DONCASTER RACES.

Win) has not heard of the Great St. Leger? and who has not heard of Mr. Gully ?—a boxer and a gentleman—rare and singular combination! and rarer still, by common consent of all, an honest man, though his fortune was originally made, and has long been maintained, by betting! Such a person ought to win by poetical justice ; and for once, poetry and truth have met and kissed each other—Gully has won. The fa- vourite, Nicotris, has lost favour ; the Retainer has proved no fee - the teeth of Fang are drawn ; Brother to Maria has gone to play with his sister ; Bird-catcher has dropped his call ; Byzantium is antiquated; Trustee is no longer trustworthy ; Julius has abdicated the dictator- ship ; the Physician is sick of his own prescriptions; General Ludlow is cashiered—Margrave is both Margrave and Landgray. ,e Lord of the March and Sovereign of the Turf. All the world of Doncaster were on Monday in arms on the report of Ludlow being sold; in vain Mr. Beardsworth assured them, that, sold or not sold, his running was se- cure; they would not be assured. " They would rot pay their bets if lie won"—he has lost. It is amusing to look at the list of odds for Saturday-

9 to 2 against Nicotris. 11 to 1 against Trustee. 5 to 1 against Retainer. 16 to 1 against Julius. 7 to 1 against Fang. 16 to 1 against Margrave. 8 to 1 against Brother to Maria. 16 to 1 against Physician. 12 to 1 against Bird-catcher. 20 to 1 against Ludlow. 14 to 1 against Byzantium.

What a terrible lengthening of faces must Wednesday have pro- duced !

But we detain our readers from the races. Here they are in due order—all as good as good weather, a good course, a good company, and good horses could make them.

Mr. Bond's br. c. Ludlow (Wright).

After the horses had taken the usual gallopbefore the stand, they met at the start-

ing-post; and at the word "Go," all went off except Ludlow, Physician, and Fang ; the second attempt was successful. Roue made first running. Mr. Powlett's filly being se- cond, Carlton third, and Bird-catcher fourth; Trustee, Fang, Retainer, Margrave, and Julius. lying in a cluster behind. Going a very poor pace, they observed this order of rata- Ding to the Red House, where some shifting of places, and an increase of skeed, were per- ceptible. Roué dropped off, and Mr. Powlett's filly went "to the fore;" Bird-catcher be- came second, Julius showed in front for a moment. Marglave, from about the eighth. advanced to the fourth position, and Physician got among the leading horses. lain fast- run race, the tailing generally begins at the Red House, but the pace was so bad, that none were beaten off till near the rails, where Ludlow was the first to cry " Peccam; the crack Newmarket nag, Byzantium, was the nest to give up, and then Carlton. Mr. Powlett's filly kept the lead to the rails, where Bird-catcher went up, ran a few strides with her and beat her at the distance; in the mean time, Margrave had been stealing upon them, and no sooner had Bird-catcher shaken of the mare, than he discovired a new and more dangerous opponent at his side. Calloway was shaking his horse, while Robinson was gently moving his, till he got up with the Bird-catcher: this took place near the Graud Stand, and now the superiority of joekeyship was decisive. Margrave continued to improve his advantage, and won cleverly by about three-quarters of a length. Mr. Powlett's filly and Physician came in close together, the filly being third by not more than a head, Richmond was fifth, Retainer sixth, and Julius seventh. Va- lue of the stakes 2,2051.

The reporter speaks of a marked falling off in the company, owing to the exertions of the " Saints," who have busied themselves in stick- ing up quotations from Scripture all over the town, and propagated moreover—a pious fraud, be says—a report of cholera being in the place. We should be inclined to give more weight to the fear of disease than to any other fear for the falling off; which, however, is complained of, we think from the following list of attendance, without sufficient reason— Duke of Richmond, Duke of Leeds, Marquis and Marchioness of Cleveland, Marquis Graham, Marquis of Exeter, Count Matuchewitz, Count Tzechynzi, Baron Biel, M.
