SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

GOODWOOD RACES-FRIDAY.

The meeting was brought to a conclusion amidst fine
sunny weather. The supply of sport was ample, but
spectators mustered somewhat scantily. One casualty
of a painful nature occurred in the race for the Nursery
Stakes, Little Steggles, who was riding Matilda, was
thrown, and so severe were the injuries which he re-
-ceived, that his life is placed "in Imminent danger.
The business of the meeting was efficiently conducted
by the "Newmarket staff of officials," Messrs. Clark,
Hibburd, and Manning. Twenty extra policemen, of
the A division, under the charge of Inspector Banks,
were employed to clear the course. Messrs. Langley
and Whicher, of the detective force, did good service by
preventing the admission of improper characters into the

stand enclosure.
