SPORTING NO rEs.

The Goodwood reunion terminated on Friday, after four
days' racing of the most gigantic dimensions, whilst the
patronage of the aristocracy was unusually large. At
least 250 horses were on the spot, the greater part of which
ran in their different engagements throughout the week,
and many of them have already made themselves illustri-
ous and known to fame. Of the youngsters Idalia, a filly
by Thunderbolt out of Dulcibelle, who won the Ham
Stakes, is sure to do her her noble owner
good service. Athena, although she recovered some
of her lost reputation by winning the Levant
Stakes, is not quite Al. RABICAN, winner of the Findon
Stakes, on the other hand, is a grand-looking two-year-
old, and has all the appearance of growing into a Derby
horse of the best quality, and those of your readers who
invest on him now will, I feel persuaded, have no cause
to regret it. The Parson does not seem to have improved
on his Spring form, but TREGEAGLE, a roan colt by Wild
Dayrell from Silverhair, who beat him and Formosa in a
canter for the Seventeenth Bentinck Memorial Triennial
Stakes, is another candidate for Darby honours, whose
chance should by ne means be overlooked, as on a previous
occasion he beat See Saw and Bismark in a canter. The
only other I think it necessary to allude to is Banditto, who
beat Europa by a head (she carrying 51b extra), thus prov-
ing himself a good deal better than his Ascot running indi-
cated. Of the throe-year-olds, Tibthorpo left a field of
thirty-four horses behind him for the Stewards' Cup as if
they were standing still, a convincing proof that he must
have hal something like 2st in hand, with which fact,
moreover, the public must have become acquainted or' hey
would never have taken such a ridiculous price as 3
to 1 about him with nearly forty starters. The Skipper,
who ran fourth, giving the winner 231 b, showed the
next best form in the race. D'Estournel went straight
as an arrow for the Rous Stakes, and woa easily, thus
effectually settling any pretensions Taraban may have had
for the St. Leger, although, to show the uncertainty of
horse-racing, it is within my recollection that Imperious°
won the Great Northern prize, after being beaten in a
scurry handicap, at York, a fortnight nearer to that
event than now. Narino won a £5O plate in good
style, and is worth following. Van Amburgh secured
the Drawing Room Stakes for his owner in a common
canter, but I cannot stand him for the St. Leger ; nor do I
think, unless either Hermit, Vauban, or Marksman fail to
put in an appearance for it, that ho is likely to be in the
first three. Vauban did not, to my notion, win the Cup so
easily as some of your contemporaries make out, still all
his performances have been of the most brilliant descrip-
tion since the Derby, and it may be that want
of pace---the excuse made by his party afterwards—
really was the cause of his defeat. At any rate he has
shown himself a thorough race horse on every occasion
since, and should Hermit come well to the post, I antici-
pate seeing a most exciting race between the pair. Marks-
man is also, I hear, doing remarkably well, and will doubt-
less display vary different form to whet he showed at
Ascot. Whoa Mr. Merry is in earnest and backs his
horses they are always very near the mark, and at this
time of writing I believe the colt by Dundee out of Shot is
the most trustworthy for "a situation." Last, though not
least, Tynedale requires notice at my hands, and I do not
hesitate to pronounce him ono of the best horses of his
year. His owner, too straightforward for the present day,
reserved him for the honour of winning the Cup,
thereby sacrificing the Stakes, which he would cer-
tainly have won had ho started for it. However,
he; has several other engagements this week, where-
in ho is sure to give a good account of himself.
Concerning the old horses, Gomora and Ostreger proved
themselves two clinkers. The first-named won the Stakes
in a cantor, and Mr. Thellussou's old horse squandered the
twenty-four horses opposed to him in the Chester-
field Cup in a better style, each of them r
carying
the welter weight of 9st, and giving lumps of
weight away to some of their oppOnents. The lat-
ter has unfortunately been sold by his owner to the Aus-
trian Government for 3,000 guineas, and has already been
delivered up to the agent, notwithstanding that an offer of
£l,OOO was made subsequent to the race by Mr. T. to
be off the contract. Wolsey is evidently an overrated
horse, and another proof of the fallacy of private trials in
many instances. lam fully convinced that distance is not
Regalia's forte, and that two miles is about the extent of
her capability to compass with success.
The management of the meeting under the supervision
of Captain Valentine was everything that could be de-
sired, and the advantage derived from Inspector Tanner's
presence in the Grand Stand will surely induce the
stewards of all other meetings throughout the country to
insist upon a similar arrangement being carried into effect.
The programme of the Deighton races is, as usual, a most
attractive one; but in some of the stakes, in consequence
the line obtained from the Goodwood running, many of
the competitors will be frightened away. Of the 17 ac-
ceptances for the Brighton Stakes, there are only three or
four with the slightest chance, and those are John Davis,
Amanda colt, Tynedale, and Vigorous. John Davis meets
the Amanda colt on 81b. better terms than in the Queen's
Plate at Goodwood, and as the latter only won by a
length, the old horse ought to beat him this journey.
Tynedale must have an extraordinary chance from his
Goodwood Cup running. Vigorous is turned loose, but it
is doubtful if the stable will back her in the face of a good
horse like the one just alluded to. The winner I expect
pect will turn up in either VIGOROUS on TTNEDALE.
The forfeits for the Marine Plate aro not declared until
this evening, but should FORTUNIO be amongst the
"contents," I should pin my faith on him. The Cham-
pagne Stakes will go to KNIGHT OF THE GARTER
or PHIPONNIER, most likely to the latter. as it is doubt-
ful if Captain Machell's horse will start for it. The Fif-
teenth Brighton Biennial Stakes 10-:ks a certainty for
Tr VAN
Amnunou, although I hear he is to be opposed by _
cadero. The Railway Stakes would afford PAo

The Brighton Club meeting takes p on T hursday,
when TROCAPERO, in the absence of Mr. Chaplin's pair,
ought to have n° difficulty in winning the Eighth Bien-
nial Stakes. So many horses have incurred penalties for
the Ninth Biennial Stakes that if he comes well to the post
I should recommend PEARL MOSQUE to be backed, as Blb
which SPECULUM has to carry extra ought to enable the
son of Newrninster to win.
There are some capital entries for Friday's and Satur-
day's racing at Lewes. Uufortnnately the acceptances for
several of the handicaps do not take place until Tuesday,
therefore I can only point to the chances of one or two
which seem best in. Fur the De Warrenno tlandicap HER
LADYSHIP and THE RETURNED ought to give a good ac-
count of themselves. In the Priory Stakes I think MILTON
(who is entitled to blb allowance, and all winners in the
race are penalised 31b and 71b, according to the amount),
is most trustworthy.
