THE GOODWOOD CUP, 1836. 77 



leathern unwhisperables within ten miles of the Metropolis, 

 conceived would give him a chance of adding another Cup 

 to the number already gracing the sideboard at Stockwell. 



After some very heavy betting at even on Hornsea, and 

 2 to 1 agst Elis (t.), and a few tin-pot wagers of 8 to 1 agst 

 Rockingham, and 17 to 1 agst Alfred, the following came 

 to the post. 



Lord Chesterfield's Hornsea, 4 yrs old, Sst. 101b. ; Lord Lichfield's Elis, 3 yrs old, 78t' 

 91b. ; Lord Chesterfield's Bamfylde, 4 yrs old, Sst. lib. j Mr Robertson's Lucifer, 4 yrs 

 old, Sst. 1 01b. ; Mr Robertson's- Rupert, ag-ed, 7st. 51b. ; Duke of Richmond's Sepoy, 3 

 yrs old, 6st. 101b. ; Mr Theobald's Rockingham, 6 yrs old, lOst. lib. ; Lord Suffield's 

 Alfred, 3 yrs old, 6st. 131b. ; Duke of Beaufort's Esmeralda, 3 yrs old, 6st. 61b. ; and 

 Major Hancock's Khylan, 3 yrs old, Sst. 61b. 



Bamfylde was started to make play for Hornsea, and this 

 he did, at a capital pace, the three year olds lying in his 

 wake, saving only Elis, who hung behind, a trifle in advance 

 of Hornsea. This order of running was maintained until 

 within a quarter of a mile from home, where, in obedience 

 to orders, Bamfylde resigned his place to Hornsea, Elis 

 running second, and obviously in difficulty ; the favourite's 

 position was never threatened, and he won in a canter by 

 two lengths ; Mr Robertson's two were next to Bamfylde 

 (who was a good third), and behind them, Alfred, Sepoy, 

 and Rockingham, and finally, Esmeralda and Khylan, who 

 had parted company from the body of horses at the two- 

 year old post. 



From Goodwood, Rockingham went as usual to Brighton, 

 where also, as usual, he won the Gold Cup, value 100 sovs., 

 given by his Majesty, added to a Sweepstakes of 10 sovs. 

 .each, for three yr olds, 6st. 121b.; four, Sst. 31b.; five, Sst. 

 121b.; six and aged, 9st. 31b.; m. and g. allowed 31b. — 

 Two miles. — Four subs.
