SPORTING INTELLIGENCE,

DONCASTER RACES.—FRIDAY.
We wero looking forward to an interesting taco to-day

'or the Doncaster Stakes, in tha meeting of Savernako and

Lord Lyon, but the Leger winner was reserved for the
Cup, and only Rustic and Stratheonan entered the field
with Lord Ailesbury's horse. Of course, it was odds on
Savernako, though many good judges fancied the bib.
penalty ho carried would enable Rustic to "make his num-
ber," as the sailors say ; but Savernako made all the run-
ning, and when Fordliam brought up Rustic and challenged
the favourite, the big chestnut put his ears back and re-
fused in the most unmistakeable manner. The Nursery
had its usual large field, Romney and Feemy being the two
favourites, though Opoponax, on the strength of a trial
with Misfortune this morning, when the latter was beaten
by six or eight lengths, came to 10 to 1 before the flag
fell. The start was a very straggling one, eight or nine
getting well off in front, and the others being out of it
from the first. The issue was a close race between Opopo-
nax and the Amanda colt, the former winning by a head.
The Cup was a groat surprise, Lord Lyon being beaten
easily by Rama, whom Lord Westmorland did not intrust

with much money.

Lord Zetland's Quick March
Lord Falmouth's Penelope Plotwell (French) 4

Betting -7 to 4 on Ischia, 7 to 2 agst Quick March, and
6to 1 agst any other. Lass o' Gowrie jumped off with a
clear'lead of Quick March and Ischia to the bond into the
straight, where the latter ran past Quick March and chal-
lenged the leader at the distance, but retiring immediately
afterwards she was defeated in a canter by four lengths ;
a wretched third; Penelope beaten off.

(Snowden) 3
Betting-2 to lon Savernake, 100 to 30 agst Rustic, and
101 to 15 agst Strathconan.
The favourite, in the inside, held a slight lead of Strath-
conan, who was a length in advance of Rustic, the pace
being moderate, but mending as they went over the hill.
Passing the rifle butts Fordham brought his horse for-
ward, and on reaching the Red House got to Strathconan's
quarters, the pair following the favourite to the distance.
Here Rustic headed the gray, and for a brief period ap-
peared to have an equal chance with Savernake; but the
idea was immediately dispelled upon Challonor calling on
his horse, who quitted his opponents and won in a canter
by three lengths, Strathconan being beaten a similar dis-
tance for the second place.

which let up Mr.Godding's colt next the rails. The latter
came on with a clear lead of Feemy, Opoponax, and Admi-
ral to half way in the distance, when the Duke's colt
challenged ; the pair then ran locked together to the end,
Fordham just securing the judge's fiat in the last stride by
a head; three lengths between the second and third. Policy
was fourth, lona fifth, Ravioli sixth, Feemy seventh ; the
others, widely spread, were brought up by Lady Rosehill,
Nine Elms, the Annie Laurie colt, Jolie, and Tumbler
Glenelg being the absolute last, beaten off.
