The shortcomings which marked the recent Goodwood
meeting were merely fortuitous ; they neither affected the
emcees of the sport nor the popularity of the meeting, but
perhaps they appeared somewhat the more striking Noun
they were unexpected. The principal falling off wee in the
numerical strength of the gelds, but this obeemostanee wee
not attributable to a diminished popularity of any of the
stakes, to which the number of subecribers wu rtisfactorily
large, but to a lack of horses, many animals having
angagenseats at the meeting being waned to their stables by
and others having bona completely worn out. The
hackers of horses and the bookmakers bad en equal share
of fortune, but octal the Friday the " fielders ' bond the
balance of their account on the wrong side of their books.
Of the 31 races which have run off, the first favourite was
defeated 16 thou. On the Friday the layers had a rare two
of lock, which compensated them for the Wows of the
betting on the Brakes, and their "Boman Candle" losers. That
the meeting was " harmless" was proved this afternoon by
the promptitude with which accounts were closed. Mr. J.

Chestetileld Cup with Sunbeam—wine about 20,0001., whilst

-Weedaywas the only day on which the weather interbred
to mar the fell enjoymest of the sport ; still the rain did not
come down till after the greet event—the Stewards' Cup—
ma decided. The opening event does not cell for remark,
but the results of the next two might have been different, for
it was Mimosa's temper that lost her the match with Orland',
and Menttoore could hardly have beaten the Maid of sent
for the Gratwicke bad she not stumbled when apparently
getting clear of her opponent. The Levant showed us
that Merryman require, a seeps of ground (which is the
reverie of unfavourable to his chance of winning the
Derby of 1859), as he could not get up to Ariadna,
with her turn of speed till too late. Lord of the Manor has

their even again fetching one half the old prime en year-
lings. The Stewards' Cup, interesting as it was to the
looker-on, give. but little employment to the reviewer's pen,
beyond noticing the easy manner in which Glenmaegon sad
the French representative shook off their competitors at the
Stand, the former being fortunate enough to get through
without his old "leg" giving way. The Ham Stakes field
apparently possessed but one animal entitled to the
honour of being called • Byer, Mayonaim, cutting her

It will b. recollected, was fortunate enough to be the only
sound horse in the Newmarket St. Leger last autumn, when
Turbit and Skirmisher went amiss, and now he met the
animals who, although of a much superior class when sound,
had not a leg left to stand upon, and by making the best pace
be could—not a " clipper "—he broke them both dews before
reaching the mile poet

that It would be useless preparing hint for the
Great St. Leger. Another candidate for this great
pric• was settled in the Goodwood Derby, Happy
Lend giving Telegram such a decided beating that
he will have to mend conelderably before his party will
back him again. The Goodwood Stake* afforded a struggle
which will not soon be trgotten by the backers of
" certainties," for the Roman Candle lost much 'ground
through striking a post end stumbling. in descending the
hill for home, in addition to which he polled one of his plate,
nearly off in recovering himself, cutting his off fore leg
severely, that nothing but his eatmordinary gameness got
him up with his horses again ; and had not Pulbeak broken
down when called upon for his final effort, it is doubtful
whether the " good thing" would havecome off at *IL It is
but fair, however, to state that the Candle was over-
hauling him at a rapid rate when the accident hip-
pined, and it would be presumption ice anyone to
my positively whether the judge's decision would have
been damn% or not. Boleti, by downright perseverame,
got a fourth place; but the winner teat her a dozen lengths,
and Pensioner gave the place tip to her when the struggle
for victory was over. It is doubtful whether The Romeo
Candle will be fit to run fur the Ebor Handicap, his leg
requiring careful nursing, and the question as to what the
penalties amount to may not require to be sealed. Ms
argued that his weight is now 7st 41b, including • 141 b pie
ashy ; but bow stub an argument is to be sustained I cannot
conceive, as the condition* distinctly state that the winner of
one 100 soy. handicap shall carry Sib, of two 91b, and of
three 141 b, no horse to carry nave than the latter penalty,
while the winner of the Goodwood Stakes incurs 101 b
extra. If be has to carry more than the War ft
should be 1611; but as no horse is to carry more than 141 b
penalty, his Sib penalty for winning at Liverpool would be
only bergamot to gib by his whining two soak events, bat

most carry 10lb extra, whether he wine soother event or

Rieder won the Cup last year, Jutted of losing,
it to Maustone by a head. Arsenal ran badly, Sedbury,
who was started to make running for him, making the fOOO
too good, but the greatest impostor was the American
Charleston, who ran is bandages, and never got within a
hundred yards of his horses till -they were palling up, Laden
after rounding the last turn. The Memorial for 3-yr-olde
was most important to the St. Lager, Longrange, however,
running so badly that there mart have been something sadly
amiss with him, and Beet Langton had such a difficulty in
making the dead heat with Fadladeen that he dose not look
half so threatening in at one tine. The manner in which
the latter succumbed to him for the second heat is inexpli-

ought to be enough for him this side the St. Leger, and

be contented with the Champagne Stakes.
