ASCOT RACES.-FRIDAY.

A marked change occurred in the weather overnight, and
the cold morning was succeeded by a drimling unpleasant
rain, not sufficiently heavy, however, to serve agriculturist&
Notwithstanding the inducements of nine events on the
card, the attendance did not exceed that usually present on
the last day of the meeting. In comparison with the
"Cup day,' the heath looked completely deserted.
The extensive programme necessitated an early
commencement of business. Of the four com-
petitors for the Tenth Ascot Triennial Stakes, two
were from the Whitewall establishment, Early Purl being
made the favourite. He, however, was in difficulties all the
way, and his stable companion, Queen Berths, making all
the running, won in a canter. The two favourites—Anonyms
and Flash in the Pen—wen bowled over by Walloon, who
disappointedhaving his party when backed for a large stake
at Epsom, was only supported to a limited extent by the
stable. Halfe-dozen runners from the eighteen coloured
on the card for the Pinholes' Wokingham Stakes came to
the starting post, for which race the talent stuck to
confidence, but their judgment proved incorrect, as
Exchequer, displaying his old form, won easily by
a couple of lengths. Walloon's victory in the Rail-
way Stakes caused him to be an immense fa-
vourite, but the &baps colt came to the rescue of
the bookmakers, and the favourite, showing unmistakable
" carriehoess " when collared, was beaten nearly a length.
The live entries for the Cup Course Plate started, and the
victory of Lord Coventry's colours was hailed by the gen-
tlemen with delight. Birdlinder bolting in the Queen's
Plate, Caller Ou cantered throughout, and won with
consummate ease. The last two races proved adverse to the
favourites, Lord of Lynne entirely reversion his running
with Southport in the Borough Members' Plate • while in
the Half-mile Plate, Southport, who has always dislinguished
himself over the Ascot course, terminated the sports of the
meeting by furnishing a fine race with Reindeer end Vigil.
