SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
GOODWOOD RACES.
RACE COURSE, FIVE O'CLOCK, TUESDAY AFTERNOON.
The Leauty of the scenery, the aristocratic grade of the
company, the magnitude and importance of the prizeg, and
the determination evinced in every branch of the manage-
ment to give character and eclat to the meeting, combine to
ren. er it altogether unapproachable. Upon its varied at-
tractions, it has been our duty to enlarge, year after year, on
each occasion having some new improvement on the course,
some addition to the sport, or some judicious enlargement of
the rules to present to notice ; and such was our task a. short
time back, when we submitted an outline of the many rich
Stakes and Cups open to competition, and of the fresh regula-
tions for the more effectual exclusion of the " black sheep of
the Turf." At that time, however, although aware that
workmen had been actively employed for several months,
we were ignorant of the extent to which the march of im -
provement had extended. We were agreeably surprised,
therefore, to find that the course had been widened about six
or seven yards. The turf on the straight running had
taken up and re-laid, making it, iu the opinion of all practi-
cal men, perfect. The inclosure at the statid has been ex'
tended to the judge's chair, at the lower end, and round the
beeeh trees, and back to the road at the other; seats have
been placed round some of the trees for the accommodation
of the ladies, and if the gentlemen can be
pre-
vailed upon to bear in mind fur whom and With wht
intention they were provided, this part of the
inclosure will be found an agreeable shelter in hot weather.
Some less striking improvements might be mentioned; froms
this, however, we are prevented by the early commence nor:
of the racing, and the necessity cf dispatching our report .
time for publication. At present, therefore, we must contilw
ourselves to a brief notice of the opening of the meeting this
afternoon. In every respect it has come up to our expects
tions. The weather, although showery, and at times wisest:
sonably cool, is favourable, and the company assembled
within the stand and its inclosure exceedingly numerous for
a first day, embracing a display of rank and beauty that
Ascot alone can equal. The Goodwood party includes, be-
sides the Duke and Duchess of Richmond, the followiO4
noble and distinguished personages :—Duke and Duchess O
Bedford, Earl and Countess of Chesterfield, Earl and Counteo
Eglinton, Earl of Verulam, Earl of Stradbroke, Earl of 1:08'
