SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

GOOD WOOD RACES .-WEDNESDAY.

Biped and quadruped will longremember the dusty drive
from Drayton station this morning, and the pull up the
hill under the rays of as scorching a sun as Goodwood
ever experienced. The Wight was hidden in heated mist,
and the dwarf tower of Chichester Cathedral appeared to
glow in the broiling atmosphere. It was a day of intense
heat without any cooling breeze.

The Drawing-Room Stakes only bringing three to the
post, yet as two of them were Longdown and Gladiateur,
the one carrying 51b, and the other 101 b extra, the race of
course excited an immense amount of interest, though few
after one look at the Derby winner could have much doubt
as to the result. Longdown could not live with him, and
he won by 40 lengths with the same grand stride and
bounding action that astonished us so much at Epsom.

The Stakes, as we remarked yesterday, could not boast
much in the way of quality, and despite Claremont and
Suspicion being the strong favourites they were, the race
in the eyes of many good judges was an open affair. The
fallacy of private trials has been so often exposed that the
very favourable one Mr. Bevill's horse was said to have had
with Helen failed to convince the sceptical as to-his merits.
But the result proved right this Limo. While Claremont,
his fellow-favourite, was never in the race, Suspicion,
thanks to his very light impost, had won from the first,
and scattered his field easily. The horse upon whom there
were more place bets than any in the race, Blackdown,
broke down.

The Findon Stakes proved the Student to be very good,
for he made his own running and cut down his field, in-
cluding the much-vaunted Auguste, without being called
upon.

The other events will speak for themselves.

At the second attempt they left the post in straggling
order, Raglan immediately taking a clear lead, having Gay
Deceiver and Musketeer as his immediate followers, Mus-
keteer with Gomera at his girth lying off several lengths.
Rounding the turn into the straight Musketeer dropped
back, and Gomera gradually improving his position took
the second place at the distance, and on Crook attempting
to get up next the rails Raglan was driven so close as to
interfere with her action, and in consequence her rider
was compelled to ease and come round on his left, which
, which was subsequently

The Princess of Wales, upon sufferance, made play, fol-
lowed by Longdown and the favourite into the bottom,
when the former was disposed of, and Longdown then
came on, but, being headed by the Frenchman at the
distance, the race was virtually over, as Grimshaw, sitting
at his ease, came away and won, with hands down, by 40
lengths.

Todleben got away in advance, and made play at a sharp
pace, Tennyson going on second, with Zambezi and the
favourite side by side. They proceeded in their positions
and Archi-
into the bottom, when Tennyson was beaten,
modes heading Mr. Merry's colt, caught Todleben at the
Stand, and
dwon in a Canter by a length. Zambezi finished
a bad third.
