GOODWOOD RACES.
The races opened on Tuesday, but with little encouragement from the weather, for it rained all day, and pleasure folk wisely kept at home. Nevertheless, no fewer than twenty-nine horses started for the Steward's Cup ; which was carried off by Lord John Scott's Clothilde, (Quinton.) On Wednesday the weather was fine, but the company fell short of the average. The chief event of the day was the race for the Goodwood Stakes, for which ten started. They were won by Mr. Greville's Quince, (Ashmall,) after a smart race ; Mr. Aumont's Hervine (Spreoty) running second. The "Cup day," Thursday, drew a large assemblage of visitors. Only six horses started for this prize ; among them was Baron Roths- child's Baroncino, (Fordham,) a horse born in France of an English sire. He carried less weight as a "foreign horse" than his competitors, and he cleverly won the race by a length and a half. Mr. Elwes's Oulston (Wells) ran second. The races were brought to a close yesterday. The weather was fine, the company numerous, and the sport ample and excellent.
