ODDS AND ENDS CONCERNING GOODWOOD.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. •
SlR,—Yesterday afternoon and evening brought about
several irepartant alterations in the market with regard
to the Goociwoad events. It came out last night that
Iris, Phlegm, and, perhaps, Bonnie Dundee would run
in opposition to Hernandez and Misserima for the Grat-
wicke Stakes; 10 to 1 was repeatedly taken about the
two outsiders, and 3 to 1 was the highest offer against
either Iris or Miserrima. Hernandt z declined a fraction
of a point. I see nothing in the race, considering his
pretensions and condition, that stands a chance of con-
quering him. The second " move" last night was a de-
cided current setting in, in favour of Claverhouso for
the Ham Stakes; the Goodwood horses were nothing
like so firm as they have been for this stake. It was
also tolerably evident that another Goodwood nag (Wil-
liam the Conqueror) would have to succumh to Lord
Exeter's Nutshell for the Great 300 boys. Stakes. The
Drawing Room Stakes and the two 300 Sovs. Stakes
were, however, booked as certainties for the home
department. With the exception of Presto's,
Harpsichord's, Clarissa's, and Humphrey's friend-
less condition, the Goodwood Stakes remained in
statu quo. Ou the Cup, however, one or two curious
" moves" were apparent. Cariboo in the first instance
declined to 7 to 2, and in one or two instances 4 to 1 was
laid, he then recovered to 3 to 1 offered; Essedarius once
more made his appearance in the market at an outside
price; Cossack retired to 10 to 1 taken, and Nancy
oscillated all the evening between 3 and 4 to 1; Hesse
Homburg was sent to the right-about, while a new
aspirant for Cup h onours in Clincher, on the strength of
a large outlay, ad vanced to 8 to 1, not to be obtained at
midnight. The betting, this morning, up to half-past one
o'clock, has embrc,ceel the following transactions:—Ham
Stakes-4 to 1 tigst Claverhouse; sto 1 agst Father
Thames. Gratwioke Stakes-5 to 4on Hernandez; sto
2 agst Iris; Bto 1 agst Phlegra. Goodwood Stakes-
6to 1 agst Grand Duke; 8 to 1 apt Narcissus; 9 to 1
agst Backbiter; IGO to 7 agst Miss Whip colt; 100 to 7
agst Pitsford; 15 to 1 agst Cariboo; 200 to 13 agst
Presto; 18 to 1 ag;ut Due-an-Dun...ls. Goodwood Cup-
-3 to 1 agst Cariboo; 7 to 2 agst Nancy; 7 to 1 agst
Clincher; 10 to 1 agat Cossack; 12 to 1 agst Landgrave.
