THE DOINGS AT DONCASTER,.

Before I direct a'Aention to the Doncaster pro'
gramme, I have a long score of gossip to settle. The
little, fracas at Warwick has excited considerable
amusement, and people applaud the captain for the
summary manner in which he silenced a talkative
old man. But after all, the remarks which were
dropped might have been treated with contempt'
and a kick would have best suited an ass, who i 4
perhaps the veritable "Vicar" of Bray.
The Sporting Review has not scrupled to publish
a certain transaction between two jockeys ; and I,
therefore, have no hesitation in referring to it.
money matter will have to be settled before
recent lucky jockey will be allowed to go to seal°
at Doncaster—a jockey who has had more than hie
share of fortune this year. The case was well ill'
vestigated before the Stewards at Goodwood, wil°
expressed their opinion in no measured terms. Tliel
matter will, I trust, be amicably arranged, and
that good understanding, which ought and dnes
exist amongst jockeys, will be undisturbed.
It was unfortunate for Little Daley that tli°,
" rapid act of horsemanship " which he perforate'
at Beccles, was not witnessed by a more distali
guished audience. His courage and presence
mind, however, will doubtless be well bruited:

and to perform the following feat seldom falls to the
lot of children of a larger growth :—.Little P3l°./
was riding Pomona. In the second heat, just,

he reached the distance, and was about to call uP°',
his mare, his saddle slipped from under him, turned
round, and hung under the mare's belly. With
t`
wonderful presence of mind little Daley disengageae
his feet from the stirrup irons, and clutching t:11
heavy saddle cloth to prevent it from falling, r° $
the mare home and landed her the winner byes
length. Of course he bad little or no control oe''
her, and on attempting to stop her tithe
passing the post, she bolted with him, leaped
rails, and then the lad fell off. He, howen
quickly scrambled up again, and went to scale 0,0

on Wednesday at Derby, and on Thursday at Nirelr
