DONCASTER RAGES.—SavonDay, Sem.. 23.
TUX GREAT XT. ',MUER.
The settling has gone off very amicably for so large a race.
The gill/it:est winners are said to be Mr. Jamei Bland, 30,000/. ;
Mr. Itidstlale, 5,000/. ; Mr. Holyoake, 5,0004 ; Captain
.6,0007. ; and Mr. Cauty, 8,0001. One of the great betting
men loses a large stake, Tarrare being the worst horse in the Esc*
for him. There is only one levanter of any consequence, a Mr.
Moses Ass (as be had been named here, any one connected with
the turf will recognize the individual), for 15,000/. lie is a re-
tail dealer in screws, spice, and cracks. On the morning after
the race his landlady found the following precious specimen of
cant on his toilet
"My dear Madam,.--I am sorry to say, that lam obliged to
leave Doncaster in so very dishonourable a manner; but I have
lost that sum which obliges cue to du so, and cannot meet the
people with a good face. For heaven's sake do let me impress
this on your mind, that is, pray keep your son from attending
races, and betting, and all those evil ways; for it' he does not,
it will ultimately lead to ruin, and an untimely sled. Enclosed is
sufficient to pay my expenses. Send snyAtrunk and books as
early as possible. God Almighty hitwe you, and believe me, ever,
very faithfully yours, , " MOSES ASS."
This is not the first time that Mr. Moses Ass has been placed
in the same predicament, and we can only sa,y,, that those who
are *offerers by him deserve it ; they should have learned caution
from experience.' A sporting character offered 20/. even, that
the above-mentioned individual will be found in a tub spouting at
Blackwell, ott Sunday, at three precisely. We shall drop this
subject as unworthy, merely observing in conclusion, thatis much
more appropriate epithet could be substituted for Ass.
The winner of the St. Leger was so lame yesiterday, that he
could not turn in the stall, and it is supposes!. he never will be
able to run again ; this was just the case with Jerry after he
won in 1824.
Mr. Watt felt great disappointment at Belzoni's bad running ;
he might have sold him fo'r 5,000 guineas previous to the race,
after which he was Sold to Mr. Dilly for 600 guineas. He also
sold brother to Barefoot to the Marquis of Aylesbury for 300
guineas.
The running tosday has produced most extraordinary sport.—
such, indeed(, as we have seldom witnessed. It was as follows:--
