SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
DONCASTER RACES —THURSDAY.
Beeswing has been so long associated with the Cup at
Doncaster, that without her the race would lose its
chief attraction. For seven years in succession has she
competed with the best horses of the day. Com-
mencing in 1836, then three yrs old, she ran fourth fer
it, Touchstone first, Carew second, Venison third, Gene-
ral Chasse fifth, and Flying Billy sixth ; in 1837
she won it, beating Cardinal Puff, Abraham New-
land, Egeria, and Dan Dawson ; in 1838 she
ran second to Don John ; in 1839 she was
third, Charles the Twelfth being the winner, and Laner-
cost second; in 1840 she again won it, beating The
Provost, Charles the Twelfth, Maroon, Sampson, and
Vermillion ; in 1841 she also won it, having only
the Shadow to beat. From this enumeration it will be
seen that she has won it three times, and that in the
other three she was defeated by first-rate .horses, all St.
Leger winners. The result of her seventh appearance
for it will be found below. The race, it is almost un-
necessary to add, excited very considerable interest, and
the St. Leger settling having terminated comfortably,
the books were opened on Wednesday, and business to a
large amount transacted. A report having got into cir-
culation that the mare was lame, the odds changed from
6 to 4 on her to 5 td4 on the field ; the offers agst Charles
the Twelfth falling from 4 to 1 to 5 to 2. These were the
opening prices on Wednesday after dinner, when, judging
from the betting, the lameness, if ever it existed, must
have disappeared ; for, in the course of an hour, a large
outlay caused the odds to rise to 7 to 4 on Charles the
Twelfth, going back to 4 and 5 to 1 ; half an hour after,
the anti-favourite party came out in strength, and the
betting closed at evens on the mare, 9 to 4 on the horse,
5 to 1 against all the three years old, and 7 to 1 against
the Shadow, who was backed for 2001. at 6 and 8 to 1 ;
Attila was mentioned, but had no separate price. These
fluctuations imparted greater interest to the race, and as it
was preceded by a two years old race, that brought out the
first favourite for the Derby, and several others engaged in
it or in the Oaks or St. Leger ; the company, which was
much larger than on the St. Leger day, seemed to care
little about the deficiency of the list in other respects.
We subjoin the usual details of the sport :
The Three yrs old Stakes of 20 sovs. each, h ft; colts,
Bst 71b ; fillies, Bst 21b. Leger Course. (11 subs,)
Lord Chesterfield's The Artful Dodger ... Walked over.
The Two Years' Old Stakes of 20 sovs. each, h ft ; colts
Bst 71b, and fillies Bst 41b ; the second saved his stake.
T.Y.C. (36 Subs.)
Mr. Blakelock's A British Yeoman, by Liverpool 1
Lord Westminster's Maria Day, by Physician 2
Mr. G. Clark's Era, by Plenipu 3
The following also started, but were not placed :
Mr. R. G. Walker's Merry Andrew, by Sheet Anchor ;
Mr. Mostyn's c by Velocipede, out of Birdlime ; Lord
Maidstone's The Caster, by Emilius ; Mr. Bristow's
Pharaoh, by the Mummy ; Mr. Ramsey's Lady Skipsey.
by Inheritor ; Mr. Cooke's Trueby, by Tomboy ; Col.
Crawford's c, by Bay Middleton, out of Mermaid ; and
Mr. White's Judex, by Jereed.
Betting—Even and 6 to 5 on A British Yeoman, 6 to
1 each agst The Caster, Colonel Crawford's colt and
Pharoah ; and 10 to 1 each agst Judex, the Era, and
Trueboy ; and 20 to 1 agst Maria Day.
The front rank at starting consisted of Maria Day,
with a slight lead, Pharaoh second, Colonel Crawford's
colt third, well up, and A British Yeoman fourth ; this
order continued at a tremendous pace to the Red House,
where A British Yeoman went past Colonel Crawford's
colt ; in the bend he headed Pharaoh, and at the dis-
tance was alongside the filly, every other horse in the
race being completely beaten. The two then singled
themselves out, and ran one of the longest and truest
races ever seen, the horse winning in the last stride by a
head ; Era was a very bad third, but was clear out of
the ruck.
The Cup of 300 sovs. with 50 added for the second ;
three yrs old, ist ; four yrs, Bst 51b ; five yrs, Bst 121 b,
six yrs and aged, 9st 21b; mares and geldings allowed
31bs. About two miles and five furlongs.
Mr. Orde's Beeswing by Doctor Syntax (Cartwright) 1

Col. Anson's Attila, 3 yrs
Betting-7 to 4on Beeswing, 3to 1. agst Charles the
Twelfth, 7 to 1 agst Attila, and 12 t6l agst Shadow.
The race may be described in two lines. Beeswing
took the lead at starting, was never approached within
two lengths, and won in the very commonest of canters.
The Slit dow was second to the stand, where Charles the
Twelfth passed her; Attila was several lengths 'in the
rear, fr' m the start to the finish.
The Gascoigne Stakes of 100 sovs each, 30 ft ; for 3 yr-
old colts, Bst 71b ; and fillies, Bst 21b. St. Leger
course. (4 Subs.)
Col. Anson's Attila, by Colwick, walked over.
IMPROVEMENT OF THE RACES.
The Committee of the Town Council, consisting of
Thomas Johnson, the Mayor, Sir Isaac Morley, and
Councillors Moray and Webb, with Mr. Mason, the
Town Clerk, had an interview in the morning with the
no'ilemen and gentlemen of the Doncaster Racing Club,
consisting of Lord Chesterfield (in the Chair), the Mar-
quis of Normanby, Lord Kelburne, Colonel Peel, Col.
Cradotk, Sir W. B. Cooke, &c. On the Committee
icing introduced, Lord Chesterfield rose and expressed
the thanks of himself and noblemen, and others, sup-
porters of the Doncaster races, for the liberal subscrip-
tion or 1,000!., guaranteed by the Corporation for 1843 ;
and on behalf of himself and friends, expressed their de-
termination to do everything iu their power to render
the races as effectivc and attractive as possible. The

noblemen present would take into consideration the
means of providing for certain incidental expenses at-
tendant on the races, and thus relieve the Corporation
from certain payments; but inasmuch as some of the stakes
were now subscribed to, many of such expenses could not
be provided for altogether prior to the races of 1844.
The suggestions of the 'roan Council were exceedingly
proper for the consideration of the gentlemen of the
Racing Club, who would deliberate on them at a future
meeting of the Club, when more members would be pre-
sent, and would inform the Town-clerk of the result.
The Committee of the Town Council was highly grati-
fied by the polite reception they met with, and the great
attention with which their suggestions were received.
At a subsequent meeting, Messrs. Clarke and Merton
were re-appointed ; and the Earl of Eglinton consented
to act as one of the stewards. We believe it is in con-
templation to run the Yorkshire Handicap. on Wednes-
day instead of Monday.
