A prize 9f Ten Sovereigns, fcr latteen buat,7, belonging
to Norfolk and Suffolk ports.
The following vessels, which appearc I to be excel-
lently assorted, started for this prize at lb. Sm. 20s. :
Maria, 24 feet, Sir J. Preston, Bart.—White, wish red

Cross.
Widgeon, 16 feet, H. Green, Esq.—Blue and white.
Kathleen, 19 feet, Lound, Esq.—Blue, white, and red.
Zephyr, 19 feat, H. l)owson, E.q.—Blue and white.
Osprey, 20 feet, E. Meatman, Esq.—Red.
On starting, the Zephyr took the lead, but it was
but of temporary durati:.,n, for the Maria soon dis-
tanced her, which place sho kept, and on the first
round passed the buoy in gallant style, at least, half-
a-mile ahead of the Widgeon, that had now taken the
second place, which was followed at a very respectful
distance by the Kathleen and Zephyr, which positions
were unchanged during the second round, the vessels
coming in as follow :

h. m. a.
Maria ... ... 2 7 4
Zephyr 2 16 30
Widgeon ... ... 214 20
Kathleen ... 2 20 16
The Osprey gave up on the second round.
On arriving off the pier head the winner was received
with enthusiastic cheering.
The great match of the day was for a purse of twenty
sovereigns, to be sailed for by yachts not exceeding
fifty tons. Three to start, or no race. Half a minute
per ton allowed for difference of tonnage. The follow-
ing yachts were entered, and started at 1.30:
Fanny, 20 tons, W. Clay, Esq.—Red.
Waveney, 15 tons, R. N. Bacon, Esq.—Blue.
Little Eastern, 10 tons, Captain Andrews—White.
Iris, 10 tons, R. A. Reeve, Esq.—White with blue

square.
Pearl, 12 tons, Sir VT. B. Proctor, Bart —White with
red cross.
Red Rover, 14 tons, Thomas Palmer, Esq.—Red, white,
and red.
Kestrel, 10 tons, Charles Crawshay, Esq.—Red cross,
white ground.
Salute, 10 tons, T. Cardinal, Esq.—Nag's head.
The Tantivy was entered for this race, but did not ap-
pear at the starting buoys. The yachts had a gay ap-
pearance on taking their places, and on the signal gun
being fired the Pearl was the first to get underweigh,
followed by the Red Rover, and at some distance from
them by the rest. The Waveney, being unable to
weather the pier, nearly got across the moorings, lost
considerable time before she could join in the contest.
The yachts came in in the first round as follows:

These prizes were well contested, and afforded great
amusement. _ . _

The match for a purse of fifty sovereigns for yachts
not exceeding 50 tons, half-a-minute time, did not fill.
There were also rowing matches for 6-oared beach
gigs, and a match for sailing punts for a prize of 101.
The vessels in the harbour and the pier wore enlivened
during the day by several bands, who performed some
very choice music at intervals.
The sports were brought to a close soon after six
o'clock fn the evening; and if numbers of persons col-
lected to witness them, and hearty cheering that greeted
the several winners can be taken as a criterion, the
amusements gave general satisfaction, and the caterers
for the " creature comforts" in Lowestoft must have
reaped an abundant harvest.
The Regatta dinner took place in the evening at the
Royal Hotel, on the Esplanade, at which about 150 gen-
tlemen sat down. The chair was taken by S. M. Peto,
Esq., M.P., supported by Lord A. Paget, Sir Edward
Lake, Captain Gooch, D. Waddington, Esq., chairman
of the Eastern Counties Railway Company, and the
members of the Eastern Yacht Club. Several excellent
speeches were made, and the evening passed off with
satisfaction at the present success and future prospects
of the harbour of Lowestoft.
In the evening the front of the Royal Hotel was bril-
liantly illuminated with appropriate and complimentary
devices, and at night the inhabitants and numerous
visitors were gratified by a splendid display of fireworks
from the Esplanade, with which the amusements of the
most successful regatta ever witnessed at this place
was brought to a close.
It was computed that not less than 20,000 persons
were among the visitors from Norwich and Yarmouth
alone, to convey whom, every possible vehicle was
brought into requisition, in addition to the frequent
trains on the railway, varying from 36 to 40 carriages
each.

THE PROBABLE FIELDS AND WINNERS OF
TO-MORROW'S RACES AT GOODWOOD.

TO THE EDITOR OF TILE SUE.
Sin,—The performances commenced yesterday with a
couple of walks over; then came the great stake of the
day, the Goodwood Stakes, for which thirteen nags put
in an appearance, including all the favourites, with the
solitary exception of Cariboo, who was scratched on
Tuesday evening at five o'clock. This scratching of
Mr. Greville's elicited some angry comments from a
good many persons, who were by the proceeding put
most uncomfortably in the hole. Though not approving
the scratching of favourites at the last moment, it is my
opinion that the owner in this instance adopted the
wiser course in withdrawing him from the Stakes I
contest and sending him for the Cup instead; which, by
the bye, will be won by him or Nancy for a certainty,
with Mentes and Landgrave third and fourth. Bat, to
return to the Goodwood Stakes, from which I am sadly
digressing, directly the thirteen competitors were well
on their legs, Hurry-Scurry, after having previously
bolted and pitched her jockey off, sprang to the front
and made the running to the turn round the clump; here
Duc-an-Durras and Narcissus took the lead, which they
kept, however, only for an instant, both taking the turn
into the Queen's Plate Course, instead of pursuing the
G. S. C.; the consequence was that they were
immediately out of the race ; both were going
well at the time and looking very much like winners.
Immediately after this, to their backers' nerves—exqui-
site blunder, Windischgratz took up the running, and,
with The Grand Duke immediately in his rear, carried
it on to half-way up the hill; here Pitsford came with a
rush and dispossessed Windy of his lead; it was only a
temporary advantage, however, Windy going round the
tura first, with Becton and " the crack" still at his heels.
Two distances from home Becton obtained the lead,
which he maintained to near the stand; here, however,
the race to all intents and purposes was over, Backbiter,
having gradually crept up in the straight run in, suc-
cessively passed Windy, The Grand Duke, Strong-
bow, and Bacton, and won very cleverly by a length,
Nat holding the old horse well together. The
Grand Duke beat Stroiagbow for second place
by a length; the latter started to take care of his
juvenile stable-companion—Harpsichord, did not come
until the last moment, or he might have repeated
Windy's Liverpool Cup and Goodwood Stakes' dose of
last year. Bacton was a fair fourth, and Windischgrata
filth; the rest nowhere! The two great guns of a week
or two ago—Presto and Harpsichord, could not live the
pace. Time, exactly the same as last year, 4 min 51
secs. The aristocratic division " throw in" for a good
stake; the book-makers, except in two or three lucky
instances, are losers on the race, notwithstanding the
number of horses that have been backed for it since the
weights appeared. To-morrow's " bill of fare" for a
last day's is an uncommonly good one, sporting, as it
does, no less than eight events. The Nassau Stakes,
one mile, will, in all probability, be contested by
Aphrodite, Bst 131 b; BareelonaOst 71b ; and Anspach,
Bst 71b; or the Squaw, Bst 71b. With a start, I have no
hesitation in placing APHRODITE first, Anspach second,
and Barcelona third. The Richmond Stakes, one mile
and three quarters, is a very open affair ; the antago-
nists, I fancy, will be Runnymede, Bst 41b; Iris, Bst 51b;
and Hesse Romberg, Bst 41b. Inn ought to win this
stake. The field for the Chesterfield Cup will, probably,
be composed of Turnus, Strongbow or Loadstone, Offi-
cious, Dulcet, Champion, Eva, Humphrey, Nautch Girl,
Croupier, and Faux-pas. Four or five others may
be sent in addition to the above; their
names, however, I cannot give. As I observed
before, in Note No. 89, STRONGROW or OFFICIOUS is the
animal my prophetic lorgnette points at as the winner.
The field for the Nursery will be composed of Grey
Tommy, Cytherea filly, Constantine or Jullien, Ham-
bletonian, Frantic, colt by Touchstone, Iresine, Sir
Charles Napier, Benita, The Sphynx, M. Houdin,
Senorita, Lady Blanche, and Maria or Plumstead. Not
placing much faith in the cracks, I shall look among
the light weights for a winner, and I think it very pos-
sible I may find the name of note in SENORITA, or ono
of the Goodwood fillies—MAßlA or PLueIsTEAD.
I am, Sir, yours, &c.,

In proceeding to the post Hurry-Scurry bolted, and
threw the lad, without injuring him.
At starting, Hurry-Scurry took the lead, closely fol-
lowed by indischgratz, Duc-an-Durras, Narcissus,and
several of the light weights, Pitsford, Champion, and
Backbiter, bringing up the rear. They ran in this order
until near the turn round the clump, when Duc-an-
Durras and Narcissus went in advance, the latter un-
luckily taking the turn into the Queen's Plate course,
inetead of continuing in the proper one; the Irish horse
followed her, and thus both were put hors de combat .
Windischgratz now took up the running, attended by
Hurry-Scurry, Bacton, and Grand Duke, Pitsford and
Backbiter, still lying in the rear; the race proceeded
thus till half-way up the hill, when Pitsford went up,
caught Windischgratz near the top, and headed
him round the turn, but a few strides
further gave way, the front rank being left in possession
of Bacton, Grand Duke, and Windischgratz, Bacton lead-
ing. On this lot Backbiter waited to the distance, vi here
he closed, ran with them until within sixty or seventy
yards of home, and won very cleverly by a length.

the third place, finishing a length from Grand Duke.
Bacton was fourth, and Windischgratz fifth. Run in 4

Lord Exeter's Phlegethon, Bst 71b (Marlow) 4
Betting-5 to 2on Hesse Homburg, and 4to 1 each
agst Phlegethon and Sir Rowland Trenchard. Midas
took a clear lead at starting, and with Phlegcthon in his
wake cut out the work to the half-mile post. Hesse
Homburg here went in front, and west on with a strong
lead, and half way up the distance appeared to be win
ning in a canter, but Sir Rowland Trenchard coming
with a tremendous rush opposite the stand, headed her,
and after a slashing race won by half a length. The race
was not timed.
This race was followed by a tremendous thunder
storm, the atmosphere being so thick that the country a
quarter of a mile from the stand was completely shut out
trona view; the weather had previously been very fine.
This change, as unbolted for as it was unwelcome, in-
duced the stewards to issue an order that the jockeys
were net to mount until the storm abated.
The Stewards' Cup of 300 sovs. value, added to a Han-
dicap of 5 soars. eaah. T.Y.C.
