. AMERICAN HORSES FARE POORLY IM THE GOODWOOP RACES A London, Eng., July .11. Goodwood racing was up to the usual Goodwood standard, hut the brilliance of the meeting suffered from the enforced absence of King George, exigencies of state preventing his expected attendance and severely disappointing many who had anticipated seeing the king and queen patronizing the sport. As a whole, the meeting was in its racing disappointing to American expectations, only Sweeper II. scoring. This big son of Rrooinstick tixik the Richmond Stakes in good style from Charniian and Melody. He was ridden by the crack French jockey G. Stern and, although ho repeated his former trick of swerving, was soon straightened out by his capable pilot and won from Charniian by a neck, which competent observers decided Stern could have made a more decisive distance had he eared to do so. Mr. Whitneys Borrow was as well backed as anything to win the Stewards Cup, lint was unlucky and cut oft at the start and being considerably knocxed about, had no chance. The fact that trainer .Toyner had confidence in the gelding may be accepted as evidence that tin Middle Park Plate winner of last year lias ripened into good form and he will probably be winning races against good opposition in the course of tin? coming autumn campaign. The Stewards Cup fell to Braxted. which led from start to finish, lie was an outsider In the betting at 25 to 1, hut his. brother, Mcroutio, was post favorite at 5. to 1. As he finished third, the rare spectacle of two brothers finishing in the first three in an important race was witnessed, possibly a case without precedent. For some time past reports of the excellent promise of August Belmonts two-year-old colt Black Rock, by Rock Sand Black Poplar, have been current. He made his debut in the Findon Stakes on the second day of the Goodwood meeting and, when seeming likely to win comfortably, suddenly wavered and dropped back. After the race it devoIoied that the colt had split a pastern and a subsequent veterinary examination disclosed the injury to be so severe that the case was hopeless and the good colt was destroyed, a deplorable loss to the stable. A distinct surprise of the meeting was the unexpected defeat of the champion sprinter. Sunder, belonging to J. B. Joel, in the newly established King George Stakes. The .result of this event was supposed to be confined to Sunder and Mushroom and the meeting of the pair was looked forward to with great interest. As it turned out. Sunder disposed of Mushroom without difiiculty, but in the. last fifty yards Sol Joels Spanish Prince, a3 to 1 "Chance iif the betting, came with a rare burst of speed and snatched the race from Sunder by a head to the extreme delight of "Solly," who enjoys nothing more keenly than to bowl over one of his brothers liorses. At Derby, the stands in the club enclosure and Tattersalls have been entirely rebuilt, and will he quite readv for the meeting to be held on September i, 7 and 8. The ground in both enclosures has been considerably raised and the public will now be able to see the racing without resorting to the stands. Tins inconvenience experienced hitherto in getting to and from the paddock to the ring has been done away with, as a passage between the club enclosure and the course will entail but a slight journey. Quite the most popular win of the week at Goodwood was that secured tiy Dean Swift in the Chesterfield Cup. Mr. Joels old horse had been doing so well at home of late that his owner and trainer knew lie had only to run up to Wantage form to win, and the news being made public, he had any number of friends. A hundred yards from home he seemed to have the race won easily, but swerving on the post, he only got home a head, to the accompaniment of rounds of applause. It is said that he will now lie retired from racing for the remainder of his day. Lord Derby having been placed in mourning by the death of the Dowager Duchess of Devonshire, his lordship has leased his liorses to Arthur James and they will race in that gentlemens name and colors until the period of mourning expires. The well-known jockey. C. Foy, has, says Deutseher Sport, left Germany for a nursing home in London to be treated for blood poisoning. He expects to be able to resume riding for C. Seilierts stable at the Cologne August meeting. The fitly by Isinglass out of Sceptre, which was bought at the sale of Sir William Bass horses in training to go to Italy, lias been named Coronation by her owner, SIgnor Tesio. She will make her first appearance on an Italian race course In the Grand Prize of Leghorn on August 20. The race is confined to three-year-olds. W. Flynn. the South Australian jockey, may slay over here to ride. He had a mount in Mr. Sieviers colors at Hurst Park last week, and his speculative employer was very pleased with the manner in which lie handled .Taquette. In his chestnut filly by Isinglass Virginal, Lord Falmouth, who was one of the house party at Goodwood this year, possesses a very smart two-year-old. Her name is Belleisle, and the style in which she gallops is as good as anything we have seen this year. Seaforth. the best horse that Symiugton has so far sired, having regard for his wonderful exploits as a two-year-old, had to forego his engagement In the Duchess of York Plate through an affection which threatens the colts sight. Frank Wootton had a wonderfully successful time in the saddle at Goodwood, and when he got home on Hair Trigger II. in the Nassau Stakes, he credited himself with his eleventh winning mount of the week, and took a long lead in the. winning championship table. The well-known stallion, Bridge of Canny, has been purchased by David Mann ou behalf of Senor Pedro Chapar of Buenos Ayres. The son of Love Wisely and Santa Brigida lias won considerably over 0,000 in stakes, his numerous successes including the Gatwick Stakes, the Ascot Biennial Stakes, the Great Yorkshire Stakes, Liverpool Spring Cup, Great Foal Stakes, etc. From his appearance and pedigree this sire should prove a valuable acquisition to the Haras Chacahuco. to which establishment he will shortly be shipped. Sumter, the well-known American jockey in France- recently met with an accident while at exercise and broke his ankle. The Atlantic Stakes of 0,000, in the Liverpool Summer program for l.H-l, closed on Tuesday last witii the fine entry of 214. Beyond the accession of Messrs. L. Neumann. A. Tames and L. Winans to the list of owners whose stable earnings are 0,000 or more, no striking changes have taken place in the list. Lord Derby has increased his lead over his nearest competitor and J. B. Joel, Leopold de Rothschild. C. Hibbert, Lord Howard de Wabjen, Lord Rosebery. J. F. Hallick. Mr. Fairie, G. Edwardes, IT. P. Whitney and A. F. Basset have made more or less substantial gains.
