DONCASTER RACES.
The reputation which Doncaster has already acquired
throughout the kingdom. and even the civilized world. as a
first-class race meeting-, has been strengthened and confirmed
by the events of the past week. While other towns are
making the most energetic attempts to improve the character
of their race meetings, Doncaster has not been indifferent to
its fame, but has fully kept pace with the advancing spirit of
the times, and maintained the elevated position which has
been unanimously conceded to it. The corporation this year
incr•ased their grant by £2O), in addi ion to the £l,OOO pre-
viously given by them, which enabled the officials to add two
new races to the programme, and have also erected another
stand, and carried out several minor improvements, at a
further cost of £BOO. The meeting was under the steward-
ship of P. 0.: Lumley, Esq., Lord Ribbiesdale, and the Mar-
quis of Exeter.
TUESDAY, SEPT. 13.—The morning broke dismally—all
rain and mist. Far as the eye could reach the clouds pre-
sented a dull leaden hue, whilst the rain came down in a
steady stream, which soaked through everything, and pro-
mised effectually to mar the spirit of the day. About ten
o'clock, however, an unexpected and turreeable change took
place. 'rho rain ceased, and the ann shone brightly until
noon, when there was again threatening indications of rain,
but the clouds cleared away without further rain, and the
remainder of the day was remarkably fine. There was a
large and fashionable attendance, the racing was good, and
the fields numerous : _ _

WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 14.—The weather was bright and
cheering, inducing thousands to turn out by the early. trains,
to witness the St. Leger contest. The bustle and animation
which prevailed in the town were unprecedented, so large a
mass of people never having been present on any previous
occasion. On the course, the stands were inconveniently
crowded, and every available point which commanded a view
of the race was thronged with anxious spectators. The re-
ceipts at the Grand Stand amounted to £3,300. The friends
of West Australian remained firm to the last, taking 5 to 4
about him in large sums. We subjoin a return :

A beautiful start was effected, and Sittingbourne rushed off
with the lead, followed by The Reiver, Catspaw, Feversham,
and Mr. Sykes, West Australian and Balrownie lying in the
centre, and Rataplan, Cobnut, and Cineas bringing up the
rear. On ascending the hill the speed was greatly increased,
and Catspaw and Mr. Sykes, being unable to go the pace,
dropped off towards the rear. At the Red House, West Aus-
tralian and Rataplan gradually drew up towards the f.'ont,
and on rounding the turn took first and third places. From
this point West Australian had the race all to himself, and
made the running borne at a tre'nendous pace, closely ac-
companied by The Reiver, Rataplan, and Balrownie. At the
Stand the favourite went away from his horses, and won with
the greatest ease by about three lengths. Rataplan was four
lengths behind The Reiver, Balrownie a bad fourth, Cobnut
fifth, and Feversham sixth. Cineas never showed in the race
at all, and Sittingbourne, after he had resigned the lead to
West Australian fell back to the extreme rear, and finished
about the last. Run in 3 min. 19 sec.
