DONCASTER RACES, CONCLUDED.
Doncaster, Friday Night.
The unexpected defeat of the winner of the St. Leger im-
parted a degree of interest and excitement to the racing of
Friday which has seldom been known to exist on the last day
of this or any other meeting ; the sensation, indeed, was very
great, and the race will long be remembered as one of the
most curious instances of the glorips uncertainty of the Turf.
The course was thinly attended, and the sport, with the ex-
ception hinted at, only tolerable. The following are particu-
lars :

The Scarborough Stakes of 30 sovs. each, 10 ft., for threz.
yrs old; colts, Ist. 61b. ; fillies, Bst. 31b. The winner of
the St. Leger to carry 71b. extra. One mile. Twenty
Subscribers.
Captain Taylor's Ainderby W. Scott 1
Mr. Mostyn's Queen of Trumps (7111. extra) 2
Mr. Marson's The General 3
Betting 8 to 1 on the Queen of Trumps offered freely.
The Gencral-teok.the lead at a good pace, followed by Ain-
derby, the mare, who had an indifferent start, lying about two
lengths behind him. In this order they ran` till about half way
between the gravel road and the distance, where they closed,
and travelled in company half way up the distance ; here The
General was beaten, and the others left together, the mare,
perhaps, a trifle in advance. At this moment a dog rushed
from the upper side of the course almost under the legs of the
mare, who had the whip hand. • She flinched and changed her
leg, but that she lost any ground by it we will not take upon
ourselves to assert. It must suffice that the rest of the ground
was contested with extraordinary severity, and that the horse
won by half a head. It should be added that the mare had not
taken a gallop since the St. Leger, went short and stiff, carried
71b. extra, and evidently did not like the whip. his very
doubtful whether she will stand training another year.
The Horuby Castle Stakes (first year) of 25 sovs. each ; for
three yrs old, 7st. ; four, Bst. Ilb. ; five, Bst. 101 b. ; six and
aged, 9st. ; three and four yrs old fillies allowed 31b. ; the

Betting-Even on Muley Moloch, 5 to 4 agst Glaucus, and
6 to 1 agst Zohrab, who made the running to the Red House,
where -the others went up to him, and they ran alongside each
other till about 300 yards from home, where Zohrab declined ;
the race between the other two lasted only to the stand, where
Glaucus shot ahead, and won easy by two or three lengths.

Sir Robert Peel entertained a large party of friends
last week at his seas at Drayton, Staffordshire, who were
invited to partake of the amusement of shooting, his
grounds abounding in game. Among the company were

rell, Messrs. Goulbarn, Bonham, Knight, William Peel,
&c., &c. The Right Hon. Baronet wilt entertain a suc-

Baron Rothschild was the great bidder against Mr.

corner. Twenty-one thousand one hundred pounds was

cided the bargain.

Lord Lowther, accompanied by his friend Mr. Wil-
liam Holmes, has left town for the Continent, and purposes
visiting the Marquis of Hertford. His Lordship is not
expected to return before November.

On Sunday evening, as the Marquis of Worcester,
the Hon. Mr. Dutton, C. Wm. Codrington, Esq., M.P.,
and George Worral, Esq., were crossing the ferry at Rown-
ham, on leaving the boat, the horses became restive, through
which Captain Coddrington was thrown into the water, and
was lost sight of for a few seconds. On rising, the Gal-
lant Captain did not appear disconcerted, but again mounted
his horse, and we are glad to learn received no injury.
THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON.—The Duke of
Wellington has been visiting Lord Normanton at his seat
near Lymington. On Wednesday the yeomanry cavalry
of the district had a grand field-day at Stoney Cross, in
