SPORTING INTELLIGENCE

GOOD WOOD RACES.—THURSDAY.
The Cup day has rarely seen a larger attendance than on
this occasion crowded the Stand, the ladies' lawn, the car-
riage ground, and every available space near the enclosure.
Of course, the presence of the Royal visitors had much to
do with this unusually large assembly, but, still more, the
brilliant weather ; and the facilities afforded by the railway
companies have made Goodwood more accessible than ever,
and there was something of an Ascot crowding in the ring
and on the Stand to-day.

Ely and Baragah met in the Bentinck Memorial, and an
interesting race was expected, Ely being the favourite at 2
to lon him. Baragah, however, won, with hands down,
in such hollow style as immediately to be backed for the
Leger at 20 to 1, His trainer had a high opinion of his
chance for the Derby, and his style of running to-day
certainly promises a still more exciting race for the great
Northern event than even had been anticipated.

The Cup gave us a better field than the Stakes, both in
quality and quantity. Stradella, Little Stag, Dollar, East
Lancashire, Lord Zetland, and the Ranger are names of
power, and promised us something like a race for the great
event of the day. After many fluctations in the betting
Little Stag left off first favourite, with Stradella and Lord
Zetland next on the poll, and nothing else backed for any
money.
This race, so often carried off by French stables, was
destined to fall to them this year, the outsider Dollar
winning by half a length from East Lancashire, the
Ranger, while going well, and running into third place,
breaking down.
The Cup is this year an equestrian statuette of William
the Conqueror, and is manufactured by Messrs. Garrard.

After the horses had been duly paraded before the stand,
Mr M'George walked them to the poet; and immediately
despatched them upon their journey. The first to show in
advance was Esperance, who rushed to the front and made
the running for her stable companion, closely followed by
Ranger, Stradella, Queen Bertha, East Lancashire, Little
Stag, Glendusk, Hollyfox, and Lord Zetland in the order
we have given them ; but as they passed the end of the en•
closure Stradella and Ranger were pulled back and became
the last two. As they approached the bend Esperance in-
creased her lead to upwards of a dozen lengths, Dollar with
Queen Bertha at his girths following next, close in whose
wake came East Lancashire, Little Stag, Lord Zetland,
Glendusk, and Hollyfox, in which order they proceeded
down the hill, On sounding the clump Esperance gradually
came back to her horses, who joined her as they reappeared
in sight, the lot running in a body to the mile post, where
she disappeared from the front, the lead being at the same
time taken by Dollar, Little Stag going on second, with
Glendusk, East Lancashire, Ranger, Lord Zetland, and
Stradella following in a body. Rounding the turn for home
Dollar improved his lead, and as they reached the bottom be
appeared to be a couple of lengths in advance of Lord St
Vincent's colt, close in whose rear were Ranger, East Lan-
cashire, Lord Zetland, and Stradella, who ran together to
the distance, where the latter was beaten, followed in a few
strides further by Lord Zetland. Hollyfox at the same time
drew forward and joined the leaders, who ran together to
the stand, where the Little Stag was added to the beaten
division, leaving East Lancashire in attendance upon
Dollar, who held his own to the end, and won very easily
by half a length. Ranger, who broke down badly, finished
a bad third, Hollyfox fourth, Little Stag fifth, Lord Zet-
land sixth. Then came Stradella, Glendusk, Queen Bertha,
and Esperance.
