SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

DONCASTER, Sitre: It
THE ST. LEGER STAKES.
The first termite really appears to us to be Undeserving of the
prominent station he Midi in the odds. In bur bumble opinion,
was he the property of any other Gentleman than Mr. Watt, the
public would not take 1,000 to 10 about him. We shall not be the
least surprised if be does not even get a place. His baying beat
Bedlamite, does not appear to us to speak much in his favour, foe
although Bedlamite is a nice looking racing-like horse, be does not go
any pace; he has only cantered since he has been here: if this pre•
paration will win the Leger, the trouble other trainers take Is use..
less ; putting this out of the question, no Judge can find fault with
his appearance.
Mulatto (who, with the rest of Bat' Fitewilliam's hones, is
trained about four miles from Doocaster, and will not be here till
to-morrow) by his public running, is decidedly the best, and if
Actaeon was not stump d in his race with Memnon, he'll win, or
be very near. The Drape looks Well, goes Well, and it a better fa.
vourite than Crusader, Lord Wharncliffe having declared to win with
him; but we cannot divest ourselves of the recollection tbatCrusadet
beat Goshawk twice, and Goshawk beat the Dragon. If there is any
thing in public performance, Crusader will have a good chance, If the
Dragon has, and we should not be astonished to see hint very near
winning. Tarrare is a long-legged beast, wish shortpasterns, large
belly, and appears to be as slow as a man. The General looks well,
and goes well—if ever he did do so. Our old friend Forth is once
more certain of sinning; his lot look well, and go tolerably;
but we fear it's no go for him this time. Fanny Davies Will be
"there, or thereabouts," unless the report be true that she will not
start; she is a sweet filly, and very full of action. Patti Pry is
wrong named; he is not that cunning looking personage you would
expect to see—be should be re-christened "Cock Pheasant." Last,
tbnugh not least in the public estimJtion, comes the Duke of Leeds'
Lisette filly ; if her temper does not stop her, she will be as near as
a toucher. There are many who will not be surprised if the follow-
ing are the first four :—M utak°, Crusader, Fanny Davies, and
Lisette. It is expected that about 28 will start.
We subjoin the latest odds on &. Leger.
