SPORTING NOTES.

The programme for Goodwood is of the same imposing

character as ever, and though it is necessarily deprived of
one of the leading features of last year—the Great Ben-
tinck Memorial Plate of 1,000 gs—l have no doubt: the

meeting will attain to as great a success, and that we shall
witness a renewal of those splendid contests on this famed
arena which have obtained for it the distinguishing appel-
lation of " glorious."

On the first day there is the Stewards' Cup, T.Y.C., for
the chief attraction, and we have no hesitation in pronounc-
ing the handicap one of the best issued this year.
Without attempting to discuss the merits of the handi-
cap, I shall at once proceed to point out those 1 consider
best " in." Amongst those to whom the Admiral has given
precedence, Fort-a-Bras, 5 yrs, Bst 61b, is the first that
strikes me to have a chance, as he has shown good form in
every encounter he has been engaged in, and is considered

the speediest horse in France ; and after him, from amongst
he top weights, I expect to see Montebello hold an equally

_ .
forward position as last year. From amongst the mid-
weights, Cynricus, 4 yrs, Tightfit, 4 yrs, and Birmingham,

4 yrs, each carrying 7st 71b, are my choice ; and from those
lower in the scale I must recommend Reynard, 4 yrs, 7st
21b, Edmund Kean, 3 yrs, 7st, Lucy, 3 yrs, Est 101 b, Golden
Pippin, 3 yrs, Est 51b, Viroflay, 3 yrs, Est 41b, and Maggiore,
3 yrs, Est 41b. 'Were I obliged to make an absolute selection
of a couple they should be MAGGIORE and MosTnBELLo.
The Ham Stakes, for two-yr-olds, T.Y.C., will be worth
having a cut at, there being 22 subs at 100 sous each, h fc ;
but I know of nothing likely to overthrow the representa-
tive of Mr. Merry, who has two good horses in FoLia-
STONE and STARLIGHT.

The GratwickeStakes, for three-yr-olds, exhibits a de-
cline of seven in the number of horses engaged, compared
with last year, of which St. Albans, Ebony, Cape Flyaway,
and Sagitta are the only names of note. The first and last
take an untried allowance of Gib, which will ensure
the success of Sagitta (who will be the Whitehall represen-
tative in lieu of Cape Flyaway), as I believe St. Albans is
certain to be an absentee.

The Lavant Stakes, which last year fell to Thormanby,
may show us in Delhi a formidable candidate for next year's
Derby, and one equally so for the Oaks in Lady Chester-
field, the high-bred daughter of Stockwell and Meanee ;
though, as the distance is only half-a.mile, I must express
a preference for the two public horses, Walloon and the
Phemy colt, the former of whom I expect to see the winner,
despite his 31b penalty.
The Drawing-room Stakes, for three year olds, Craven
Course, can be set down as pretty open, from the remote
probability of our seeing either Thormanby or St. Albans
at the post, and Rattlebone, with no penalty, would stand a
first-rate chance of beating Buccaneer (51b extra), did he
not have the Goodwood Stakes and another engagement to
meet. Next to these Seclusion (now a stable- companion of
Buccaneer at Woolcot's) stands in the list, and we are com-
pelled to believe Woolcot's stable will carry off the prize.
In the Goodwood Derby, for three year olds, one mile
and a half, Rattlebone and Northern Light are the most
promising, as they have only to beat Thunderbolt, Aurora,
and Ebony, and of the two greys I prefer Mr. Merry's, the
horse having so amazingly improved during the last few
weeks.

For Wednesday three only of the six races in the list are
yet closed, to the principal of which, the Goodwood Stakes,
I shall first refer. Magnum, 4 yrs, Bst, will, I opine, be the
highest weighted horse found at the post on the afternoon
of Wednesday, and though by no means favoured by the
handicapper. I cannot think his chanco quite out, as at
Ascot he ran Avalanche to a head at 141 b, and they now
meet at 111 b, being 31b in favour of the horse, who has a
further pull in the distance, the Stakes course being half a
mile longer than that over which he contested the Queen's
Vase. The Bretby stable is certain to find something better
able to get the distance than Comforter, and neither Esk-
dale nor Petra are, after their recent performances, likely to
run, or if they do to give much trouble. Satellite, 4
yrs, 7st 101 b, stands next, and though we have only seen
him out twice this year his recent performance in the
Stamford Plate proves him to possess the first qualifica-
tion of a racehorse—speed ; and his ability to stay I do
not question, though others seem to doubt it, for in the
Chester Cup he travelled two-thirds of the distance in
a forward place until ho was impeded and all but
knocked down by getting into collision with The Rising
Sun. From the next pair on the list, Tuestall Maid and
Riseber, much danger need not be apprehended. For
Avalanche I have great respect ; but, good as she has proved
herself, I cannot believe her so superior as, taking the sex's
allowance into consideration, to almost give her year to
Satellite, much less to give it away altogether with 151 b.
to Flitch and Bumble Bee, and two years and 211 b. to
Tocher I Convivalist, 3 yrs, 6st 81b, from his recent defeat
of Syringe for the Guineas at Nottingham, must be held in
great respect, as it was evident he had a pull of some 71b in
hand in that race, and were Syringe in the race with 6st,
he would find many supporters. The lenient weights ap-
portioned to Flitch and Bumble Bee ought to bring them,
as well as Tocher, to the front at the finish.
GRIDIRON has been very infirm in the market ever since

Monday last. Some have it that he has lost his trial ; but
the same mishap befel The Wizard just before he won the
Two Thousand, and we pay but little heed to such a cir-
cumstance, even though it really took place, and shall have
the greatest confidence in Gridiron's pretensions if he but
reach the post safe and sound, unless some other objection
can be advanced, as the heavy stake put upon him has not
been shifted yet, and we have always looked upon him as a
first-class animal " when wanted."
To sum up, I expect to see
