THE GOODWOOD MEETING.
TO TEI EDTTOII OT TEN ZIPII2BI.

SlS,—The racing season may now be pronounod
at its zenith, and we shall have some good old-fashioned mem.
tests during the wenn week, the four der' meeting at
Goodwood being undoubtedly the moat exciting of the year,
as it does not depend on one or two items for its moors,
there being one continual round of excitement from Tuesday
to Friday, each day having its peculiar [satanic The pro-
gramme embraces thirty-five items, including the three'

Wednesday to Tuesday, so that we have to get through nineItems on the first day, the same number on the second, ten

the third, and wen on the fourth day. Only eight of
thus are at present unclosed, them being sure to obtain good
support ; and Mr. Hibbard never before commenced a Good-
wood meeting with a better prospect of success.
The Levant Slakes, for 2-yr olds, half a tulle, does not
more than a quartet of competitors, for Caucasian
''scratched), Mutineer, the Bay Celia colt, and Taro, do not
leave their comfortable quarters, and Table Hay being only a
" plater," Merryman, with his 61b penalty, Is only likely to
meet the Lord of the Manor (diagnoefully beaten for the
New Stakes at Amot), the American bred Woodburn, and,
perhaps, Ariadne, who was beaten too cleverly at Stock-
brides by an animal thought but little of by his own party
for Merryman to look in' danger from her, although she
might fight snocesaftilly for the sexed money
The Y/0 Sou. Fonilear Old Sweepstakes (about three
miles and tire furlong.) has tempted Mr. Bowes to send
the broken•down Colonies to Goodwood, but only to claim
his share of the infidel, &opposing Lord of the Hills is unfit
to gallop over the ffiatance for them ; but he is likely to be
disappointed, and did the Blue Devila colt go to the post he
d have a difficulty in competing with his lordship.
he Grate/inks Stakes, for 9-yr olds (one Mils and a half),
will fall an easy prey to Tomphilite, and the only "ran
we can expert is that fur the second money, Mentmare not
being so certehi of it with the Maid of Kent ea one of his
oltento.
Ham Stakes, for 2-yr olds, T.Y.C. (six furlongs),
has 19 subs., sad they may eventually be found a moderate
lot, Lord Exeter and Mr. Bowes being the only gentlemen
who loot capable of sending an opponent at all likely to put
Mayonahe's chance in jeopardy, and the former may not
make the attempt.
The Stewards' Cup, six furlong, will attract the
field of the week, and it being inthomible to fairly a=
the weights, I moat content myself with pointing to Peter
Flat, 6 yrs, Set filb, Lord Clifden's two, sad Babylon 4 yrs,
get 41b, u pretty "well ht," and me of them ought to at
least see the winner pees thew*.
The match between Mr. Ten Breach's Orland' and Mr.
Payne's klituosa, at 61b for the year, one mile, is Wady to be
a near thing, looking at the talent their owners invariably
display when pitting their horses against others, and the
ooveityof the presentedeir is that a few weeks back the Ameri-
can owned Mimosa, and Mr. Payne Oriands. I doubt whether
the latter Is partial to more than six furlongs, and Mimosa
ma jolt stall her aria the last hundred yards.
The Craven Handicap and two claiming sweepstakes will
make up the first day's sport.
Oa Wednesday we have the Drawing Room Stakes for
three-year-olds, one mile and a quieter for which the field
will have to be made up from King Star of the Kea,
Telegram, Lord of 1.4111, Knight of Kan, and Bravlisinio.
Telegram hes a 61b penalty, and although he is short of
preparation, be may eery it home before the Lord of Loth.
The 300 sou. Three-Year-Old Sweepstakes, for fillies, one
mile end a quarter, looks reduced to a match between Target
and Queenstown, the non-appearance of Allspice at Stamford
being an intimation that she is not at all dangerous. Target
beat Queenstown last autumn, end the latter having appa-
rently lost all form, she may do so again.
In the Goodwood Derby Seam, for three-year-olde, one
mils and a half, the name of Telegram is again to be found,
this time without a penalty, sod unless Happy Laod
has returned to his spring form, he does not appear to have
much to fear.

—The-300-Bove. Three-year-old Sweepstakes, for cella one
mile and a quarter, is between Clydesdale and Lord of Loon,
and the fermis being " all to pieces,•• we cannot but suppose
be Yawned to defeat.

11esIloodwooelia(11., two miles and a half, will have but
a small field, which gets "beautiful)y lees" the nearer we
approach the day. Special Llamas, Fright, RI Hokin, Lord
of the Ulla (doubtful), Gamma di V (doubtful), one of
the French lot, Fulbeck, The Brewer, Roman Candle, Lao-
damia, lifeboat, Pensioner, Carious (doubtful), Scribbler,
Orchehill (doubtful), Compromise, Rosati (doubtful), Night
Ranger, Poitustons, and Esperanos, are all I can select to
make up the field, and moot of these are held safe, indirectly
or directly, by the favourite. At Liverpool he beat
Special Liman while meeting him on 3lb better
terms than he does here, and he motives so
much weight from the other four-year-olds that it is
almost useless to discuss the question whether they can ever
gallop with him. Fulbeck's party were sanguine when they
drat saw the weights; but they have almost given up the
idea of his winning, end set to backing him to get linty
second, or third, so that he will be still galloping while his
rrts are pulling up, and thus run into a 'situation."
btecat must bee great horse to be able to snuff the Candle,
who is meeting him with 16lb the beet of veciaew:iriglZ
and the same remark applies to Scribbler and P
also to Compromise, who must be very close to the latter.
Rosati has been driven out of the market in precisely the
same manner as last year, and the sue with which she goes
amiss at the last moment for all her engagements, after being
a great favourite, is truly wonderful. This is suppoidng the
old excuse is made about her, and her party can hardly find
another, as it is impoesible(fl she can be a bad'un, when
such a clever school male her the favourite for
three great races in twelve months. The three-year-olds
with light weights are a wretched lot, and they will only
assist to swell the field, Night Ranger being the only one
that ever pretended to the title of a racehorse, and he wee
beaten a hundred yards by the favourite at Liverpool, while
meeting him on 21b better terms than now. The Roman
Candle, then, is so ter before his opponents that I cannot
even venture to place a second to him.
The Cowdrsy Stake' end two Handicap Plates will make
up the complement for the second day, which will afford,
perhaps, the worst days sport of the four, with the Stakes
such a lama arair.

The reinainds; of the programme I shall not discus at
length ae yet, contenting myself with pointing to Fisher-
man, Gunboat, the Anterimas, Arsenal, Brother to Homily
(the Blue Devils colt), and Vistas Bt. Otis as the only likely
runners for the Cup ; at the primal writing, Arsenal being
the one my faith most be pined to. MITHOH.
