GOODWOOD RACES.
WILDNISDAY.

The Stakes•day was somewhat dreary. Rain had
fallen heavily throughout the night, and it continued
with sharp guile of wind until a late hour in the morn-
ing. The dull old city of Chichester looked duller than
ever In the driving rain, for even that temporary anti
city which was wont to be imparted to It in the race
week was not discernible. The customary " block" of
flies and oimolieu at the Crone did not once occur, and •
lack of visitors caused • diminution in the bawling and
with such
wehoritiatinng weffeothlobliywee.re formerly

and their

"bucks." The characteristics of Goodwood racer-the
" gloriee" which are associated with the meeting, the
broad sunshine, the gay company, and the exhilarating
ride through pleasant lanes and the beautiful park—had
disappeared. As the time appointed for the commenceuent of the prooeedinge approached the sky brightened,
but the atmosphere was raw and damp, and the incle-
ment weather produced *marked effect on the attendance
of the general company. Only • very few carriages oc-
cupied the allotted space. There was no group of holi-
day folk on the Trundlehill. The owners of the three
animals that started for the first race were certainly bold
to put down £3OO for each of them. Lord of Loin,
Clydesdale, and Gourd were the competitors. Lord of
Lorn won easily enough. For the second race the
favourite was defeated, and Frederick landed in triumph
the colours of Lord W. Powlett, one of the stewards.
Again was the first favourite defeated for the Handicap
Plate ; and for the succeeding event, the Goodwood
Derby, a new item in the programme, the backers of
horses had a third turn of ill-luok, for Happy Land,
who was not backed for fsi., won with the most ridicu-
lous ease. The fortune of the bookmakers was reversed
by the principal event of the day, the "Stakes," which
was won by Boman Candle, who had since his mimes at
Liverpool grown in favour up to the very minute of
starting, and who was at last backed for an immense
sum of money at evens against the field. Many persons,
however, attribute his winning to an accident, for Vu!-
bock broke down a distance from home, and but for this
mishap he might have snatched the victory from the
favorite, who, however, did not escape scatheless, for he
cut his leg severely. Zoneve and Esperance bolted at
different points. Target and Queenstown merely ran
for the forfeits for the 300 BOWI. Sweepstakes, and the
Handicap Plate brought out eight canners, and °eta-
sioued a very pretty race. By the way, the Handi-
capper had a difficulty in weighing Woodburn, an
American-bred-Ilona, which they deemed so bad that
they actually turned him loose, allowing his owner to put
any weight upon him he liked. The wit, however, did
not start. Star of the Bast won the Drawing-room
Stakes, and with that event the sport was oomiluded.
Just before the last race the heavy clouds almost entirely
dispersed, the sun came out, and the evening was clear
and bright, putting • pleasant termination to • day
which commenced moat inauspiciously.

Ventre St. (Iris and Sodbury raced for the lead, and
soon placed • wide interval between themselves and
their pursuers, at the head of whom were Saunterer,
and Ruination. On quitting the straight the first two
were 'inwards of a down lengths a head, Ruination going
on third, with Arsenel and Saunterer next, Charleston,
who had ocoupied a forward place up to that point,
dropping nearly • hundred yards utern of everything.
They rounded the clump without changing their
posititiona, but immediately afterwards the advanced lot
closed up, and when they reappeared in sightliannterer

place, with Ventre St. Orb third, and Sedbury fourth.
Next in pursuit, and far behind them, were Schiedam
end Arsenal. On descending the hill Ventre St. Gris
went up to Fisherman's quarters, but was shaken off in
time bottom, whenee the rue warn confined to the first
two. Fishermen made • game effort to reach Saun-
terer, but failed, and Irarn beaten by • length. Nearly •
dozen lengths off, Schiedam was third, Ventre St. Orb
about 10 lengths behind him, and far in the rear the
others finished as if at exercise in the order eniunersted
above. Time, 5 minutes 3 seoonds.
