WEDNESDAY.

The number of lines which now communicate with
Doncaster, and th!: extraordinary inducements offered to
ell classes in the shape of cheap special trains, have
driven nearly all the traffic off &le road; hence, instead
of having one's rest disturbed t Inis morning by the con-
stant rattle of wheels from daybr.3ak, the town remained
in a state of comparative repoae until ten o'clock. The
monster trains from Sheffield then began to disgorge
their thousands; these, as the day edvar.ced, were fol-
lowed by others of equal magnitude from Liverpool, and
the great manufacturing districts in Lancashire and
Yorkshire, from Newcastle, lkinburgh, Birmingham,
Derby, Worcester, and the mtitropolis, and up to two
o'clock, tho hour at which the :racing commenced, the
" cry was, still they come." The influx was continuous
and immense, and we venture to say that what Doncaster
has lost in the grade of its supporters was, on this oc-
casion, amply made up in DM birs. The streets, fur
two or three hours, were almost :Impassable, particularly
in the vicinity of the betting-roc ms, to obtain an en-
trance into which was a task of no ordinary difficulty.
There the crowd was quite in keeping with that without,
but business was the Very oppo site of what we have had
so often to record on the morning of the St. Leger day.
With reference to the movements, it is only necessary to
say that 6 to 4 was currently offered on Voltigeur, 4 to
1 and 9 to 2 taken about Pitsford. to a large amount, and
30 to 1, to two or three hun Bred pounds, about the
Italian. There was no disposit ion shown to back The
Beehunter, Bolingbroke, or may of the Irish horses.
Cyprus and blelgrave were sint:tched at a quarter be-
fore nine o'clock in the morning.,
It would he in vain to attempt. ito give an idea of the
concourse on the race-ground. We will simply state
that it was " prodigious," and I;,hat both the stand and
enclosure were so densely crowded as to materially in-
terrupt the transaction of busin est t. We must reserve a
list of the fashiouahles present for a future dispatch.
For the reason given in our last we cannot dwell on
the events of the day, it must suffice that one of the
most exciting struggles ever witnessed on Doncaster
racecourse issued in a dead heat between Voltigeur and
the Irish horse, Russborough; Bolingbroke, whcse
chance, as well as Italian's, was .prejudiced by Russbo-
rough running against him, finish, !d a bad third. The
deciding heat was not run when ,our parcel was sent from
the course.
