1‘bolcmy has not (frown nine* last year, but although i, ( . j 8 
rntlipr liigli on tbe lop, be is n imnreular, blood-like animal 
especially about tbe bind qua, -lore. Having i wo bst C> lbs 
engagements i'i view, tbe lad bud evidently orders to win as 
lino ns he timed. However, ho did his task ns coolly as Dumb} 
himself could have done; and, judging from t lie admirable 
form in which Mr. Knowles’s horses uie brought out by tlx 
Inner trainer-jockey, it seems quite on the cards that tbe 
harlequin jacket may again becomo ns formidable us it was 
of yore iu Yorkshire in Mr. Watts’s prime. Tbe field for the 
Hopeful exceeded Inst year’s by one, butflioy underwent tbe 
saddling process like ns many lambs. Tukrn o* a whole 
they were very mod. rate to look at. but they were nearly nil 
forward tn their preparation. There Was no bloom' on 
Cyprinua, though she seemed lull of spirits. Her forehand 
is good, but her back only middling, «u.«| her quarters very 
shabby. Excitement was slight, lengthy, and pretty, and 
quito the rncc-horeo of tho lot for look, but we jusidoubi 
whether her pasterns will stand. Tbe llujali was an inferior 
edition of Ycwlick, nnd Speed (if wo mistako not) wus a 
mere short brown pouv, with as much resemblance to hi? 
half- brother, Tcddington, ns n horao to a bippopoluinus 
Hu rod a was odd in the back; and Cartwright, we think, wu 
on something that seemed to hare no loins whatever. Cham 
llclecr will soon receivo sentence of banishment, if hit 
coming runners arc not more racing-like than Kinnm 
Bennett, who was, however, a perfect princess lo sumo of 
the. Olliers. The first of the Hateatohers escaped 
notice. Mr. Lilcy’s filly went very well, and (ho 
Flatterer wns rather a nice, lengthy animal, but perhaps 
narrow. It brought hack tho Gcnaral Chosse days t. 
see Holmes once more in tho bluck and white stripes, 
nr.d Fohert nt his home’s bend ; but Sir James Boswell 
will have to look farther n field than Freddy for the two- 
vear-nbl victories nt Icrtst. This son of Pyrrhus is very 
large in the barrel, and quite ns furnished ns a thrcc-year- 
old, but he got oil' last but one. After nil, lie lias not 
quite so much size ns Palmerston, who is very much of his 
build; while her ladyship supported the blood of Mel 
bourne, of w hich she wns the only specimen, by slipping 
along from the start, nnd cantering nwny from every tiling. 
She looks less out of her clothes than she does in them, 
and is plain, not very lengthy, nnd with capital ribs nnd 
lop cars. We should think she is barely fifteen- one, and 
better than she looks. The jockeys were sadly troublesome ; 
and as they complained sadly of want of room at the start, 
this race is next year to commence nt the lied House. 
All was now anxiety for the steeplechase; nnd the 
scene by the side of the water-jump was enlivened by an 
infusion of n few pinks, including Mr. Lumley, who arrived 
at that moment across country, after killing their fox in the 
neighbourhood. The rare weight-carrying specimen of an 
English hunter, oil which the latter was mounted, quite 
put to slininc all the professional performers that were furth- 
w ith saddled. Oscar and Clansman were both struck out* 
and though Spring was on the ground, and Archer all ready 
tite field . 
[Saturday, 
dressed, some di-satisfaction (so it was said) about Tibs, 
extra, disposed of him also. Star of Englund was rnciii"- 
likc, and ran remarkably well ; but St. Mark seemed 
have no four miles in him. Mr. Moseley held the key of 
the position, and would say nothing on Mr. Johnson’s 
board as to which of his two was to win. Trout was on 
the ground in his sheets to keep Bourlon (who lmd Ids 
mouth carefully washed out alter the canter) company 
nnd looked a nice compact fellow, with peculiarly long 
hoofs. Jam pa way was a fine old-fashioned hunter in 
bandages; ami Rourton wns, to our eve, decidedly litter 
and brighter in the coat than lie was at. Liverpool. It is 
idle to dwell on the race, beyond simply staling, that it 
will long be si great historical fact in Doncaster^ t lmt six 
horses went over the water-jump in the second round on 
'cry fair terms with each other. As a general rule, only 
one or two have that honour. Mnley is very lengthy and 
racing-looking, but her immensely long neck must render 
her unsafe, nnd she crouched and quivered like an aspen 
when Thrift mounted her. Nothing, in fact, but the very 
determined way in which he sent her at the brook, pre- 
vented her soft heart from influencing her legs in the first 
round ; as it was, she jumped very short. Lucy Neale 
made two very nice efforts In each' round, and ran very 
> low and steady ; and it is really wonderful how a inure of 
her non-racing look has ever won so often. “ Bandages, " 
after nil, did the brook best, and made the most beautiful 
buck-like spring, in the second round, that we ever wit- 
nessed. It created quite a buzz of delight on the Stand, 
mid the brook jumping was throughout a great hit. Hour- 
ton. however, bungled at it the hist time, and brought the 
rail dow n. With that exception. Ins jumping wns steady 
and scientific to a degree, and, like Peter Simple und 
British Yeoman, lie has the art of getting awav ihc instant 
lie lands. Added to this, the quiet way in which lie fol- 
lowed his horses, waiting till Tasker ‘told him to go up 
ami finish, was worthy of Lottery in his proudest day. 
He is rising nine. We may mid, that a well-known steeple- 
chase owner was so disgusted at Liverpool, that he vows 
lie will never bet on a steeplechase again. 
The sports on Wednesday opened with what the vin«» 
considered a match between Gamekeeper nnd Ptolemy, the 
latter giving away 8 lbs. Gamekeeper’s reported spins at 
Hamblcdon with Kingston inspired great confidence in the 
stable, that they would he able to take the shine out ’of 
their quondam “ confederate.” However, Bum by carried 
out the Hill Scott and .Job Mnrson tactics, ami “ would have 
the rails;” nnd hence, after being twice disappointed in his 
efforts, Gamekeeper was obliged to challenge him on the 
off-side. lie is n light nnd rather leggy horse, with a great 
stride. The party tried to make out that Mr. Peart 
started them budly, which did not seem to he the case. 
As it struck us, although, owing to the rebellious whims 
of the young jockeys, lie was rather long about it. his 
starts were very good on the whole. Sister to Aphrodite 
was a very mild affair; nnd Johnny Taft a wretched pony 
edition of Chanticleer. Ptolemy "was again greatly ad- 
mired. Solne said lie was like Surplice, a remark which 
certainly does not hold good as far as his forehand is con- 
cerned, and others thought his points quite Stiltoiiic. Jt 
seems not unlikely that the stock ofPyrfhus the First may, 
as a general thing, not come to their rutming before their 
third year. Ptolemy is no bad proof of this, and Fobert’s 
friend* sny that even Lumproclcs shows great improve- 
ment on his hurt year's form. It is a curious fact, that 
their tire was tried by the Days to be so had at two years’ 
old, that he wm never brought out, mid was within mi Acc 
of being cut and put out or training altogether. 
Tltc winner of the Juvenile Selling (’‘The very little 
Flta”) looked like a mere foal, as Chlunnn cantered her ; 
hut she supported the honour or the Doncaster district 
and, when she stood up before Jhe WWiloiicci, she was 
generally guessed nt fourteen, three. It was Waned that 
ilos was the maiden win of the led nnd white stripes 
which have been hoisted this acnvnn by a nephew or “Tl,c 
Squire’s,” nnd Ex-lli ji HhcrilTi.f Yorkshire. Pv fur the 
lightest geiitlcimtn-j.Kk of ihc <l:iv officiated in this race 
nt 7st. 3 His., on mi Annnndnlc filiy. The 1? field for the 
Doncaster Handicap was a right goodly sight, und Alon- 
zos friends took heart of grace from the report, that Mr. 
Moseley had refused, after Liverpool, a most advantageous 
Gallic offer for him. 1 1 is condition wns hard ami beuuti- 
ftil to a degree, nnd he was ridden in n plain snaffle He 
was spurred on his near side, not severely, hut rather 
wildly; nnd lie won so cleverly, that if. seems very odd 
they <hd not Accept at 7M. 4 II,,:. with j,j, u f ur l]ie Great 
Northern, vve might Well worn our renders how favour- 
ably he was in for tliAt rare, f^rrvwheut looked nearly 
as so fit as Dawson can make him : hut he was fairly out- 
paced from end to cud. He is a fine stout Animal, and 
reminds us of Pantomime. Ptolemy did not show nt all 
in it; but, with st. 5 lbs., they have no doubt ail eve to 
the Northamptonshire Stakes." Catherine Parr ran re- 
markably well ; and, whai with her sweeping action and 
heavy head, she looks like old Kllcrdale come hack again 
King of Trumps blew ns high ns ever, mid looked °ond 
went well, ns he always does. It was not Hungerford's 
day, nnd the public soon found it out. lie showed a good 
deal of temper, nnd was fjlnwcd by an aide-de-camp on 
foot with a Iiunting-wliip. He has' lost his long narrow 
shape, and is certainly nude up into perhaps the most 
perfect shaped horse in England. He looked much 
darker in the coat than we have ever seen him, and cer- 
tainly lmd not been ‘ wound up” in earnest for this 
event. The last race of the meeting was ihc best, and, in 
fuel, the only one which obliged Mr. Hatfield to “look 
out ” in earnest ; Kendall getting Criterion's head ns 
cleverly out of Chancery, ns he got His own out, last Mon- 
day, in the Nancy annuity business. Mr. Martinson has 
no interest in this marc now, and is, wc believe, about 
to become a metropolitan licensed victualler. Odd ns it 
may seem, we hear, on good authority, ihut she will he put 
in training this year. West Australian is also said to he in 
great fettle, and his stable seem to fancy that 8st. I 2 lbs. 
will not stop him for the Great Northern. Carrol, we regret 
to find, is not sufficiently recovered from his last year's 
illness, to “ waste ” so early in the season. A. Paris, we also 
hear, has left Mi r.I)rinkftld’s,iitid gone to Spigot Lodge, whose 
whilom hero, Elthiron, is now in France. Canute, whom 
we have always alluded to as a dangerous Derby outsider, 
bus bettered his position this week, but wc cannot hear 
whether he has done so oil the strength of any great trial; 
And although the public still fuiicy Dervish, there. Arc a 
great many quiet operations, by good men, from time to 
'iine, on our friend Acrobat.
