foes days at Goodwood, hod nothing to complain of u re-
peal the wort they witnessed, Although the gentlemen
taut have been heavy losers on the balance, all calculation
having boss upset in seven] inthinc,s. After the Good-
wood rnumag, it was hardly to be expected that Fravola
would beat Yles Julia, or Defender so easily overcome
Oster, as at 141101 ; bet the Latter fir the first time began
to show the effects of his many encounters during the past
two months, and at Briaton he was nowhere"

lie favourite dietance. The Lewes and Epsom
Moldier had a pretty fair share of the good things, Brown's
team winning font out of the fourteen prises at the borne
meeting, while Dewitt's party had a turn which they fully
daerxe, after their long run of ill luck, winning thrice at
Lewes and twice at Brighton, Blue Jacket carrying off the
great event at loth places, thanks to the talented Font.

is affected being the fiber Handicap, where Defender ep.
peered " well in," until his Lewes pponent received his
ao loud dressing ; hut now he hasnothing to boast of in
beating Crater when all the tire was out of bim, and
backers must be careful not to be led away on such a shal-
low pretence.

other event. have been particularly fortunate. For the
great lambi-op, two Defender is now the top weight,
owing to the 71h penalty inxiirreil at Abingdon ; and
yet the lot opposed to him are so ....lerste that he is sure
to be handy. Fitr•.tvon, 3 or., 7,t 101 b, ma an though lie

severed ,with, so that Defender, having proved himself
&out the same animal a. Galant at .lliingilon, ought to
take all the crow* out of Mooreock at 171 h. The Brewer,
aged, 7st 41h, is thrown in, but ran very stale on his last
eppearanee in public ; and if Deft rider is to he overthrow,
Ram only be by the aid of Wildman, who must show in his
hest form to win. For the Patella Haudicap, one mile,

The Holyoake Handicap, one mile and a half, should attract

thing too much to carry, anther has Zitella, 4 yrs, 7st 416,
nor t Owe, 4 yrs, 74 41b, and Zitella may do me good ser-
vice if they put the mosey on. Tile Nursery Handicap, for
2ier-olds, half a mile, has a moderate hit entered, and Lava,
Nat, or Maid of Honour, 74 61b, may win in such company,
both being eery fast for a certain distance. The Cleveland

the 3-yr old, Rising Sae, must carry Bst Ilb if among
the starters. Twilight has; all the beat of the weights ;
and frees the style in which she did the mile at Brighton,
the looks quite apahle of travelling the extra quarter here.
In the First Stamford Biennial, for three.year chin, one

Lopellus is recovering form a little, and Horror is no
nom, although not quite fit ; still Mr. Meny's hone has so
ratio Lally improved that he shall not hod ILO against him
without good cause for the next three months. The Clad-
l*tos Stakes are for two-year old., in the half mile, and
lady Orfila appears the most lik. v recipient, elthoulh
Lupus, with 7th the best of the weights, shoe'd trouble her
a little. Toe other events are not worthy of notice.
INi of the fourteen events to le got through et treading,
there are only half-admen complete, au acceptance having
14, be declared for the Raja Meadow stakes; these, hoe.
ever, are well tilled, the Berkshire Handiap beating an
neeeptanos of twenty-two, and the prize (about NM guineas)
is our* to attract a good Geld. The only heavy weight in

stead Park Stoke*, one mile, Ripon, 3 yr., should easily
dispose of nil except Amsterdam, 3 yrs. who must not be
held too cheap while giving but two stone for the two

Abbey Stake., for two year olds, sin furlongs, the latter
beingg fully copilile of travelling the distance. Then are

Reading Stakes, for two year olds, half a mile, is especially
suited to Brown Duchess, who ought to ilefat the Little
