DONCASTER SPRING MEETING.
The seventh spring meeting was held on Tuesday and
Wednesday last, and was attended by a large number of
professionals as well as the general public. The Steeple-
chase, which was formerly the great attraction of the
meeting, proved only a tame affair ; Bourton's easy vic-
tory at Liverpool, and the many horses placed hors de
combat in that race, reduced the competitors for this race
to a very small number. Any lack of interest, however,
arising therefrom, was fully counterbalanced by the large
fields which contested the other races, twenty-two two
year olds having started for the Hopeful Stakes, the win-
ner being the property of Mr. Worthington, of Sharston-
hall, Cheshire, and trained by Zachary (Mr. W.'s private
trainer), at Northendon, in that county.

Lord Londesborough has determined to discontinue in
a great measure the preservation of game on his extensive

Eaton Hall, near Chester, on Saturday, the 4th instant,

man. She was bred by the late Mr. Orde, in 1833, and
was one of the most successful racers which ever appeared
on the English turf. She was the dam of Old Port, Nun-
nykirk, Bonnie Bee, Newminster, Norham, Honeydew,
Honeysuckle, and a yearling colt by the Flying Dutchman.
