(PROM OUR CORRESPONDENT.)
The recent startling disclosures of turf doings, instead of in• ,ro
the prospects of racing, seem to have materially benefited it.
entries for the different great stakes are larger than ever, the pai
tendance on the courses is greater, and although speculation
d ad
carried on to the heavy extent it was wont to be in the fle.':or
times of Colonel Mellish, still there is far more animation ones
ble in the racing, from the increased confidence which the ineecto•
of it have in each other. There is one great feature which I ilea
not help remarking upon as an evidence of the rapid strides le 0,
meetings like Goodwood and Liverpool are making in
viz., that the various races at those places are introduced ee

acceptances for the Goodwood Stakes being now out, _nor

exceed those of its predecessor by six, and as seventeen
have been backed for it at this early poriod, there is every e'
of its being a good race for the book makers. Libel, 3 11.'1;

now. It is singular how much this mare and her 11 IoD
