No. LXXXVI.
REMINIRCENCES OF STAMFORD AND NOT-
TINGHAM ‘A ITU A GLANCE AT GOLDEN
GOODWOOD.

TO THE ED. i OR OE THE SUN.
SlR,—The', line 1 Mew with respect to the Stamford
Gold Cup was the true one, as Ninus, Lord Exeter's
nag, and King Charming, passed the post in the exact
places I awarded them. The distaecs suit-d Ninus rather
better than it did Plalegethon and King Charming, and
he won rather easily at last by a length. Pblegetbos
only obtained a head the advantage of me King for tll°
second place. The decision of the Nottinghamshire.
Handicap in favour of Montague also confirmed 11”,
judgment. In No e, No. 85, I observed that " the rimer
the money' has been pr incipally upon Herbert, illontag!ter,
Cocktail and Follow-me-lads; of this quartette lied 1".
e fined to back AIoNTAGUE and Cocktail in preference to
the other two" I also remarked 0vi,.11 respect to that
extensive " pot"—Follow-me-lad., that "as the absolatl
winner, 1 cannot have him, notwithstanding the s talent,
for the most part, are on him.'" Montague laid for'
ward in the race almost from the start, and won, after S
little persuasion, by a head! Herbert beating Cecilia!'
a length for second honours. Thus, my fancy aniratoo
ran first and third; and three out of the four money
horses occupied the three foremost places; in this, 89 10
many other instances this year, the money turning ant
to be the beat prognostication of the day. On the
strength of his running yesterday, Montague has so-
vanced about five points for the Goodwood Stakes, for
whioh race, however, he does not carry my codfidence
or cash either. As the most princely meeting of the
year (Goodwood) is fast approaching, I shall just sake
slight prospective glance at the spot, so tar as the low
ing items of the " bill of fare" are concerned, that may
be expected on the domain of the Lennox in the week
after next. The Gratwicke Stakes this year sports
thirty-seven nominations, which will make them worth
about 2,0001., destined, according to my view of the
matter, to go into Lord Enfield's pocket by the aid of
.Hernandez, who has an allowance of 31bs; Iris, I be'
lieve, will be non est, and Miserrima is the only
other animal that the winner of the Tvro
Thousand Guineas Stakes will stand a remote
chance of succumbing to. Among the tweet),"
nine entries for the Ham Stakes are to be found the po'
tent names of Claverhouse, Houlakin, Harbinger, Cslr
terbury, The Nabob, and Father Thames; the last
named receives 6lbs of Houlakin, Claverhouse, and The
Nabob, and 31bs of Harbinger and Canterbury, which
may just turn the scale of fortune in his favour. Shalt'
Father Thames miss the mark, I must row in the Good"
wood boat. For thei, Great 300 Soya. Stakes six cripple
have been entered, including Nutshell and William the
Conqueror; and as Nutshell is reported to be in " a 6%,,
as a matter of course, The Conqueror will
realise his name in this solitary instance. I should
say the home-brewed Fe oductions of the Goo.d.
wood stable would carry off the palm in the half rode
spin for the Levant Stakes. I will touch upon Wed..
nesdey's and two following days races to-morrow. The.
betting this morning is by no manner of means of tbe
briskest d. ecription. The following are the latest olo°'

HER MAJESTY'S THEATRV.
The magnificent opera IL Prodigo was repeated h,esd
last evening, by special deeire, on which occasion• no
Majesty and Prince Albert honoured the perform n
with their presence. Nothing could be more pet o
than the rendering of Auber's most characteristic nitipot
by orchestra and choruses. Sontag was in exce Ile
voice, and sang divinely ; and Massol's steitri;
and singinr, as Reuben, were superb. The Poi
cessions, and dancing, and spectacle, in the seOps
and third act surpass in gorgeousness any ibl,bo
that has ever been before attempted, and ,'.ds
dancing of Carolina Rosati and her atteiSo'o,
Ala.6-s is of the most graceful and fascinating ch
ter. The Poignard dance is a perfect marvel of chn Oho
graphic art. Between the third and fourth acts of $O4
