ASCOT HEATH ItACES.—Tmosnivr.
From tho outline of the engagements for the west
published on Monday, it will have been collected that Ike
prospects of tb meeting, in respect of sport, were barely tp
to the Ascot standard, and, in particular, that the attrslc-
tiona of the third and last dap were materially lessened by
the withdraws, of the Flying llutelinian and Vultigeur
from the Emperor's Plate, and the diseuntinuance of the
Great Western ltailway Handicap. With the provision for
the first day—always the best of the four—no fault could be
found, as, allowing fur the probability of small fields for
three or four race*, it included so many events of interest,
that we are disposed to think one or two could have been
spared to strengthen the programme for Friday • indeed.
should the railway Coollllllllleo be steadfast in their'detertui-
' nation nut to give a plate, a re-arrangement of the stakes
will become indispensable—if the four days are to be main-
tained. The meeting commenced mo-.t lavuurably as re-
garded weather, and with an Total which the presence of
bee Majesty alone could have ghee' it.
The court movements have always been so remarkable
for punctuality that some little surprise was manifested at
the non-appearance of the royal cortege at the entranc.: of
the new mile until within a sew minutes of the time finest
_

for the first race—half-past one. It consibted of nine car-
riages and four, preceded as usual by the Itl.ister of the
Buckhountis and the Royal Huntsmen, and was attended
by the usual retinue of mount: it servants.
In the carriage with the Queen were the Princess Royal,
the Duchess of Saxe Cobourg Gotha, and Prince Delay
of the Netherlands. Prince Albert followed in the next,

with the Prince of Wales, the Duke of Saxe (.'obourg
Gotha, and the Duke of Cambridge. In the other carriages
we observed the Prince of Leiningen, the Dukes of Devon-
shire, Norfolk, and Newcastle, Marquises of Westminster
and Ahercorn, the Countess of Besahorough, Sir George and
Lady Grey, Lady Oetavia Grosvenor, Lady Ad.litia Deward,
Lady Constance Gower, Lord Willituu l'owlett, and the
Lords and Lathes in Waiting.
It is scarcely neee,sary to add that her Maksty's reception
was loyal and affectionate; it was must graciously acknow-
ledged.
The Grand Stand, which has undergone several improve-
ments since last year, one of the most important being the
I raising of the lawn so as to admit of a much better view of
the racing than heretofore, was very fully and fashionably
attended, more so, perhaps, than would have been the case
bad the original charge for admission to the Exhibition in
little-pork been in force. We noticed in it and in the
smaller stands appropriated to the stewards of the races,
and the Jockey Club, the following influential members of
the aristocratic and sporting circles. Ills Exeelleacy the
Swedish Minister. Dukes: -Rutland, Richmond, alai Hue-
cleuch. Marquises: Exeter, Waterford, Ely, Stafford,
Drogheda, Kildare, Worcester, and Clanricartle. Mar-
chionesses: Ailcsbury, Drogheda, Stafford, and Kildare.
Earls: Zetland, Granville, March, Eglinton, Utheido,
Strathmore, St radbroke, Chesterfield, Wilton, Huston, Mans-
field, Grosvenor, Cardigan, (Bengali, Durham, Airlie.

Chesterfield, Wilton. Viscounts: Canterbury, Mubetone,
Clifdcn, 'Torrington, Enfield, Villiers, Laseelles, Cranley,

Endyn. Lords: Stanley, Robert Pelham Clinton, Itiliblee-
dale, Burleigh, 11. Gordon Lennox, George Paget. Vil-
liers. Ladies: Bateman, Elizabeth Laseelles, Burlei,;h,
Elisabeth Grey, Egerton, 61e. lion. Messieurs: 8. Her-
bert, It. Boyle, H. Pitt, Capt. Roam, Fred. Villiers, Francis

Wyndham, &c. &c.
It will be seen from the above list that the display of
"rank, beauty, and fashion" was worthy of Ascot; we
cannot speak so well of the general utteudance, which, it
must be admitted, was below the average.
Immediately alter the arrival of her Majesty racing com-
menced and proceeded up to the Ascot Stakes, which was
not run until near four o'clock. Inunethately after its de-
cision the illustrious party iu the Royal Stead departed for
Windsor Castle. Five races succeeded the Handicap, and
about half-past six a lung and must excellent day's spurt
was brought to a close.
To the courteous manner in which the noble Master of
the Buckhounds (the Earl of Beseborough) presided over
the arrangements of the course, all who had business to
transact can bear witness. His lordship's duties were ren-
dered more onerous by the absence of Mr. Hibbard, who,
we were sorry to hear, was tun ill to leave his bed; his son,
Mr. 11. ltlbburd, officiated for him as clerk of the course
and starter, and in each capacity acquitted himself satis-
factorily.
With the exception of the accident to Breit& in the raw
for the Queen's Vase, we heard of only one circumstance
that at all militated against the general eaMyinent; this
arose out of a quarrel and a fight between two men, which
terminated in the death of one of them from the first blow.
The following is as detailed an account of the racing as
the shortness of the intervals between the various events—
rendered unavoidable by their number--cuabled us to

an, Viscount and Viscountess Newport, Lord Stan-
ley, the Right Hon. Sir George sod Lady Grew, Lady Isa-
