322 THE KACINCi SEASON, 1845. 



Sweepstakes for two-year-old fillies, as did Arkwright the 

 same with that for colts : and Sting secured the Molecomb 

 Stakes, he is by far the best of the two-year-olds out. 

 His Majesty of the Netherlands honoured the course on 

 the Wednesday and Thursday. 



York August Meeting goes on improving, the sport this 

 year greatly surpassing that of its predecessors. The 

 Great Ebor Handicap brought together a good field, won 

 by Coheiress, Malcolm won the Prince of Wales's Stakes 

 in a canter, beating a large field of two-year-olds ; and 

 Miss Sarah's performance for the Great Yorkshire Stakes, 

 made her a great favourite for the Doncaster St Leger. 



Doncaster produced more than its average of sport. 

 Princess Alice won the Champagne Stakes, but was beaten 

 on the Friday for the Two-year-old Stakes by the filly by 

 Velocipede, out of Garland. Miss Sarah showed her quality 

 by running second for the St Leger, and winning the Park 

 Hill Stakes in a canter, beating Miss Elis among the lot. 

 Fortune again smiled on Sweetmeat, who carried off the 

 Cup gallantly, beating Alice Hawthorn among the number. 

 The game old mare was off in her running this year. 



The Newmarket October Meetings brought out its usual 

 lot of two-year-olds; but with the exception of Sting 

 nothing of great promise. The great Handicaps excited 

 more than their usual amount of interest. The Cesarewitch, 

 as already recorded. The Baron secured ; while the Cam- 

 bridgeshire produced one of the best races on record, won, 

 after a severe struggle, by Alarm.
