The prize is the olaest of which the English turf can boast, for though 1t did not receive @name—tit had the local habitation—tull 1798, when 1t was called after Colonel St. Leger, @ noted svortaman: of those days. It was founded two years carher, and thus takes precedence of the Oaks, which Was institu ted in 1779, sud of the Derby, which dates from 1780, In Its first season tt had no more than six nomi- hations; but singe that period—except in 1735, when there were but flve—ihe numbers have steadily In- creased unill in 1865, Gladinteur’s year, there were ho fewer than 245, The largest field that ever started for the rave was that of 1825, when Memnon Won and when thirty ran; and the smallest since the commencement of the century that of 1852, when Stockwell was successful, only six appearing at the posi, Yesterday there were, quite contrary to gen- eral expectation, no fewer than nineteen runners; but of these three were started, merely for the pur- pose of making @ purse for their stable companions. It may not be out of place to remind your readers that the Si. Leger is the last of the great three-year- olds contests of our racing season, the other two being the Two Thousand Guineas, at Newmarket, and the Derby, at Epsom. The only horses that have ever won all three prizes were Mr, Bowes’ West Aus- trakau, in 1853; Count de Lagrange’s Gla- diaceur, in 1865, and Mr. Sutton’s Lord Lyon, in 1800. The winners of the St, Leger who had previously secured the Derby were Mr. Wilson's Champion, in 1800; Lord Clifden’s Surplice, in 1848; Lord Ltiington’s Fiymg Dutchman, in 1849; Lord Zetiaud’s Voitigeur, im 1860, and Mr, I, Anson's Blatr Athol, 11864, Mr, Mrrtyn’s Queen of Trumps, who carried of the St. Leger in 1835, had previously secured the three-year-old fillies’ race—the Oaks— and Mr, Grahain’s Formosa, who was successfal at Doncaster In 1863, had before taken not only the Oaks, but had divided the ‘two Thousand Guineas with Mosiem. The race of yesterday, which was worth £5,525, or $22,100, fe! to a horae—Mr. Mor- gan’s Hawithornden—who, in the two Thousand Guineas, finished no nearer than jourth to Mr. Mer- Ty's Macgregor, and who did noc ran in the St. Le- ger, It will be remembered that Kingeraft, who was second to Maogregor in the Two Toousand, beat him Inte feurth place in the Derby, and now Haw- thornden, who had finished fourth in the ‘(wo Thou- wind, Came out and easiiy disposed of Kin geraf. Another illustration of the giorivus uncertainty of racing. THE ATTENDANCE. ‘The St. Leger 1s the great race of the North coun- try, though of course it 14 regarded with extreme interest over the length and breadth of the land, and annuaily draws an enormous crowd irom all the centres of industry as well a3 from the agricultural districts in the North. ‘The farmers and ferm labor- ers of Yorkshire, the knifegrinders of SheMeld, the cloth workers of Leeds, Bradford and other West Riding towns; the colliers of Tyne side, the iron smelters of Cleveiand, the shipbuuders of the Wear, the cotton operatives of Lancashire, the miners of Derbyshize, are always largely represented. There Was, however, @ nianifest failing off yestenlay, a fact which may be due to the abscuce from the race of any great horse from ie Northera staliles, to the de- Pression that at present exists Lo the turi world, to the deep interest taken tn the war, to the © sion of almost everything else. THE MARKET MOVEMENTS. The change u the market has been of a startling character, and the withdrawal of one or two cele- brated antmais has done much to rob the race of that hold on the public enthusiasm which it would otherwise huve possessed, From the day on which Lord Falmoutn’s Kingcrait won the Dervy, beating bis former conqueror, Macgregor, he has been the Javorite and has mainiained is place with extrayr- dinary lirmness. Mr. Merry’s dily Sunsiine) how- ever, Whose two-year-old career Was 50 Dritliaat, was, notwithstanding her wretched foria at Epsom, greatly favored, aud for a time trod closely on Kingerait’s heels, but sue could not be trained, and Was at length “seraiched.”? Mr. Merry’s other rep- resentauive, Macgregor; did liitie work for a long period after his deteat in the Derby, but was re- cently, on his resuming raining, in great demaud by the public, lo Whose disgust he broke down last ert day, and he, too, was struck out. Mr. Merry’s third representative, the splendid bub way. ward Suuiight, was tien Introduced, and backed down to short price, and lus disaster wil be mentioned further on, Mr. Crawfurd’s Paimerston Who Was second to Kingerast in the Derby, has been oue of the steadicst in tue betting, aud has nearly al- ways held a lugh posttiun in tie quotations, He had notrun till yesterday since the Derby. The recent performances of Lord almouth’s Gertrude gave Wheat-ear, tic stavie companion of her and King- cratt, & grew chance, and she was within the past fewdays backed for a great deal of money, and reached comparatively sort odds. Hawthornden has never Leen fancied by the public, and a few days ago one hundred to one couid have been obtamed avout him, but at the last the owner and party backed hun so heavily that he was quoted at one thousand to thirty-ilve, @ very nice price for a win- ner, THE RUNNERS were as follows:— The St, Leger Stakes of 25 sovs, each, for three-vear- olds; cots 122 ibs, fillies 117 lbs; the seechd re- ceived 200 sovs. and the third 100 sovs. out of the sinkes.
