GOODWOOD RACES.

CHICHESTER, MONDAY NIGHT, EIGHT O'CLOCIE.—In the
course of the day a great number of arrivals have been re-
ported, but as yet there has been no " gathering" at the
betting-rooms, nor any betting deserving of notice. We
bear that all the stables at Goodwood and the vicinity are
full, and that an immsnse nturber of horses were out this
morning; further, that Una (who arrived yesterday in com-
pany with La Goualeuse, 2 yrs old) and Plaudit broke down
this morning. The Cure pulled up lame yesterday; Aria-
tides is also said to be lame. In addition to those already
published, Master Thomas, Sir Abstrupus, Philip, Venus
filly, Rowena, Queen of Tyne, and several others have arrived,
The weather continues favourable. •

GOODWOOD RACES.
(FROII OUR CORRESPONDENT.)

Thursday is the grand day of the meeting, but why it
should be so called I know not, seeing that the sport on the
first Iday is just as good, if not better. As the Cup is the
gre it 'e at ure of the day, and the race that excites most in-
terest among the fairer portion of the creation, I shall allude
to it first, and if I shall be enabled to add to the wardrobe of
some of my lady readers a few dozen of gloves I shall be
amply repaid for the trouble the task of commenting upon
this valuable stake has cost me. A great deal of the in-
terest which this race has excited has been destroyed by the
withdrawal of Foig-a-ballagh. Nobody can now com-
plain that the announcement was not made soon
enough. At the post I expect to see St. Law-
rence, 9st. 71b., The Cure, 9st. Ilb., Sorella, Bst. 111 b.,
Akbar, Bst. 51b., Valerian, Bst. 11b., Arundo. ist. 121 b., Game-
cock, 7st. 121 b., Stomacher, 7st. 111 b., Refraction, 7st. 71b.,
Drummer, 7st. 51b., Laird o' Cockpen, 6st. 131 b., Winchester,
6st. 111 b., Miss Elis, 3 yrs, 6st. 91b. Of these I think St.
Lawrence or Gamecock will be found the first at the winning
post. The former, it should be borne in mind, with Bst. 91b.
ran second to Sweetmeat at Bath, for the Somersetshire
Stakes, distance two miles and a half, and subsequently
second to Intrepid, at Chester, beating a very large field of
horses, after a race run the greater part of it at terrific
speed. Neither Intrepid or Sweetmeat have since been
beaten, and St. Lawrence has been kept fresh in his stable, and
will be ridden by old John Day. Gamecock has likewise the
advantage of a long rest, added to which he is extremely well
in at Newton. Arundo, I should imagine, would only start out
of compliment to his owner, the steward of the meeting.
Stomacher is much fancied by those who support Mr. Forth
on this course. He is an opponent always to be dreaded,
but I think not so much on this occasion as on others. The
Stomacher cannot complain of the weight assigned to her,
and, if she runs, will no doubt be in a good place. The
Drummer, from all I can hear, will turn out no Beggarmau.
Refraction is an in-and-out runner, added to which 7st. 71b.
for:a three years old, two miles and a half, must prove a stopper.
Gamecock, for his two years, gives her only 51b.—think of
that, ye speculators on the weights. I think Miss Elis
will be ridden by the luckiest jockey of the day (Nat), and
belongs to a nobleman who has won more Goodwood Cups
than any other person on the turf. And when I recollect
Priam, Carew, liornsea, all being chronicled winners of this
rich plate, the former twice, I do not think that Lord Ches-
terfield would have sent Gamecock had he not been convinced
of the excellent chance he stood for it. Valelian, the present
first favourite, is far too uncertain an animal for me to place
faith in. Akbar has neither speed nor bottom for this race.
Winesour, should he be started, will speedily feel the effect o
his winning, and the weight the Laird will have to carry,
Will prevent the Cup gracing the sideboards of either of
their owners. The Cure will struggle on towards the front,
but his habit of swerving at the eta' of his races makes
rite mistrust him now.

Th 4 Racing Stakes is likely to furnish an excellent race
between Pug and Worthless. The former, I think, will be
found the better of the two. Cowl will not go, on account
of the penalty of 61b. he has to carry for winning at Ascot.
Lord George Bentinck's Nightcap, I am told, will walk
over for the 100 Soya. Stakes.

The 200 Soya. Sweepstakes, for colts and fillies, will bring
out the two best bred two-year-olds in England. Ark-
wright, by Don John, winner of the speediest St. Leger ever
known, out of Arachne, an Oaks winner, is one, and Lom-
brero, by Bay Middleton, likewise a Derby winner, out of
Chapeau d'Espagne, a mare that ran second to Pussy for the
Oaks. As the former animal has the speediest blood in his
Veins, I think he will be found the best at the finish.
The 200 Sovs. Two-year-old Stakes will be, like all the
laces of this class, merely a trial between John Day's stable
And John Kent's.
The Sussex Stakes I apprehend will go to Mr. Shelley's
Samphire, if what I hear be true.
For the Anglesey I prefer most Quebec, Naworth, and Sir
Abstrupue.
Oa Friday the Nassau Stakes will be sharply contested
for by Stitch, Plaudit, and Pug, and as Lord Eglinton's filly
L'as not been running about so much as Lord George's, I shall
give the preference to her.
For the Chesterfield Cupforty horses are handicapped, and
about half that number, in all probability, will start.
Rowena, Vaudeville, the Knight, and Arcanus, will be found,
I opine, the best of them.

Queen blab will be difficult to beat for the Maidstone
Stakes. If any animal does it, I should think it would be John
o'Gannt ; and if Princess Alice has not run previously, I
think she will prove the winner.
Cowl or the Laird o'Cockpen will, no doubt, walk over for
the 50 Sovs. Stakes.

The Nolecombe will be one of the most interesting races
of the day, but the starters for it are uncertain, and depend
Materially upon the results of the other races. Freelance
Will have to carry 51b. extra for Winning the Chesterfield
Stakes, Princess Alice suffersa, like penalty from having the
good fortune to carry off a rich stake at Chester. Witsend
is in a similar situation ; therefore, I think their chance is quite
out. Madcap has improved so much lately, that I think
either her or Sting will be first home. As I have little doubt
Cambaulea will win the Ham, and so have to carry 51b extra,
I shall not put him down as likely to win this.
