GOODWOOD RACES. --WEDNESDAY.
The Stakes-day was somewhat dreary. Rain
had fallen ,heavily throughout the night, and it
continued, with sharp gusts of wind, until a late
'hour in the morning. The dull old city of Chi-
chester looked duller than ever in the driving rain,
for even that temporary activity which was wont
to be imparted to it in the race week was not dis-
cernible. The inhabitants seemed to gaze with 4
grim satisfaction on the few visitors who huddled
for a short shelter under doorways, or who, damp
and woe-begone, took their seats inside om (Alai- es,
and watched the large drops course adown the
window-glasses until the proper complement of
. passengers could be obtained. At the railway sta-
tion, the number of vehicles was less than that on
preceding aniversaries of the day ; the customary
"block" of flys and coaches at the Cross not once
occurred, and a lack of visitors caused a diminu-
tion in the bawling and shouting which was for-
merly sustained with such stentorian effect by
excited coachmen and their energetic "bucks."
The characteristics of Goodwood races—the
"glories" which are associated with the ineettag
—the broad sunshine, the gay company, and the
exhilarating ride through pleasant lanes and the
beautiful park—had disappeared. The roads were
heavy and sloppy, and people went to the course
cooped up. in closed carriiges, and encased from
head to foot in waterproof clothing. Speculators
pur.ued their calling in a crowd under the 'portico
of the Grand Stand, the general visitors thronged
the saloons, the embankment. under the tre, a was
deserted, and ladies picked their way daintily over
the sodden grays in the enclosure as dishevelled and
as miser4ble as if they were attending a CI ernortie
fête. As the time appointed for the commtnce
of the pree edin s apps oared, the: OT
brightened, but the attno:pfiere was raw anedatrip,
and the inclement weather produced a marked effect
oil the attendance of general company. Only a very
few carriages occupied lhe allotted space, whilst,
by the rails outside the Grand Stand, were
sparsely scattered some men and bls of the
peasant class. There was a group of holiday folk
on the Trundle Hill, and the only itinerant bawl
which made a liv ly din was that composed of two
Or three little boys, who made a most musical and
most melancholy noise with tin whistles and a
drum.

TIIE ATLANTIC CABLE.

The following letter hAs been addressed to the
Editor of the Times :

" correspondent's amusing accept
;of his adventures on. jaoata. the Agameninciidind
yesterday's gale have set .nie tits
Atlantic telegraph. • I am neither sailor- nor
engineer, but I am an old fis'ierroan, and the lay-
ing of the telegraph interests me becatse the opera-
tion somewhat resembles uiy favourite sport ; in
scale and result it More resembles Thoi's unsuccess-
ful angling fur the sea-serpent than my fisliiisg. I
have hauled up many a cod through .60 fathoms of
the Atlantic. I have left many a good hook fast, in
the bottom of the sea, and I have often watched
with anxious eyes a day's provision for a party
embodied in one big salmon capering in a Norwe-
gian river at the end of a line that a dead weight of
ten pounds would break.
" I have secured my fish in spite of difficulties.
Thor lost his probably because rods and reels
were not then invented. I landed mine because
I used both. A. hint may be taken from fish-
•inet. in conducting similar operations on a larger
scale. The problem is the same in both cases, and
may be thus stated :—How to pay out a line with-
out breaking it. If a strong, active salmon, weigh-
ing 301 b. or 401 b., can be dragged from a roaring
torrent with a thin fishing-line by a hook fast in a
bit of weak skin, it is worth inquiring how it is
done. it is by easing the strainwith the spring of
the rod. Few fish would be landed if the reel alone
were used to piny them ; and a reel nnly is used in
laying the Atlantic telegraph. If a hand-line fisher
wants to break his line when fast in the bAtom, be
does that which (so far as I understand the matter)
was done with the Atlantic cable. He uses his
hand for a break, pulls the line against the side of
the boat, and the rise of the sea snaps it without
any exertion on the part of the man. Hitherto we
have succeeded best in breaking the new line, and.
we seem to have bra ken it where a bandline
usually breaks, near the bottom or near the boat.
It seems to me that something contrived to act

The owners of the three animals that Warted for
the first race were certainly bold to put down 3001.
each for them. Lord of Lorn, Clydesdale, and
Gourd were the competitors, and it will be thus
seen that the field comprised "a bad 'un, a lame 'nu,
and a blind'uu." Lord of Lorn won easily enough.
For the second race the favourite was defeated,
and Frederick landed in triumph the colours of
Lord W. Powlett—one of the stewards, • and a
nobleman whose consistent and staunch patronage
of the sport has gained for him a vast popularity on
the Turf. Again was the first favourite defeated
for the Handicap Plate, and for the sue.arediug
event, the Goodwood Derby, a new item in the
programme, the backers of horses had a third turn
of ill-luck, for Happy Lend, who was not backed
for sixpence, won with the most ridiculous ease.
The fortune of the bookmakers was reversed uy the
principal event of the day, the " Stakes," which
was won by Roman Candle, who had, since his
success at Liverpool, grown in favour up to the
very minute of starting, and who was at last backed
for an immense sum of money at evens against the
field. Many persons, however, attribute his win-
ning to an accident, for Fulbeck broke down a dis-
tance from home, and, but for this mishap, he
might have snatched the victory frouthe favourite,
who, however, did not escape scathless, for he cut
his leg severely. The race was a straggling one,
and two animals, Zonave and Esperauce, bolted at
d fferent points. Target and Queenstown merely
ran for the forfeits for the 300 sovs. Sweepstakes ;
and the Handicap Plata brought out eight runners
and occasioned a very pretty race. By the way the
handicapper had a difficul y in Weighting Wo
.d-
-burn, an American bred horse, which they deemed
so bad that they actually turned him loose, allow-
ing his owner to put any weight on him he liked.
The colt, however, did not start.
Star of the East won the Drawing-room Stakes,
and with that event the sport was concluded.
J ust before the last race the heavy clouds almost
entirely dispersed, the sun came out, and the
evening was clear and bright, putting a ple.sant
termination to a day which commenced most in-
auspiciously.

Very little delay occurred in deipatobing the horses
from the post. Tney got away on the first attempt,
Zouave in advance, followed by Night Ranger, Scribble r,
_Pensioner, Esperance, and Rosati, in a cluster, the'
favourite in their wake, with Orchehill, Special Licenc-,
and Folheck in the roar. As they turned into th-
Craven Course Fulbeck was upwards of 100 yards beleed
everything, but no noteworthy change was made in the
positions of the leading horses until after rounding the
Clump, when Night Ranger went up to Zenave, who
bolted a few strides further on, leaving Lifeboat in close
pursuit of the favourite, with St. Clare, Matlas, and
Esperance next, Roman Candle (who had been lying in
the middle of the ruck) and Fulbeck nearing the leading
horses as they ascended the Lill. On reaching the top,
Esporance bolted, and Fulbeck rushed up to Night
Ranger, who retired, leaving the EForn horse to carry
on the running down the hill. In the bottom, Matins,
Orchehill, Rosati, Roman Candle, and Lifeboat were
the immediate followers of Fulbeck, and on coming
to the distance, the favourite took his place at Fnl-
becles side, running with much gameness, or laziness,
for Bray was repeatedly compelled to use whip to
keep him going. Just before reaching the Grand Stand,
Roman Candle headed Fulbeck, who broke down
almost immediately afterwards. and was beaten by A
length and a-half ; six lengths between the second and
third ; Rosati was fourth, Lifeboat, fifth, St. Clare

like a fishing-rod might enable John Bull to land
America at the next cast if this attempt at crosslino
fishing for continents should fail. t would suggest
that for laying wires in a rough sea the last contact
with the ship should be on a spring with consider-
able play. Two long tapering spars might be rigged
at the stern along the bulwarks, with a pulley be-
tween for the cable to run over ; or two large C
springs with a crossbar and a pulley, might take
Vie place of the davit,,. At the rise of the wave
the springs would ease the strain on the cable till
the paying-out apparatus had time to act, just as a
fishing rod eases a line when a fish is jei king at it.
As matters are now arranged the cable runs on the
side of the ship, and when she rises to the sea it
probably snaps with a jerk before the reel inside
feels the pull, just as a castii,g-line is broken by
lowering the point of the rod when a fish is in a

flurry.

HEALTH OP LOIVDON DUBING THE

WEKK.

. .- (From. the Report of the Registral!--Gaer#l.)
In the last weekly report it was shown that the
public health of Loudon had undergone some im-
provement in consequence of the fall of tempera-
ture ; and it will be seen from the present return
that that favourable result was maintained, and
was more decided, in the week ending last Sa. urday,
July 24. In the first week of the present month
the deaths were 1,191, in the next 1,173, and last
week they were 1,132. The mean weekly tempera-
tures were in the same periods 55.9 deg., 66 4.deg.,
and 62.9 deg., which are, on the average, less by
2.5 dog. than those of the five weeks preceding.
In the ten years 1848-57 the average number of
deaths in .the-weeks corresponding with last week
was 1,061 ; but, as the deaths now returned occur-
red in a•population which has annually increased,
they c in only be compared with the average after
it has been raised in proportion to the increase—a
correction which will make it 1,167. The deatbs
of last week were therefore less by. 35 than the
estimated number. •
The deaths referred to cholera in the third week
of July, 1849, were 678, in the corresponding week
in that of last year 28, and

If the deaths of last week had been according to
that which may be termed. "the healthy rate," de-
rived from those 'districts in England where the
mortality is least, they would have been 799. The
excess arising from circumstances that constitute
the comparative insalubrity of London is 333.
The morality from zymotic diseases in the ag-
gregate shows no increase on that of the previous
aba
week, but rather a slight diminution ; the deaths
under this head were in the two weeks respectively
