DONCASTER ST LEGER AND THE CUP Forecast of Two Great English Fall Races News and Gossip from tho Other Side London Eng August 15 With the Doncaster meeting rapidly approaching talk of the St Leger and its probabilities begins to crop up frequently This last of the socalled classics will be run Wed ¬ nesday September 9 There are exactly one hundred and fifty colts and lillies eligible to start but In the opinion of those who ought to know the field will not be great in number of starters J B Joels Your Majesty is and for some time past has Itcun the nominal favorite but in some quarters there is a decided disposition to decry his right to that distinction The Derby winner SIgnorinetta has Ixien doing as well as could be asked in her work of late and as the St Leger Is notoriously a mares race there is a growing disposition to regard her as the probable winner There is also con ¬ siderable favorable report concerning Norman III This colt has recovered from the accident that dis ¬ abled him in the Derby and has been galloping with great freedom and vigor of late Mr Leopold dc Rothschilds Santo Slrato has a St Leger follow ¬ ing but it is well known that Norman III was from seven to ten pounds the better of the two be ¬ fore the Derby Mr W Hall Walkers Royal Realm is viewed with much favor by some shrewd people lie is a longstriding grand appearing young horse that will be suited by the old Town Moor course and the distance of the St Leger His noted stable mate AVJiito Eagle appears to be touched in the wind and so hardly up to such a race Mr Ben dous Ebor has run so well this year that barring accident he is sure to be a starter with a follow ¬ ing The Duke of Portlands Primer second to Signorinetta In the Derby was beaten by Santo Strato in the Prince of Wales Stakes at Ascot but it is thought the St Leger course will be more suitable to his action and he is considered to have a chance The two excellent and staying fillies Courtesy and Siberia are held in esteem for the race and Vamose will be ghcn a chance to display his bad manners again Some outsiders are given an occasional mention but on the whole It seems the following will be the startersi startersiHis His

Cup holds out unusual promise of a remarkable contest over its course of two miles Of the older division such grand stayers as The White Knight 141 pounds Wool Winder 141 Torpoiut 141 Radium 141 and Dean Swift 12S would alone suffice for a great race but be ¬ sides them are entered such highclass threeyear olds as Norman III 126 Pillo 121 and Santo Strato 121 Among the nominations are also four from France M M Caillaults Rol Herode and Mortier each of which will have to carry 130 pounds and M A Pcllcrins La Belle IV and Aquarelle 127 pounds each Last year the Cup had only five starters Velocity winning with Bridge of Canny second and The White Knight third It will not be at all surprising if twice that many should start this year The Cup will be run Friday September ll Twentynine horses are nominated nominatedPerhaps Perhaps the value of jbckcyship was never more strongly Illustrated than in the Bcdfout Maidqn Plate at Kcmptou yesterday which Maher secured on Pilgrims Way which was distinctly inferior to Hallatoii which finished second No blame what ¬ ever attaches to Dahill who rode the loser It was simply a case of the more practiced and finished horseman beating his inferior Probably Mr R C Dawsou who trains for Captain Allfrey did not quite appreciate his horses chance and so failed to secure the bust ixjssible jockey or in the alterna ¬ tive overestimated its capabilities aud so put up an unfashionable rider to secure a price priceSauge Sauge Pourpree now looks to have a great chance of whining the big race next Sunday which is now called the Grand Prix de TrouvilleDeauville TlK race Is worth over 15000 aud it is surprising that no English horse now goes over to run for this rich prize Last year it was won by Punta Gorda which has also won the Prix de Longchamps Punta Gorda Is the own sister of Poor Boy which was bought as a yearling by Mr Sol Joel at Deanville Mr Joel ran Procope for the Grand Prix last year luit he could finish no nearer than fourth This year Biniou stands at the head of the weights but he may not run in fact he went back to Chan tilly last week in company with Chryscis Of course he can come back again in time if necessary
