SPORTING NOTES.

GUESSES FOR GOODWOOD.

Journalists may expatiate with all their overstrained
eloquence on the coming glories of Goodwood races, but
their language will scarcely convey an idea to the un-
initiated of half the attractions of the meeting. They
may describe in pleftWing anticipation, tho bcautioo of
the park, the rich panorama stretched before the specta-
tors on the race course, and the stirring events which will
occupy the next four days ; yet all their prognostica-
tions and all their day-dreams will, compared to the
reality, be as powerless and indistinct as the figures on a
ctmera obscura. I shall not attempt to expatiate on the
varied attractions of the meeting, but shall merely
direct the reader's attention to the most important events
set for decision.

The programme has a plethoric appearance, and
during the meeting the reporter's office will be no
sinecure. About thirty events will be contested, and
every item in the list of sport possesses a peculiar and
distinct interest. The racing to-morrow with its
"Craven" and "Levant" as the most prominent attrac-
tions will fit'y inaugurate the proceedings. For the
former event, the entries will be made to-night, I will
therefore, briefly refer to the probable result of the two-
years - old encounter. Gin will go to the post
for the Levant Stakes with a penalty of
6 lbs., and believing him not what Sanibo would call
" 'xactly first-rate," I shall expect Harry Stanley to be
his successful opponent. As the soundest animal is inva-
riable the safest, not in a betting sense, I am, per force*
compelled to ltt Chevalier d'lndustrie do battle for me
over the mile and a-half for the Grat wicke Stakes.
Speculation on the Stakes seems unsettled. Layers
and backers are alike acting on the defensive, and al-
though they would "catch the trout they are afraid of
wetting their feet." They are, however, not likely to let
"I dare not wait upon I would " for any length of time,
and in the next twenty-four hour? the Stakes betting will
undergo a complete alteration. Rosati finished
her pas de fascination on Friday in a manner that
was little expected. In turf phraseology, she was
put through the mill, and the resalt was, it is said, any-
thing but satisfactory. The "state of the odds" cer-
tainly gives a colour to the ominous reports in circula-
tion, and with a knowledge that few horses recover from
a " metallic fever," I shall not place faith in Rosati.
Martinet may be considered first favourite, albeit he
is closely pressed in the betting by Barfleur, Van Dunck,
and Hobgoblin. The form which Martinet showed
last year entitles him to notice, but I must confess that
my partiality for him is materially diminished by a
consideration .of his performance at Salisbury at the
commencement of the season. Mr. T. Parr means
mischief with Van Duna, who, if he only runs
up to his trial, will be more forward at the
finish than his opponents will like to see. Hobgob-
lin's light weight will bring him home, and if a boy be
capable of holding him I shall be inclined to regard his
chance with the strongest partiality. Of the other three-
years-old, Somerset and Bird-in-the-Hand are the most
noteworthy. The former it is stated can stay for a
month, and the latter had a reputation prior to the
Derby, and it is expected that he will prove by his per-
formance that John Scott really had good grounds fer
believing that in the Bird he possessed a superior ani-
mal. Of the "old 'tins turned loose" I have the
greatest fancy for Barfleur, but the winner will I fancy
be either

SOMERSET or HOBGOBLIN,

ALEPPO I shall reserve for a cockboat.

The Stewards' Cup will command a large field, and
several "dips" into it will have to be made before the
winner is discovered. My present fancy is for Laiy
Hawthorne and Katherine Logie.
The decision of the stewards about the starting of
Gemma di Vergy for the cup, has brought that horse
to the position of leading favourite. He has been re-
cently turned out to grass, and is reported to be all the
better for his brief season of rest. Staying, I never be-
lieved to be Jemmy's forte, but after all the field for the
Cap is not likely to comprise a " flyer," unless, indeed,
"them foreigners" have qualities we wet not of.
The American horsy Pryor H said to be amiss,
and Prioress will perhaps represent Mr. Tom
Broeek's interest. I hope Pryor may go well to
the post, fcr I believe him to be a thoroughly good horse,
and one that will do no discredit to his English sire—
Glencoe. Of the French horses I have a strong partia-
lity for Monarque and Florin. Arsenal is undersuspicion,
and even the very favourable decision of the stewards re-
lative to his weight has caused no demonstration to
be made in his favour. I never was an admirer of Anton,
and am not now ; the 'hone is light and flashy,
and would make an admirable park hack. St.
4. Giles would be my Unconditional selection, .if I
