GOODWOOD RA:InS-11TEDxrst,AT.

The c:lorier.s weather and the attraction of "the Stakes"
brought together a large and distinguished concourse to-
day. To give a list of the company would be to include
nearly all those members of the aristocracy who have fled
from the metropolis to seek in cool sea breezes and the
agremens of country houses, the rest so much needed after
the fatigues of the London season. We observed his Royal
Highness the Duke of Cambridge, the Duke of Beaufort,
the Duke and Duchess of Montrose, the Earl and Countess
of Winchelsea, the Earl and Countess of Stamford, Earl
and Countess Spencer, the Earl and Countess of Lincoln,
the Earl of Derby, the Earl of Coventry, the Earl of Zet-
land, &c., while many of the "faithful Commons," released
from senatorial cares, were more agreeably occupied in
speculating on the different chances of Buckstone and the
French mare, and whether Anfield really was the certainty
his party asserted.

The Stakes have been shorn of much of their interest of
late years from causes which it is not necessary here to

enter upon.
The general opinion that this year's entry was of an in-
different quality was borne out by the fact of no one animal
being prominently in the batting until Anfield came with a
rush, on the strength of a very favourable trial with
Stanton. Messrs. Payne and Greville are gentlemen who
do not often make mistakes, and the public endorsed their
judgment by elevating their hJrse to the Premiership. This
post he continued to hold through good and evil report,
though Bellman trod close on his heels. The Wasp gelding
was held in high estimation by his stable, and Balham had
his friends. The result was a blow to the gentlemen, the win-
ner turning up in an extreme outsider, Blackdown, a colt
who had been tried very high with Bally Edmond, but the
secret had been so well preserved that up to the last moment
his friends were able to obtain a remunerative price about
him.* Bellman and Zapateado, as will be gathered from
the account of the race given elsewhere, broke down, The
Findon brought 12 young ones to the post, and an interest-
ing contest resulted in the victory of Paris, who had been
satisfactorily tried with the Clown. Linda represented Mr.
Naylor's stable, and was in immense demand, but she could
never quite reach Paris, whose victory was the more surpris-
ing as on his last appearance in public he ran a very mode-
rate animal. Tomato was reported a little off, which will
account for the figure she cut in the race, Macaroni's ap-
pearance in the Drawing-room Stakes was of course an
event, The winner of the Derby looked and went splen-
didly and had the race in band, despite his penalty, from
the first, winning easily by two lengths. The following are
the full details of the racing, which commenced with

Zora on the extreme right, in company with Despair,
were the first to show in advance, having Liston and the
favourite on the left, Melandra and Weatherglass lying off
several lengths. They ran in these positions to the bottom
of the hill, where Despair was headed by Liston, who waited
upon Mr. Bryan's mare to the enclosure, where she was
beaten, leaving Liston to canter in the winner by a length
and a half. Despair, who headed Zora in. the last few
strides, finished second by half a length. The others were
beaten off some distance.

nette and Loiterer, 100 to 3 agst Zapateado and Magnum
Bonum, 40 to 1 agst Barchettina, and 100 to 1 agst the
Maid of Masham filly.
On settling into their places Jack o' Hearts, evidently for
the purpose of serving his stable companion, immediately
rushed to the front and made play at a strong pace, followed
by Loiterer, the favourite, Blackdown, and Zapateado in a
body ; then came, at an interval of a couple of lengths, Bar-
chettina, Balham, and Blondin, nearly abreast, the rear
being brought up by Bellmaa and the Maid of Masham filly,
With little alteration they proceeded to the turn out of
the course, rounding which Zapateado ran into the second
place, Magnum Bonum going on third, with Blackdown,
Blondin, and Barchettina inclose attendance. As they pro-
ceeded along the skirt of the hill to the far turn, Lord Zet-
land's colt gave way to Magnum Bonum, who, with Bar-
chettina and Blondin at his girths, was observed, on reap-
pearing in sight, several lengths in advance of Balham and
Anfield, who headed the others, Lord Glasgow's and Bell-
man retaining their rearward position, and half-way up the
hill were joined by Zapateado, Loiterer, and Barchettina.
Jack of Hearts maintained his advantage round the turn
into the straight, closely attended by Magnum Bonum,
Blackdown, Anfield, Balham, and Blondin, to which lot
the race was evidently confined, and who came on in com-
pany into the bottom, where Jack o' Hearts, having per-
formed his required task, gave way, followed in a few
strides further by Balham and Blondin. Blackdown then
immediately went to the front and came on with a clear
lead on the far side, waited upon by Jack of Hearts, Mag-
num Bonum, Anfield. and Blondin. At the enclosure An-
field came with a rush and joined the leaders, but, after
running a few strides in company, Morgan called upon
Blackdown, who pulled in advance and won very cleverly
by three parts of a length. .'.ack o' Hearts finished a bad
third, as far in advance of Magnum Bonum,who was placed
fourth; Blondin was fifth, Balham sixth, Loiterer seventh,
and Barchettina next, beaten off a long way; then came at
wide intervals Wasp gelding, the Maid of Masham filly,
Zapateado, and Bellman, the two latter having broken
down badly ; the positive last being Canzonette, who trotted
in a long way in their rear.

Polonaise, in company with her stable companion Linda,
Paris, and Tomato, made the renn ng at a good pace to
the enclosure, where the former was disposed of, leaving
the issue with the two, Paris having a slight advantage,
which he held to the end, and won a fine race by a length;
Polonaise was beaten by three lengths -for second, the
Phemy filly was fourth, and Tomato next; the others were
pulling up as they ran past the post.
