Tuesday be,ng the Stakes' day, was, as a matter of course'
a wet one, and often as the Goodwood Stakes have been NI!,
in unfavourable weather, yet I believe it never was worse o 0
any previous occasion. Still, the interest which this value
able handicap excited drew together a larger assembliie
of sportsmen than might have been anticipateo
The defeat of Queen Mab by Wolfdog, and ,
consequent withdrawal from this race, for which she I_3,,fr
found many friends; the-announcement of Una's brffr,

would not go, gave great satisfaction to the bookmaketi;,
whose voices and pencils were in requisition even up to
time the horses were rounding the turn that leads int° of
straight running. 1 scarcely ever recollect any handicsP.

Brighton Meeting commences to-morrow with a

London, August 5. TELEGA.--

TO THE EDITuR OF THE SUN' 40111
SIR,-1 he late racing at Goodwood has shown pretty 'so!
the powers, capabilities, and qualities of Old Englar4l,o4
therbit, Pam, Arkwright, and Sting. I consider West 00
and Pam's chances for the St. Leger to have vanished cloy!
and Old England run his race in the most " lubberly"l3,'„ ?
imaginable. His push in the straight running proves
a doubt, that he is not capable of going apace when agte,
ing the winning post, for I could plainly perceive that ofi
doing.his best against Longitude at the finish of the '1
the Drawing-room Stakes. Arkwright looks well for"
year's Derby, and Sting will sting his opponents in tho,
before the Epsom Meeting for 1846 is recorded in the
of the past.
The Brighton Meeting commences on Tuesday 1° ce
Pavilion Stakes, which will or ought to be booked 0, re.,
tainty for Sting, Tug Net being second. Besides thse
there are only the Brighton Stakes which are likely t° 0114
any particular notice, for which about eleven will Iv °k,
the following :—Queen Mab, Joe Lovell, Pineapple,
Hack, Moustache, Subduer, Saddlebow, Mongrel, The Sevd
Rowena, and, perhaps, Poussin. Out of these, I fatteeert
duer, Joe Lovell, and My Old Hack will do the trick
them, having a slight preference for the former, wh°
