GOODWOOD RACM.—THVEADAY.
The Cup day Is always regarded as the moat interesting of the
Goodwood week, inasmuch as that occasion is invariably patro-
nised by a very large and exceptionally brilliant company. We
have already mentioned the fact of the meeting being inaugu-
rated by moat disagreeable weather, and it remains for us to
state that the morning of Thursday wan equally unpropitious,
continuous rain falling till het-past 18, when the weather im-
proved, but the afternoon remained cloudy until Mat before
the race for the Cup, when the son shone forth, and the
remainder of the day was very &rant and enjoyable.
Their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princes of Wales, Duke
of Edinburgh, Duke of Cambridge, and Prince Edward of Sase
Weimer arrived just as the sport commenced, and the company,
both on the Stand and lawn, was very numerous, the display of
feminine beauty surpassing either of the previews days, notwith-
standing the miserable aspect of the morning. The Cup was de-
prived of a goad deal of the Interest =milk attached to such a
valuable prize by the withdrawal of Gladiateur and Regalia last
week, and the field was further reduced by the scratching of
Windham on Tuesday, Cambtuican on Wednesday and Janitor
at 12.10 yesterday (Thursday). During the morning a canard
was afloat respecting The Duke, who, it was rumoured, would
not start, and just before the sport commenced as mock as lento
8 was offered against him, odds off to 4 being laid on Tournialin.
Rut while many were anticipating the announcement of the
withdrawal of the horse, the follower of the Danbury stable
backed their champion so freely that he soon became as good a
favorrite as Tounnalin, and eventually superseded her in the
quotations. The racing commenced at 1 o'clock with the Zet-
land Stake., which resulted in a match between Wild Briar and
Beelzebub, and with odds of 2 to 1 on her the filly won after a
gaol race by a head. The Sweepstakes of 200 son. each, for
24.•-old fillies, brought out flee of the ids nominated, and the
Wl>, by Parmesan out of Harlequin's dam was so freely backed
that odds of 2 to 1 were laid on her before the flag fell,
and she won very easily by a length and a half. The
Molecomh Stakes, with nine runners, was considered at the
mercy of Bismarck, by his running on Wednesday in the Findon
Stakes, wherein he was beaten a head only by Pripoluder, but
finished in front of Markarian: and as he was meeting Mr.
Merry's colt on precisely the same relative term', it certainly
looked good enowb to lay odds of 6 to 4 on him, at which price
the betting opened , but the bookmakers eventually accepted
to 4. The restot of the race, so utterly at variance with the run-
ding of Marksman on the previous day, created the greatest
astonishment, but his owner was not so surprised, as he had in-
sisted on the previous daythat Marksman was not running within
pounds of his correct form. The Cup was the nest race, and five
of the seven animals on the card went to the post the absentees
being, No. 2 (Broomelaw) and No. 6 (Janitor), who, es already
Sated, was struck out. On the hoistingof the numbers, the Duke
became a tremendous favourite at even money while Tourmalin
receded to 2 to 1. Monkey was also backed by his noble owner and
friends at 6 to 1, but Archimedes and Watchman were supported
to- only small amounts. The Duke and Tourmalin were nun Arty
scanned by their backers, and their canters were watched with
anxiety, but neither in condition nor going could a fault
be found. The race Is so tally detailed in the ap-
pended return of the running that any lengthened comments
are unnecesrary. The pace was very slow for a mile and a half,
which must have suited the old hones tad the race for the last
half mile resolved itself into a match between the Duke and
Tourms From the distance a clots contest appeared immi-
ne it, but the fine speed of the Duke in the last hundred yards
• nabled him to cut down his opponent, and amidst tremendous
cheers from his bathos, he pe,'ed the port a length in advance
of the Baron's filly. The remainder of the racing was Interest-
ing, but It
does not require any mention hers. The fol'owlag is
a return of the running.

After taking their preUminary canters the competitors paraded
in front of the Stand before being conducted to the starting
post. At the first attempt Mr. McGeorge succeeded in despatch-
ing them on very even terms, but after going a few strides Tour-
malin showed in front ; before reaching the Stand, however, the
was pulled back, and Watchman took up the naming at •
miserable pace, followed by Tourmalin and The Duke, Moulsey
on the left being slightly in the rear of the Marquis of
Hastings's horse. With the exception of Archimedes dropping
farther in the rear as they amended the hill round
the clump, little variation occurred until within a mile of
Lome, where Lord Stamford's hone swerved completely
round, and could not be induced to go further. Watchman was
bore passed by Tourmallu, who In a few strides farther also gave
way to the Duke and Moulsey. As they came into the straight
Tourmalin had a clear lead, but the Duke gradually closed with
her as they approached the distance, and answering gamely to
Fordham's resolute call, be assumed the lead a hundred yards
from home, and won cleverly by a length, Moiling Jest cantered
past the poet, and was pieced third, and Watchman, who was
pulled op at the distance, walked in. Time, according to lien-
son's chronograph, 4 min. 27 sec.
