THE GooDwooD RAcEs.-These ia
nous races in England in which Ameri-
cans have taken a lively interest from
the fact of the American hor es Prior
and Prioress, carried out by Mr.. Ten
Brock taking part in them. took place
in the Goodwood Park of the Duke of
Richmond on the week commencing the
last day in July. They consist of a va
riety of cups, handicaps, sweepstakes,
and first of all the ''Goodwood" cup
Racing commenced in this park in 1905,
and in the first years it was an ayisto-
cratic meeting of the nobility and veal
thy commoners of the rich shire of Sus-
sex, to which the usual sporting crowd
and half mounted gentry were not ad-
mitted. Still it was not entirely exclu-
sive, for the peasantry and retainers of
the large families considered themselves
invited and turning out to the annual
festival in the magnificent old park, in
homespun, enjoyed their homebrewed
ale and home baked cakes, the sight of
which was a refreshing rarity to the
eyes of the London gentry, who then
came to the sport in mail coach. for
which seats were engaged a month in
advance. Now the rail car brings thou
sands to the genial shade Of Greenwood
ffty-two miles from London, in an hour
They have now become the most famous
races in England.
Lord George Bentinck had much to
do with these races, the owner of a mag
nifcent stud of horses, and to him the
Duke of Richmond deferred their man
agement. He won the name of the
Napoleon of the Turf" His sudden
death in 1913, a favorite groom ascribed
to his diversion from the turf to the more
perilous paths of politics. From the
Goodwood races all defaulters at other
races are excluded, and the reputation
of the turf is maintained here in all
honor.
The Goodwood emp, as described by
the London Times, is a very rich and
costly affair, of the value of $780,
The course of the race is one of the
finest in the world. 1t is in the midst of
park Of unrivalled beauty and which
commands a landscape of surprising
loneliness, and is situated upon its high
est elevation, and has the appearance of
a railway embankment in the form of a
pear. In extent it allows Of four mile
run, and between the rails it has a width
sufficient to start sixty horses abreast.
Its fine green sward, elastic as India
rubber, affords fine footing either in
dry or wet weather.
In the recent races forty-four entries
were made, and the cup was taken by
the French horse Monarque. The A
erican horses came out fifth and sixth
All the American horses have been en-
tered by Mr.. Ten Brock for two addi-
tional races. Pryor and Lecompte are
entered for the Newmarket Houghton
meeting, a single dash of four miles one
furlong and one hundred and seventy
three yards, run Oct. goth. Lecompte
and Prioress are entered for the Sussex
county cup, a two mile and half dash,
at tie Lewes county meeting, on the
inst.
