GOODWOOD RACES.-YESTERDAY.

The ordinary, or, properly to designate their excel-
lence, the extra-ordinary attractions of the Cup-day,
were this year enhanced by the addition to the list of
some valuable play or pay stakes for two yrs old, making, •
of this class alone, no less than five races, and swelling
the total into a round dozen. The new engagements,
from the probable influence their results will have on
future events, excited considerable interest, and were
calculated to promote speculation ; the Cup, however,
was the grand, the absorbing event, with that
numerous class to whom a race without " betting
round " would be almost a dead letter ; in spite,
therefore, of the prestige that ever accompanies the
appearance of Alice, Ilavrthdrn, - and of the 'different
flekl opposed tether its few horses recommended teithat
useful body, " the public," by the allowances—.--not by
any known merits, were taken into favour ; and thus
speculation, without at all approaching an ;amount likely
to alarm those who imagine that betting is detrimental
to the stability of racing as a national pastime, was kept
up with some show of spirit to the last.
The importance attached to this event was shown in
the rank and greatness of the attendance. Disregarding
the showery weather, thousands flocked to the course
from all parts of the country ; special trains, super-
nuinerary coaches, busses, and every other variety of
equipage that the means of some and the ingenuity
of others could make available, contributed
to increase the throng, and to give to the
most picturesque course in the kingdom an
animation and splendour that sets our feeble powers
of description at nought. With such a crowd, some
jostling and confusion was unavoidable in the narrow
approaches to the Grand Stand, and an occasional crash
gave unwelcome evidence of unskilful or careless driving;
but on the whole the exertions of Superintendent May
and his colleagues (Inspectors Pearce and land, and
Sergeant Langley), were successful in preserving toler-
able order, and preventing any serious accident. In a
previous report ire gave the names of the distinguished
personages that composed the party invited to partake of
the hospitalities of Goodwood House during the races; all,
we believe, • but Prince William of Prussia, Earls
Spencer and Chesterfield were present this afternoon. In
addition, we observed Lord Dorchester, Lord South-
ampton, Lord Andover, Lord Longford, Lord John
Fitzroy, Lord C. Manners, Lord Edward Russell, Sir
George Houston, Sir M. Farquhar, Sir W. Codrington,
Sir Charles Cockerell ; Hon. Admiral Powlett, Hon.
Captain Boyle, Hon. ABerkeley, Hon. Captain Stanley;
Colonel Wyndham, Colonel Hornby, Major Udny ;
Messrs. Cockerell, J. Mills, Clive, J. Bayly, Magennis,
Bowes, Brand, Phillimore, Cavendish, Wigram, Palk,
Calley, Towneley, Oliver, King, Worrell, Higgins,
Shelley, Gratwieke, Sloane, Stanley, &c.
The first race in the list was run at half-past twelve
o'clock; the other events followed in quick succession
till five o'clock, up to which time our report is made,
leaving two or three races for the next dispatch.

Betting.--Even on Lord Eglinton'a two ; 2 to 1 agst
Plaudit : 7 to 2 agst Nutbourne ; 4 to 1 agst Refrac-
tion ; and sto 1 agst Hersey. Plaudit jumped off, with
the lead, and made all the running to the distance, when
it was taken up by Refraction, Nutbourne, who had been
lying off, taking the second place ; at the Stand he went
up, ran with her to the last two or three strides, and
won cleverly at last by a neck ; Plaudit a bad third.
This race was run in a drenching shower.
Match, 100 h ft. Cup Course.
Lord Maidstone's Larry M`Hale,4 yrs, 12st 51b(Owner) 1
Lord G. Bentinck's Capt. Cook, 4 yrs, llst 51b (Owner) 2
The betting began at 6 and 7 to 4 on Captain Cook,
but before starting, had changed to 5 to 4 on Larry
WHale. The running was made at a slow pace by
Larry Wilde, Captain Cook waiting on him to the bot
tom of the hill in returning, where he made an attempt
to get up, but failing, was pulled back, and nursed for a
rush, which, if not successful, was made with so much
skill and resolution, as to bring him within a neck of Lord
Maidstone's horse at the finish. The appearance of Lord
George Bentinek on the pig-skin, after an interregnum of
many years, was hailed with loud cheers from all parts
of the course. Both Noble Lords were fined for being
behind time—an offence attributable, no doubt, to their
anxiety to avoid a shower that paid no respect to rank.

length, Akriar furnishing a good third.

Betting 3 to 1 on Alice Hawthorn, 12 to 1 against
Prizefighter, 14 to 1 against Ashtead Pet, and 20 to 1
against any other. Cameleon took the lead at starting,
followed by Ashtead Pet for a few strides, and after-
wards by Alice Hawthorn, the others, with the excep-
tion of Antler, who ran out at starting and lost several
lengths, lying up. The lead remained with the French
horse to the turn, where the old mare took it from him,
and went on at a good pace, followed by Ashtead Pet
and Antler ; and thus they ran to the hill in returning,
where the mare's two followers made an ineffectual at-
tempt to reach her. The Ara then took the second
place, but without approaching the mare, who went on
at an improved pace, had it all her own way, and won,
hard held, by three lengths. Prizefighter, who was
third at the foot of the hill, caught the .Ara a few yards
from home, and beat him half a length for second.
Antler was a bad fourth, and the others beaten off.
Wiseacre broke down.
