SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

GOODWOOD RACES.

MONDAY.-For some time past active preparations hay.,
been making in a:I parts of the country to give eclat to the
-xpected Royal visit, and divers speculations have beei,
lazarded upon the route to he taken by his Majesty, the
i'armula to be observed in presenting loyal addresses. and
the other details consequent upon so rare and so exciting
in occasion. The arrival of the Earl and Countess of
Nlunster at the seat of Lord Egremont, and the subse-
quent arrangements directed by the venerable Earl,
added to the still more extensive accommodations provided
at the hospitable residence of his Grace the Duke of Rich-
mond, encouraged the belief that the hing-prornised visit
would actually take•place: the Chichester lieg s were
especially on the qui rive—speeches were manu'actured,
processions arranged, and every thing else duly ordered
that might beseem a spirited and loyal city; the prices for
lodgings, horses, stabling, and provisions (at all times dear
enough), rose in proportion to the ciecasion, and there was
a general and joyful anticipation of a glorious harvest in
all the towns and villages within 10 or 15 miles of the
place. Up to the latter part of the week all was sun.
shine, when a death-blew WWI given to the homes of al
parties interested, by the unexpected and (to them) un-
toward arrival of the Duke of Saxe Meiningen. Bad 1
news travels a " racing pace ;" it soon, therefore, became '
known in the vicinity of Chichester, that his Majesty
could not, under existing circumsta;ces, participate in the
festivities of Goodwood ; it is almost superfluous to I,ld,
that the disappointment is severely felt by all chime. The
absence of his Majesty is not likely to have any very pre-
judicial effect on the meeting ; iudeed, we have abundant
reasons for believing that it will be one of urtt;;*,;a:ied splen-
dour, and that it will surpass arty other in the excellence
~
and importance of the rating.

wood during the races :—Duke and Duchesa of Argyll,
