BRIGIIVON RACES.

As a sequitur of Goodwood Brighton has always claimed
a very fair share of public ratronage—more, however, from
its being considered in the light of a pleasurable little
gathering, and coming as au agreeable relief after the some-
what hard work of the previous week, than from any in-
trinsic merits of its own. his year, however, the commit-
tee, by the very liberal contribution of £2,400, including a
Gold Cup worth £4OO, hare sought to give the meeting• a
more business character, and if their efforts are seconded
by the leading men on the turf, there is little doubt that
Brighton will take higheriank than it has yet done.

There were only six events for to-day, commencing with
the Bristol Plate, one mile, generally an interesting race.
There was not much in it, however, beyond the top weight.
Guardsman, who, carrying Bst 121 b, made most of the run-
ning, and won cleverly. From Rodmire's running at
Goodwood it looked a certainty for him in the Brighton
Stakes, and Verdant got Closer to him coming up the hill
than was quite pleasant to his-backers, yet he landed the
odds by half a length in the last few strides. There was
a fine race between Saladin and Armadillo in the Marine
Plate, the latter coming with a rush in the last 200 yards,
and, catching the favourite on the post, made a dead heat
of it. In the deciding heat the young one made strong
pace, but, being unable to get out of the way of his oppo-
nent, who stuck to him with unflinching gameness, was
beaten by a head, to the great glee of the fielders.
Longdown and Le Mandarin were the only competitors
in the Biennial, the French horse making the favourite
gallop his quickest until they reached the Stand, where
Longdown won cleverly.

Archimedes carried off the C ampagne Stakes in such
hollow style from Union Jack to Wag him into notice
for .the St. -.Leger,- 1.210 1 nit' about him after

The attendance was smaller than we are accustomed to

the storms of the previous day having laid the dust and
made it " good going."

but at last they were despatched on equitable.terms, Guards-
man lying in the centre, havinga trifle the best of it, closaly
attended by Knight of the Whistle, John Gully, Sympa-
thy, and Cobweb to the bend, when Knight of the Whistle
came up next the rails, and as they entered the bottom ho
held a clear lead of Vixen, who, with Guardsman and Cob-
web in attendance, came on with the running to the enclo-
sure, when he dropped back, and Mr. Cotton's horse again
was left in front. At the Stand Vixen challenged ; but,
failing to get up, was beaten after a fine finish by three
parts of a length. Cobweb was third, a length and a half
in their rear, Knight of the Whistle was fourth, Sympathy

in their rear came Flatterer. These positions were retained
over the hill, but as they approached the bend the promi-
nent lead of the Marquis's colt sensiblydecreased, andthey
got upon closer terms. On entering the straight, Redcap
resigned the pride of place to Verdant, who came up on
their right, and led into the bottom, where Redmire joined
him, and as they ascended the hill the pair became locked
together, and ran so to the Stand, where the favourite by
sheer gameness got his head in advance, and won a very
exciting race by half a length. There were three lengths

the latter from the fourth. Flatterer, who never was in the
hunt, was beaten off 100 yards.

an hour. When the signal was lowered they got away in
straggling order. Madcap, Polka, and Triumpher being left
a long way in rear of everything, Sympathy, in company
with Trap and Puritan, ran nearly abreast, followed by
Money Spinner and Salliet into the bottom, when Mosey
Spinner came out, and in the next few strides drew in ad-
