GOODWOOD MEETING.
WHEN DINNER IS ANNOUNCED. The Goodwood meeting is the next richest meeting in the Empire to Ascot. During the four days £35.000 is paid to winners, not counting money to the owners of placed horses. Indeed, on the opening day nearly £II.OOO goes to the winners, a sum equal to Ascot's princely stakes, and on each of the other days the figures are about £7OOO, £6500 and £7500. A large revenue goes to the Duke of Richmond from Goodwood races and helps to keep up his wonderful house. It has one of the most beautiful tapestry rooms in the country, which is always used as a sort of annexe to the suite of the King and Queen when they are there. It is from this room that the message is sent that Their Majesties are ready for dinner. Not until then do the host and hostess join them to lead the way to the dining room, and dinner is announced in the drawing room.
