SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
GOODWOOD RACES.
The " grand day" could scarcely have come off under
more favourable circumstances—the card was a bumper,.
having the Cup for its staple and most exciting feature,
and two or three other events of considerable interest.
Tho weather was favourable, and the attendance, thanks
to the considerate policy of the Brighton Railway offi-
cials in timing and pricing the trains to afford accommo-
dation to all classes, very large. It would be absurd to
say that in any respect it equalled what we have seen on
many previous Cup days, still it gave evidence that
Goodwood has lost little of its attraction. If our other
duties did not prevent it, the crowded state of the stand
would render it impossible to give a list of the principal
visitors; suffice it that the Goodwood and Molecomb
parties, and a great many titled or fashionable persons
not present on the previous days, were on the course,
giving en Salt to the scene which no other meeting in
the country can approach. The racing was remarka'ole
first, fur, an unlucky contretemps, by which the U acid-
wood party and the " fielders, after seeing their pet
first past the winning chair, had the cup dushed from
their lips, in consequence of his having swerved against
the favourite at the fiuish; and, secondly, by the defeat
of Windivchgratz fur the Cup, Canezou a second time
proving victorious; and, lastly, by the triumph of Ted-
dington over the second favourite for the Derby.
The list, which comprised (ton races, was not got
through until near six o clock.

PEMBROKE, JULY 27.—This morning a fire oc-
curred at Pembroke-yard from spontaneous combustion. It
appears that certain old timber materials, obtained on
breaking up the Triumph, 74, much coated with pitch, tar,
arid oakum, had been packed up for disposal by auction at
the usual monthly sales. By some means they ignited, and
being near a range of seasoning sheds constructed of wocd,
and annually coated with coal and other tar, serious appre-
hensions were entertained for the safety of the arsenal. rho
engines were quickly on the spot, and the tire soon extin-
guished without any further injury than a partial loos of the
lot of wood.
