GOODWOOS MEETING.
WEDNESDAY.
However welcome the change in the weather may have
been to all classes in the community, there can be no ques-
tion but that the rain detracted from the eclat of the Good-
wood Stakes Day. The company was more numerous
than that of yester iay, and the rain having laid the dust
and cooled the atmosphere, rendered the journey from
Drayton and Chichester more enjoyable, but the fleeting
showers made sad havoc with the ladies' toilettes on the
lawn, the stately trees affording but slight shelter, and
pic-nic parties were suspended for the day. The Prince of
Wales was again present, and the company was if anything
more aristocratic than that of the opening day. Rain fell at
intervals during the afternoon, and imparted a freshness
to the course and surrounding country. Fortunately for
sight-seers the weather cleared up just before the decision
of the Stakes, leaving the air pure, but Lad the race been run
an hour earlier it would have been almost an impossibility to
have distingtlished the colours. Excepting the race for the
Stakes the day's card did not contain any very interesting
feature. St. Renate made short work of Herald, Banditto,
and Harvester for the Sweepstakes for Colts, and Tenedos
had no difficulty in placing the Findon Stakes to the credit
of the Duke of Newcastle, the Lady Melbourne filly, to
whom Tenedos was conceding 51b, running him closest.
Mr. Padwick brought Border Knight out for this race, but,
like his stable companion Standard Bearer, who made
his debut the previous day, be succumbed to the public
performers. The Tupgill stable won the Handicap
Plate with Courtier, but it was only the initiatory one of
the successes with Tabouret and Mandrake. Seventeen
runners were telegraphed for the Stakes—a fair average
field - the absentees including none who had been recently
backed. Mr. Lincoln started both Kidderminster and
Ilium, Kenyon carrying the proper colours on the former,
with whom Mr. Lincoln declared to win, Hammond being
distinguishable on Ilium with a coloured cap. Mr. John-
stone made no declaration with his pair, of whom Tabouret
was ridden in Mr. Mackenzie's colours to distinguish him
from Tynedale. Tabouret, as the time approached for the
decision of the race, became a greater favourite, and started
at 6to 4. Cannon Ball was not in such demand this morn-
ing, and it being reported that Gomera had " a leg" she
receded to 100 to 6, leaving off an equal favourite with
Stradbroke; and being very fractious on the course, and
running in bandages, caused her to be in less demand than
Ecarte, whom almost every one characterised as a mean,
narrow-looking horse. The Middleham people were very
sanguine and nothing loth to take the short price about
Tabouret. The race will be found described below in all
its varying details, and it is sufficient here to state that a
quarter of a mile from home at least half a dozen looked in
it, and until reaching the distance nothing seemed more
formidable than Glongarnock, but ho died away at the
point indicated, leaving Tabouret and the outsider of the
Ilednesford stable, Ilium, to fight out a most determined
struggle. The jockeys of both rode with an amount of
patience wonderful for light weights, and had Hudson not
waited as well as his horse stayed the outsider would
have won. A better display of horsemanship was-impos-
sible, and Tabouret won through staying the longest.
Butler ran The Spy into the third place, Glengarnock
finishing fourth, and Choral fifth. Bad as Ecarte looked
he managed to defeat a lot of the favourites, Kiddermins-
ter passing the post ninth, and Fidelia tenth. Our Mary
Ann made the running for a long way, but was
dead settled within the straight. Gomera broke down
very badly, and Daley having dismounted some distance
from home walked in at the head of the whilom favourite.
Venom, when going remarkably well, fell on her side, and
both Cannon Ball and Stradbroke were compelled to jump
over her, and had the others who were lying in their track
not been diverged, the consequences might have been seri-
ous, but as it was both filly and jockey escaped unhurt.
Of course the bookmakers lose by Tabouret's success, but
had either Ilium, The Spy, Glengarnock, or Choral, who
finished in order next to the favourite, been successful,
they would have won largely, and at the distance Glen-
garnock looked so dangerous that many in the ring antici-
pated with cheering the success of the outsider. After the
race 4 to 1 with a start was taken about Tabouret for the
Cup, and 9 to 2 without the proviso. Particulars of the
day's sport are appended :

With as little delay as possible the seventeen competi-
tors were weighed out, and the numbers were telegraphed
a few minutes before the appointed time (three o'clock.)
Gomera wee the first to appear on the coutse, and her
fractiousness gave Daley some trouble, the Duke of NE w-
castle's mare rearing up several times before she could bo
induced to canter down. Fidelia, Cannon Ball, Wellow,
The Spy, and the others followed in rapid succession, and
having reached the distance, the preliminary canter was
taken, Kidderminster showing the way for Stradbroke,
Ecarte, and Wellow, Mr. Johnstone's pair, with Ilium and
Fidelie, bringing up the rear. After cantering up the hill
a short distance the lot were taken in charge by Mr.
M'George, Gomera leading them in parade till nearing the
winning post, when she became restive, andCustance, who
happened to be on the course, had to go to her head to pacify
her. Kidderminster then became the marshal, and after
walking past the Stand they were conducted to the post,
from which they were despatched at the first attempt.
The Spy iu the centre of the course was the first away,
Cannon Ball and Venom on either side jumping off almost
simultaneously, but ,before reaching the Stand, indeed,
when they had fairly settled down to their work, the com-
mand was assumed by Venom, The Spy, Cannon Ball,
Tabouret, Choral, Our Mary Ann, and Fidelia in a cluster,
attending upon Mr Green's filly, Kidderminster and Strad-
broke, who held positions ou the inside, heading the others,
at the tail of affairs, as they streamed past the enclosure,
being Glengarnock, Ecarte, and Gomera. Before a quar-
ter of a mile had been covered Our Mary Ann parted com-
pany with Choral and Fidelia, and took her place at the
quarters of Venom, whom she headed going out of the
straight, at the came time haapreTin the pace. The Spy,

Cannon Ball, Wellow, Venom, Fidelia, and Tab= ret, wht
were in close company, now forming the leading crivisioslie
the remainder being beaded by Kidderminster, Moral,
Glengarnock, and Ilium, the colours of Stradbroke 1, Sal-
pinctes, Goulette, Fitz Ivan, and Tynedale being disco
ramble
in the rear. Approaching "the clump" Our Mary At 50 in-
creased her advantage, drawing at least three lengths :clear
of the horses as they rounded the loop, where Venom, who
had been attending on Tho Spy and lying just in frc ,nt of
Cannon Ball, fell ou her side, Lord St. Vincent's ge Wing
and Stradbroke jumping over the prostrate filly,
tuna t ely a repetition of the accident which occurred -in
1866 (Pretty Boy's year) was prevented by the other con 1-
petitors taking a wide berth. Cannon Ball was imm 3-
diately afterwards in difficulties, and his retirement w' as
taken advantage of by Glengarnock, who emerged fa am
the ruck and drew up alongside The Spy and Wello w.
Before reaching the mile post Salpinctes dropped into • the
rear, and on passing the post was hopelessly beaten. .off.
The field at this point presented a scattered appearance,
and Butler indulging The Spy with a "feeler " he, ale-
creased Our Mary Ann's lead considerably, Kiddermi aster
at the same moment taking fourth place, just in re ar of
Glengarnock, Ilium a few strides further on joining, his
stable companion. Fidelia, Tabouret, Wellow, and
Ecarte lay close together in the wake of the Hedne )ford
pair. Approaching the top turn Glengarnock raced past
The Spy and joined Our Mary Ann, the pair entering:: the
line for hems head and head, with 'rho Spy at their t meets;
Stradbroke, Ilium, Kidderminster, and Tabouret coming
next, and to these the issue was confined, the others: being
tailed off. Stradbroke was in difficulties when fairly in
the straight, and Mr. Lincoln's pair parted company, Kid-
derminster joining Tabouret on the lower ground„
choosing a line for himself on the Stand side. Our Mary
Ann beat a retreat as they descended the hill, and Glen-
garnock was left with a lead of Tha Spy, whom Butler
was compelled to call upon two distances from home. At
the distance Kidderminster compounded, a loud shout from
the stand proclaiming his defeat. Glengarnock had
enough of it soon after passing the distance, and the
struggle was left to Tabouret and Ilium, who closed with
each other at the commencement of the Stand enclosure.
Both Hudson and Hammond rode with with wonderful
patience, and half up the enclosure, so well were both
horses going, that it was impossible to say which would
win, but about 50 yards from the chair Tabouret drew
slightly ahead, and won, after a fine race, by three quar-
ters of a length. The Spy, who passed Glengarnock
within the distance, was a bad third, Glengarnock
fourth, Choral fifth, Ecarte sixth, Stradbroke seventh,
Our Mary Ann eighth, Kidderminster ninth, Fidelia
tenth, and Tynedalo eleventh. Then at wide intervals
came Fitz Ivan, Wellow, Cannon Ball, and Salpinctes.
Gomera, who never at any moment of the race ahowed
prominently, walked in, having broken down so badly
that Daley dismounted. Venom also walked in. Mr.
Lincoln declared to win wiith Kidderminster. After the
race 4 to 1 was taken about the winner for the Goodwood
Cup, a run being given, but without the proviso 9 to 2
was laid.

Chippenham made play, followed by Cotytto and Man-
drake, Van Amburgh bringing up the rear till making the
bend into the straight, when Clairon improved her posi-
tion, and Chippenham dropping back within the straight,
the lead was taken by Cotytto. At the distance, however,
Mandrake drew out, and stalling off Clairon's challenge,
won very cleverly by a neck ; three lengths separated the
second and third, Chippenham was fourth, and Van Am-
burgh last.
