'KE LEGER. COUROZ AT DONCASTET!..--LIII 1825, Mem-
Alan's year, 30 started for the St. Leger, and there was
great difficulty in getting them all off.; accordingly, in the
following year, 1826, the starting placewas widened. and
some trifling alterations made besides. 7.1:p to this time
the'length of the course was 1 mile 6 furlongs and 193
yards, but when they came to measure-it• again, after the
alterations, it was found to be only 1 mile 6 furlongs and
132-yards, or 61 yards shorter, and,so it lar.s remained ever
since. Memnon, consequently, was the last that won it
on the longer course in 1825; and'Tarrare the first on
the-shorter in 1826. In 1818, on the longer course, Re-
veller won in a common canter by two or three lengths,
in the shortest time on record.
