The 300 Sovs,Sweepstakes look well for Colonel A

son, with Joe Lovell; the Devil to Pay, or All Round
my Hat playing second fiddle.
The Gratwicke Stakes will produce a sharp race be-
tween Pic Nic, the Merry Monarch, and Cowl ; shouldhe
not run for the Drawing Room Stakes, in my opinion he
will be reserved for this Stake, and if he is, most pro-
bably will win it, Merry Monarch being second, and Pic
Nic third.
The Ham Stakes are destined beyond a doubt for the
Princess Alice, with West Countryman and the Estelle
colt well up.
The Lavant Stakes will have a field of about eight,
including Sting, Cherokee, Grimston, Fair Helen, Cam-
baules, arid Collingwood, (latter doubtful) ; some of
these are " dark," and I shall not be surprised to see a
" dark one " the winner—this will be the tightest race
run at Good wood this meeting. I shall look to Dawson
with Grimston, or Forth with Sting for the winner,
Cherokee being close up at the finish.

A Sweepstakes of 300 sows. looks very like a walk
over for Jenghiz Khan.
The Goodwood Club Stakes will probably leave
Quebec or Croton Oil for winner, distance suiting both.
The Welter Stakes to Lord G. Bentiuck, with
Naworth, Wolfdog second.
The Match between Antler and Red Deer will be
won by the latter.
The Innkeepers' Plate, I think, will be won by The
Wheel.
On Wednesday, the Goodwood Stakes will, doubtlesQ,
bring to tile post a larger field, probably eighteen, which
I fancy will be the following, viz. :—Queen Mab, John
o'Gaunt, Aristides, Una, Venus, Nottingham, Light-
ning, Pineapple, Ajax, Milton, Rowena, Libel, Wee Pet,
Vates, Boarding School Miss, Pythia, /Egis, What, and
with perhaps Warp and one or two more. Pythia, The
Libel, Miss Elis, Laird o'Cockpen, Glossy, Britannia,
Rochester and Nottingham will have had enough long
before they reach the run in. John o'Gaunt will run
well. Una will not be far behind the winner. Wee Pet
and Warp will not get nearer than the rear of the front
rank. Europa may be a very good plater, but she must
be something more to do any good here. Agis and
Ajax will both find the pace too good for them. Rowena
and Lightning, Dawson 'a starters, I do not consider to
be quite up to the mark, notwithstanding I expect to see
them figure in the front. Queen Mab has too much
weight upon her, but yet she might just manage to
pull through. Should Aristides be in good temper
he will prove himself a most dangerous comp, -
titor. Venus being in capital condition, and the distance

just suiting her, will no doubt be one of the first four.
Boarding School Miss will not pull through such a dis-
tance as this race is for ; she would be sure to win, were
it for the Ditch Mile at Newmarket, instead of the Cup
Course at Goodwood. Now, to sum up, I shall be pre-
pared to see the winner sprint,; out of the following nine:
—Queen Mab, John ,'Gaunt, Aristides, Una, Venus,
Lightning, Rowena., Yates, and Warp, and will venture
to predict that Aristides or Venus will be the winner of
GoAwood Stakes this year, with Lightning and
Yates ,close up. _

On Thursday the Goodwood Cup will bring out a
large fi,ld, including, among others, Valerian, Drummer,
My Old Hack, Mid Lothian, Example, St. Lawrence, and
the Cure. Out of such a field and at such heavy weights
it is not the easiest task imaginable to pick out the
winner. Rowena, if she runs, will stand a very good
chance. Valerian will have had enough by the time IP‘
has gone a mile and a half. St. Lawrence has too much
weight on him, yet his chance is not quite out. Game-
cock will show that he is anything but game on Thurs-
day next. Refra,!tion cannot go the distance ; the same
can be said of Stomacher and Miss Elis. The T'Auld
mare would have a tolerably good chance, notwithstand-
ing, the great weight of 9st. 10lb. she has to carry, were
she to start. Mid Lothian can go the pace and stay the
distance. but his starting is very doubtful. Drummer
and My Old Hack will run well. In conclusion, I fanry
My Old Hack, Mid Lothian, and Drummer will furnish
the winner.

The 200 sovs. SweTstakes for tw) year olds, will go
:a Lord G. Bentinck viith the Princess Alice. Wilder-
less second.

The Racing Stakes to Lord G. Bentinck; Pam bein
second.

well up.
The Anglesey Stakes to Naworth or Quebec.

will win, Longitude or Queen Pomare second.
The Chesterfield Cup to Lothario, Ajax, or Wine-
sour, with a slight preference for the former.
The match between Lady Anna and Lady Trampoline
will be won by the former.
The Maidstone Stakes to Lord G. Bentinck or the

meeting in the universe.—l am, Sir, &c.,
