GOODWOOD RACES.-YESTERDAY.

The Goodwood Stakes, the heaviest betting race and
to racing men the most important event of the week,
rarely draws so full a company as the mere valuable
prizes run for on Tuesday and Thursday. The country
people and the pleasure seekers from Brighton, South
ampton, and other distant localities, usually reserve
themselves for the Cup, hence the attendance this after-
noon was composed chiefly of the visitors located within
a circle of ten miles of the course, to the sporting classes,
of whom the muster is invariably a bumper, aad a small
accession by the special train from Nine-elms. The as-
semblage would, no doubt, have been greater hut for the
wretched state of the weather. The privileged corner
of the Stand was again occupied by the Goodwood and
Molecomb parties ; there were also present, besides many
other persons of rank, the Marquis of Exeter, Marquis
of Waterford, Marquis of Clauricarde, Earl of Orford,
Earl of Middleton, Earl of Southampton, Earl of Suffield,
Lord and Lady Newport, Lord W. Powlett, Lard Ed-
ward Russell, Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence, Lord Howth,
Lord Foley, Lord John Fitzroy, Count Batthyany,
Baron Austen. Sir George Houston, Sir Henry
Mildmay, Sir William Codrinntim, Sir Charles
Cockerell, Sir Gilbert Heathcote, Honourable
George Fitzroy, Hon. Henry Forrester, Hon. Frederick
Villiers, lion. Horace Pitt. Hon. Captain Spenc"r,
Messrs. Scott, Stonehew•er, Sloane, Stanley, John White,
Percy Williams, G. H Moore, Leslie, John Stanley,
Nevill, Rush, Palmer, Gratwicse, Hawker, Shelley,
011iver, P. Booth, Eaton, Deltne, Ratcliffe, Osbaldeston,
Des Vceux, Knatchbull, Brand, Goddard, Ramsbottom,
J. Bayley, &c. &c.
Of the racing this afternoon it is unnecessary to say
much by way of introduction. The engrossing event of
the day was the handicap, for which the field, redness]
by the withdrawals mentioned in our express from the
course on Tuesday, was confined to 23, less by half a
dozen than was calculated upon at the commencement
Of the ra-es. The office of starter devolved upon Lord
George Bentinck, and the race, it is almost superfluous
to observe, was brought to an issue without those disap-
pointments which so repeatedly occur at meetings where
the lock' ys are not under proper control,—the certainty
of being fined for any infraction of the regulations
has so wonderful an effect on these occasions, that
horses, which, with a weak or incompetent of-
ficial, would be scarcely manageable, become quiet
as lambs when the noble lord undertakes the
direction of their riders. The race was a very
hollow thing—Miss Elis, the property of the noble
starter, winning in a canter by at least six lengths. The
rain, which had previously descended without intermis-
sion, partially ceased during the race, but came down
with renewed vigour immediately after it was decided.
The Queen's Plate created some interest, but for the
purposes of speculation was scarcely mentioned until the
numbers of the starters were put up.
Of these and the other events decided up to half•past
four o'clock, we subjoin such details as the shortness of
the intervals permitted us to collect.

The start to ,k place exactly at the time fixed (half-
past two). Aristides, who had been restive and was led
to the vost, jumping off with the lead, followed by
2Egis, Miss Elis, and a ruck of horses, including Board-
ing-school Miss, John o'Gaunt, and Naworth ; the Libel
and Pythia also lying in good places. At the distance,
Aristides fell behind the two fillies, and Agis went on
with the running to the turn round the hill, where
Aristides dropped further into the ruck, and Miss Elis,
passing /Egis, went on with a clear lead. On re-appear-
ing in sight Miss Elis and .2Egis were in the same posi-
tion, Boarding-school Miss, Giantess, Pythia and Not-
tingham lying up, Roderick and Lothario, who had been
in the rear at the earlier part of the race, having also
good places. They came thus to the last turn, in making
which iLiis ran against a post, broke it short to the
bottom, and thus lost too much ground to have any
further chance in the race ; the post fell before Lothario,
but without, as we could learn, touching or disappoint-

ing him. This accident gave Miss Eifs a strong- lead,
and increasing in every stride she ultimately won by at
least six lengths. Lothario took the second place on lEgis's
diasappeorance, but was followed by Roderick, who
passed him at the distance and maintained his advantage
; Ajax was fourth, Pythia fifth, and Venus sixth.

lowed by Queen of the Gipsies, and Psalmsinger; the
latter then went in front, with Physalis in waiting, was
never caught, and won cleverly by a length. Example,
Pic Nic, and Sir Francis, were close up.
THE GRATWICKE STAKES.—At the time our report
was forwarded yesterday we were ignorant that Cowl
had broken down badly in the pastern joints of both
hind legs, close to the hoof ; he was pulling hard at
the time.
Our report of the first day's races was forwarded by
horse express frk m the Heath, but by some accident or
mismanagement on the road, having been forwarded by
the goods' trains from Guildford, instead of the eight
o'clock train, was not received until Wednesday morning.
The people at Nine Elms give at different version of the
affair.
THE Cur.—The Stewards have decided that Win-
chester is entitled to run as a maiden horse; his weight,
therefore, will be 6st 31b.

ETON AND WESTMINSTER BOAT-RACE.
This event came off on Tuesday, and, as is usual with races
amongst members- of the Universities or public schools,
created the most lively interest, and was looked forward to
with anxiety, not only by the parties intimately concerned
and their friends, but by all classes of rowing men.
The last race between Eton and Westminster was in 1843,
when the former was victorious. An endeavour was made
to get up a contest last season, but, after some correspond-
ence between the parties, the public "suffered a 'disappoint-
ment. Thu gauntlet having been thrown down by the
Etonians about six weeks ago, the challenge was readily ac-
cepted by the Westminster party, who immediately set
about getting themselves in the finest possible condition to
retrieve their lost laurels.
We have been given to understand that the Etonians had
not the benefit of any aid of this sort, and it is perhaps but.
justice to them to state that many changes were made in
their boat before the crew of yesterday were determined on,
WhilAt, on the other hand, there was but little shifting in the
Westminster party, who were soon selected, and had thus the
opportunity of great practice with each other.
The distance selected was from Barker's-rails, Mortlake,
down to Putney (a distance of four miles and a half), with
tide, and at a few minutes after two they appeared at their
stations.

The Westminster party were in a new out-rigger Avery
much resembling the Claspers' boat, built expressly for them
by Noulton and Wylde ; and the Etonian4 in a very hand-
some cutter, constructed by Goodman. The colours for West-
minster were pink ; those of the Etonians light blue.
On the signal being given for the start, the Etonians went
away at once, but the 'Westminster party. probably from ex-
treme anxiety to be off at the instant, slipped one or two of
their oars out of the rowlocks, and before they righted their
exceedingly light boat and got properly to work, their op-
ponents had got a length in advance of them. The West-
minster party, however, no sooner found themselves steady
than they pushed their boat up, and within about three hun-
dred yards of the starting place were alongside their rivals.
A few ;harp strokes were taken by each party, and before a
third of a mile, or rather less, had been rowed, the West-
minster scholars gradually rowed by their opponents. The
Etonians laboured hard to regain their proud position, but
their opponents gradually increased their lead the whole way
down, and won by a minute. The style of the winners was
the theme of general admiration, whilst that of their oppo •
rents was generally remarked to be inferior, although the
speed with which both boats went wasvery great. A steamer
( the Echo), which had been taken upon speculation by
Noulton and Lloyd, conveyed a large party of the West..
minster scholars and their friends, with a few of the past and
present Etonians, and eight-oared cutters, with gentlemen of
the Oxford Rooms, Cambridge Rooms, with the Leander and
other great clubs, accompanied the race, which was certainly
not so close as had been anticipated.
HORSELYDOWN REGATTA.

A good race with six free watermen, two from Horsely-
down Old stairs, two from St. George's Stairs, and two from
Horielydown New Stairs, wasirowed on Tuesday in the pr,-
sauce of a great number of spectators, for a new skiff and
other prizes, given by the residents of the neighbourhood.
First Heat—James Morris (red), 1 ; Thomas Baker
(blue), 2 ; Thomas Bradley (pink), 3. The men started
from Horselydown Old Stairs, round East-lane-pier, round a
boat off Still- stairs-house, and back t 9 Horselydown Old
Stairs. Baker took the lead, but after half a mile was
passed by Morris, who won by four lengths.
Second Heat—Daniel Nokes (stripes), 1 ; John Morgan
(yellow), 2; J. Gengill (green), 3. Morgan took the lead,
but was soon waited upon by the winner.
Third Heat—Baker, 1 ; Bradley, 2. A smart race, won
by two or three lengths.
Fourth Heat—Baker, 1 ; Morris, 2 ; Bradley, 3 ; Nokes, 4.
It was a very close race throughout, the men being on one
another's quarters for some distance, and a very hard race
for second place.
Grand Heat—Morris, 1 ; Baker, 2. Well rowed and won
by two lengths.
