the course with that regularity for which
the well-experienced staff of officials has earned a
deserved reputation. Mr. Richard Johnson was, as
usual, careful and courteous in the discharge of his
duties as clerk of the course, and Mr. Manning, the
clerk of the scales, exerted himself with his cus-
tomary energy and success to preserve punctuality,
while the starter, Mr. E. Hibbard, and the judge,
Mr. Clark, attended to the important business con-
nected with their respective posts with their habi-
tual care and discretion. The management of the
immense traffic of the railway was admirable in
every department. The arrangements at the Don-
A caster station were most adequate for the occasion,
7, and they were carried out by the company's ger-
\
4 vants with praiseworthy order and discipline. By
\, the formation of a new platform the egress from the
1 station was made without confusion. The cheap
2
1 " special" from London brought 533 persons, and
1 by the first-class " special" 80 were conveyed to
the town. These numbers were below those of last
:: year, but the shortcoming may be accounted for by
• • the fact that more persons arrived on Monday than
..
.. on any previous anniversary of the meeting; in-
-5 deed, on that day the trains had to be separated,
a and run in " duplicates." To Mr. Walter Leigh,
.. the superintendent, the public are indebted for the
care which was taken to meet their requirements.
•• The station inspectors, Messrs. Brown, Mul-
:: lino, and Pigott were unremitting in
their efforts, while the prompt vigilance and
- great activity displayed by Inspectors Williams
3 and Berwick, of the Midland Counties Police,
5 tended to promote the security of the passengers
ani to prevent disorder.

sto 1 agst Duneany, 6 to 1 agst Maid of the Mist, 7 to 1
agst Queen Charlotte.
Syringe broke away before starting, and ran past the
stand. After going about 200 yards, Queen Charlotte took
the load, and carried on the running until just before reach-
ing the turn, when something came into collision with her,
and thrust her on to the rails. After landing in the straight
Rover came out and won by three-quarters of a length ; bad
third ; a head between the third and fourth; Coxwold was

fifth, Duneany sixth, Bel Esperanza seventh, and Syringe
eighth.
After the accident to Queen Charlotte, Edwards was com-

Summerside, 12 to 1 agst Defender, 15 to 1 agst Gladiolus,
15 to 1 agst Napoleon, 20 to 1 agst Gamester.
The horses were drawn up at the post soon after the ap-
pointed time, and they were despatched on the first attempt.
Defender and Gamester were quickly on their legs, but they
had scarcely got into their stride when Promised Land
rushed to the front and took a lead •f three or four lengths,
Gladiolus, Gamester, and Aston being his immediate at-
tendants. Midway up the hill Aston ran into the second
place, Summerside going on third, and Gladiolus fourth ;
Uralian dropped hopelessly into the rear, and was never
afterwards seen in the race. On went Promised Land with
a clear lead, Aston and Summerside being second and third,
Comforter, Gladiolus, Defender, and Gamester next. At
the Red House the lot began to take a little closer order,
Aston giving way to Summerside, and with Comforter join-
ing the beaten ones. Gladiolus held the third place until
after crossing the road, when he gave way, and Defender,
next :thol rails, took his place ; Gamester, on the upper
ground now showing very formidably in their wake.' 'Mid-
way between the road and the distance Summerside was
beaten, and at the distance Alfred Day "rode" Promised
Land, and a tremendous shout was raised of " The favourite's
beaten," and such was the fact, for Gamester came out,
followed by Defender, but the race was now virtually over,
and Gamester ran home an easy winner by half a length ;
Magnum, who caught Summerside at the stand, was beaten
two lengths from the second, and finished a head in advance
of the mare. About a length from them came Promised
Land fifth, and a similar distance separated Na poleon from
him. The others came in at such wide intervals that the
judge was enabled to place the lot. Uralian walked in long
after the horses had passed the post.

The Portland Plate of 200 sors in specie, added to a Handi-
cap Stakes of 5 sovs each. Winners extra. The second
to receive 25 sovs out of the stakes. Red House in. 68

up the running, Wild Rose being second. At the Red
House Wild Rose again took command, and eventually
won in a canter by eight lengths. Coroner and Liveryman
did not pass the post.
