SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

GOODWOOD RACES-THURSDAY.

The heavy rain which fell during the night and early
this morning, although it made the road pleasant for
travelling, had the effect of rendering the course exceed-
ingly heavy, sorely trying the stamina of the young ones.
The " Cup Day" is always the most attractive of the
week, but this year the sporting interest was heightened
by Dervish and Autocrat, the first favourites for the
Derby of 1854, coming together to measure their strength
in the Bentinck Memorial Triennial Stakes, in which
Autocrat achieved an easy victory. The unsettled state
of the weather diminished the general attendance, but
the meeting was still a brilliant one. The " profes-
sionals" mustered in great strength, and the aristocratic
visitors were more numerous than usual. The Cup, a
handsome piece of plate, designed and modelled by
Baron Marochetti, represents an incident said to have
taken place at the battle of Cressy, where the King of
Bohemia and two French knights devoted themselves to
death by tying their bridles together, and dashing into
the thick of the English army. This splendid memorial
of French gallantry was appropriately borne away by
Jouveace, a French horse, the property of M. Lupin, a
gentleman well known in this country as a patron of
horse-racing. By a singular coincidence the second
horse, Hervine, was also bred in France, and belongs to
M. Aumont, a French gentleman.
Having yesterday given a list of the distinguished
guests at Goodwood House, we need but observe that
the same parties were to-day, with their noble hosts,

took a decided lead—Lambton, Knight of the Shire,
Now or Never, Muscovite, Hervine, and Ambrose com-
posing the front lot, Jouvence lying some distance be-
hind them. In pretty nearly the same order they pro-
ceeded until they were round the Clump, when Dago-
bert declining, lost the lead to Hervine, and at the same
time Jouvence, who increased her advantage at every
