ASCOT RACES.-(THIS DAY.)

In point of weather, the Cup Day affords a
cheerful contrast with the Derby. At an early hour, a
number of open carriages, with mounted postilions, pro-
ceeded from the west-end en route for the "heath." Later
in the day, however, it was evident that the most popular
means of transit was by rail, and from half-past 9
till nearly 1 o'clock, the approaches to the Waterloo
Terminus of the London and South Western Railway tes-
tified to the fact. During the time mentioned there was a
constant stream of Manama cabs crossing Waterloo-bridge,
and a large sprinkling of private carriages with faihionably
dressed occupants. The arrangements at the station
were under the direction of Mr. Williams, traffic
superintendent ; and notwithstanding the great influx
of persons booking for " Ascot Direct," the trains
were despatched with surprising regularity. Al many as
20 " specials " were made up, each containing IS carriages.
The Great Western Railway had a good share of patron-
age, and the departures from Kensington were pretty fre-
quent. The following are the entries for the Gold Cup,
from Osley's and

ASCOT-HEATH, THOBSDAY.

The weather this morning has been a shade more auspi-
cious for the great gathering on the heath. His Royal
Highness' the Prince of Wales, who left Cliefden yesterday
morning and travelled by the Great Western Railway from
the Taplow Station, paid a dying visit to town, and
returned by the IS o'clock fast train from
Paddington to Taplow, thence to the Duchess of Suther-
land's mansion on the banks of the Theme,. Thence the
Prince left this morning for the Great Western Terminus
at Windsor, to which he was accompanied by the Duke of
Sutherland and a distinguished partyof friends. The bore'
was of course alive with visitor,, many of whom were,
doubtless, attracted by the fact of the Prince and royal
family being about to proceed from Windsor in " Ae:ot
state "to the course. At 11.15 the Duchess of Cambridge
Prince Ed ward of Saxe -Wei mar, Prince de Teck. the Duchess
of Mecklenburg-Strelitx, Lady Caroline Cust, General
Knollys, Colonel Kingacote, and Major Teesdale, arrived
at Paddington, and were received by Mr. Tyrrell, the
superintendent of the line. They left Paddington by
special train, under the charge of Mr. Alfred Higgins,
arriving at Windsor about noon. There they were
met by the Prince of Wales, and the whole of
the party then drove in Ascot state to the course—that is,
• carriaie drawn by four horses, the postillions and foot-
men wearing scarlet and gold liveries.
The departure from Windsor was witnessed by crowds
of spectators, the royal party, on leaving the tows, driving
through the long-walk and park.
