BPORTING INTELLIGENCIL

GOODWOOD RACES-7'IOEIII3AT.
The prestige and attraction of the "Cup Day" were
as usual sufficient to draw a large attendance of cese.
pany. But although there was no perceptible deficiency
in the display of rank and fashion, the muster of plea.
sure-folk was certainly not so large as on former on,
casions.
The betting brotherhood gathered together in fall
force, and business was carried on with unflagging spirit;
their speculations were, however, greatly narrowed by
the insignificant field which came forth to contend with
Virago in the race for the Cup. It will be seen by the
subjoined details that their pretensions were disposed of
in a manner which showed them to be weak indeed.
Virago's success was, in fAct, reduced to a " dead cer-
tainty." 6to 1 was freely betted on her at the slow,
and she won in the commonest hand canter.
The cup or vase was modelled by M. Lanai, a French
artist of high repute, and was manufactured by Mr.
Hancock, of New Bond-street. It is three feet high, in
the Cinque Cento style, and is elaborately executed is
bright and frosted silver. Around the centre of the cup
is a series of groups, very fine in design, representing the
taming of Bucephalus by Alexander the Great. The
handle is partly formed by the figure of a female, is
marine deity, and on the summit is a statuette swan,
with outspread wings. The " tout ensemble" reflects the
highest credit on the artist and manufacturers.
In addition to the distinguished visitors who were
present each day, the " house party" consisted of the
Earl and Countess of Derby, the Earl and Countess of
Bessborough, Earl and Countess of Chesterfield and
Lady Evelyn Stanhope, Earl of Jersey, Earl of Eglin.
