It was a match from start to finish. Below the distance Marvel seemed to be travelling muoh faster than Galloping Queen, and it was only when the three-year-old began to bear acroas the course that the bare chance cropped up of Galloping Queen wearing him down. Still, in Bpite of a determined finish on the part of T. Loates, to which the filly made good response, she could not get on terms, and Lord Hartington was by half a length oredited with hia second Stewards' Oup, the predecessor of

Marvel being Monaco, who vanquished 26 opponents 14 years ago. Wednesday, July 30.

(H Chaioner) 0 Mr Harding Cox's Chevy Chaie, 3yrs, 7 0 (Barnard) 0 Betting : 7 to 2 agefc Papyrus, Bto 1 Brackley, 100 to 11 Silver Spur. The front rank was formed of Meadow Brown, Hinnington, John o' Gaunt, Brackley, and Armada until a mile from home. Then several changes took place in the van, and with Braokley leading down the hill Meadow Brown and Hinnington in turn resigned to Silver Spur and Papyrus, with Gay Hampton wide »n tbß left. The last-mentioned declined to put his best foot foremost, and at the entrance to the rails it was plain that Papyrus had the race in hand. The moment that Tommy Loateß called upon Papyrns he went out and won easily by a length, while Silver Spur managed to deprive Braokley of second place. Thursday, July 31. goodwood cup, Value SOOsovs, added to a sweepstake of 20sovs each, Two miles and a-half. Colonel North's b m Philomel, by Philammon— Chrysalis, syrs, 813 ... ...

A very slow-run race. Mercy, who had been unable to seoure a situation in a small handicap last week at Great Yarmouth, led until half a mile from home. The command was then assumed by Philomel, and, thanks to a jady finish on the part of Golden Maze and the lack of class in Grimea, Colonel North's mare won, all out, by a couple of lengths, the three-year-old refusing to run home straight. Tbiday, August 1, OHBSTBBFIBLD CUP (Handicap). Value SOOsovs, added to a sweepstake* of ISsovi each ; fctae second received Wsovb out of the itakes. Craven course. Mr Ablngton's br h Father Oonfesior, by The Abbott— Stillroom Maid, 6yrs, 9.6 (T Cannon) tl Duke of Beaufort's b o Edgardo, by Lammermoor Ermellne, 3yrs, 6.4 ... „.

(Allsopp) 0 Betting : 6to 4 agst Father Confessor, 10 to 1 Silver Spur, 100 to 6 Edgardo. At the distance Mortaigne collapsed, and when Father Confessor challenged Edgardo Silver Spur also made ber effort, and with the three hanging together the favourite suffered for want of room. He continued, nevertheless, to persevere under difficulties, and in a most exciting finish tied Edgardo on the post, with Silver Spur beaten by a short head. Deciding Hsat.— Betting : 11 to 4 on Father Confessor. Making the best use he oould of his weight, Edgardo stretched out with a six-lengths' lead, which the other did not diminish until descending the hill. Then, in the easiest part of the course, Father Confessor reduced the gap, and having taken the inside berth, he waa at the heels of Edgardo at the entrance to the rails. He remained there to the distance, where Edgardo was being ridden vigorously, and to such purpose that he straightened the neok of Father Confessor, who had nearly caught him, For the remainder of the journey the issue was well disputed, and with just a little saved for the last half dozan strides, Father Confessor squeezed to the front and obtained the award by a head. Value of the stakes, £477.
