ASCOT HEATII RACES.

FRIDAY.
The business and pleasure of the meeting were
brought to a close to-day, the attendance being almost en-
tirely confined to persons haring more than • passing
interest in the proceeding,.
The racing was extremely good, the contest, being
decided twice by a head, once by a neck, and twice by half
a length ; so far as sport was concerned, this was a brilliant
termination to a brilliant locating.
It will be seen that of the sit races to-day three
were won by horses belonging to Lord Exeter, who, in
the course of the meeting, had the good fortune to win
seven events, and in all probability his luiliship would hare
added to the number had not Ile: bolted to-day soon after
starting for Her Majesty's Plate.
He was also six times second, including the gallant con-
test with his horse Stock well for the Emperor's Vuse.
The success of so stanch and liberal a patron of horse-
racing was regarded with peculiar gratification by the
best friends of the Turf.

In conclusion we would award a full measure of praise to
the staff of officials, for the very of discharge of thelt
respective duties.
