GOODWOOD RACES—TiiE Y. T.
• "-
• -
The magnificent meeting at Goodwo.. was-mange
rated to-day under the most favourable auspices. The
weather was most propitious, a brilliant unclouded sun
diffused its radiance over the surrounding scenery, and
the general atmosphere was redolent of summer's richest
fragrance. The attendance of aristooratia and other
visitors certainly showed no diminution from that of
former years, although the absence of several distin-
guished persons was noted. On the balcony of the Grand
Stand, and on the embankment to the right of the en-
closure were many ladies, whose light and elegant
dresses, in beautiful variety, gave a peculiarly graceful
and picturesque effect to the highly animated scene.
An attack of the gout, we regret to state, confined
the Duke of Richmond to the house during the early
part of the afternoon, but just before the race for the
Stewards' Cup he arrived on the course in a pony chaise.
The principal members of his family "assisted" as usual
at the meeting.
The yellow jacket and crimson cap, the colours of the

experienced.
Tee arrangements for the accommodation of visitors
were the same as in former years, except that for the

Although the fields were with one exception compa-
tively small, yet the racing was marked by incidents of
interest and importance. The Stewards' Cup, which
was brought forward from Wednesday, materially
strengthened the attractions of the " opening day." It
brought out 38 competitors, and occasioned a most inte-
resting encounter. The close company which most of
them kept from end to end testified to the excellent judg-
ment of the handicapper.
