GOODWOOD, 1866.

The facetious correspondent of the Racing Times
writes on the above subject as follows :
I generally photograph anything of note coming
under my observation, and so insure correctness of
illustration, not usually attainable by other means ;
thus, in speaking of Goodwood, I abstain from pre-
fixing " Glorious," " Gorgeous," " Princely," or
other fulsome adjectives adopted by reporters and
advertisers and describe the locality simply as it is.
Situate about five miles from the ancient city of
Chichester, in au extensive and nicely wooded
domain, the house is an old-looking one, well
sheltered from all points except the south, and no
doubt affords comfortable quarters for such as are
lucky enough to get invited, of which number I
did not happen to form one, through some unac-
countable mistake of his Grace. The park is too
far from London, and no amount of cheap trains
will ever tempt the Cockney public to exhibit them-
selves at Goodwood in force—in fact, they are not
wanted ; and if they were, Epsom, Ascot, and
Hampton present far greater attractions for the
general masses. A journey by the ten o'clock ex-
press on Thursday last brought me to Chichester
very comfortably in two hours and a quarter, hav-
ing stopped previously at Drayton, where at least
sixty traps of all sorts, from large London
omnibuses downwards, were placed outside the
station ; 10s. was the moderate figure asked

for the transit of one person, so tliat several
gentlemen returned to their seats in the train,
and probably not more than fifty stayed to be-
come victims of extortion, less than one for every
vehicle. At Chichester the same thing was tried
on, but with very limited success, for I contrived to
get a cast in a wagonette for half-a-crown, about
double that sum being the general tariff. The road
is on an ascent the whole distance, and the views
from the park and surrounding downs are of a most
charming description. The course consists chiefly
of made ground, originally formed at considerable
expense. The Grand Stand is a large permanent
structure, shaded at the back by, and approached

through, a plantation ; at 'one end,— and in
the front, is an extensive space, and at the
other end a lawn, chiefly for ladies, who
either promenade or occupy seats beneath the
trees on an elevated slope. This scene on a fine day
is extremely novel, and the youth and beauty of
England's daughters are displayed to the greatest ad-
vantage. The energy of fashionable milliners must
have been extensively taxed, and a sight like the
lawn on a Cup-day cannot be excelled, or, as far
as my experience goes, not even approached, else-
where. The loud, discordant notes of the betting
fraternity from the ring proper on one side and the
outside ring on the other, formed a strange contrast
to the galaxy of rank and fashion, foremost amongst
whom was the Princess of Wales penned up in the
enclosure between them. To the left of the stand
is a large hill called the Trundle, on the slopes of
which were small parties, who had a far better view
of the races than if placed in the Stand, as it commands
the long run in the whole distance. It had,
however, a barren appearance on Thursday. Oppo-
site the stand, and extending about a couple of hun-
dred yards, the railings of the course are placed on
the verge of a steep embankment, so that only one
row of persons can remain. At the end of the lawn
the slope continues, and in small wooden erections,
and under the trees, are placed the usual strong
supply of betting men, with all sorts of names and
residences printed on large cards, one of the most
conspicuous of which was " Church and Good,
London." This had a curious effect at first eight,

the names being typical of things which I should
rarely expect to find in such quarters. Next suc-
ceeded eight small booths, at only one of which
dinner was announced. Brown's was called " first-
class ;" Bridger and Boulter came next ; Collins,
of Bosham, possessed a couple, and Deller, of
Harmsworth, three ; but they did not appear to
command anything like a run. Two of the booths
were announced for saleo with a " living" van,
which must have been a curiosity in its way.
Remove the lawn and its aristocratic attend-
ants, and Goodwood could only be regarded as
an ordinary country race meeting. I am not
now speaking of the character of the stakes, nor
their influence over greater events, but merely
of the locality ; of the racing as a whole the less
probably that is said about it the better. There
was a singular absence of garnbling—no cards, dice,
iron rings, thimbles, garters, or any of the old tricks
upon yokels., The only chance of being victimised
was by about half-a-dozen young fellows, each on
a stool, offering to sell very common leather purses
for a shilling, containing various sums of money,
from half-a-crown upwards, but I did not see
any person invest their coin. A very marked degree
of politenem pervaded the police, who, infitead of

rudelyshouting " Move on," as at Epsom and Hyde-
park, blandly said, "Pass away, gentlemen ! pass
away," and the course was cleared for each race in
about three minutes without the least difficulty,
thus insuring punctual starts by the card. The
sporting press has lately rendered good service in
cautioning the public against the welching frater-
nity. There were plenty of them about, both within
and out of the ring, but I did not hear of any vic-
tims, so that writers who have continuously exposed
these scoundrels may congratulate themselves on
the success of their labours; but whether the welcher
is better or worse than his fellow schemer the Pro-

am quite sure advice would never be sought in such
channels. It was only natural to expect that

Strand, where " stamps, Scotch and Irish notes
and money orders, will be taken." We have no
doubt whatever of this fact, always provided there
are any Scotsmen or Paddies foolish enough to
send them. Here is a new idea where the simple
business of taking odds is treated as a mystery.
" Excelsior ! Backers of horses learn a lesson.
Throw no more of your money away upon worth-
less tipsters ; let science and self-dependence guide
you in the mystic art of betting," which turns out
to be a " mathematical" system, although we do not
find either from general history or tradition that
Euclid ever put anything upon racing certainties,
or indeed backed a horse ; however, somebody
seems to have had faith, for a letter is copied in the
advertisement which purports to enclose a cheque
for £5O for information received, as the police say ;
and as .no charge is made for what is called in the
testimonial the " philosopher's stone," such parties
as see fit may obtain the good thing by applying
to Mr. Montgomery, in Willow-walk East, S.E.
No number is given, but any lover of logarithms
can work out the problem himself.
Whatever you may have done at Goodwood,
don't forget Brighton and Lewes, which will be
most attractive. Sinclair says he told all that
" Black Prince was a duffer," and if anybody will
be so obliging as to send him 13 stamps he will
forthwith supply ten winners at each place. This is
somewhat perplexing, because an advertiser, fol-
lowing immediately, tells us that without the aid of a
tipster anybody can win from £5 to £5OO weekly, for
which useful information half-a-crown in stamps
will suffice. A " testimonial" is also included,
short and clear, from a gentleman at Sheffield, who
says he has won £2OO in a couple of months. G.
Harvey, Esquire (so he calls himself) is the party
who will favour you with the valuable information
how to recruit your shattered resources every Sa-
turday evening by securing either £5 or £5OO,
which you please.
All parties who are settled on lists, not betting
sts, but as contributors or shareholders in defunct

joint stock companies, and have heavy calls made
upon them, ought to study these easy methods of
acquiring wealth. The "General Merchant" of
Guernsey is again patronising the sporting press,
but for the convenience of persons who cannot spare
£l9 all at once even to get a prize of £106,800, the

" splendid speculations" are divided into four, and
he strongly recommends each as offering every pros-
pect of success. In the first, with £l, you may
realise £20,000 ; with £2, you may realise £26,000;
£B, £37,000 ; and £lO, £44,800. The stakes are
increased to £2l, and the product to £127,800.
With all these appliances my readers, who have
never visited that part of the great downs of Sussex,
may surely obtain sufficient, from one or other
source, during the ensuing twelve months, to
enable them to pass a week at Worthing or Chi-
chester, and enjoy comfortably the great Goodwood
Meeting.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE,

BETTING IN LONDON SATURDAY.

The annual sojourn of . a fortnight on the Sussex coast
has of late years become as popular with bookmakers as
was the " Grand Tour" among the elite of a bygone age ;
so that at the present moment Brighton and the adjacent
watering-places are filled with professionals enjoying the
fruits of their recent successful campaigns, and bracing
their energies for the great autumn events. The conse-
quence was that to-day, instead of the " old familiar faces"
a few stragglers only put in an appearance at the clubs,
and as there is no race of importance in the immediate
future, scarcely any business was transacted, the extent of
the day's proceedings being, in fact, represented by tho few
subjoined quotations :

",CORRECT CARD OF THE TIORSES."—On Friday, July 28th,
1848, one Mathias Elderton, a notorious list crier, do,
parted this life. To many of our sporting readers this cele-
brated man was doubtless well known, but to others who had
not the pleasure of listening to his pleasantries, the follow-
ing anecdotes map be read with some interest. Poor Jerry,
for such was the name ho was known by at the different
races, was the prince of impudence and of confident assux..
ance, but remarkably pleasant and good humoured.
Sometimes he was dressed in an admiral's old coat and
cocked hat, his fingers were profusely ornamented with
rings and ho wore an eye-glass. He accomplished WA
purpose by the most barefaced but agreeable effront Jen
and he was a good sample as to how far the quanty of
assurance would carry a man. He would tap a ne:olematt
or gentleman on the shoulder, and ask in a plea' .gut tone,
" Oh, how do you do, my lord, how's my lady, I hope she's
quite well ?" His perfect self-confidence almostcommanded
a pleasant. reception. Some persons considered Jerry a
little queer in his upper storey, but they were never more
mistaken. He would stop the highest personage in the realm.
George the Fourth has been known to take him by the
hand, and Jerry frequently said that he was his very par-
ticular fat friend. Jerry made money, but he had an ex-
traordinary way of spending it. He would sometimes
turn huckster, and deal in various commodities, such as
silks, watches, &c. On ono occasion an extensive robbery
had taken place at Manchester, and the very house
whore Jerry stopped was searched by the police for the
stolen property, which unfortunately resembled that which
he had purchased and paid for. Jerry not having had the
precaution to take a bill of the goods, suspicion was
awakened, and poor Jerry was apprehended and lodged
in prison. A generous sympathy was awakened
amongst the members of the turf, from the highest to the
lowest, each and every-ono of his patrons considered ha
was incapable of committing theft, and the old Squi•ee
said " We'll have him out." When Jerry was brought
up for examination two carriages full of gentlemen drew
up at the Now Inn. The magistrates instantly listened to
these honourable and generous advocates. A mistake had
been made and Jerry was instantly set at liberty. Tho
gentlemen at once subscribed a stake, and Jerry resumed
his avocation with increased spirit. Ho was well known
on every race course and at the corner. He was strictly
honest and liberal to his fellows, by whom he was highly.
esteemed. At length he met with a sad and fatal acci-
dent, which ended in his death. On Wednesday, July
26th, 1848, in the Goodwood race week, in pursuing his
calling, he placed his foot on the step of a stage coach at
Chichester, and was handing up the race cards to some
gentlemen on the roof. The horses excited by the throng
turned round suddenly, the vehicle upset, and unfortu-
nately fell upon poor Jerry. The injuries he sustained
were considerable. He was conveyed to Chichester In-
firmary, but mortification ensued, which terminated in his
death. A sum of £7O was subscribed, and handed over to
his widow. " Alas poor Jerry !"

The Austro-Prussian Peace Negotiations.

The Memorial Diplomatique, upon the authority
of a correspondent at Vienna, publishes the follow-
ing as an exact analysis of the preliminaries of peace
agreed upon between the two great belligerent
Powers :

" Their Majesties the Emperor of Austria and the
King of Prussia, after declaring that they are ani-
mated by a desire to restore to their peoples the
blessings of peace, appoint as their plenipotentiaries--
" His Apostolic Majesty—Count Karolyi and
Baron de Brenner ; and the King of Prussia—.
Count Bismark, who have agreed upon the follow-
ing points :

" The integrity of the Austrian monarchy, with
he exception of Venetia, shall be maintained.

" The King of Prussia shall withdraw his troops
from the Austrian territory as soon as a peace shall
have been signed.
" The Emperor of Austria recognises the disso-
lution of the Germanic Confederation as it hereto-
fore existed, and accepts the new organisation of
Germany without the participation of Austria ; he
under takes to recognise the closer Federal rela-
lations (die engexn Bundesbande) which the King
of Prussia shall establish to the north of

the line of the Main ; he also accepts the
formation by the States of the South of a
separate Confederation, and that the national con..
nection with the North shall be reserved for future
arrangement between the two Confederations.
" His Apostolic Majesty transfers to the King of
Prussia all the rights which he had acquired by the
Treaty of Vienna of 30th October over the Duchies
of Schleswig and Holstein, with the reservation that
the population of Northern Schleswig, if they should
express such a desire by a free vote, should be re-
united to Denmark.

" The war indemnity is fixed at 40 million thalers.
From this sum 15 million shall be deducted as the
equivalent of the amount which the Emperor of
Austria, by virtue of the Treaty of 1864, would still
be entitled to claim from the Elbe Duchies, and five
millions as the equivalent of the provisioning of the
Prussian troops which still continue to occupy the
Austrian provinces until the conclusion of peace.
There will therefore remain a sum of 20 million
thalers to be paid in specie.
" The King of Prussia, at the request of Austria,'
consents to allow the kingdom of Saxony to retain
its present territorial limits, but he reserves to him-
self the power of settling by a special treaty to be
concluded with the King of Saxony the question of
the war indemnities as well as the future position
which Saxony shall hold in the Northern Confede-
ration.

" The Emperor of Austria will recognise the new
territorial arrangements effected by the King of
Prussia in the north of Germany, and also any ter-
ritorial changes which he may complete.
" The King of Prussia engages to obtain the ad-
hesion of his ally of Italy to the preliminaries of
peace and to the armistice as soon as the Emperor
of the French shall have declared that the kingdom
of Venetia is at the disposition of the King of Italy.
The Emperor of Austria and the King of Prus-
sia, after the exchange of ratifications of the present
.preliminaries has been completed, shall appoint
Plenipotentiares, who shall meet at a place to be
hereinafter selected, in order to conclude a peace
upon the bases of the present preliminary conven-
tion, and to negotiate upon questions of detail.
" For these purposes, after having agreed upon
the present preliminaries, the high contracting parties
shall conclude this armistice between the Austrian
and Saxon military forces on the one part, and the
Prussian military forces on the other part.
" The conditions of this armistice shall be settled

immediately.
" The armistice shall commence from Aug. 2, and
the present suspension of arms shall be prolonged
until that date.
gc There shall also be concluded at the ptrsjiteaseptidnisatts:oof,
of the negotiations an armistice with Bavaria, and
tocona-s
Gen. Baron de Manteuffel shall be required
Aug,clude 2, upon
et obascoeroefntchee amlsioliftraorn;
with Baden, Wurtemburg, and Hesse-Darmstadt
soon as these States shall require.,,

LONDON, MONDAY, AUGUST 6, 1866.

Those who wish to peruse a specimen of self-
sufficiency and arrogance will do well to pay par-
ticular attention to the speech that the King of
PRUSSIA delivered at the opening of the Prussian
Chambers yesterday. Of course every one ex-

pected that there would be a great deal of gratifica.

tion expressed at the recent events that have taken

place in the Prussian campaign, but only those I
initiated with the secrets of the Berlin Cabinet
could have thought that there would be quite such
an exhibition of effrontery. All that has occurred
during the last few years suddenly assumes a
coleur de rose, and all the follies, shortcomings,
and offences of his Government are henceforth to
be looked upon as successes, and regarded with
homage. It is an ingenious dodge on his part to
make the most of his situation, and to take advan-
tage -of the eclat which just now surrounds the
Prussian arms ; but when we look upon his words
and analyse them, we cannot but see the superficial
character of his congratulations. If there is one
thing more than another which is reprehensible in
this address, it is the very unbecoming-manner in
which constant reference is made to the blessings
that Providence has vouchsafed to Prussia. It is
quite irreverent to talk after this fashion, and as
for the meaning of it despoilers of States, and
tyrants, and oppressors all over the world have
quite as much right to declare that it is by the
favour of Heaven that they have gained their
cherished objects as King WILLIAM can have for
asserting that it is by the direct interposi-
tion of Providence that he has outraged the laws of
nations and indulged in every selfish and grasping
motive that suggested itself to him. It is difficult,
however, to feel much regret for the Prussians
notwithstanding their position, because they have
brought upon themselves the loss of freedom, and
the domestic oppression to which they will be sub-
ject when the KING has brought his glorious war to
'a termination by his honourable peace. They were
willing and delighted even that the Danes should
be despoiled, and now they rejoice at the subversion
of Austrian authority and the overthrow of the
finances of the Minor States. This feeling will
grow upon them until they are restrained by no
scruples of conscience and no considerations of

-
justice. - -- --
The KING has already taken the first step
of the way he means to tread, and has actually I ,
requested the Deputies to grant an indemnity I
to his Government, for which application
will be duly made, for having carried on the ad_ 1
ministration without a law regulating the Budget. 1
It was further intimated by the limo that speed
would be necessary for this purpose in order that 1
they might the better enter into the new regulations 1
that would be rendered necessary in consequence
of the frontiers of the State being extended, and
the " establishment of a united Federal army under
the leadership of Prussia." This last passage
sounds very significant, and confirms the impres-
sions that some have already entertained as to the
sinister intentions of Prussia in monopolising power
and possessions to herself. It is really absurd to
notice the manner in which the KING confesses things
in his desire to make it appear that he is organising
a grand scheme of national regeneration, and in his
determination that there shall be no doubt as to the
Partrrassia is to play in it, Thus we gee that, with-
