SPORTING IN

THE GOODWOOD CUP DAY.
The Cup day is always regarded as the most interesting
of the Goodwood week, inasmuch as that occasion is in-
variably patronised by a very large and exceptionally bril-
liant company. We have already mentioned the fact of
the meeting being inaugurated by most disagreeable wea-
ther, and it remains for us to state that the morning of
Thursday was equally unpropitious, rain falling till half-
past twelve, when the weather improved, but the afternoon
remained cloudy until just before the race for the Cup,
when the sun shone forth, and the remainder of the day
was pleasant and enjoyable. Their Royal Highnesses
the Prince and Princess of Wales, Duke of Edinburgh,
Duke of Cambridge, and Prince Edward of Saxe Weimar
arrived just as the sport commenced, and the com-
pany both on the Stand and " Lawn" was very nume-
rous, the display of feminine beauty surpassing either
of the previous days, notwithstanding the miserable as-
' pect of the morning. The Cup was deprived of a
good deal of the interest usually attached to such a
valuable prize by the withdrawal of Gladiateur and
Regalia last week, and the field was further reduced by the
scratching of Windham on Tuesday, Cambuscan on Wed-
nesday, and Janitor at 12.10 yesterday (Thursday). During
the morning a canard was afloat respecting The Duke,
who, it was rumoured, would not start, and just before the
sport commenced as much as 100 to 8 was offered against
him, odds of 6to 4 being laid on Tourmalin. But while
many were anticipating the announcement of the with-
drawal of the horse, the followers of the Danebury stable
backed their champion so freely that he soon became as
good a favourite as Tourmalin, and eventually superseded
her in the quotations. The racing commenced at 1 o'clock
with the Zetland Stakes, which resulted in a match be-
tween Wild Briar and Beelzebub, and with odds of 2 to 1
on her, the filly won after a good race by a head. The
Sweepstakes of 200 sovs each, for 2-yr-old fillies, brought
out five of the six nominations, and the filly by Parmesan,
out of Harlequin's dam, was so freely backed that odds of
2 to 1 were laid on her before the flag fell, and she won
very easily by a length and a half. The Molecomb Stakes,
with nine runners, was considered at the mercy of Bis-
mark by his running on Wednesday in the Findon Stakes,
wherein he was beaten a- head only by Friponnier, but
finished in front of Marksman, and as ho was meeting Mr.
Merry's colt on precisely the same relative terms, it cer-
tainly looked good enough to lays odds of 6 to 4 on him,
at which price the betting opened, but bookmakers even-
tually accepted sto 4. The result of the race, so utterly at
variance with the running of Marksman on the previous
day, created the greatest astonishment ; - but his owner was
not so suprised, as he had insisted on the previous day that
Marksman was not running within pounds of correct form.
The Cup was the next race, and five of the seven animals
on the card went to the post, the absentees being No. 2
(Broomielaw) and No. 6 (Janitor), who, as already stated,
was struck out. Ou the hoisting of the numbers The Duke
became a tremendous favourite at even money, while Tour-
malin receded to 2 to 1. Moulsey was also backed by his:noble
owner and friends at 6 to 1, but Archimedes and Watch-
man were supported for only very small amounts. The
Duke and Tourmalin were narrowly scanned by their
backers, and their canters were watched with anxiety, but
neither in condition nor going could a fault be found. The
race is so fully detailed in the appended return of the run-
ning that any lengthened comments are unnecessary. The
pace was very slow for a mile and a half, which must have
suited the old horses, but the raco for the last half mile
resolved itself into a match between The Duke and Tour-
malin. From the distance a close contest appeared immi-
nent, but the fine speed of The Duke in the last hundred
yards enabled him to cut down his opponent, and amidst
tremendous cheers from his backers he passed the post a
length in advance of the baron's filly. The remainder of
the racing was interesting, but it does not require men-
tion here. The following is a full return of the run-

ning :
ZETIAND STAKES Of 100 SOVS each, 11 ft, for 3-yr-olds;
colts Bst 101 b, fillies Bst bib ; untried stallions allowed

got her head in front, and won, after a rattling finish, by
a head.

Mr. Lunde's Thorsday, Bst 71b (Osborne) 5
Betting-2 to lon the Harlequin's dam filly, 7to 1 agst
Haidee, and 8 to 1 agst Charming May. The favourite
waited on Haidee and the Toxophilite filly to the distance
where the last mentioned gave way, the favourite and
Haidee coming on side by side to the commencement of the
enclosure, at which point Mr. Savile's filly came away, and
won very easily by a length and a half. The Toxophilite
filly was a bad third, and Thorsday last.

1 (at first 2 to 1) agst Freemason.
Bismark, on the extreme right, took a slight lead of
Marksman, who was running wide on the lower ground;
Pericles, Mandrake, and Ettrick, in close company, were in
front of the others in the centre of the course. About 200
yards from home, Bismark being in trouble, Marksman
improved his position, and at the half distance came away
and won very easily by a length ; two lengths separated
second and third ; Ettrick was fourth, Red Shoes fifth,
Milan sixth, Mandrake last.
RACING STAKES of 50 sovs each, for 3-yr-olds ; colts Bst 101 b,

Betting-6 to 4 agst Staghound, sto 2 agst Langham,
3 to 1 agst War, 8 to 1 agst any other.
War made play, followed by Langham and Apsley, the
favourite lying off, and they ran thus till within a quarter
of a mile of home, when Langham and Apsley closed with
War, the first-mentioned taking the lead at the distance,
and winning cleverly by a length ; a head only divided
second and third, the favourite being beaten off.

scription of 20 sovs each, h ft; the owner of the second

Betting—Even agst The Duke-2 to 1 agst Tourmalin
—6 to 1 agst Moulsey-100 to 7 agst Archimedes-25 to 1
agst Watchman. After taking their preliminary canter
the competitors paraded in front of the Stand before being.
conducted to the starting-post. At the first attempt Mr
M'George succeeded in despatching them on very, even
terms, but after going a few strides Tourmalin showed in
front ; before reaching the Stand, however, she was pulled
back, and Watchman took up the running at a miserable
pace, followed by Tourmalin and The Duke, Moulsey, o,
the left, being slightly in the rear of the Marquis of Hast-
ings' horse. With the exception of Archimedes dropping
farther in the rear as they ascended the hill round the
clump, little variation occurred until within a mile of home,
where Lord Stamford's horse swerved completely round,
and could not be induced to go farther ; Watchman was
here passed by Tourmalin, who, in a few strides farther,
also gave way to The Duke and Moulsey. As they came
into the straight Tourmalin had a clear lead, but the Duke
gradually closed with her as they approached the distance,
and, answering gamely to Fordham's resolute call, he
assumed the lead a hundred yards from home, and won
cleverly by a length ; Moulsey just cantered past the post,
and was placed third; and Watchman, who was pulled up

distance, where Tho Star and the favourite quitted the
others, but the first mentioned won easily by a length ;
Salliet was a bad third, Brick was fourth, and Confederate

MR. 13BIGIIT AND THE DUBLIN REFORMERS.—
The reformers of Dublin are procuring signatures to a
letter inviting Mr. Bright to a banquet on a large scale in
that city. It is intended to obtain the names of the mem-
bers of country town councils also. The list is headed by
Mr. J. F. Maguire, M.P., Mr. J. B. Dillon, M.P., the
O'Donoghuo, M.P., Sir John Gray, M.P., and Mr, N. D.
Murphy, M.P. The Lord Mayor elect of Dublin and a
number of magistrates and merchants have likewise signed
the document. It is purposed to secure the largest avail-
able building for the celebration, and to invite other lead-
ing English politicians to take part in tho demonstration.
The terms of the invitation aro these :—" We, the under-
signed, admiring your public character, and grateful for
your eloquent advocacy of the rights of our country, re-
spectfully request your acceptance of a public banquet at,
Dublin On as early a day as your convenience win admit.
