Semec of His Favorites as Seen at the Goodwood Raees, “Cockaine's” letter to San Francise> Argonaut, It is a curious thing to note the sort of peo- ple that Albert Edward delights to surround himself with, and who, despite the high-minded speeches he may make in public when laying a foundation stone, or deciaring some hospital open, Dut too plainly show in what direction his real and individual tastes lie. I fancy that in no other place, or at no other time, is a bet- ter exemplification of this to be found than in the guest list-at Goodwood park during the race week. Ht is indeed surprising when one considers the position of the Duke of Rich- mond, who Is the third peer of the kingdom, that he should lend himseit to such a course | Inevely to please his future king. It is, in fact, all the more surprising still when it is remem- bered that the duke is one of the foremost con- | servative peers in the house of lords, and a man who for political ability and statesmanlike | qualities takes rank second only to the marquis During the race is about the only time that Goodwood wee! his grace or his family, his estates in Scotland being now his favorite country residence, and ins whom one would think would be more con- to him and his generally exhibited tastes, ¢ fills his house with national and political nonentities—men who, if racing and actresses were abolished by act of parliament, would never ve known except as possessors ot tities on which they reflect no honor. Take the young Duke of Portland, for in- stance. What on earth does he ameunt to, or ot what earthly use is he tothe country of which he is a born legisiator? He is a young man or about seven-and-twenty, who five years azo was elevated from the position of plain Mr. Cavendish-Bentinck, a subaltern in the Grena- | dier Guards, to that of the eizhteenth peer of the five hundred-odd of the kingdom, with @ ducal coronet, hundreds of thousands of pounds 8 year, and several splendid residences, both town.and country. Like all other shallow young men who “come into money” of a sudden, he straightway went on the turf. Before then a comparatively obscure personage, albelt the | known heir of his uncle, the late Duke, who | was supposed to be a leper. he at once leaped into protinence and notoriety as anew mem- ber of the Prince of Wales’ “set.” I don’t mean tosay that the young man is fast, atleast not in the way that_the Earl of Shrewsbury and the Marquis ot Huntiey are fast, but he certainly keeps fast company. He poses as a goody- ‘oudy youth, and is highly spoken of by all. old ies. Trather fancy he has as good a time aa the others on the quiet, and, lacking the hon- esty to show It, prefers to pass fora prig. At all events, whatever his means may be, and his accidental title, he is_no person to shove over the heads of men who do something besides breed race-horses, and whose achievements are more beneficial to. their eouatry than the win- ning of the Goodwood Cup, a victory this year gained by the Duke of Portland's horse St. Simon. ‘Then Sir John Astlev is another of the favored couple of dozen who single with royalty on this | oceasion. Sir John Astley is an authority on | horse-racing. If anybody can inform me what other qualification he possesses for association with swells I should be pleased to heur it. Mr. W. G. Craven is another regulation pal. Though he does not possess a title himself he is the nephew of the Earl of Craven, and aside trom his horsey accomplishments he is the com- plaisant husband of Lady Mary Craven, a cer- tain rapid daughter of the last Earl of Hard- wicke,'a lady who, though some years his senior, had her name considerably “involved” with that of the Prince when he was quite young.

He was trouled about thirty years azo with constant headche and aud} troubles of various gorts hd kinds and his phy- sician directed him tofy riding.
