GOODWOOD murnia.—WznirraDAY.

The "Stakes-day" sus spin favoured by splendid wee-
, thert sod the atemsdaime yea perhaps larger than on many
previous ocessiems, asiwillskading the genteel disapprota-
, tion created by the num sat fa which the principle handicap
i had been framed. Then was • tarp Meuse of visitors,
, and the " specials " from London were heavily laden with
pleasure seekers. At adulate* and Drayton, the places
I of "disembarkation," innunistable flys and vehicles were .
in readiness to convey company to the park. Driven or
Hymen, and their " too*" were as usual vociferous and
fiercely energetic in their effort& to secure " fans," and in-
. tending passengers like Sir Hugh Myddelion in the early
' stages of the New River scheme, bad to encounter "vexa-
tion and desperate despite," before they were accommo-
dated. The pleasant ride through the lanes with ripened
cornfields on each side, and the drive through the perk ap-
peared to be keenly relished by the rogajcurs, though the
clouds of dust and the pertinacity of the card-sellers and
other mendicants was evidently the reverse of agreeable to
the occupants of the drags, &hob.* and traps. Good-
wood-house dispensed its hospitalities on the present
anniversary end numbers of elegantly-dreamed ladles and
members of the aristocracy sauntered on the "croquet"
lawn, or is front of the mansion, until the hoar approached
for the commencement of the racing, when a general move
was made for the coarse. Sport was appointed to commence
at L3O, terminating at 5.15. The attendance, as mentioned
above, was very pest, the ring being completely filled with
book-makers and backers of horses, while the baloonies of
the Grand Stand and the lawn were occupied by the elite
of the aristocracy and "the landed gentry." Nor were the
customer/ diversions of a nor-course missing, for the " pony
of sensibility," " kaociVem-downs," and the philanthropic
distributors of gold clans (?) entertained the strolling holi-
day makers. Probably the course was never in finer order,
the turf springing underneath the foot as elastic as velvet.
As a matter of course the greatest intend was manifested
to learn the latest movements on the Stakes, the handicap,
from its numerous scratching, and the fluctuations
in the market, havingeetirely puzzled the most estate racing
judges. As far as we could ascertain the only operations of
decided intend were the renewed outlays in favour of St.
Bernard, which caused him tolsupplant Aadreyjor the posi-
tion of first favourite, but My Partner came with such •
rush that ultimately the latter had, the call for everything
in the race. The prices at which however they settled
down will be found fully detailed in the usual place. Very
little interest attached to the ongoing race, the Drawing
Room Stakes, in which, however' Watchfire, one of the
es Stak horses, was made favourite, and won a remarkably
fine race from the Whitewall mare Q.E.D., by a head,entirely through the brilliant aig Fordham. The
Goodwood Derby was contested by but three animals,
Alvediston, on the strength of his getting seoood in the
Stewarda'Cap on the preceding day, being made a strong
favourite, and be woo easily. Contrary to expectation the
field mustered 16 strong, almost double as numerate as bad
been supposed would assemble at the post. The isms of the
contest was an astonishing surprise, as all the favourites
were ,ignominiously beaten, and the winner, Boabdil,
who landed his colours very easily, was almost
toothy unbecked by anyone except the owner, who
took 1,000 to 15 on Saturday, and 600 to 5 since ; but alto-
gether, independent of the stakes, the owner wins between
3,0001. and 4.0001. Boabdil has been defeated in all kinds
of minor races in various parts of the country ; and even as
recently as in the Newmarket July Meeting he ran a dead
heat with a " plater " named Oberon, and in the deciding
heat, with odds laid on him, was beaten easily. The
winner is trained by Brewty at Newmarket, and was ridden
on the present occasion by the distinguished light weight,
Johnny Daley, who, singularly enough, rode the victor
Elcho for this race last year. Boabdil is the property of
Mr. Wybrow Robertson, who races in the name of " Mr.
Elphiostone," a young gentleman who is returning to India,
and whose nod is now advertised to he sold by auction for
that reason. Boabdil, however, has been a very lucky
bargain, as the horse was claimed when • two-lear-old by
Mr. Robertson for 100/. of Mr. Fleming after running in a
race at Newmarket. Nearly all the bookmakers have made
a rich harvest, many of them haying performed that sa;is-
factory known as "skinning the lamb." Among
the heaviest winners in this class of speculators is Mr.
Russell, the Hyde-park Leviathan. "The gentlemen" are
of course heavy losers, and as for the " prophets " they
were floored to a man, DOD a single member of that knowing
fraternity having bestowed a thought upon the despised
outsider. Time will not permit us to enter further into the
running of the day, ample details of which will be found
below :

tempt the quartette were despatched simultaneously.
Q.B.D. and Gemse, however, quickly took a slight lead,
with Collaring third, and Watcbfire last—both being well
up. After proceeding a few hundred yards, Gems. took
a lead of balf-a-dosen lengths, Cellarius going on second,
Watchfire third, and Q.E.D. last. At the bottom of the
hill Guerin improved his poaition,Watrhfire, in the centre
of his cornpeUtors, to all appearance being beaten, but
Fordham, who rode perhaps his most magnificent race,
never left off &this horse ; and "settling" Collaring at the
middle of the stand enclosure, a tresueodous race ensued
with Q.E.D.—who within the distance came outside her
bores—Watchare running, however, wonderfully game,
won a splendid nee by a head. Three lengths separated
Cellaritui and Q.E.D., Gems finishing close up with
Coleus' Townley's horn.
A Hammer Pun of 100 son., for 3.yr-olds and up-
searda. Craven COMIC This handicap received eleven
entries, anti three of the competitors, namely. Mr. James

Vertumna, 3 yrs, Est 12113 (J. Covey), were weighed for,
and their respective numbers were hoisted upon the tole
graph board. Mary Stuart was not, however, forthcoming
at the hour the race was fixed, and Wombat being dis-
covered lame, the race was pronounce' void. The matter
was represented to the stewarda, and the customary fines
were not enforced.

lowered the distance between himself and the other two.
At the commencement of the enclosure, both the leaders
were in trouble, and at the Stand, Alvediston Came away,
and won easily by two lengths ; a fine race for second place
resulted in Llanaliff's defeat by • head.

25 to 1 apt Coronet, 40 to 1 each against Boabdil, Confec-
tioner, and Higheyer, and 50 to 1 apt Fits Eva. Prior
to the time (3.15) the sixteen runners were duly weighed
and despatched to the starter, and after waiting some time
the flag, announcing that the course was clear, was hoisted,
and the competitors took their canters in the following
order:—Coronet leading Watcbfire and Fits Eva. At

and Audrey. Then succeeded, at some distance
from the above named, Boabdil, Magnum Sonum, Dales-
man, Confectioner, Rapparee, Montebello, Lady Evelyn
colt. My Partner, St Bernard, Highfiyer, and Attune's.
After taking the usual preliminary gallop, Magnum Bottum
went some slight distance up the Trundle-hill, and showed
considerable temper, persistently refusing to join his horses
until driven up to them by • few of the spectators who
i waved their pocket handkerchiefs, and resorted to other
mans to frighten the restive animal to bis competitors.
Subsequently Mr. KV:horse promenaded the lot in Indian
file in the following order past the Grand Stand : Coronet,
Sir William, Atamau, Lady Evelyn colt, Fits-Eva, Watch-
fire, Montebello, St. Bernard, Dalesman, Confectioner,
klighflyer, My Partner, Boabdil, Magnum Bonum, Rap-
pane, and Audrey. They renamed the lawn and Grand
Stand close to the rails, giving the spectators an
admirable opportunity of closely inspecting their condition,
In the first attempt to get them off APunan led Monte-
bello, lady Evelyn colt, and Watchfire sane short distance
before they were stopped ; afterwards Rapparee, who was
extremely " fresh," broke away several times and ap-
pearedexceeeliogly anxious to commence " the fray,"

an hour after the appointed timer they're off" mounded,
and away they reed ; Magnum Bosuns jumped off first with
• Attaman alongside him, the pair being followed by My
Partner, Montebello, affectionate the Lady Evelyn colt,
and the rest close up in a ruck, aing beaded by itoabdil
and Sir Williams After proceeding a few hundred yards,
St. Bernard, who got badly away at the start, rushed
through his horses and took a place in the middle of the
nick, Confectioner falling amongst the rear division. Going
up the hill Magnum Bottum held the lead, followed closely
Ity Partner and Atlantan running side by aide, with
Montebello and the lady Evelyn colt next, clear of the rest.
Rounding the top turn Attaman went up to Megrim
Bosom, and the pair ran in close company for some dis-
tance. Montebello being well up, with MY Partner in close
attendance' heading the remainder, Confectioner being last.

the same time Attains.° was beaten; Boabdil thee went on,
and disposing of Sir William, woo easily by two lengths. A
head separated the esooodund third. Audrey was beaton
half a length from Wittchfire. Attaman was fifth, St. Her-
nerd sixth, Magnum Bottum seventh, Coronet eighth, Lady
Evelyn colt, Montebello, Confectioner, Rapparee, and Fits
Eva, all pulling up, being next. The last three were High-

THE TURNER CHALLENGE PRIZE CONTEST
AT WORMWOOD SCREWS.

Yesterday the grand contest between ten picked
men from the St. George's, Visteria's, end Queen's (West-
=Meter) Volunteer Ride Corps took place at the rifle range
at Wormwood Scrubte, for Mr. Turner's challenge prise,
and excited oonsiderable interest. This prize, value 100
guineas, was given by Mr. Turner, silversmith, of Bond-
street, an honorary member of the St. George's Corps, sod
a volunteer of 1804, to be shot for by the above corps, the
prize not to become the absolute property of any corps,
unless won three consecutive years. The prise we.
iaati-
tasted in 1860, when it was won by the St.. Georges, who
made 99 points, and the Victoria's 90. In the following
year the St. George'. made 89 points, and the Victoria's; but
as them was a dispute as to Sergeant Thornbury's rifle
(of the Victoria's), it was determined that the matter should
be settled by shooting it over again andlthe result was that the
St. George's made 113 points and Victoria's 93, so that
for the second time the St. George's became the wiener of
the prize. To render it absolutely their own, however, it
was neomeary that they should win it a third time before
the contest of yesterday. The beet men each corps could
prodhee were of course picked for the occasion—the St.
s's having amongst them Mr. Memory, winner of the
St. e's bronze medal at Wimbledon ' • the Queen's,
Westminster, Mr. Leal, a prizeman also at Wimbledon ;
and Victoria's, Sergt. Pixley, the winner of the Queen'sprize
and tbe gold medal of the National Rifle Association in the
present year. The St. George's were not, allowed to have
any undue advantage, for they bad to fire at estrange range,
sad two of their beet men WOO absent. The butts were
deo closed for a fortnight previous to the match, in conse-
quence of haymaking, and the betting was 6 to 1 on the
Victoria's. There were to be five shots each man, at the
ranges of 500, 600, and 700 yards, and the whole
manta were under the superintendence of LieutenaniutTrg.
nal Kennedy, on of the council of the National Rifle Amer
ciation. The contest began soon after 10 o'clock in the more
ing, and the final score shows the following results:

Colonel kiTuiiii47 at the coeclusion of the shooting,
addressed the competitor', and said, according to the rules
laid down by Mr. Turner himself the St. Oeorge's maps
now became the absolute possessors of the prim, and if be
was allowed be would make a suggestion that the three
corps should unite to make a clialleoge prize, which should
be the subject of an annual contest between them.
