DONCASTER RACES—Thu.llspar, Scrr. 18.—(f.srr 'Ds v).
After all, it seems that 'linker did not start for fhe real race, sad,
consequently, did not start for the Leger, upon which thine are
many quibbles. Tinker is acknowledged worthless; and next maws
the interest upon Sherwood, about which the odds was four and
half to one at the start. Ile skewed himself up to that which was
expected, and his backers say, instead of being SeCO4PII, he would
have beat Barefoot but for jocktyship. lie made the play, and was
pushed beyond hinvelf, and was unable to finish well. Of ten horses
none ran with him for the Gasmigne Stake ; and :lir. Udney bought
Comte d'Arteis, third in the Leger, to run Sherwood, on Thurs-
day, in a Sweepstakes. Sherwood won it in a severe race, with
Frank Buckle upon the Comte d' Artois. Tancred, to use a sports
big phrase, is "nowhere," in the fake race or the real race, and after
basing been a good second in the Derby, at Epsom, and having
done no work since, it lessens Enaus, the winner f the Derby,
and proves the Newmarket horses of the year very inferior to those
of the North. After winning the cup on Wednesday, Lord Dar-
lington bought Figaro, the bait horse of his years, for £2OOO. This
horse was second for the Derby, 132.2, and is a Haphazard colt.—
Barefoot is sold also fur .4.'1:000.

The Duchess of Kent and the Princes Leopold and Lichtenstein
were on the Course and witnessed the two tirst heats. The sports
were good, particularly the contest for the Powell Stakes. For-
tune-teller and Minister were the favourites at starting, but Parch-
ment deceived the knowing ones, whose plaszes had somewhat in-
creased in length with the termination of the heat. The Royal
Hotel dinner mustered upwards of eighty persons, and everything
went off in style.

SHOOTING EXTRAORDINARY.
An instance of skill in shooting equal to the following match has
rarely been recorded : it took place tut Thursday, in Ilford Alea-
dow, between a Mr. Tyre and Mr. Adam Arrowsmitb, the cele-
brated pigeon shot, at twenty-one sparrows eacb, fifteen yards from
the, trap. It was merely an honorary match, rather than the
amount of the stake, and Air. Tyre's party fancied they had the
ben of it, and backed that Gentleman freely. It however came of
otherwise. Mr. Arrowsmith killed the whole of his ewes* yore
,parrot., and his opponent killed eighteen.—At a festive board,
after the match, a Gentleman challenged any shot in England to
meet the winner at twenty-one sparrows, the like' number of 'i-
v:ems, or a day at laid sports.
ROWING MATCH.
A rowing match by small fowling•boats took place on Wednesday
se'mught, at Wilcove, fur a silver subscription cup. Several boats
were ~s-Finbled,but only three started, and after proceeding Wee as
far as Salrash and returning round. the Windsor Castle, the • prise
was won by Mr. Waterman's catamaran, of Andertun, 1p a very
-surly style. ---.-----

Sir llumpitay DAVY has, within the last month.. ds.
covered that the application of a certain gas, fifteen
times heavier than the atmosphere, to the mechanism of
a steam-engine, will produce a power fullj'etiiiar to
that which fluty reults from the application oksteam.
The great obstacle whichstandi.in the way of a general
and immediate introduction into use of this gauss tl e
difficulty of confining. it. The task of constructing co•
venient vessels, sufficiently strong for that purpose. Sir
HUMPHRT proposes as a problem, the solution of which
must be attended with inettirnable benefit tothis country.
AMAZING INensAss.—Three acres of fine wheat will
be reaped in a few days, by Mr. JOHN PAD/N,N, of Ply-
mouth, the accumulated produce of a single chance
grain, which grew in his garden about five ]es since.
