There is an excellent four days' sport at Goodwood,
this week, which will unquestionably prcvide" both
backers and layers with ample food, for discussion
during the rest of the season, as we may anticipate
many of next year's Derby candidates will be putting
in an appearance for their two-year-old engagements
here, and shall also get a view of Taraban, and be
able to judge if there is any probability of the groat
Wizard of the North performing another of his celebrated
feats for the St. Leger with Mr. Bowes's gelding. With
a vivid recollection of the wonders he performed with
Gamester, Warlock, and Imperieuse, I shall not ignore the
horse's chance for the Great Doncaster Prize until he
has fulfilled his present engagement, for which purpose
he, with War and Westwick, passed through town on
Saturday afternoon.
On Tuesday, for The Lavant Stakes, Athena has in-
curred a penalty of 61b; Cock of the Walk, lnnerdale,
and Le Sarrazin have each 31b extra to carry, which I
think will prevent any of that division winning, my
impression being that ST. RONAN will beat them.
Amongst the competitors for the Rous Stakes will
doubtless bo TARABAN (31b extra), Viridis (31b extra),
and Bismarck (31b extra), whose chances I recom-
mend in the order named. BUMBLEKITE should have no
difficulty in winning The Gratwicke Stakes, and which-
ever Lord Stamford runs, IDALIA or HELVELLYN, should
be good enough to win his lordship The Ram Stakes. To
select the winner of the Stewards' Cup is like "looking
for a needle in a bottle of hay," bit the owners of Wolsey,
Mrs. Stratton, The Skipper, Battliyany, Actma, Langliam,
Jeannie Deans, Life Guardsman, Camellia, and the colt by
Longbow, dam by Double Cross, have good reason
to be satisfied. The actual winner I expect will be
WOLSEY. Tho Annesley stakes looks a good thing for
WESTWICK, who will stay over the course, which is nearly
three miles and a half. NAILOR, 4 years, is sure to beat
Weather Isle, 2 years, half a mile, as the owner of the
old horse is an accomplished artist in the pigskin, and
will have very little, if any, more weight to carry. SIGNET
and DEMONSTRATION will, I think, also win their respec-
tive matches. If VAUBAN is brought out for the Draw-
ing Room Stakes on Wednesday, he will win. The
Goodwood Stakes will furnish us with a dozen runners or
more. Of these Gomera, Lucifer, Tynodale, Clarice, Wild
Briar, Dulcimer, Viol, and Guy of Warwick have been
extensively backed. Blinkhoolie and Owain Glyndwyr
aro not likely to be amongst the starters on this occa-
sion, as the former is doing very little work, and the
latter is said to have broken a blond-vessel the other day
whilst doing his work. My decided impression is in favour
of JEZA.BEL and GOMERA. The Findon Stakes will most
likely go to MAMELUKE or ST. RONAN, as I am satisfied they
are both Derby horses, but as the Marquis's horse has
51b extra to carry the latter reads most trustworthy. I
think SIRUR DE CHARITE will win a Sweepstakes of 300
sous for 3-yr-old fillies, whilst the one for colts should go
to VAUBAN, and in the Goodwood Derby FIUPONNIER will
have no difficulty in beating her opponents.
It appears to be generally understood now that the Duke
The Goodwood Cup, on Thursday, will be won by
VAUBAN, next to whom I have most fancy for
REGALIA. FEODOR cannot very well bo beat
for the Racing Stakes. The Parson should win a
sweepstakes of 200 soya. The Sussex Stakes will pro-
bably be a walk over for Lord FALMOUTH'S represen-
tative. For the Third Year of the Fifteenth Bentinck Me-
morial Triennial Stakes I have most faith in Wnsrwicx.
For the Sixteenth Bentinck Memorial, in the absence
only of VAUBAN, I fancy TARABAN, and for the Seven-
teenth Bentinck Memorial, FORMOSA. The only other
race I think it desirable to allude to run on that day
is the Molecomb Stakes, which his Grace of Beaufort
should secure with EUROPA.

The Chesterfield Cup, which is amongst Friday's list of
races, will bo better judged of after the Stewards' Cup has
been run for.
