GOODWOOD RACES -TUESDAY.

Goodwood was to-day iraugurated iu the presence of a
large number of the aristocracy, and in weather which for
brilliancy has rarely been exceeded. Consideration for
our readers forbids us recurring to the "flowery" busi-
ness, which has been done so often in glorification of the
great meeting in the Duke of Richmond's park. In the
face of the great demands which have recently been made
upon horse-flesh, and the difficulty experienced in preparing
aeimals for their engagements, it is not a subject for
wonder that the fields, with the exception of that for the
Stewards' Cup, should be of limited dimensions. The
"going" in the ducal pile was, however, not at all hard,
and those trainers who availed themselves of the Duke of
Richmond's kind offer to have their horses on the spot a
week beforehand must have been delighted to find the
private gallops in such excellent order. The attendance
of the outside public was not so large as usual on the open-
ing day, but within the enclosure and on the lawn no dimi-
nution was observable. The Prince of Wales, who is a
guest of the Duke of Richmond, honoured the sport with
his presence, but the Duke of Edinburgh, who is also stay-
ing in the neighbourhood, was not present. The Duke of
Richmond entertained a distinguished and numerous com-
pany at " the house," and Prince Edward of Saxe-
Weimar also had a brilliant party from Molecomb, and the
occupants of the Stand included the Duke of Richmond,
Lord A. Lennox, the Earl of March, Earl Cadogan, Col.
Foley, Marquis of Conyngham, Lord Westmorland, Prince
Soltykoff, the Duke of Newcastle, Lord St. Vincent, Gen.
Peel, Sir Robert Peel, Admiral Rous, Lord Stamford,
Lord Bingham, Lord Royston, Lord Poulott, Sir Charles
Legard, &c. Racing commenced at the comparatively
early hour of ono with the Craven Stakes, which fell to
Charnwood, after a smart race with Vespasian, who, how-
ever, failed to improve upon the position obtained by
Bloss's stable in the same race last year. The Lady Blanche
filly followed up her Stamford success by winning the
Gratwicke Stakes, starting at the remunerative odds of 6
to 1, Herald and Phoebus being better favourites. After
Paul Jones had walked over for the Rous Stakes backers
experienced a facer for the Sweepstakes over the T.YC.,
which Ventnor won, upsetting a great pot in Sir Oliver.
Badswoi th sustained his second defeat in the
Lavant Stakes, for which he started favourite,
but could get no nearer than third, dying away to
nothing when Mann called upon him, so that the issue
was left to Heather Bull and the Duke of Beau-
fort, the latter of whom ran with undeniable game-
ness, and won very cleverly. Before the race Mr. Bray-
ley, who bought the colt from Mr. John Denman for 500
guineas, backed him to win the Derby, taking 20,000 to
400 about him. Twenty-two runners went to the post
for the Stewards' Cup, Vex, who won a great trial with
Indian Star the previous day, starting an equal favourite
with Cellina, who turned out the best of Lord Stamford's.
Vex made the whole of the running, and won cleverly by
three parts of a length from Mercury,: who attempted to
"savage" Sir Frederick Johnstone's mare a few strides
from the post. Salliet was third, whilst Xi and Collins
were fourth and fifth. The Ilednesford stable, wherein
the winner is trained, win largely by the result, Sir Fre-
derick Johnstone throwing in for the heaviest stake.
Butler,who rode the winner, carried 6st, 31b more than the
filly was handicapped at. The other races require no
comment. Details are appended

him; but after that distance bad been covered Mandrake
took a clear lead, the other two lying side by side about
three lengths in rear of Sir 0. Legard's horse. Going up
hill Mandrake increased his advantage by about half a
dozen lengths. When half a mile had been accomplished
Charnwood quitted Satyr, and took his place at the
quarters of Vespasian, Satyr going on in the track of the
pair. Mandrake still retaining a clear advantage until
rounding the band into the straight, when the lot closed,
Satyr taking his position next the rails, Mandrake in the
centre of the course, with Charnwood on his left, Vespa-
sian pulling hard at the girths of the latter. Just outside
the distance Mandrake dropped back, and Vespasian took
a slight lead, but Charnwood got on level terms with him

going on second just clear of Phoebus, Slanderer again
dropping into the rear as they came into the straight.
Halfway down the hill the Lady Blanche filly drew up on
the outside, Phoebus simultaneously coming up on the
inside, Herald lying in the centre of the course to the
distance, where he was in difficulties, and the Lady
Blanche filly was enabled to take a slight advantage ; and
although Cannon made the most resolute efforts with
Herald, Mr. Savilo's filly won cleverly by a head ; Phoebuswas a bad third, and the other two were beaten off.

The lot got away at the first attempt, Heather Bell on
the right making play with a slight lead of Badsworth,
who had Crocus on his left, Sister to Resicrucian being
next the rails, and the Duke of Beaufort on the extreme
right, Lady Cecilia bringing up the rear. After about half
the journey had been accomplished, Badsworth held out
signals of distress, and Heather Bell was eabled to take a
lead of about three quarters of a length. Cannon at the
same time was comrcAled to call upon the Duke of Beau-
fort, who appeared unable to live the pace with his horses,
but at the commencement of the Stand enclosure he got
level wiih Badsworth, and Prince Soltykoff's colt being
as dead as a stone with fifty strides of the chair, the Duke
of Beaufort challenged resolutely, and although Challoner
rode brilliantly on Mr. Craufurd's filly, the Duke of Beau-
fort ran with undeniable gameness; and getting up in the
last few strides, won ♦ery cleverly by a short head; Bads-
worth was third, beaten three lengths; ()locus close up
fourth, and Sister to Rosierucian and Lady Cecilia finished
head and head in the rear.
