SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
DONCASTER RACES, 1845.
Since the last Doncaster meeting, the corporation Of
that town have requested the members of the Racing
Club to reconsider their resolution of the 18th of SePi
tember, with respect to the days of running, and to adeFA
the alteration first proposed, viz., that the races show,.."
commence on Tuesday, and finish on Friday. There 17
been no opportunity of taking the opinion of the Clue
te
collectively, but several members have ap7;iroved of tu
proposal, and as the extension of the nr,eting to Sal;
day was determined on in deference to the wishes of the
corporation, who were at the time unwilling to bad
the meeting curtailed to four days, it is presumed
the plan now proposed will be generally acceptable, and
the stakes FITO therefore advertised, with the sanction
the stewards, for a meeting of four days.
THE ASCOT CUPS.
His Imperial Majesty the Emperor of Russia be°
expressed a desire that the piece of plate given by lionfoc
be run for at Ascot should be a weight for age 1.8°,40
the best horses, it has been determined that this
shall take the place of the Old Ascot Cup, which W
it
be discontinued, and the money hitherto added fetter
from the fund will be appropriated to other races. Amtbe
Majesty's Vase will be run for on the first day. Ira ono
Emperor of Russia's Cup on the third. The cep
cf the above prizes, with particulars of the other
.01.
closed stakes at Ascot, will appear at length in due ti,.;
A case was submitted to the stewariks of the J of
Club at the last Houghton meeting, bvi the purchaser .;
the colt, now called Perkin War'oeck, which re°4
Ascot under the name of Bloodstone, involving the wo
lowing questions:-Ist. Whether the forfeits due eqi
the entries of Mr. Newman's ch c Bloodstone,
Bubastes, out of Romaike, attach to the said refulie
Warbeck, so as to disqualify him from starting
they remain unpaid. 2d. Whether it will not be Crnoe
;
petent to run him in 1845, as being then a rnsiden„;;,—
years old, believed to be by Beiram, out of Boma
To the first question the answer was—that as it
.o,l°
proved that there was a colt by Bubastes out of P7O
maike, of the right age, for which the other horse nj
substituted, the forfeits are due for the Bubastes Pejo
do not attach to the horse which ran at Ascot by
name of Bloodstone. To the second question, the °not
answer the Stewards gave was, that the race at Asoj.
did not disqualify the horse which ran there as /31°
stone for running as a maiden horse.
