SPORTING NOTES.

The programme for Good wood is as attractive as ever,
and, no doubt, if the weather continues good, will attract a
large and fashionable gathering. The programme of the
meeting, which commences on Tuesday, is of the same ex-
tent and variety as usual, thirty-two items being set for
decision in the four days, which, if numerous entries be
any criterion, ought to produce a series of most exciting
contests, though there are rat her fewer nominations to the
Stewards' and Chesterfield Cups than last year. For the
first day six of the nine items on the list are closed, and
these inc'ude the Lavant and Ham Stakes for two year olds,
the Gratwicke for three year olds, the Three Hundred Sovs
Sweepstakes for four year olds, and the Stewards' Cup for
three year olds and upwards. For the Lavant the follow-
ing have been already tried and found wanting :--Golden
Dust, Tornado, Tramper, Taje, Event, Duchess of King-
ston, Brick, and Loise Bonne; while Escape and Stock-
broker have performed only indifferently, leaving Soapstone
alone with a distinguished character. The latter, having
won 300 sovs, will have to carry a 3lb penalty, which must
militate against his chance if opposed by Ace of Hearts
(brother to Gaspard), the colt by Daniel O'Rourke
out of Odd Trick's dam, for whom Lord Stamford
gave 500 guineas at Sir Tatton Sykes's sale last year.
The nominations for the Stewards' Cup show a consider-
able decrease compared with last year, no fewer than seven-
teen. Nevertheless the, entry, considering the immense in-
crease of racing, is most satisfactory, and demonstrates that
the popularity of these short spins is by no means on the
decline.

It is no easy matter to select the winner out of seventy-
seven horses ; but if I retain Lady Clitden, Vancouver,
Ducat, and Ace of Clubs, I do not think I will be far out.
The Three Hundred Sovs Sweepstakes will be reduced to
a match between Imaus and the colt by West Australian
out of Clarissa, and I cannot doubt the success of the

•
former.
In the match between Merry Hart and Lady Fanny
though the former gives the filly 201 b, I prefer his chance.
For 'Wednesday there are only seven items on the list
but as these include the Goodwood Stakes and Derby, the
Findon and the Drawing-room Stakes, there will be no
lack of interesting contests. The " Stakes," though not
the oldest race in the list, being only established in
1825, has nevertheless been for many years regarded with
more interest than any other item of the day's sport, on ac-
count of the heavy wages ing which generally takes place
upon it. This year, however, it has been almost a dead letter
at the " Corner," and in racing circles generally, which may
in a great measure be attributed to the unfavourable criti-
cism to which the handicap has been subject at the hands
of unfriendly racing commentators, who even before there
was time to declare the acceptances proclaimed the race a
" gift" to either Mr. Ten Broeck or William Day, and who,
should either succeed in bearing off the prize, will doubtless
sound their own praise as loud as is their wont. The
number of acceptances rather astonished these hasty cavil-
lers, as there were fifty-three "contents" against thirty-
two " non-contents"—a result not very astonishing when
it is considered that Lord Portsmouth's handiwork was
three times revised by the authorities that be, and that
finally Admiral Rous gave the handicap his hearty approval,
The 63 acceptances comprise one aged horse, three six year
olds, eight five year olds, fifteen four year olds, and twenty-
six three year olds, being relatively much about the same
proportion as for the last three or four years; and that the
weights from the first have been very fairly apportioned is
proved by the fact that since the establishment of the race,
37 years ago, the three year olds have won 11 times, the
four year olds 14 times, and the horses above that age 12
times ; a very equal appOrtionment, and which shows how
little there is to choose between the various ages. Though
the acceptances are more numerous than at any time within
the last 11 years, the field will hardly reach a score, as al-
ready Cape Flyaway, Henham Lass, Optimist, Rather
High colt, Mistake, Bryn Gwyn, Beneven turn,
Fee, Umpire, and Drosera have been struck out ; and,
since the weights have been published, Coronet, Bal-
ham, Conundrum, Confectioner, FitzEva,Trapcage, Boab-
dil, Real Jam, Lapidist, Violet, Magnum Bonum, and
Avongrove have run and performed so badly there is little
probability of any of the party incurring the expenses of a
trip to Goodwood. The field must consequently be selected
rrom the following :

Age at lb , Age et lb
Rapparee ........ 4 9 2 Highflyer .. 4 6 8
Audrey
Dulcibella
Sir William - chehallion
Zodiac
Bevis

Montebello
West End. 4 7 0 Attaman

Rubicon

Audrey and Rapparee have both been heavily backed
within the last week, the former being now first favourite,
and if in anything like her Cesarewitch form, she must
be about winning. Rapparee is a good sound horse, but
will find the company here too good. Sir William may
help to swell the field, but that will be all. Zodiac, if he
had a chance at Chester, ought to have one here, but as I
had then no faith in the " sign," neither ha% e I now. Bevis
has long at o seen his best day, and Ilenham Lass is neither
bred nor shaped to stay the course. Frailty is not good
enough to give the lighter weighted three year olds all the
weight she has to do. The Knave and Montebello are, in
my opinion, handicapped quite out of the race. West End
4 yrs, 7st, cannot complain of his weight, but he is too
moderate to succeed in an encounter of this kind. Schism
has often, it is said, disappointed her party, but I do not
believe she was ever wanted, and I would not be surprised
to see her pull through. Canary, 4 yrs, 6st 121 b, with such

a lenient weight, is bound to at least obtain a place in such
moderate company, but I can hardly bring myself to believe

- -- in
that a horse who ran so shifty as he did the Hunt Cup
at Ascot, receiving 361 b from King of Diamonds, and 271 b
from Croagh Patrick, can quite pull through. Lady Evelyn

colt is no better than Costa, mho would have no chance
here. Rubicon, 4 yrs, 6st 9ib, has generally been considered
" turned loose," but judged by his performances, I cannot

see that he has been too leniently dealt with. Physician has
been too long threatening to do a good thing to now do it.

Highflyer is, I fear, too slow for this company, though he

- -
will stay the course. Myrtle, the last American imports •

is a good-looking filly, but has been knocked out of
;he market within the last two or three days. Queen of

Spain was so much out of form in the spring she can hardly
havo recovered yet. Watchfire must hold a forward place
in the fray, as he showed good staying qualities at War-

wick in the spring, when he ran Loiterer a respectable race
at the difference of only 171 b for the two years. His sub.
sequent performances were not so good, as he ran no place
fur the Northampton Stakes, and was also unplaced in the

race won by Brighton at Croxton Park. For -the former,
however, it was not to be expected that he could beat Stam-
ped() at 291 b for the two years, or Rapparee at 131 b for the
year, and at Croxton he made no offer to interfere with his
stable companion Brighton. I consequently regard him as
having a great chance here. Bosh (brother to Elcho) ran
badly last year, and ho showed no improvement this, if his
running in the City and Suburban was not "all bosh."
Hartington (brother to Cavendish), being a Voltigeur,
ought to stay, though he has hitherto only tried "short
cuts," in which he was last year successively beaten by
Tiara, Queen of Spain (his stable companion), My Partner,
Grisette, Ethel, and Gazelle, and this by Rockley for the
Heathcote Plata at Epsom. With Montebello to try with
his owner can hardly make a mistake, so backers will have '
to depend more upon the "slate of the odds" than upon
anything I can tell them. The Earl of Westmore-
land has only ruu twice, being last year nowhere
to Brahmin, who gave him Blb for the Belsay Cast',
Nursery at Richmond, and this year no place to hie
stable companion, Rapparee, for the Thirsk Handicap.
Attaman ran a long way very well for the Somersetshire
Stakes, giving Caractacus 31b, and carrying within 21b of
Lincoln
on St. Bernard, in beating St. Lawrence at indelpi
the
on the mile course, giving him 111 b, showed that he can
run a bit; and as I consider this better than plating form,his opponents will have to look out,
-or they may find
Saint too many for them.

The winner in my opinion is likely to spring from
believing thatDREY, SCHlast week's runnßilSM, WATCHFI
ng E, or ST. BER
was not the true form of
select NARD, and
schism (although her present price is 100 to 1), I will

AUDREY or SCHISM
t) win the Goodwood Stakes of 1862.
The Drawing Room Stakes will be carried off by Q.E.D.
Thursday's list extends to eight races, including the Cup►
the Molecomb, and the Bentinck Memorial Stakes, allow"
of importance. The Cup has a much larger entry *au

last year, but after carefully looking it over I cane!
select, the following as likely to go to the starting post :
The Wizard .. Age st lb

... 5 9 0 ) Tim Whiffler .... 3 7 7
Fairwater ....... 4 8 101Buckenhant

Investment ..... 3 7 7
The Wizard only lost the Cup last year by a head, being
beaten by Starke, and there are two horses that I think
will be before him this year, vie., Zetland and Fairwater,
and as the former beat the latter easily in the Ascot Cur,
he ought to do so again. With regard to Tim Whiffler, I
think he has seen his best day. I shall expect the judge
to place them in the following order

ZETLAND
FAIR WATER

THE WIZARD
The Chesterfield Cup and the other small races wi,
depend on previous running.
