DONCASTER. Tuesday Night.—At an early bout this
morning the town displayed much of the excite.:4•l4 usual
on the St. Leger day ; carriages came rattling in lion every
quarter, and the different roads were alive with the immense
numbers on the journey to the scene of action ; a stranger
would not have thought it possible that there coon ha re
been any falling off in the meeting. On the course. too,
the scene was brilliant—the grand stand was surrounded
front the basement to the roof, the display of beauty and
fashion in the balcony being scarcely inferior to former days;
the other stands were also full, and the course itself lined by
many thousand spectators. Comparatively, however, the
attendance was very small—we should say that not above
two thirds of the number of petsona were present who wit-
nessed the St. Leger last year.
After the jockeys had received the usual instructions from
Mr. Lockwood, sen. Sir David Bair addressed a few words
to them on the propriety of evoking fats., starts, assuring
them, that if any thing unfair was provsd of a jockey, he
would not be permitted to ride any more at Doncaster. The
hones were then paraded before the Grand Stand, and after
a very trifli'g delay, taken to the starting-post. At this time
odds, after undergoing several fluctuations, averaged as fol-
low s-3 to 1 agst The Saddler, 7 to 2 apt Marcus, 9 to 1
agst Liverpool, 12 to I agst Delight (taken), 14 to I apt
Tarrare (taken), 13 to 1 apt Circassian, 16 to I apt our
John, 18 to I apt Colwiek (taken), 25 to 1 agst Creole,
to I agst Brother to Homer, 23 w 1 agst Lady klizabeth
(taken), a.ll 40 to 1 apt Achilles.
The start was admirably managed by Mr. Lockwood,
jun. who has stared the horses for the St. Leger four sue-
cenive years without a single false go. They went off' at
the first attempt. Brother to Tarrare had an excellent
start, and made first running. followed by Chancellor, Te-
toium, and Mal•gardee; The Saddler, Liverpool, Lady
Elizabeth well up to them, and Chorister about the centre,
with Itubini, Circassian and Sadler's two. Chifney on
Marcus went off last, and, strange to say, was little better
than last at any period of the race. Tarrare did not
continue the Lead further than half way to the hill
—be then fell back into the crowd, and was heard
of no more. Chancellor carried im the running,
the other horses preserving their places as stated
above • nor did any movement of importance take
=in] they got to the Red House, where symptoms of
manifested themselves. Alarcus was the lint to
ay out, and, in point of fact, he was now dead beat; Cot_
wick, who had sickened at the bill, followed Marcus; and in a
kyr strides more we perceived Creole, Circassian, Delight,
Achilles, and Si; John drop astern ; at the rails all those were
we of the race completely, together withioan of Ark, Stream_
Ist, Phantom, and two or three other!, *bon names do not
now strike us. To return to 'hefted Howe Tetotuns was now
ileum crowd,and Chancellor was passed by Malgardee as
they neared rails; The Saddler at the same timo
went up to the mate, whom lie had passed a little below the
distance. Chorister, who had hitherto been waiting with
great patience, now began to draw upon The Saddler, but it
was not till they were opposite the Stand that he Made a
serious effort: he then challenged, and between these two a
beautiful struggle ensued, the last 'ride deciding it in fa-
vour of Chorister by half a head only. Till the Judge's
decision was given, the majority of the lookers.on were of
opinion that the Saddler had just won it.
