VIE ACCIDENT AT GOODWOOD.

A Sunday cotempqrary gives the folawing interesting
account of the contretemps th,t occurred during the race
for the apcdwood Stakes on Wednesday last :

"Immediately the race was over the weighing-room was
besieged by those anxi )us to learn the names 'And fate of
the j Ickeys that had fallen, and foremost amongst the en-
quirers was the Duke of Richmond, who, ever ready to
render assistarce on such occasions, despatched his private
break and some other vehicles with medical aid to the suf-
ferers. In the meantime, a great many people bad hastened
to the spot, and every attention was shown to the poor
fellows, some of whom we regret to state have received
such frightful injuries that it is doubtful if they will be
able to ride again this year. The catastrophe, which
threw ,a gloom orer all, was caused by Chevy Chase, who
getting the bet‘or of her feather'—t hat curse of racing—
ran op the bank, and rolled over backwards into the middle
of the rock, upsetting Jolly Marine and Speed the Plough,
over whom fell Ilun,rerford, Comedy, Enchanter, Vandal,
and Landyfoot. 'The scene of confusion at the
moment, as described to us by eye-witnesses, was frightful
in the extreme, the seven horses and their maimed jockeys
lying on the grow-11 all of a heap.' Fortunately all the
liorees instan'ly jumped up and galloped away except Chevy
•Chase. whose fore lea was smashed as if by a hammer, all
the way down from the knee to the hoof. The poor beast
sat upon her haunches, moaning fearfully, but was soon put
ctrtt of her misery by being shot. Of the unfortunate jockeys

Steggies and Ashmall were the first to come to, and though
the latter was suffering from a broken collar-bone, he pro-
ceeded with Steggles to the assistance of the others. l'ar-
rholemew lay on his face, apparently dead, aed Salter partly
upon poor Ban's shoulder, in a state of insensibility ; bat
Ashmall and St eggles succeeded in turning them ever on
their backs, and then.went to little Ilearnden and Mundy,
the former of whom was lying under the bank, Mundy, in
addition to his cellar bone, having his thigh broken in two
places! Cresswell received severe centusions on his legs
and arm, but Hall eseeped with a shaking only, and both
speedily recovered. Upo-i the arrival of medical assistance
Bartholomew was placed in the break, Aibmall and Salter
in one fly, and itlnndy in another, and dispatched to the
Royal Sussex Infirmary at Chichester Hall returned to
the stand in a vehicle, and Creswell and Steggles on horse-
back, whilst lit'le Heernden, looking the picture of death,
was placed across Tom Taylor's lip, and conveyed on his
pony to the Stand, where he was instantly attended by Dr.
Greaterex and Dr. Maudsley of Hanover-square, who, after
applying restoratives, recommended his being sent to the
Infirmary at Chichester, whither he was subsequently re-
moved. Cresswell (though suffering a good deal), Hall,
and Steeglee,
were able, it will be seen, to ride in the
Steward's Cup an hour afterwards. The greatest anxiety
was felt and expressed on all sides for Bartholomew,
whose case, it was feared, might prove fatal, owing to
his not having spoken or moved up to the moment
of his removal. . Poor Munday, though suffering the
most excruciatiog agony, bore tip manfully under the cir-
cumstances, as did Ashmell, whose easuality was of less
impoleance. Much Sympathy was expressed on all sides for
the unfe.tnn ate suff-rers, and a delay of upwards of an hour
O was resumed. It was at first

with broken legs nr backs, but fortunately the.e fears
turned out unfounded, Chevy Chase alone meeting with
that fatality, though it is not unlikely that one or two of
them may have received sufficient injury to prevent their
re-appearance on the turf for some time to come. Barnn
Rethschild's two, we believe, ran loose after the others in
the race, hut Enchanter, Speed the Plough, Jolly Marine,
and Vandal
.jumped the post and rails at the side of the
course, and the three letter commeneed fighting in the wood
close by. Speed the Plough and Vandal got Jolly Marine
down, and attacked -him most furionsly, until a gipsy boy
with great courage and presence of mind seized the former
by the bridle and separated them, whereupon the old hors,
galloped off to a 'pond and indulged in a cold bath, in t`e
enjoyment of which he was captured. Vandal had a large
piece of flesh torn off his shoulder, and the Jolly Marine,
in addition to his bridle being bent and torn, received a
similar injury, besides a doe wound in the hip, which had
the appearance of being inflicted with a knife or some sharp
irstrament. Eleltenter, who is a very savage brute, fortu-
net, lv did not j in in Ihe melee, but tried his hand at
syeple.eha and wrs eventually secured at a smal
