Nineteen started. Won by threequarters of a length, a length between second and third.

The success of Prince Oxendon in the Goodwood Stakes yesterday was probably,in tho nature of a similar surprise to what Pharacre's victory in the Stewards' Cup was en.the opening day of the meeting on "uesday. Now fivo years old, Prince Oxondon did not begin racing till his three-year-old season, during which he won a sequence of four small races in nine starts. The successes were in the Newby. Plate (2 miles) at Thirsk, the Darlington Plate (1J miles) at Catterick Bridge, the Park Plate (1 mile, 3 furlongs) at' Newcastle, and the Castlegate Plate (1* miles) at Thirsk, all near the back-end of the season. Last year hia record was three seconds and two thirds in nine starts, all in small handicaps over a distance. It. is obvious that he was being regarded in the light purely of a stranger, and that he was not being ovcrraced; Up till near the end of last month he had raced only twice this season, again at the "smalls." In his first start he finished ninth in. tho Eipon City Handicap (1-i miles)'"at Eipon. on May 6, and at his next won the Folkestone Handicap Plate (1-J miles) easily on June 20. Following this success one critic wrote: "Prince Oxendon has thickened and made up into a fine specimen of a wcightcarrier. In fact, he was tho most handsome horse seen, out at the meeting." He was bred by Mr. B. F. Meyrick, and he is trained at Epsom, Surrey, by Victor Smyth, whose horses (excepting Prince Oxendon at Folkestone) have had a big following this season in England.—"Kangatira."
