SPORTING NOTES.

The programme for Goodwood 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 rai her fewer nominations to the
Stewards' and Chesterfield Cups than last year. For the
fiat day six of the nine items on the list are closed, and
these inc ude the Levant and Ham Stakes for two year olds,
the Gratwicke for three year olds, the Three Hundred Soya
Sweepstakes for four year olds, and the Stewards' Cup for
three year olds and upwards. For the Lavant the fallow-
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 soya, will have to carry a 31b 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 la-t 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 eisy matter to select the winner out of seventy-
seven horses; but if I retain Lady Clifden, 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 wage 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 considere•l 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 53 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
tour year olds 14 times, and the horses above that age 12
limes; a very equal apportionment, aed 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, Heniaam Lass, Of timist, Rather
High colt, Mistake, Bryn Gwyn, Beneventum,
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 b.
trip to Goodwood. The field must consequently be selected
from the following :

Age st lb , Age sr lb
Rapparee ........ 4 9 2 Highflyer
Audrey
Duleibella
Sir William ...... 5 8 2 - chehal lion
Zodiac .......... 4 7 9 Watchflre

My Partner 3 6 9 Earl of Surrey .... 3 5 7
Lady Evelyn colt.. 3 6 9 Freeholder 3 5 7
Rubicon .. .. 4 6 9 St. Bernard
Physician

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 ado seen his best day, and Henhem Lass is neither
bred nor shaped to stay the course. Frailty is not goctd
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. Est 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
that a horse who ran so shifty as he did in 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, v 4 ho would have no chance
here. Rubicon, 4 yrs, Est 9,b, 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.
flighflyer is, I fear, too slow for this company, though he
will stay the course. Myrtle, the last A.merilan importa • A
lion, is a good looking filly, but has been knocked out of
the market within the last two or three days. Queen of
Spain was so much out of form in the spring she can hardly
have 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-
pede at 291 b for the two years, or Rapparee at 1 '4lb 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 he 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 t'artner,
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 "state of the odds" than upon
anything I can tell them. The Earl of 'Westmore-
land has only run twice, being last year nowhere
to Brahmin, who gave him 81b for the Belsay Castle
Nursery at Richmond, and this year no place to his
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
Dusk. St. Bernard, in beating St. Lawrence at Lincoln
on the mile course, giving him 1 Ilh, 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 the
Saint too many for them.
The winner in my opinion is likely to spring from
AUDREY, SCHISM, WATCHEIRE, Or S. BERNARD,
s
believing that last week's running was not the true form of
schismelect (although her present price is 100 t O 1), andwill

AUDREY or SCHISM

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 !big year, viz., Zetland and Fairwater,
and as the former beat the latter easily ha the Ascot Cup,
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.................. 1

The Chesteifield Cup and the other small races will

THE BOMBAY MAILS.

SOUTHAMPTON, MONDAY MORNING.

The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steam--
ship Delta, Captain J. Weeks, has arrived, with
the heavy portion of these mails, in charge of Mr.
F. White, of the General Post-office. On freight
she has five packages of specie, value £1,710;
1,296 bales of silk, one case of shawls, 600 bags of
wheat, and 163 packages of general merchandise.
The Delta left Alexandria on the 15th inst.,
Malta on the 19th, and Gibraltar on the 23d, and
has had fine weather and light breezes all the pas-
sage. She spoke the following vessels :—J uly 17
the Peninsular and Oriental steamers Massilia and
Euxine, steering eastward ; 18th, the barque Quin-
ton, sailing east ; 20th, the Peninsular and Oriental
steamer Pera, steering southward and eastward,
and the brig Goshawk, steering westward; 21st,
the Orontes, steamer, steering eastward ; 22d, the
steamer Ada, steering eastward ; 23d, the Penin-
sular and Oriental steamer Ripon, steering south-
ward.

Her Majesty's ship Pelican was at Alexandria;
Exmouth, Malacca; Alacrity, Doris, Wanderer,
Neptune, Surprise, Trident, and Foxhound at
Malta; and the Redpole and Scylla at Gibraltar.
The Magicienne left Gibraltar for the eastward on
the 17th. The Procris gunboat, having completed
her repairs at Malta, was only awaiting her new
commander, -Lieut. the Hon. J. B. Vivian, from
Corfu, to resume her post at Gibraltar, bringing
supernumeraries for Scylla.

DISGUSTING CHARGE
__AGAINST 'A

CLERGYMAN.

A painful and disgusting charge has just been
brought before the county magistrates at Slough
against the Rev. C. Reddall, chaplain of the
Slough and Eton Union Workhouse, who had been
apprehended on Sunday evening last on a charge of
having indecently assaulted Elizabeth Salter, a
child of 10 years of age. Mr. C. S. Voules attended
on the part of the prisoner,
Complainant, an intelligent little girl, deposed
that she lived at Slough. Knew Mr: Reddall,
and on Sunday last was in the road near the
defendant's lodgings, when he called her to come
in the golden-gate. She went to him. He then
asked her to have some--

Defendant—Some wine.
Witness said some wine.

The Bench desired the defendant to remain quiet.
When he asked me (continued the complainant) to
take some wine, I said, No, thank you, sir."
Afterwards he asked me to walk into his room,
where he kept me about three-quarters of an hour.
Defendant—Oh, what a lie! It was about three
minutes_ Oh, what base wretches! Oh, what
wickedness ! It is a wonder—a marvel—that God,
in his wrath, does not lift up His. arm and strike
them all dead.

Complainant continued—As soon as I went int
the room he asked me to sit on his knee ; took me
up and kissed me a great many times. He put his
hand up my clothes. I tried to get away, but he
would not !et me. He pulled me to the sofa, but I
got away for a time. He made me sit in a chair,
and put his hands up my clothes again. (The wit-
ness more minutely described the prisoner's con-
duct, which cannot here be given.) My brother
knocked at the door and defendant opened the par-
tour door. Mrs. Crook came in ; I was crying when
she enter ed. He had undone the door before Mrs.
Crook came in.

Defendant—Oh, I wonder God does not strike
hem dead!

itness, in reply to Magistrate's Clerk, said he
began to undo his trousers.

Defendant—Oh, you lying little creature ! oh
that wicked woman! (Defendant, who was greatly
excited, kept up a running comment of this kind
during the time the witnesses were giving their
evidences.) _

-Witness proceeded—l left after Mrs. Crook had
opened the door. I told my mother and father
what had happened as soon as I went home. I
have since told Mrs. Crook he took me on his knee
as soon as I entered the room, and then did what I
have stated.

Defendant—Yes; I took her on my knee and
put 'my hands by accident at the bottom of her cri-
noline—just on the knee. (A laugh.) I took no
liberties whatever, God knows.
Mrs. Crook was then called, but the prisoner ob-
jected to her evidence, sa3 ing she did not believe in
the Bible. The witness said—Thu prisoner came
to lodge in my house in May last. On Sunday
;ast the little girl came to the house about six
o'clock. Defendant appeared to have seen her
before, and sent her to ask her brother to fetch a
fly, who returned in half-an-hour and asked for his
sister, who I had no idea had remained in the house.
On entering the room I observed that the child had
been crying. She ran out of the room into the
c
street. I called upon the child's mother to i
qnire
prisoner
with the child cried. When I charged the
with having insulted the child he seized
me by th
throat, so that for some time I could not speak. As
soon as I could I called out "Murder!" and a
neighbour came to my assistance,
afterwards came and took the prisoner aTwhaey. officer
Mr. Ironies asked complainant
if she did not con-
sider, from prisoner's general character, that he was
occasionally insane.
Witness—Not at all : 'tis brought on
and beastful ways. by drink
Defendant's son stated that his father had been in
a lunatic asylum, and was discharged uncured.
Defendant, after quoting portions of Sriptures,
contended that the proceedings were informal, be-
cause his name had not been properly spelt in the
warrant the letter "e" having been substituted
for 44 a;" they consequently had the wrong man
altogether.
The prisoner was remanded for a week, to enable
the magistrates to consult with the Secretary of
State in reference to the case.

r A PLEASURE BOAT AT SEA ALL NlGHT.—Yes-
terday afternoon a party consisting tf ~‘ix ladies and six
gentlemen, from Hull, put off from Witlaernsea in a plea-
sure , and,
boat, being carried away by the force of wind and
tide, they were unable to regain the there, and after pass-
ing the night at sea, during which time they had fre-
quently to bale the boat of water, they were picked up this
(Friday) morning by a vessel and taken into Burlington,
not a little fatigued with their unfortunate ,adveuture.—
