ASCOT HEATH RACES—FRIDAY.
The usual features of an "of day" were observable on the
Heath, but notwithstanding the striking contrast to Thursday,
the attendance was remarkably good. The heavy rain on Thurs-
day night was somewhat beneficial to the course, but it was still
very hard. The morning was beautifully fine, but just after the
Arm race a light shower tell, and this increased to a heavy thun-
derstorm, the jockeys that rode in the race for the Railway
stakes being drenched to the skin. The Prince of Wales
and the Duke of Edinburgh were again present, and in the
royal inclosure many members of the aristocracy were present.
Racing commenced of the early. hour of lull-past It enabling
the sport to conclude before 4 o clock—a very Judicious
went for the last day of a meeting. The defeat of Ellatiarlin%
Strafford in the Alexandra Plate was a peat surprise, as the
race was looked upon as a certainty for him after the with-
drawal of Gladiateur, who was struck out at 1.44.
