DONCASTER, FRIDAY ATTEROON.

The early hour at which the races commenced ena-
bles us, by means of an express to the Swinton
station, to give the result of the principal races to-
day, the 1001. Plate being the only one undecided
when our parcel was closed. The weather was
showery, and the attendance thin, but not more so
than usual on the last day at these meetings. It will
be seen that, after all, the great match between Cor-
ranna and Foig-a-ballagh came off, and that it proved
a decisive triumph for the young one.

ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS.
DONCASTER, THURSDAY EVENING.
' The appearance of Alice Hawthorn's name amongst
the entries for the Cup, and the certainty that, if it
produced a race at all, it would be for the bonus
added by the Corporation for the second horse, entirely
divested what has hitherto been one of the most ex-
citing races of the meeting, of all public interest, and
put speculation out of the question. The list, apart
from the Cup, was not by any means imposing. The
Innkeepers' Plate, which, by the way, was one of the
closest races we ever saw, had considerably less
than the average number of subscribers. The Three-
year-old Stakes only brought out a couple of starters,
and was a very hollow thing. The .12wo-year-old
Stakes was equally so, from the badness of the starting;
and the Cup was, what every Cup, Plate, or Stake,
must be that Alice Hawthorn has any part in, little
better than a walk over. It did not surprise us,
therefore, that with such feeble attractions, the at-
tendance was vastly inferior to the generality of Cup
days at Doncaster. The weather was bright and
warm, and the muster of fashionables, although
small, sufficient to enable us to present a tolerable
list of names. Before doing so, however, we have
again to refer to the Corranna and Foig-a-ballagh
dispute. Our last parcel was made up to twelve
o'clock on 'Wednesday night, it being then generally
understood that a compromise had been agreed
on ; the subject, however, was discussed afresh after
our report was sent off, and a determination come
to, in order to prevent further ,dispute, to run the
match on the day, and upon the terms ori-
ginally proposed. It will therefore come off
to-morrow over the St. Leger course, Corranna
carrying 9st, and Foig-a-ballagh, 7st. 7to 4
has been laid on the young 'un. The match be-
tween Corranna and William le Gros, in consequence
of this arrangement, will not be run. We will now
give our promised list of the company :—Marquis of
Normanby, Earl and Countess of Chesterfield, Earl
and Countess of Eglinton, Earl of Glasgow, Earl of

The racing commenced at three o'clock, the handi-
cap being the first event.
For the Innkeepers' Plate, Corodino, Knight of the
Whistle, and the Cob got well off, and ran abreast
at a strong pace to the distance, where Corodino re-
tired; the Cob then went on with the running, but
was caught at the Stand, and after one of the most
splendid races ever beheld, won on the post by a head.
Juvenal and Phillip lost start, and never got within
two or three lengths of the first two.
For the Sweepstakes of 200 sous. each, Joe Lovell,
who made running from the hill, won in a canter.
The Two-yrs-old Stakes was one out of many races
that have occurred in the course of the present meet-
ing, to prove either that there is something very de-
fective in the mode of starting at Doncaster, or that
the person appointed to perform that duty is incom-
petent. In the first race this afternoon two horses
were deprived of all chance by the dropping of the
flag when their heads were turned in a contrary di-
rection to the post ; and in this it lowered at the mo-
ment the first favourite, Midlothian, jumped short
round, not when the horses where at the post, but
when they were some yards below it ; it was not
raised again until the flag in advance was also down,
and the race,with seven out of the ten, had commenced;
the consequence was, that the riders of the Lillah colt
and Titania hesitated and lost several lengths, and
that Midlothian was left at the post. A few words
will describe the race. Longitude got well off, made
nearly all the running, was never caught, and won in
a canter by two lengths ; the St. Martin colt was a
bad third, Bretwalda fourth, and Sir R. Bulkeley's
fifth ; Punjaub and Firemaster beaten off.
For the Cup, Alice Hawthorn made her own run-
ning, was never approached, and won in the com-
monest of canters. Pride of Kildare was beaten off
before she had gone half the distance.

degree that the sewerage of the upper portions might
find an outlet. As a Commissioner of Holborn and
Finsbury, he would not vote, but having never spoken
upon that subject in the other Court, he thought
he had a right to state his opinion in that place.
Mr. LESLIE agreed with the observations made by
the Hon. Commissioner, Colonel Gaunt, as to the re-
quirements of the Act of Henry VIII. in reference
to the ground drainage; but supposing that the area
of Bloomsbury-square was one large cesspool—
(A laugh)—Hon. Commissioners might laugh, but
the period was not so very far removed when such a
thing was actually proposed, though in a different
locality—(Hear, hear)—supposing, then, such a
case, would they call that land drainage ? (The
Hon. Commissioner then read the Act of Parliament
constituting the Holborn and Finsbury Commission,
in which it was conceded that the yearly demand of
the City of London Court was a fair, just, and proper
one.) Did that Court, then, wish anything less
reasonable ? No. They required, according to their
surveyor's statement, to go to a certain depth for
their own purposes, and every inch beyond that was
for the purposes of the Holborn and Finsbury dis-
trict. He was inclined to give every facility to the
drainage of Gower-street and its neighbourhood.
He had gone through that district very lately, and
he had observed the vast increase of building there.
Now let them imagine the mass of water poured
through those (the Westminster) sewers from that
closely inhabited district. Were there no expenses
attendant on that—no wear and tear, exclusive of
what their own immediate district would occasion ?
He thought, therefore, that the Holborn and Fins-
bury district was fully entitled to pay the extra
digging, and the 971. required for the gully drains
necessary on that account, and he would propose,
therefore, that the legal opinion read that day should
be sent to that Commission, with the determination
to which they themselves had come, and that one fort-
night should be allowed them to make up their minds
finally.—(Hear, hear.)
Mr. BALDWIN thought that if they executed this
work for the benefit of another Commission, that
Commission might make a similar demand at a future
period. He was, therefore, opposed to affording such
a bad precedent. _ _

The CHAIRMAN said, that while they attended to
the interest of the rate-payers in that district, it
might be well also to consider—he gave it as his
opinion merely—that their surveyors should have
taken a more enlarged view of the depth required in
the main line. He was of opinion that the collateral
sewers ought to have a greater depth of fall than they
had at present. He thought, therefore, that the eight
feet of digging should at least be borne by them, as
it was really required, but that the additional depth
of five feet should be charged to the Holborn and
Finsbury division. The 971. for gully-drains might
be afterwards considered.

Mr. LESLIE said they had taken the opinion of
the proper officers upon the subject, and he was
bound to suppose that they had duly considered the
fall required for the collateral sewers. They had
also the opinion of their solicitor, Mr. Smith, and he
thought the Court ought not to take the respon-
sibility upon itself of departing from the opinions ex-
pressed by those gentlemen.
The CHAIRMAN, without infringing upon the rights
of the officers of that Court, thought he also was jus-
tified in advancing his opinion, and he knew of no
rule which rendered it paramount that that Commis-
sion should abide by any expressed opinions of the
surveyors.
After some few observations from Mr. WIL-
LOUGHBY and Mr. W. L. DONALDSON, a resolution,
in accordance with the suggestions of Mr. Leslie, was
moved by Mr. HawKEs, seconded by Mr. WIL-
LOUGHBY, and carried unanimously.
The CHAIRMAN suggested that the list of quan-
tities for the guidance of the persons contracting for
the coming year might, where an odd figure existed,
be changed into even numbers, thereby saving to the
servants of the Court a very great degree of labour.
Mr. LESLIE had understood that the quantities
were not to be inserted in the forms, but left in the
office merely as a reference to those who might
wish to contract.

The CLERK stated that the last Court had decided
otherwise.

➢ir. LESLIE complained that he had been taken by
surprise. He had distinctly understood that the
tenders were only to be for so much per foot, or
yard, as it might be. The enormous jobbing he had
exposed on the last contract was only effected by
tendering for quantities.
The CHAIRMAN said the Court had settled the
question last Court-day, and the matter was now
set at rest.

Mr. LESLIE would enter his earnest protest against
the proceeding, as he should most certainly have
done had he been aware of the decision to which the
Court had come. He was still, however, of opinion,
that a mistake had been made in this particular.
After a very warm discussion, the quantities for
the year ending Midsummer, 1844, were ordered to
be sent out without any alterations being made in
them.

Some unimportant business was then gone through,
and the Court adjourned.
