, THE ST. LEGER,
utmost Tux DONCASTER GAZETTg.)
Never has there been known, during any; former vear,i higher
degree of interest with respect to the decision of 'the St. Leger
race than that which prevails on all hands at the present time;
and it may be fairly questiOned whether, On any former
mica-
sion, the qualities of many Ofthe respective coMpetitors'in this
great struggle were so superior as, is
,this year the case. The
public performances of Ells, of Yulture,i:of Beeswirig, of Tro-
- of Gladiator fully entitle them to he classed as Superior.

the great interest in

pressed, on one hand,,that'Elis or Vaiiire, Must win, and, on'the.
other, that no One, can lass with assisted by his,

it may be presumed, we repeat, that, hais possessed of estraor-.
dinary powers. Yet, as he has done nothing in public running,
,as he has never been placed side by side with his many, and for-
, :inidable competitors, the favour in which he is held'can only be
attribtited to highly favonrabre accounts froM 'his training
ground, seeing, also, who is his purchaser, and the reasons
:which have Induced that purchase. It Must be admitted, with
.respect to Giles, that he is placed in the hands of those who are
capable of judging what he can, and what he can not do; but it
is en old and a true axiom, that a reliance upon private trils
is generally attended with a failure in public running, especially:
amid the heat, and excitement, and struggle, and strife of such'
a thundering race as the St. Leger. But a word or two as to'
his competitors. Elis arrived here on Monday evening, after a
journey in one day of upwards of eighty miles, in the Eclipse
fashion; in his' green carriage and six, accompanied by a, Druin-
mer, amid the eclat of the whole of Peloponesiis which has
.'been responded to from the Acropolis of 'I attersall's. -Elis's -
carriage is divided into two stalls, the sides 'of which are stuffed
and rendered free from the possibility of danger: The care
and attention which he received sufficiently evince the anxiety'.
of his owner as well, as that. of.his trainer. :He appeared on
the training ground the, following morning none the worse for
'bigjournev. 1-14 is jn,beautiful condition; . took his sweat.yes-.1
terday.of four,miles. with .John Day. upon his back, who rode ,
Venison, a winner at Lichfield on the preceding day, and ap-'
peered afterwards as' lively as when first started, whilst his
companion, the Drummer, was evidently distressed. Judging,
indeed, from his present appearance, and taking_ into the esti-,
Mate what he has done, he must prove, in the race, a very for-
.raidable competitor. .Vulture has , been here some days: she'
.has taken her work regularly and in good.style. Of hertleet-
.ness there is ,no. question; as to her lasting, it remains to be
Proved. , Wedge arrived on Wednesday. He is a very power-
