Sts,—The racing world undoubtedly had things
ell it. owe way at Goodwood, for the weather was super-
excellent, the sport good, and the investments of the ma-
jority turned out profitable, despite the turns up afforded
by two of the great races. So many favourites were
scarcely ever known to win in one walk before, and beyond
than of the Goodwood Stakes and Chesterneld Cup, not
one winner was missed by the &dean, the tint or aecoud
" fiddles" winning in every other case except that of Brick
for the Levant. How the public purse was " milked" by
thellairi of several "pots" iu the G4selwood Stakes ; how The
Wizard disgraced human in the Cup; and how the cleverest
men of the Day Were unable to quite bring off either of
their great coup; on Friday with the Gleuochty colt and
Bush, after sickening the public with the Rather High
oolt, Dalesman, Canary, he., have been themes of con-
versation ever since the meeting broke up ; but 1 have only
to remark that Daemon muse be looked after in short
mess, and people be very careful how they interfere with
The Wizard le future, for he is a most fastidious gentleman,
and seems deadly opposed to the public interest. Tim
Whiffler literally run away with the Cup, as did fluabdil the
Stakes • the three meat short races, however, being well
contested. I may take the liberty of referring to the gene-
ral success of my efforts to put your readers in the right
vein during the four dam, as Taje in the Levant Stakes,
Watchtire in the Goodwood Stakes, Armagnac in the Mole-
comb, and Bosh in the Chesterfield, very nearly pulled their
beckon clean through; and forsuch *pair as Boabdiland Plau-
sible to overthrow me is no disgrace, when even their
owners and trainers were unaware of the " good thine"
they. bad. Bet there is something to plume myself upon in
having selected the first three (and one an extreme outsider)
for • sonnible like the Stewards Cup out of an entry of 77;
and the Miss Sarah filly in the Gratwicke Stakes,
Cschouca in the Ham ; Watchfire in the Drawing Room ;
Alvealatoe, in the Derby ;Camerioo is the Tenth Memorial ;
Imperatrice. in the 50 son. Sweepstakes; Bertha in the
Nassau, with Brick is the Nursery, all assist in making me
tip • heavy list of victories. To enter into the details of
the sport would occupy too much of your space, and the
proceeding is hardly as not the faintest light was
thrown on the St. Leger, wile the only promising Derby
bones that performed during the week comprised AUiOllll.
tea, Praia/is Stampede, and Atecan, neither of these
having been tit enough to be fairly judged. The Brighton
sad Lewes Meetings have now been arianged so as to facili-
tate the settling of the heavy Goodwood accounts, and as
they race at Newmarket up to Saturday after-
noon during the Houghton week, there is nothing to com-
plain of is the Susan tour extending over Satur-
day next, the DOW arrangement being pretty certain to
benefit the Lewes meeting, as Mr. Verrall'a excellent pro-
gramme scarcely had fair play before.
At Brightest we are promised seven contests on Tuesday,
the same number on Nt adoesday, and nine on the Clubday ;
but not one half of them are as yet complete, and the ten
already before me will not take much analysing. The
Brighton Handicap, cue mile and three-quarters, may be
reduced to an issue between Sir William, 5 yet, Sit 21b,
Watchfire, 3 yea tie 1211 s, Shepherds', and Myrtle, 4 yrs,
7st 51b each ; and there is no question about the two four-
year-olds laving • long pull of the weights, if they are fit
for anything. Myrtle ran respectably in the Chesterfield
Cup, and Shepherdess over a mile and a hull did sufficient
to ensure her winning this, it being on the card for one
of the lair to win if sent to the post, although
Sir William and Watchfire mar carry all the money.
The Nursery Handicap, three-quarters of a mile, has
Rubiui sod Vaulter "well in ; but there is also a question
with their parties what tactics shall be pursued—waiting or
otherwise—and it being just possible this will not prove
good enough for either of the horses named, Mr. Ontwicke's
pretty filly by Newminster, out of Squaw, that is turned
loose at list 71b. may prove a more reliable ally. The Teeth
Biennial, for 3-year-olds, one mile, will not quite suit
Bertha, who is not partial to the hill, especially with a 91b
penalty, this latter Malachi being not unlikely to cause
Wingrave's overthrow, as Michel Grove only series the
original Fat 71h, and Spencer, in the Chesterfield Cup,
made him appear a pretty good hone. The Marine Plate,
three-quarters of • mile, is on a heavy scale, and Heckle),
5 yn, 7st 91b, ia turned loose under the circumstances,
his chance being one of the best in the rase, unless Mr,
Payne can find a better representative. The Champagne
Stakes, for 3-yeer-olds, one mile, Lord Stamford
should win with Blackoock or Duke Rollo, for the former
has 4lb the best of the weights with both Atherstone and
the Knave, and meths Orunerino nor Fairwater looked
likely to appear again for some time after their races at
Goodwood. The Cup, two miles, will not tempt many op-
poeenta to Tim Whiffler, despite his 7lb penalty, the Roe
and Paste being about the beet of the others likely to be
found at the post. The Eleventh Biennial, for 2-year-
olds, three-quarters of a mile, 1 'sign to Merry Hart;
and the 2.year-old Club Biennial, oar the same course,
looks made for Armagnac, if it is safe to follow Automa-
tou's second performance at Goodwood, as the Freochmaa
gave him slb and a beating, and Lord Stamford's horse
scarcely troubled Cachous, with 31b the wont of the
weights, so that the latter cannot endanger Armagnac's

r The Lewin bill of fare is not bait complete yet, and Tan
deal with but three items in it, the chief of these being the
Priory Stakes for 2-yr-olds, about five furlongs, wherein
Blue Mantle and Amazonian are the test of the public
horses, and Promises, the most talked about of the dark
lot, the Ascot hero being the beet to stand on, considering
how he likes the bill. Montebello will he very handy for
the second Courtenay Biennial, and in the County Cop
Alvedistou reset do his best to compete with Lord Burleigh,
who is in receipt of 7 lb.—l am, &e., METEOR.
