[SPECIAL DESPATCH TO THE HERALD BY CABLE.) LONDON, July 29, 1875. The race for the Goodwood Cup was ran on the Goodwood course to-day, ‘ FAVORABLE WEATHER, Fine weather prevatied througnout the day.

The betting previous to the start was 2 tol against Apology, 4 to 1 against Kaiser, 4 tol against Carnelian, 7 to 1 against Aventuriere, 10 to 1 against Scamp and 12 to 1 against Trent. THE RUNNING TO THE WINNING POST. came near to the homestretch, when Aventuriere passed Scamp and Trent, winning cleverly by half a ldngth. BEATEN EARLY AND OUT OF FORM. ~ Apology was beaten earty in the race; Laay Love ran out of form, and Kaiser did badly, MARIE STUART WITHDRAWN. Mr. Crawford’s Marie Stuart was withdrawn just before the startin favor of Lord Ailesbury’s Aventuriere, the winner. THE RACE. They got cleverly away, pretty well all in a bunch, with Aventuriere tailing off toward the Yast of the ruck. Alter passing out of the straigut Scamp went to the front, followed closely by Trent and Kaiser. Aventurtere then came up and challenged Apology, but the latter was out of form and had to fall back in company with Lady Love. Carnelian was still doing well in third place, Coming down the hill, toward the straight Tun home, Lord Atlesbury’s filly came up to Car- nelian, and, steadily forging ahead, joined Scamp and Trent as they came inside the distance, Trent then fell back, and, alter an ex- citing race, Aventuriere beat Scamp by half a length, with Trent a bad third. Time, 5 minutes and 11 seconds. Last year the Goodwood Cup was won by Don- caster, Kaiser second and Miss Toto third. Three others started, Barbillon, Lilian ana Organist, making a fleld of six. Time, 4:53. THE SCENE ON THE GROUNDS, There was a fine display of fashion on the grounds. The Foart-in-hand Club waa well repre- sentea, The Prince of W: and Prince Teck rode on Lord Londesborough’s coach. Of other coaches present tere were tnose of the First and Second Life Guarda, the Scots Fusileers, the Cola- stream Guards, the Scots Greys, the Tenth Hus- sars, Lord Langford’s, Sir H. Thomson’s, the Mar- quis of Worcester’s and Major Furnival's. PROUD OF HIS LICENSE. Major Furnival wore his licensing badge, au- thorizing bim to drive the team, set as a gold pin. THE AMERICAN RIFLEMEN ON THR GROUND. The members of the American fifle team at- tended the races, REMARKABLE SALES. Since the entries for the Goodwood Cup were Made two of the most celebrated animals en- gaged have been sold, @ horse and a mare, and in each instance the price paid was the largest ever known, a fact that will in itself cause tne Goodwood Cup of 1875 to be memorable, The Duke of Westminster, @ grandson of that Marquis of Westminster who on being asked by the Amer- icans to put a price on Touchstone replied, “Pus me down the fee simple of the United States and that should net buy mim,’’ has given Mr. Merry the enormous sum of £14,000 for Doncaster and the same gentleman has been fortunate enough to sell Marie Stuart for £4,200 to Mr. Crawiord, a very wealthy Scoteh gentleman who owns a lot of mud about Glasgow as well a3 some forests in the Highlands. Sir Joseph Hawley was considered fortanate when im one year he produced Rosicrucian, Blue Gown and Green Sleeve, but he bh been comple‘ely outdone by Mr. Merry, who in one season was fortunate enough to breed Marie Stuart and buy as public auction for 900 guineas a colt that developed into Doncaster. With this pair he Managed to win the Derby Oaks and St. Leger, the Goodwood Cup, Ascot Cup, Alexandra Plate and a host of smaller races, Doncaster, there can be no doubt, is the champion long distance win- ner of the age, and yet in the St. Leger ne was beaten by his stable companion, Marie Stuart, after one of the most brilliant finishes that ever was Witnessed, The father of ‘MR. MERRY was @ poor pediar, who had all that shrewdness for which the countrymen of Burns are famous, One day, walking with his pack on his back over the hills, he picked up a stone which attracted his attention. He asked nothing about the stone in that neighbornood, but during one of his visits to England he submitted it to an expert, who told him that it contained the richest tron, The pack was thrown om one side, and Mr. Merry ultimately became one of the largest ironmasters in England, The business of his son was recently sold for something like two million dollars, Itisa REMARKABLE FACT that the great cup races in England have never yet been earried off by the samo horse except in one instance, when The Hero won the triple event. Tim WhiMler won two and ran a dead heat for the third. Doncast there can be no question, would have won all three but for th 1 lant captain who went with him to Doncaster last year eating a very hearty dinner, whicn caused him to sleep so soundly that the time for entering had expired before he woke up. Ely won two out of the three races, a8 also did Van Tromp, Ted- for expenditures of money on the canal, No farther testimony of consequence was. taken to-day 4 dington and Fandango.

The running pace was slow until the horses” deen faliures, or comparatively so, at the stad. has been said facetiously that the Goodwood race- course is the bess farm om the DUKR OF RICHMOND'S ESTATE, ‘The course owes its existence to tae late Lord George Bentinck, who caused it, together witn what is Knowo the “Halnaker Galop,” to be made for his Derby horse Gaper todo his work on, “One good race will pay for the lot,” said His Lordship; but it is to be feared that Gaper, who had been backed to win £180,000 for Cotherstone’s Derby, added to the expense. With the first day of the Goodwood race week may be said to ter- minate the London season, Many of those unlucky people who have not received an invitation to meet the Prince of Wales at Goodwood House, or to be the guest of Prince Edward of Saxe Weimar at Molecomb, or to take up his quarters at the charming Lavant, may still be seen driving in the “ Row,’’ but the form is voted vad. Brighton is full of visitors who are making a toil of pleasure. ‘The Bedford is packed from foor to ceiling with lords, and ali bachelordom is at the Old Ship, and yet Brighton is two hours and a half from the course, and this means dinner at ten. » Her Maj- esty’s Hussars bave occupied Bognor, a very pretty littie seaside place, only about an hour’s drive from the grand stand, The regimental drag has Deen brought down in order to do full bonor to the occasion. ‘Tue Biues are also here with their coach, and the ‘‘guaners and drivers”? are 1m great force, ‘6 FOUR-IN-HANDS present @ pretty sight, more especiaily about | luncheon time, They are drawn up at the end of tne lawn, from whica they are separated by a road. Every now and then we see Lady Clara Vere de Vere stepping datotily across the greensward, | and, amid pretty confusion, mount to the roof of the coach of her pet regiment. On a weil wooded | plateau, beautifully kept and commanding a {ull view of the course, the “house party’’ have ap- propriated turee comfortapie bencnes. Behind them, under the refreshing shade, there Is more picnicing than on any ocuer spot of the same size in the world. Exquisitely dressed young ladies are showing how much a healtay inglisa girl ean eat, to the evident admiration of @ number of rough betting men who are for the time being awed into respectful demeanor. On this lawn every one must be om his best behavior, for as likely as not while you are walking you willcome across the Princess of Wales tripping across it on the arm of the Duke of Vam- bridge or the Prince of Waies escorting some foreign princes on a visit to the Court, So- clety was dreadfully scandalized here three years ago, When the celebrated “Lady of the Camelias,”” Mabel Gray, appeared on the scene in company with a young nobleman, who was rather cele- brated because of the way he sometimes outraged decorum, The ladies were angry, and certainly “Mabel” was very pretty. Undoubtedly Good- wood is one of the prettiest spots OUT OF PARADISE. There 18 Such a@ variety of scenery. On one side we look across the rolling south downs, on the other the woods streich far away to Arundel Castle, the magnificent residence of the Premier Duke of England, the priest-ridden Norfolk. Away te the leftare a series of naked looking hills, but with well wooded crests; in the rear the fortifications 0! Portsmouth may be discovered, and on tne long stretcn of tabie land the tall spire of Chichester Cataedral stands prominently out in the GOLDEN LANDSCAPE. But this year the landscape 1s not so golden ag usual, The summer has been very backward, and there 1s stii much corn toripen, Far away over the low pepper pots (for we ean call them nothing else) of Goedwood House wé.can discern the white sails of the fleet of yachts lying in the So- lent, until Onally the eye rests on beautiful slopes to Sandown Bay, in the Isle of Wight. No won- der that this week 1s seized on as a holiday by all classes of turfites, gentle ana simple, “and the tenants of the Duke of Richmond must bé glad that thisisso. In the many villages nestling in tne hills surrounding the course lodgings are at a | great premiam, and “Hodge,” whois earning only filteen sbillings a week, out of whica he has to pay from a shilling to eighteen pence for rent, thinks nothing of asking £10 for his whitewashed ttle sitting room and two scantily furnishea bed- indeed, a GLEAM OF SUNSHINE. - Truth compels us to state that, so far as the races concerned, Goodwood is fiot what it was, His Grace the Duke of Richmond, like most | politicians, has rather aclose fist. Lord George | Bentinck in his day thought nothing of taking | bali a score nominations to the Ham Stakes, which | is a sweepstakes of £100 each, That once famous | race, which has witnessed the déput of so many celebrated horses, this year obtained only four- teen riders in all, The Duke of Richmond is remarkably fond of allowing owners of racehorses to run for their owp Money. Sweepstakes of fiity sovereigns each, balfiorfeit, with nothing added, please him immensely. However pleasant, there- fore, Goodwood may be to the visitors it 18 not so Muck so to those wno in reality furnish the sinews of war. At little meetings like Croyden it is not an uncommon thing for £500, or even £1,000, to be added to the stakes by the lessees. The Dake of Richmond, large as is the revenue he derives from tue stands, draws the line at £300, and even this 18 NOT CASH. It is the Goodwood Cup, described as worth £300; but It is notorious thas when Goodwood cups have been sold by auction they have fetched little more than balf this sum. As compared with Ascot, with its five hundred guinea cups, Alex- andra’s plates of £1,000, and £1,000 added to the Prince of Wales plates, tne Goodwood manage- ment ts niggardly Indeed. This is the only part about Goodwood titwt is not glorious, THR PRINCE OF WALES, who seldom enters horses at other meetings, took two nominations here, both of which were taken up by the veteran Mr. Bowes, who won a Derby forty years age. Of late owners have been afraia | to run St, Leger horses for the Goodwood Cup. There were a number of three-year-olds engaged on the present occasion, but none of tne St. Leger favorites, From a sporting point of view it was a pity that Mr, Merry sold his pair, as the Duke of Westminster did not care to run Doncaster, and Marie Stuart narrowed down to a great extent the interest that would otherwise have been felt | in Gang Forward and Aventurtere. Treat could | not be prepared, 80 asto give him a chance, nor could the great, grand looking Leolinus. The Derby winner ef last year, George Frederick, ts another horse that could not be trained, and he ts to take the place at tne Stud Company’s farm vacated by the sixteen-year-old macaroni, for whom Baroness Rotnschild recently gave upward of 7,000 guineas, Lord Strathnairn allowed his horse Avowal to be nominated, This is the son of an Arab that his Lordship used to ride when he commanded the troops in India, Lora Siraithnairo has @ very great idea of the Arab and | avery poor one of English racehorses. So stub- born was he while @ guest at Goodwood House last year on the point that English horses could not stay that Mr. Gerard Sturt, in a moment of irritation. said to him, ‘I will run the worst horse in my stable—one that can’t stay a mile—against your CONFOUNDED ARAB and give him 10 lbs. over any distance you like.’? The match was made, and the four mile Beacon Course at Newmarket was selected. Mr. Fox, an old vereren that had hardly a leg to staad on, was Mr. Sturt’s horse, Lord Stratunairn had the best of the match, as Mr. Fox broke down half a mile from home while 10 to 1 was being bettea on him, and at the finish he was beaten by halt a length. 1t will be gathered that Lord Strath- nairn overrated his horse. THE SCRNYS ON THE COURSE. It would pe hard to painta more dazzling pic- ture than that presented yesterday on the lawn. The Four-in-Hand Ciub ts well represented and Lord Lonaesborough’s handsome coach occupies & prominent position at the end of theline, The attention of the spectators is especially attracted to that coach, as the Prince ef Walea and Princo Teck are seated on the roof, the tormer on the left of the owner, The chocolate pody and yellow Wheels of the Marquis of Worcester’s coach next catch the eye, and the well known team of bays look rooms, Poor Hodge! Goodwood races are to him, | some drag of the Second Life Guards, and the Scotch Fusileers amd Coldstream Guards have also brought their coac! down, The Tenth Hussars bave jowy turnout, but they mast nat- urally feel @ littie blue, as it is rumored thatthe Grand Jury have found an indictment for misae- nor against tueir chief, Colonél Baker. Lord Longford, Sir H. Thompson and the Scots Grays are all close to, r, and at luneh time the om- cers of the iutter regiment were im great favor with tne fair sex. ‘The tollestes on the lawn were superb and the ladies came out in great force, dressing, appa- rently, with greater extravagance than usual, They appeared to be watching with considerable mmterest the operations of the betting men, Who, however, were on their good behavior, and, al- though the betung 3 heavy, moderaged their Voices out of respect for the fair auditors that were in listening distance. The Oup race was the great event of the day, and backers, as a rule, were hit procty nard, as Apology, Kaiser and Car- nelian appeared to carry the majority of the public money.

Gof, ot Cincinnati; Thomas, of Newcomb; Buchanan & Co., of Loutsville; Friebury, of Friebury; Wake- man, of Cincinnati; Francis, of Pegria; Boyd and Moss, of New York, representing the Uonven- tion of Distillers which recently assembied at @neinnati to consider the best interests of honest traders, were at the Treasury Departmen® to-day and lad a lengthy interview with the Com- missioner of internal Revenue, who was attended by Mr. Chesby, Solicitor of the Bureau; Mr. Holmes, Acting Chier of the Spirits Division, and Mr. Yarrgan, Chiefof the Special Agents’ Division. The members of the committee were encouraged by the Commissioner to present very freely their views upon the suoject of their visit, andin re- sponse all made suggestions with regard toa modification ef the regulations governing the trade in spirits, and especially requested a more stringent rule as to the transfer of gaugera and storekeepers, arguing that these oMcers should be transferred from one district to another and even from one State to another as oljten as once in thirty days, instead of sixty days, the pres- ent period for making transfers. Tae committee also wanted a modification of the rule gov- erning the transportation of old spirits, showing the natural outs, and the mat- ter of seizure upon technical grounds was also discussed, the commitice averring that very often seizures were made by government officers upon purely technical grounds and with- out proper eXamination, thus putting distillers and rectifiers to much unnecessary anaoyance, The interview lasted three hours, the Com- missioner and his assistants fully learning the views of the eommittee and answering any ques- tions upon which they desired information. No conciusion was reached. Tne Commissioner will, however, give tae suoject discussed careful atten- tion. After tae business tn the bureau with Com- missioner Pratt the committee paid their respects to the Secretary of the Treasury. THE CHEROKEE ELECTION.
