THE GRAND RACING TOUR IN SUSSEX.

TO THI IDITOJ OP Tin 1.121148.

Slit,—The &tat of the Goodwood Meeting was I
hardly depreciated by the falling off in the number of hones
running during the four days, for scarcely one of the coo.
testa hat io importance thereby, and as the elements were
more than usually propitious, th ere was nothing to mar the
success of the gathering. The two-year-old races decided
were six in number, and won respectively by the filly by
Saunterer out of Miestimima, the colt by Stockwell out of
Alma, Paris, Lady Hylda, and Pale de l'Air, Paris tarrying
off • couple of them. It was the first appearance of
the two first-named, and Paris may be said to have
virtually made his di,161, for he only ran behind his!

so heavily for the Findoo, one of his opponents in which,
Linda, had been so highly tried that be must be cousi- ;
dered all the Derby bores be looks, if be has not yet
beaten say public animal of note. In the Nursery his
stable-companion, Idler, was second to him, and with the pair
the Amerman Wens' will be well represented in many an
encounter. The font displayed by the Alma colt sod Fills
de l'Air was, however, of • more decisive character, espe-
cially on the part of the French filly, who beat the much-
vaunted Scottish Chief with such ridiculous see as to effec-
tually settle his Derby pretensions. The Alma colt almost
as wily disposed of erytheia and Durham for the Lavaet,
and proved himself quite the equal of the best performers
at the Newmarket July Mestans, as Crytheia was there
snood to both Scottish laid mod Evelina, the first-named
being also "up aides" with Cambiums and Midnight Maas.
He is entitled to es mach respect es Paris if then is not so
much size about him ; but it is evident that up to the pro.
sent time the fillies have shown themselves the better horses
this season, and it is evident now there errs no mistake in
Fills de defeat of Molly Carew at Epsom, which
makes her out the very best two-year-old of the year, as
Molly Carew was giving Light 51b. when running her to a
head at Bath. The threm-yeszold doings brought so fresh
favourite for the St. Leger, as Lord Gleagow is supposed to
hr ye something at horn superior to Clarice, and neither
Jarnieoton nor Ossidia can be considered of a clam to con-
test each • is,., while the two who so greatly distinguished
themselves in the Cup are mot engaged. Still, laolioe and
IA Toucques improved the chances of Queen Bertha and
the Ranger • and the pair finished so far before Fairwater,
Buckaroos Zetland, that the idea hitherto entertained
of this year's three-veer-olds being below the avenge looks
a false one—or would have done so, at ley rate, had not
Millionaire premed Lobos so hardly for the Queen's Plate.
Bet this form is not to bo resiocikd with boluses previous
exhibition, or Millionaire would have to be set down a much
superior animal to Bucksteme and Fain/star, which none of
his previous performances, good as some were, would justify.
The Goodwood Stakes, like the Cup, was all in favour of
the thresyser-olds who were first, second, and third ; but
the great gun, Aofield, was beaten very cleverly by Black•
down, and there must have been some mistake in his
trial when the latter's position in the Chesterfield Cup is
ratios], for be was ieveal leogthe behind Tippler, who gave •
him 61b. This ergot showed An of Clubs to have returned'
to his "old form," as he beat Aurelian somewhat
cleverly with the worst of the weights, and upset all the
other • pots" with the greatest ease; bat the victory •
created no surprise after his easy defeat of Piccedrr in the
long race oo Tuesday, which warns in much tatter time ,
than the Coro, and caused doubts to be raised whether he is
really a " roarer." The other races call for ao tome k.
that the Swards' Cup produced as fine • finish es
except
Stewards'
capping could make it, one half of the field forming a
most compact body as they rushed part the winning chair.

Jack o' Hearts Barchettios the Wasp galdinf, and Black-
down ran at Goodwood, Blackdowo, Jack o Hearts, and
Magnum Bonus being handicapped almost to a nicety, on
the positions they occupied for the Ask's. as Magnum
Bonn= is meeting ths winner oo 91b,, and Jack o' Hearts on
31b better terms. He could have beaten the latter for
third place had he been persevered with to the finish, and
consequently, to hold him male, Drewitt's stable will have to '
stand on Blackdown again, it being a near thing even he-
tween them at the weights. Zellarad, Hallman, Spencer,
Berchettins and the Wasp gelding can have no charts
with the trio after their indifferent performances : but Lord
Clyde has too light • weight lime to be despised, and Black-
dow n, Jack o' Hearts, and Magnum Booum have alsoerizz:
thing totem from the thirteen newcomers, of which B
loader is • et.ble compel:don of Magnum Bonum, and army
dangerous gentleman, if the selected of the two. How-
ever, the Kona and Umpire are of such a superior clam !
to the other old ones that they look capable of
giving the weight away ; and as Blackdowa is the best of the
Knave
the pair may comprise the winner, for the
Knave gave Doetor Syntax 2616 sad • beatias at Liverpool,

not greatly superior to the Doctor's, who ran *mood to
Iselin at Salisbury and gams her 1116. With the money
on the Knave, conequeatly, the yellow jacket should just
about get home first, and Umpire will seriously trouble the

jection to a distance, as he nn a rogue as often in short ,
