FAMOUS GOODWOOD.
Something About n Historic English
Race Course.

The Goodwood race course Is quite
unique. 1t Is long way from sta
! ton and is not near any town, says
the London Taiier. 1t Is on hill the
top of which is shaped like horse
shoe, the space between the two horns
being represented by deep ravine
The course runs round the horseshoe
the start being at the end Of one
horn and the finish at the end of the
other. The result of this is that the
equestrians who on other courses con
trive to see both start and finish by
the simple process of riding across
while the race is in progress cannot
do so at Goodwood They must elect
which they will see and remain there.
On the other hand the course is very
easy to follow with glasses.
The races as an institution are com
paratively modern, but there must
have been hunt races and matches on
this course since the days of William
Ill, when we hear of the Goodwood
hunt as in existence. In 1900, howev-
er, the then Duke of Richmond made a
new course, which is practically the
present one. In 1901 the course was
completed, and in order to celebrate
this regular meeting was got up by
the duke with the assistance of the
hunt and some officers of the Sussex
militia and yeomanry, and prizes to the
value of about t1.O0O We're put I'D.
This meant a good sum in those DAYS.
This was the first Goouwood mcctu.

this company declining to furnish cleo

poses is being used.
My reasons for suggesting this action

the danger, both to persons and
