THE DONCASTER MEETING.
I fancied that I had quite finished with the Doncaster meeting (cays the "Special Commissioner" of the London Sportsman), but some lines forwarded to me by a correspondent who wishes to remain anonymous are too good to be left in obscurity. They are as follows: — "WEDNESDAY A"ND FRIDAY, DONCASTER WEEK, 1902. Oh! Sceptre, flying past the post, Oh ! Sceptre, tiling down the course, Upon my word you are a most Capricious kind of female horse! Like feet "beneath a petticoat," This charming mare runs "in and out." In these few lines I think that the best filly of the present season has been hit off !• to a nicety. We may never know whether, when they were both at the top of their form, she or Ard Patrick is the better, but whereas the x>lt has always run. up to something like the same form, the. filly, "wiicn she is good, is very good indeed, and when she is bad >he is horrid."
