oldi. Retriever, 6 yrs old, 7st. I lib., won the richest 

 Goodwood Stakes ever known, 1,380 sovs., and his gallant 

 owner and party won something like £10,000 in bets! Re- 

 triever also carried off the Chesterfield Cup, and his party 

 again won their money. The Drawing Room Stakes were 

 won by Envoy, entirely by the superior jockeyship of Robin-

 Stakes by a head, beating, in both cases, capital fields. 

 The Great Yorkshire Handicap was carried off by Brother
