SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

DONCASTER, SUNDAY EVINING.
atwson's horses arrived this afternoon. The string consisted of
Mentor—Annandale—Midlothlon—Glossy—Fair Helen—Malcolm—
Inglewood—c by Velocipede, out of Garland—Godfrey—filly by Sheet
Anchor, out of Lady Fulford—and Trueboy. Lord Eglinton has only
two here—viz., Quebec and Sotades. Mr. Painter's The Pacha, Mr.
Critchley's Cceur de Lion, Mr. Fox's June and Banana, and Mr.
Worthington's Hope have also arrived. Scott's horses do not come
until to-morrow.

The subscription betting-rooms were opened yesterday, and a great
many names are already down, but we have heard nothing done
that will admit of a formal quotation. It is evident, however, that
Weatherbit is " coming ;" he cantered this morning, looked and went
remarkably well, and if 5 to 1 was offered would be backed. Nat
rides him. 7t02 is offered on the field, Bto 1 agst Mentor, and 10
to 1 agst Child Ireland. The Miss Whip colt is lame, and will not
start ; this leaves Holmes free for Miss Sarah. It is doubtful
whether Chertsey or Kedger will start, and Collier is reported to be
lame ; it is probable, therefore, that the field, after all, will not ex-
ceed fifteen or sixteen, if it is so large.
The weather continues remarkably fine, the course Is in good or-
der, and most of the principal lodgings are taken ; the inhabitants, in
fact, anticipate a great meeting.

(Continiod from The Sun of Sept. 11.)

Duc.an-Durras is a chesnut colt, by Irish Birdcatcher, out of
Brandy Bet, the property of Lord Milt Own, of whom may be said
that he has forgotten more than many men of great Turf expo.
rience ever knew, and the manner is which he cleaned the ring
out at Newmarket and Chester, with his celebrated mare Cruia.
keen, will not be forgotten in a hurry. Lord Miltown first treated
us with a view of his horse in the Newmarket Craven Meeting,
when he brought him out for the Column Stakes, in which he
was beaten by Winchilsea. He has not started since, and 21 re.
ported to be greatly improved. Neptune, Stagg, or George
Edwards, 1 presume, will be upon him.

Mr. Ramsay's hr g Midlothian is fancied by many. He is by Bay
Middleton, nut of Myrra, and commenced his racing career by
winning the Tyro Stakes at Newcastle, for two years old. He
then was sent tr' Doncaster, where he ran second to Lancashire
Wildly for the Chaniptiete Stakes. This year the first time we saw
him out war Newcastle, teliere he walked over for a Produce
Stakes, and ran second to Winesour for the Cup. At the Liver-
pool Meeting following he ran second to Lord Eglinton's Vaude-
ville fo't the Croxtrth Stakes. At the same meeting he won the
Stanley Stakes, beating Burlesque, Pluto (a capital two years old),
t Lancashire Witch Bind Hope. - AtNelton he won the Trial Stakes,
beating Juvenal by a length; and then ran second to Sweetmeat
for the St. Helen's Purse, beating Lanceshbe Witch and Pluto.' He
Was next brought'out at York, where, after a severe race with June,
he Won a sweepstakes of 30 cove., and easily disposed of Sir Charles
Idonkis Castairay filly and three others for the County Cup. All
these doilies are certainly calctilated to give his friends, who are
numerous, conddende in Mm; and, although rain afraid he has
been too much kaocked about td be' fresh enough for such a race as
this, still I have no doubt he will titrsiggle on to the end,
and IMAM a most respectable position in the raft To Cartwright
expect will be /Whetted the duty ef "steering" him.
As I see Pam Is put down at a likely starter, I must not atm.
look him, though I think his chance entirely out. Pam first
shone before the public at Doncaster last year, where he beat Lord
Glasgoiias Mier Whip colt by a neck for a match 0.500 set% After
that he never started until the past Epsom meeting, where, in run•
ning for the Derby (in which fide he had many friends) he was li
knocked down and so rendered hors.de.sotiibat. At Goodwood he
ran third, and last to Worthless fer the Racing Stakes.
I now come to the great Chester Cup lion, Fitiallen, of Whom
greet hopes are still entertained. Fitsallen is by The Saddler, out
of Fitaroy's diim. As a two year old he only started once, via.,
Air the Tyro Stakes at Newcastle, where he was second to hlid-
Lothian. He was then kept for the Chester Cup of the
present
year, for which great handicap lie was thought to be mo well in,
that he was backed to win nearly 100,0001. He, however, couldilton
only get the fourth place, Intrepid, St. Lawrence.
finishing in front of him. In the Cheshire Stakes.
hs
friends still stuck to him, he again succum for awndhiCMhbed to Intrepid and

Trueboy. At the Gorhambury meeting, with t. Sib ,he did

held too cheap, and if be is in
in earnest by. his party, my
readers may rest assured ais not without a sufficient rettrelf‘ . His
-owner and trainer will ride, and naturally make the most of hitn.
I now come to the chief representative of the Mitchel-grove
stable, Ould Ireland, who has been backed by his enthusiastic
countrymen to win them as large a stake almost as Foig-a-ballagh
did. Ould Ireland ran only twice in England as a two year old,
and was beaten on each occasion, vie., in' the Mersey Stakes at
Liverpool, by Pantasa, and in the Stanley Stakes by Sweetmeat.
Over the Curragh, however, he was more fortunate, as he won
the Angleseys in a canter, beating Clear-the way and seven others,
and afterwards walked over for the Sligo Produce Stakes. The
same success seems to have attended hint river that course this
year, for he carried off the Queen's Plate with ism 111 h, and 3 to
1 on him, from King Dan and the Bran Filly. This performance
made him a tremendous favourite for the Cheater Cup, in which
race, owing to the manner in which he was ridden, he did not get
a place. lie, however, the following day, managed to beat Semi-
seria by half a heud for the Free Handicap—ten others running
besides. On his return to Ireland the Baron beat hint for the
second class of the Waterford Stakes at the June Curragh meeting;
but he afterwards, with 7st 41h, and even betting on him, won
the Queen's Plate from Highwayman, Crosby Mouche colt, King
Dan, and Kingfisher. He was then put under the care of the
veteran Forth, who will bring him ts? the post, I have no doubt,
in blooMing form. With such a trailer, and such a jockey as
Henry Bell, in spite of his position in the odds, OLIN Ireland's
chance, in my opinion, is not at all to be despised.
As the rapers say Mr. Fergusson's Clear-the.way has been sent

by Harkaway out of Taglioni, by Whisker. He twice ran sect,
to Ould Ireland as a two year old, and the only race he has
boast of winning is the Paget Stakes at the September Curragh
meeting, when he beat Singaway and two other wretches. A
;rester impostor never was stripped on a race-course, and the man
that could back him, after the exhibition he cut at Epsom, ought
to have a commission de lunatic° inquirende taken out against
him. Mr. Merry's Collier finds many friends in the north. He I.
by Sheetanchor out of Florentia, and his chief claim to support
rests upon having, as a two year old, defeated Pythia for the Fable
Stakes at Stirling, and Milder for the King's Park Stakes at the
same place.
