TABOTJRET.

Kidderminster or Gornera-n;a7yTurnish the second and
third. Thursday is the Cup day, and the competitors will
he chosen from Blinkhoolie, Satyr, 'Julius, Speculum, Suf-
folk, Tynedale (or Tabouret), and Vale Royal. Since his
victory over Julius at Ascot Blinkhcolie has been
the reigning favourite for this Cup; and the parties
associated with him, relying on the fine staying
powers of the son of Rataplan, make sure of winning. We,
however, believe the Cup will grace the Duke of New-
castle's buffet, and shall look for the winner in Speculum
or Julius. In the Molecomb Stakes (6 furlongs) thirty-
ono two year olds have been entered, and a sharp contest
may be anticipated if Belladrurn, Arbaces, Chatelherault,
Siderolite, and Brigantine antagonise. Belladrurn is
already penalised fille ; but, unless Arbaces is the
"clipper" his admirers assert him to be,
Mr. Merry's colt will be successful. The Six-
teenth Bentinck Memorial Stakes (about 3 mi'es 5
furlongs) may be assigned to Taraban ; the Seventeenth
(1i miles) to Blueskin, in the absence of Formosa ; and
the Eighteenth (6 furlongs) to Ryshworth, though Bella-
drum has been entered against Mr. Savile's colt in the
last-named race. For the Sussex Stakes (6 furlongs) we
prefer Minaret; and the Zetland Stakes (1 mile) Phoebus.
On Friday there will b 3 an excellent day's racing, as the
Chesterfield Cup, the Nursery, Nassau, March, and Traf-
ford Stakes, amongst other items, stand for decision. The
Chesterfield Cup (11 miles) has secured sixty nominations,
and the weights range from Vespasian, 9st 101 b, to Pest,
sst 71b. The horses that read best in are Silenus, Bst 91b;
the filly by Newmiaster out of Irish Queen, Bst ; Romping
Girl, 7st 101 b; Python, 7st 91b; The Spacial, 7st 31b; The
Dean, 7st; Seville, 6st 101 b; and Mercury, 6st 61b.
The heavy weights are generally very formidable in this
race ; but this anniversary Silenus is the only horse in the
high class that appears to have a chance with The
Special and Seville, and if this pair are only in form, one of
them may turn up the winner. In the Nursery Stakes(last
mile) 44 horses have been handicapped, the most notable of
which are The Rajah, 7st 101 b; Hymen, 7st 81b; St. Muugo,
7st 71b ; Alpenstock, 7st 71b ; Dunbar, 7st 71b ; Dryad, ist 41b ;
Lopez, 7st3lb ; and Lyttleton, Est 101 b. All these are said to
possess fair racing qualities, and we believe each horse can
stay the mile course. Dryad is a useful filly, and she will
be found in the van at the finish ; but Lopez and Lyttle-
ton are the pair in whom our confidence is reposed.

THE BErTINCE MEMORIALS AT GOODWOOD.—The fol-
lowing condition is appended to these races:—" A sum
equal to 10 per cent. on the whole stake will be deducted
from the stake each year, to form a fund for the purchase
of a piece of plate to be given to the owner of the first horse
that wins the Bentinck Memorial Triennial Stakes throe
years in succession. If, when this fund amounts to £l,OOO,
no horse then three years old shall have won the stake
twice, the piece of plate shall be given at the Goodwood
Races of the following yeUr as a handicap for three year
olds and upwards ; Queen's Plate Course ; 5 sous entrance
for horses that have been named in any of the Bentinck
Memorial Triennial Stakes, and 25 sous entrance for others.
The entrance-money to be divided between the first and
second horses. If, when the fund amounts to £l,OOO, a three
year old has won the stakes twice, the piece of plate shall
not be given till after the race for the third year of the
Triennial Stakes in which such horse is engaged. Should
he not win it, the piece of plate shall be run for at the
Goodwood Races of the following year, and not be again
postponed, though in the meantime another three year oil
should have won the stake twice." Vauban has won the
Sixteenth Memorial two years in succession, but it is
doubtful if he can win it the third time, and thus secure
the piece of plate for Mr. Chaplin. It will be remembered
that Blink Ronny failedtto win the race the third time,
and although sent to the post she only want a few strides,
and was pulled up.
