A. RACING SQUABBLE.

On SaturJay a case came before the Doncaster
magistrates, which excited much interest, in which
a person named Spraig was summoned for being
engaged in a serious disturbance that occurred in
the inclosure at Doncaster on Friday, immediately
after Blink Bonny had won the Park-hill Stakes.
Mr. Superintendent Little, of Newark, stated that
he was in the ring after the race for the Park-hill
Stakes had been won, and dissatisfaction was ex-
pressed at the running of the winner, who ran the
race in two or three seconds less time than the St.
Leger was run in, though over precisely the same
distance. The owner and jockey were in danger of
being illused, and policemen were called to protect
them. Great uproar and excitement continuing, it
was thought advisable to get away Mr. I'Auson
in a cab, but no sooner had they got that gentle-
man to the end of the inclosure than those in the
ring followed, and then the disturbance was taken
up by the " outsiders." The defendant was stand-
ing on the top of an omnibus, in a conspicuous
place. He shouted, and, holding up his stick, called
out as loud as he possibly could, "Kill him, kill
him ; kill the —. ' Had those at the outside got
hold of Mr. I'Anson he believed they would have
killed him.
Mr. Sheardown, the presiding magistrate, asked
what was the cause of the uproar ?
Mr. Fisher, the clerk, said he happened to be
there, and saw the disturbance. It occurred in this
manner :—The Park-hill Stakes were won by Blink
Bonny on Friday, carrying 101 b. more than she
did in the St. Leger, and running the race in
two seconds less time. The moment the mare came
to the ring there was a disturbance, owing to the
impression that the owner and the jockey "had
fleeced the public." Whether that opinion was
right or wrong was another thing.
Mr. ShearSowir—Then this inference, whether
right or wrong, was the cause of the excitement ?
Mr. Fisher said it was.
The Magistrata then, having ascertained that no
personal violence was used in the ring, and that the
defendant bad done nothing more than shout out,
attri-
buted to him,
dsismiised the summons. Previously, however,
was asked whether he had so conducted him-
