SPORTING.
ASCOT HEATH RACES.

Towner.—Ae far as its success depended on sport, the
last meeting at Ascot left nothing to desire, for the racing
was %hinders; varied, and excellent, and its attractions were
in no slight degree enhanced by the uninterrupted fineness
of the weather. Still, and nothing more clearly demon-
strates the unpin lance attached to the presence of royalty,
the ahsence of her Majesty caused a falling off in the com-
pany, and, in consequence, a conriderable deficiency in the
receipts at the Grand Stand, an compared with the previous
years. The sheeting now in progress commenced under
different and more favourable auspices. It is true that the
return to the old plan of confining the Ascot Stakes to one
class deprived the first day of one of the principal betting
rates, and that the fields and the entries generally are not so
promising as we have known them, but this is compensated
for by the addition of the Windsor Stakes, by which the
average quantity of racing is likely to be maintained. Our
announcement, some days beck, that her Majesty would
honour the present meeting with her company, was received
with great d, light by all clams, and we have no doubt that,
at the close of the week, should the weather continue
fine, it will be in oar power to state that it has
pssac off with complete metres. The alterations in
the vicinity of the Grad Stand, and the preparations
for the reception of the court, have been already noticed.
We have, therelbre, only to add that the public voice has
°affirmed the favourable opinion expensed of them ; in all
other respects the arrangements in connexion with the racing
were dietinguiahed by liberality and good taste, and they
were carried out in a business-like and satisfactory manner.
Having said thus much of the general prospects of the meet-
ing, we have now to state that the promised visit of the
Queen. the Prince Consort, and their illustrious visitors, in
anticipation of which a large nod respectable company was
assembled on the heath, took place as announced. The
royal carriages, nine in number, preceded by the Earl of Gran-
ville, master of the buckhounds, and Mr. C. Davis, the
Queen's huntsman, and attended by a large retinue, made
their appearance on the New Mile a few minutes after one,
and pr,ceeded slowly up the course to the Royal Stand.
In the first carriage was the Queen, accompanied be 11.5. H.
the Grand Duchess of Saxe Weimer, the Grand
Duke Constantine, and H.R.H. the Prince of Luca.
We merely need say that the Queen was greeted with
every mark of respect, or that the presence of so illustrious
a party gave a Tonto the racing that, per se, was anything but
first-rate. The bell was rung for starting, and immediately
after the arrival of the court. and at hale-pest one, proceed-
inter ornamented with the Trial Stakes, to which succeeded
the 50 soy. Strikes; both proved very easy triumphs. Some
little time having been allowed for luncheon, the magnificent
vane presented by the Queen was run for, and it proved,
beyond comparison, the most interesting race of the day,
"honest John" only just pulling through, to the diecom-
Stare of his aristocratic competitors, who ran second, third,
fourth and fifth. The Ascot Derby also went jet° the
Danebury stable, and the Welcome Stakes to his Grace the
Duke of *Richmond's Red Her, who was nearly last for the
Derby, having been landed a very clever winner ,• Swallow,
second, and Miami, the winner of the Oaks, third ! On the
