THE FIELDS FOR, TO-NIORROW'S RACES AT
GOODWOOD.

TO THE EDITOR OF TIME SUN.
Sett,—lly extremely outside choice, Montegue,
very nearly accomplishing the winning feat yesterday in
the race for the stakes; had he done so, the fielders would
have had a strong turn of fortune, for, except by the
immediate friends of the stable, he was scarcely backed
for a shilling until —my prognostication appe:,red last
week, when that particular class of individuals, who take
me as their guiding star, made their investments at
various prices, averaging from 50 to 25 to 1; many of
them to my knowledge, however, considering, like the
rest of the sporting world, that his chance was a very
hopeless one; the running yesterday all but pulled my
judgment off triumphantly,
he having finished a mode-
rate second to Weather age. Haricot, my fancy for the
third place, running into that position, but beaten two
lengths from Montague; Cariboo was a bad fourth, and
Don Pedro a wretched fifth. The remaining sixteen
were scattered all over the field. The great " pots,"
Surprise, Bushranger, end Musician, were disposed of
early. The race absunded in casualties, Sackbut having
fallen, by which young Garvey's arm was broken, and
the Wizard of the North's couple, Champion and Back-
biter, brought their racing expectations to a period by
breaking down.
The Drawing-Room Stakes resulted in the complete
defeat of Filius, who got into inextricable difficulties
within the distance, and finished third to Sackbut and
Ilex; Lady Harriet, Red Hind, Houlakin and Hugo
composed the rear, proving that distance is not the forte
of any of this lot.
The Stewards' Cup caused a large field to muster at the
post, numbering no less than thirty-fivo; the result was
somewhat unexpected, Kilmeney and Evadne occupying
the first and second places—about either of whom 10 to
1 could have been obtained, while Billy Bar, the favou-
rite, was priced at sto 2, and was lost in the quadru-
pedal crowd.
The races for the other stakes not being of a par-
ticularly interesting nature, I shall not comment upon,
With the exception of the 300 Sovs. Sweepstakes for
fillies, where a great deficiency of common sense was
shown by not starting the Lady Harriet against Hir-
Rita, instead of running her for the Drawing-Room
Stakes, as she was sure of being defeated for the latter,
and almost certain of winning this.

The fields for to-morrow's races will, in all proba-
bility, be:rather large than otherwise, and thus fit-
tingly wind up the best meeting that we have had for
some ycars. _

The Nassau Stakes—Red Hind, Hirsute, and Toga
filly. Flirt, as I stated before, it is reported will not run.
Chesterfield Cup—Officious, Croupier, Herbert, Mon-
tague, Ringleader or Le Juif, Hothorpe or Sackbut,
Fauxpas or Greengage, Tonic, Sir Robert, Dulcet.
Evadue, Benita, Knight of the Shire, Old Rowley, and
not improbably three or four more. The race will pro-
bably terminate in favour of MONTAGUE, FAUXPAS, or
KNIGHT OF THE SHIRE, Evadne being well up.
The Nursery Cup—Pelion, filly by Touchstone out
of Kitty Coleraine, Exact, Auld Acquaintance, Las-
celles, Charming Woman, King David, Hobbyhorse,
Phrygia, Peach, Torment, Golden Plover, one of Tom
Taylor's colts, Veteran, Cuckoo filly, Jack the Giant
Killer, Pearl, and Psaltery. Many other horses en-
gaged in this stake are in the neighbourhood, and some
of them may be brought forward as runners, but my
accounts give me the above lot only as the probable
field. I can discover nothing that the distance will suit
better than PHRYGIA. Should she be bowled over it
may possibly bo by Psaltery, Hobby Horse, or the
Cuckoo filly; the first named, however, the most likely.
100 Sovs. Stakes—Teddington in all probability will
walk over.—l am, Sir, &c.,

Cockcrow took the lead at starting, followed by Fol-
low-me-Lads, Bonita, Cornelius, and Surprise, a ruck of
horses next them, and in the rear Pitsford, Backbiter,
and the Brahmin. They travelled without any altera-
tion worth notice to the turn out of the straight running,
where Surprise joined Cockcrow, and immediately after
deprived him of the lead, which she held on reappearing
in sight, tho followers then being—Haricot, Bushranger,
Musician, and Weathergage ; Don Pedro, Montague,
Stamford, and two or throe others also lying up. In de-
scending the hill Surprise gave way, and Haricot went
on with the running, waited on by Weathergage, who
collared her at the commencement of the rails, quitted
her inside the distance, and won very easily by two
lengths, Montague, who took the second place near the
stand, beating llaricot as far; Cariboo was a bad fourth,
and Don Pedro fifth. Saekbut fell near the extreme
turn, Champion broke his leg shortly after, and Back-
bitnr broke down near the distance. The race was run
