WOOL MARKET.

The public sales of colonial wool have commenced briskly,
with a large attendance of buyers. The biddings have
ruled active, at Id to Id per lb. advance. Sydney and
Moreton Bay—Mean sheep's, is 81d to 2s 3d; scoured,
extra, 2s 3d to 2s 10d ; lambs', is 9d to is lld ; pieces, is
2d to is 9d. , Port Philip—Clean sheep's, is 91d to 2s 21d;
scoured, 2s 21d to 26 7d ;
is 81d to 2s ld ; do.
scoured, 2s 4d to 2s 7d ; slips, is 3d to is 61d; unwashed,
is ld to is lid. Van Diemen's Land—Clean sheep's, is
7d to 2s ld; lrmbs', is 81d to 2s Old; grease, is ld to is
lid. Adelaide—Scoured, is 10d; grease, 10d to is lid.
New Zealand—Clean sheep's, 2s to 2s ld; pieces, is 6 d;

ing, and is the reason why the gathering is deno-
minated " glorious." At Brighton,o Worthing,
Bognor, and, indeed, thoughout "the long wash"
,of the Sussex coast have lodgings been in brisk

demand, and accommodation for man and beast is

scarcely obtainable. This afternoon the room at
the " Corner" will be drawn blank, for the last

assemblage of active turfites took place this morn-
ing in the city, but business was not pursued with

much energy, and the bookmakers seemed of the
phantom school, and frightened even at the sound
themselves had made. I scarcely know how to dis-

cuss, in the space which is at my disposal,
the various items in the programme. The
task, however, must be undertaken, albeit I feel,

as Mr. Tennyson somewhere expresses it, inclined
to course about the central wish, "like doves about

a dove cote, until I settle there." Still Ido not feel
disposed to enter into a long statistical account of
former Goodwood Meetings, to trace the rise of
them from the mere yeomanry races which formed
the " nucleus" of the present gathering ; to take a
retrospective glance at the reforms which were in-
troduced by Lord George Bentinck, to refer elabo-
rately to the Cossack, Van Tromp, Weatherbit, and
Annandale encounter, for they are matters of turf
history. The early rise and progress of the meet-
ing have been clearly traced in a very interesting
little book written and published by Mr. Mason,
the obliging printer of the cards and to that
volume—if it be obtainable—l refer the reader
who may be sufficiently enamoured of "Glorious
Goodwood," to induce him to study its antecedents.
The minor items in the programme I shall touch
upon with the most convenient brevity and the
most important engagements do not require a very
lengthened— albeit they must have a very careful
examination.

The Stewards' Cup furnishes what the Mock
Duke, in the Honeymoon, would call an intricate
case for the judges. The cogniscenti—whoever they
may be—will perhaps experience much difficulty
in making a favourite, and Mr. Clark's opinion is
most likely to be opposed to theirs. The top
weights cannot be deemed out of the race. Lord
Nelson has a tremendous dash of speed ; and the
remembrance of a race he won at Newmarket in

the spring compels me to place some faith in him
for this event. Theodora, however, is weighted
with unquestionable leniency, and in her I am in-
duced to repose undivided confidence ; indeed, if the
Handicapper had placed an additional Vbs. on her,
I should have selected her.

Mayonaise, with her Glbs. allowance, surely
ought to be capable of winning the Gratwicke
Stakes. Her most formidable opponent will be
Ticket-of-Leave.

Several fashionably-bred two-year-olds are en-
tered for the Ham Stakes, and Tom Bowline will,
it is said, be amongst the starters. This horse
appears to me so promising, and so likely to train
into a first-class animal, when I saw him at Lord
Derby's sale last year, that I am induced to adhere
to my first love, and still to deem him worthy of
my allegiance.
Toxophilite will, of course, win the 300 Sovs.
Sweepstakes, and afford the spectators the gratifi-
cation of seeing his owner's colours brought past
the post. This sight, however, is not likely to
become so rare, if " Tox" remains well, and if
Lord Glasgow's other purchases thrive under John
Scott's management.
The scratching of Harlestone for the Stakes has
removed the only dangerous three-yr-o:d which
was left in. Although Leamington has in accord-
ance with the Chester Cup scale much the best of
the weights, yet his heavy impost he will find diffi-
cult to struggle home with. Lifeboat has shown
so much form this year that I am scarcely inclined
to select any other animal to represent my interest.
To him I shall, therefore, assign the first place,
reserving Worcester for a " cockboat."
Ralpho is said to be doing strong work, and he
may, therefore, be brought out for the Drawing
Room Stakes.

The Promised Land ought surely to win the
Goodwood Derby.

I shall send my notes on the Cup and Friday's
racing from Goodwood on Wednesday. My
present fancy for the former is for the " in-
tended" of W. Day's. Union Jack is described as
the best of the French three-year-olds, which we
described as a bad lot.
