tho social features and the Surroundings Of the
aoodwood race meeting. one Of the most i'm
1Ortant 1t In OF the pleasan test OF the whole
turf year will doubtless be treated by another
pen, and shall therefore plunge without
delay INTO the racing, which was not quite up to
the average. There has, for long time, been
sad lack OF ram, and the ground at most OF the
training quarters has, In consequence, been so
hard that great many horses have been stopped
IN their work or pursued 1t In htfn manner. II
was on this account that we did not see at Good
wood many OF the principal ST. LeQer candidates.

and several more. or the cup horses three Of the
best went amiss or were absent Tor other reasons,
and though We saw several good ones that branch
oi sport was not up to the mark. OF the handicaps
the arst IN order OF time was
THE STEW ARDS CUP,
short distance race which generally has very
largo entry and leads to an immense amount Of
betting, into which spectators seem to enter with
Che greater spirit, tnasmuch as they have only
snort time TO do business, the handicap being
published only few days before the running Of
the race. On this occasion there were seventy
70 ne pOst-a rather smaller number than usual.
Frsuleln, q mare that had never distinguished
herself, but had been highly tried with her stable
companion, Lemnos, was made q tremendous
1avorite, being backed as II the race were already
over. Chingachg0ok, lair handicap horse, who
has won q few good races, was next In demand,
and after him came Novateur, the representative
OF n. Lefevre's Anelo-French stable, OF whom
nttle can be said except that he appeared to have
good chance at light weights. The Pearl. who
has not done much for a long time past,
was well supported by ner party on the
strength OF q private trial, and old
Ox0nisn, despite mis- weight, appears 10 be well
suited by the distance that he found many Trends.
Teacher won great number Of races last year,
and appeared to have got as well into the hanoi
cap as II her owner had framed 1t himself M0dena
dtd graat things as q two-year-olH, but she was
long In retirement until last season. when she was
''kept" for this very race, and was beaten by only
half length by Sister Helen when carrying four
pounds more than the weight which was now
assigned her. Leopard as q twOyear-0ld was .
promising animal, but he never fulfilled the
promise He had, however, been highly tried, and
his party considered that he had good chance.
Oxford Mixture is IN animal that rarely WINS, but
generally manages to get into place. Cantiniere
was the fastest two-year-old OF her time, but she
