SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

ASCOT-HEATH MEETING.—TUESDAY.
The Ascot meeting opened favourably, considering the
recent heavy rains. and to-day the weather was pleasant
up to the time set for the decision of the Ascot Stakes, and
shortly afterwards umbrellas were brought into active we,
the last race, the Queen's Stead Plate, being run in a
drenching shower. Some marked improvements have been
effected on the course piece last season, under the super •
intendence of Captain Seymour and Mr. Davis, assisted by
Mr. James Manning, the indefatigable clerk of the course.
The attendance of company for the first day was unusually
large, and included the elite of fashion, the stands and ea-
closure* being crowded. The card was very strong, including
as it did the new pin, the Prince of Wales Stakes (worth
upwards of 1,5001.), the Queen's Vase, and the Ascot
Stakes. The meeting of Asteroid and Cazbineer in the
Vase created considerable interest, as it determined their
respective pretensions to the grand event of the meeting,
the Ascot Gold Cup. Asteroid was beaten at the ascent of
the bill, and a splendid struggle ensued between Tim Whif-
fler (the winner of the Chester Cup) and Carbines?, the
first-meotioned running a wonderfully game animal, and
winning by • head. The Prince of Wales Stakes, in the ab
sence of Buckstoth and Ensign, fell to • rank outsider, Ca-
risbrook, who had previously run and won the Ascot Derby.
and who was last season rejected from John Scott's stable
on account of his bad temper.
The Ascot Stakes produced a larger field than had been
anticipated, and was wen by Rappers., against whom 16 to
1 was betted in the ring up to the close, but who had in
the course of the season been wood to Stampedo at
Northampton. The remaining items of the day's racing will
be found fully detailed below.
Much dissatisfaction was felt, and as loudly ex
about the manner in which the South Western 0:1;
Company did their work, the trains being inordinately
slow and tedious for such • abort journey. Some went so
far as to say that they would, on the Cap day, patronise the
South Eastern, even at the sacrifice of • detour to Croydon
ea rode.
