SPORTING NOTES.

GOOD THINGS FOR GOODWOOD.

I shall not attempt to describe the many attractions
of glorious Geodwood. Turfites -acknowledge their
power; and, despite whatever gloomy forebodiegs may be
entertained to the contrary, the meeting :till maintains
a flourishing popularity. The sport will not only be
ample, but of a most interesting character. A scarcity
:If money, ho orever, is likely to limit the operations of
book-makers. Before these remarks meet the reader's
eye, a large majority of gentlemen turfites and others
will be ere route to the Sussex coast. The subscription
room at the Corner will this afternoon be deserted by
all excent a Jew old toggles, and in fact to-day there
will be a 101 l in .;,5 ,pertng world—a calm whic'l will
pr cede the stem of excitement which will set in to-
morrow and continue till Friday.
Many horses have alreaely arrived, and the Mr.
Crokers of the turf, who gloriously anticipated small
fields, have been completely sileeced. As I write, how-
ever, with one eye on my paper and the other watching
the skies influence, I.corifess that our fickle clerk of the
weather may play us a trick. The sun scarcely breaks
through the heavy leaden hued clouds which lower
drearily. lan net, however, inclined to meet troubles
half-way, and have. faith in sunshine and fair weather.
The course is in beautiful order.

The Gratwicke Stakes may again introduce us to the
Two Thousand victor, Fazz,iletto, who has an allowance
of 3 lbs. Hie most formidable opponent will perhaps be
Manganese. Could I, however, calculate upon a start,
I should be inclined to place some faith in Melissa.
The same circumstance that pnduced the disqualification
of Lord Cdfden's horses last year may also cause the
withdrawal of Melissa on Tues_lay.

Shoul3 St. Hubert not break down he will win the
300 Sovs. Sweepstakes.

The fine, racing-like Zayder Zee engrosses all atten-
tion for the Haul Stakes. When I saw him at New-
market I stated my opinion that he would require time,
and this opinion lam disii.clined to alter. Still from
the spirit wits which he is backed I am compelled to
believe that his success is by his party deemed a cer-
tainty. The colt by Orlando nut of Physalis, and Aya-
canora will be his most dangerous antagonists.

Th,, Levant Stikes E+eenti likely_to -!*(t. placed to the
endit of Impeeieuse.

Au elaborate discussion of the chance for the Good-
! wood Stakes would unnecesearily occupy time and space.
The relative events of the animals have, too, been so
frequently indicated by me that I have really no new
argument to advance. Although POLE STAR won her
race at Chelmsford with seeming difficulty, yet the sub-
sequent performances of Tug o' War will not allow me
to regard that achievement with indifference. Still, I
believe her to be t o heavily weighted to place confidence
in her on this occasion. She will have to meet HUN-
GERFORD and SPEED THE PLOIMH on equal terms, and I
fancy she will find it difficult to shake off the old horses.
According to her Liverpool running, LADY TATTON
deserves the support which she has received, and will
unquestionably obtain a forward position in the race.
PRETTY Bar, good as he has proved binaself to be, can
have no chalice. His weight has been increased 101bs.,
and he will be called upon to concede 171bs. to ZETA,
and 23lee. to GOLDHILL--a task which he will find
it beyond hie.power to accomplish. Oil carefully
cetnparing the chances, indeed, I am induced to
believe that GOLDHILI, and ZETA occupy their true
positions in the betting, for it public running offered any
criterion of ability they are certainly the most formidable
competitors in the race. Goldhill's performances at
Stamford were, I am inclined to believe, all a mistake.
Still I have some deubts as to his staying powers, but my
suspicions may not be well founded: Considering the
heavy character:of the Handicap, at Est 131 b Goldhill can-
not be deemed " badly in." Of the other three-yr-olds
Bandaloreis unquestionably entitled to the precedence.
Still she was thought so utterly bad that she was turned
out of the Bedford Stable. "So was Weathergage "
may be suggested by the reader. I have too much re-
spect for the Admiral's judgment, however, to believe
that he would make a second mistake of that nature.
Swyndel Dhygga and Chevy Chase are not likely to
be heard of again in connection with this race.
Of the four-yr-olds
.Jolly Marine, who, by the
way, is very " fishy" in the market, seems to be, with
the exception of Lady Tattoo, the most favourably
weighted. The recollection of a close race which he
ran with Muscovite, Typee, and Little Harry at New-
market, compels me to deem hun somewhat worthy of
notice. I am, however, compelled to adhere to the
favourites, and shall expect to see the foremost positions
occupied by

ROYAL CREMORNR GARDENS.

Thursday next is the day appointed for Mr. Simpson's
annual benefit, when we have no doubt the attractions
put forth for the occasion, and the estimation in which
he is held, will induce a very large number of visitors to
render him their eupport. Amont the special features
of the evening will be new illumination shields,
crown,, royal arms, and obelisks, which will adorn
the entrance, the Turkish mosque, and the Ashburnhatn
gates. The latter deserves an anticipatory notice from
its novelty, its well-timed compliment, and its tasteful
brilliancy. The space taken up by this artistic triumph
is about 60 feet by 40. The centre displays in varing
coloured crystals the crowns of France, Sardinia, and
England, supporting Turkey, with an elaborate lau-
relled scroll, and the initial letters of each so-
vereign, with the motto, " Cremorne welcomes
Peace. I This is supported by two obelisks with
eight tablets, also in crystal, upon which are inscribed
the names of our Crimean heroes—Raglan, Codring-
ton, Simpson, Lyons, and Williams of Kars, and also
the names of the distinguished inn in our allied army
and navy, surmounted by Cupids with the flags of each
nation. The whole is to be lighted, by an ingenious '
contrivance which will very much increase the bril-
liancy of the effect. The Ashburnhan, Pavilion is
also to be illuminated throughout its length of 375 ft.,
and is to be arranged and decorated for a ball-room,
which will comfortably accommodate many thousands cf
visitors.

It has been suggested ti give the Guards who have
returned from the Crimea a fete in the shape of a dinner,
avid Cremorne-gardens, it is expected, will be the place.
In the permanent marquees, erected at a cost of
2,0001. there is ample accommodation for 5,000 persons
or more if required ; and the proprietor, in antici-
pation of such an event, has provided himself
with the necessary applicancos. But, were this
not so, Mr. Simpson has clearly a strong claim
to entertain this large and honoured party.
It will be recollected that last year he handed
over a cheque for 1,0001. to the Wellington Col-
lege, being the gross receipts of a grand fete he gave for
that purpose. This amount was the largest given by
any individual, and as he then acted generously and
patriotically it is but fair that he should receive some
slight return in the shape of being able to welcome the
brothers in arms of those whose ohildren he has so largely
contributed to aid. The proprietors of the Surrey
Gardens are making great efforts to have the enter-
tainment at their new establishment, but though wish-
ing them every success, it is clear from the past that the
claim of Mr. Simpson, in behalf of Cremorne Gardens,
ought not to be overlooked. In addition to other
facts, it should not be forgotten that Cremorne Gardens,
from its locality, is peculiarly adapted for the entertain-
ment, being contiguous to the barracks and easily acces-
sible from the West-end ; and further, that the Surrey
Gardens has a prestige to acquire, which Cremorne Gar-
dens, after many years' catering for the public, has
deservedly obtained.
