SPORTING INTF.LuGENCE.

GOODWOOD RACES—THURSDAY.
The prestige arid attraction of the " Cup Day" were
as usual sufficient to draw a large attendance of com-
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 oc-
casions.
The betting brotherhood gathered together in full
force, and business was carried on with unflagging spirit; S
their speculations were, however, greatly narrowed by 21
the insignificant field which came forth to contend with
Virago in the race for the Cup. It will be seen by the
subjoined det,fils that their pretensions were disposed of L-
in a manner which showed them to be weak indeed. Virigo's success was, in fact, reduced to a "dead cer-
31
tainty." 6to 1 was freely betted on her at the close, 27
an she won in the commonest band canter.
Tee cup or vase was modelled by M. Lauri; a French 22
artist of high repute, and was manufactured by Mr. 25
Hancock, of New Bond-street. It is three feet high, in
the Cinque Cento style, and is elaborately executed in
bright and frosted silver. Around the centre of the cup
is a series of gran" very fine in design, representing the 60
545
taming of Bucepiialus by Alexander the Great. The
20
handle is partly formed by the figure of a female, a 20
marine deity, and on the summit is a statuette swan, 10
with outspread wings. The "tout ensemble" reflects the 50
highest credit on the artist and manufacturers. .25
In addition to the distinguished visitors who were
present each day, the " house party" consisted of the 25
Earl and Countess of Derby, the Earl and Countess of 25
Beesborough, Earl and Countess of Chesterfield and IF,I

by the favourite, who waited on the Warrior to the dis-
tance, where she took the command, and beat him in a
