IGENCE,

GOODWOOD RACES—WEDNESDAY.
The glorious 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 ffed
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 Couetsss 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 ono animal
being prominently in the betting 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 horse to the Premiership. This
post be 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 ivas 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 b 3 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 iu 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-
-1 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 hand, despite his penalty, from
the first, winning easily by two lengths. The following are
the full details of the racing, which commenced with
The Goodwood Derby of 25 soya each, 15 ft, for 3-yr-olds ;
colts 83t 101 b, and fillies Bst 71b. Maiden horses allowed
3ib. Giatwicke Stakes course, one mile and four fur-

:avourite to the stand, when he went up and won in a can-
er by a length.
