ASCOT HEATH ItACIZ—WYDNr.eI4T.
The Royal Hunt Cup day, though one of the mot agreeable of
the Aactit meeting, is regarded as an "off day," aridconiequentlY
the general public do not muster in such force as or Tuesday sad
the Cup day. The Prince of Wales again honourti the course
with his presence, arriving on horseback, accompsnied by the
Duke of Edinburgh (Prince Alfred., Prince Teck, ant the Duke of
Cambridge, and the illustrious visitors dismounted n the yard in
rear of the Royal Stand. The attendance of the autocracy was
never larger on a Wednesday in the Ascot week, and the weather
being fine, the afternoon wea very enjoyable. Racing tommenced at
half past One with the Visitors' Plate, and nine animas of thenine-
teen entered fulfilled their engagement. Backers Ten fortunate
at the first attempt, Monitress and Love Apple lei na the only
horses backed, and after a good race the first nailed won by •
neck. The Ascot Derby was remarkable for the overthrow of
Ceylon, on whom odds of S to 1 were at first hid, but Robin
Hood and Mount Palatine receiving substantial support, the
bookmakers accepted 6 to 4 about the winner of tie Grand Prize
of Paris, but he was literally never in the race, nut Staghound
won easily by • length from Lord Port/moth's Robin
Hood. The Fern Hill Stakes produced an interesting race
between Hippie and Fripounier, who were equal favourites
at ? to 1, hut the Baron's filly showed her ability fir this course
by winning by a length. The ten ales "coloured' on the card
for the Coronation Stakes went to the post, Mirelk and Ischia
being each freely supported, but Mother-e-Pearl, rho, it will be
remembered, ran very forward in the Oaks tc Tattenhern-
corner, won by a neck after a rattling finish with the Duke of
Beaufort's filly. The principal race of the day—the Royal Hunt
Cup—brought out the large field of 29 runners from the 55
animals on the card, and the taco was productis e of some very
lively speculation, IHstotian, Langliam, and the Star being
backed at 5 to 1 each. After some delay at the post
the horses were despatched upon pretty equal terms,
and as they streamed over the summit of the hill the
effect was very striking. Every detail of the race is con-
tained below, and it is sufficient to say that Iron the distance
the race was confined to the three placed, but Attache came out
immediately Parry called on him, and won b 1 a length. The
success of the winner was highly gratifying to tie bookmakers,
es he was backed for very little money. Achievement
won the Ascot Triennial Stakes, and Rustic, with loonodds tint
on him, carried off the concluding race, the Ble I I Stakes.

several of the horses, Centaur being one of the most
conspicuous In refusing to join his horses. At length,
seizing a favourable opportunity, Mr. MeGeorge dropped
the flag, and the lot got away on good terms, with
the exception of Siberia, Peeress, Pilgrim, and Centaur,
who lost considerable ground ea the body of horses proceeded
on their journey. The Brat to show conspicuously in front was
Broomielaw, closely followed by Molly Carew, Historian, The
Czar, Lord Ronald, and Tomahawk, who comprised the leaders

Longhorn, Nukuheva, and No ;the latter wide on the left!,
holding prominent positions in the track of the lot enumerated
above. Before reaching the foot of the hill Viceroy gave way to
Molly Carew, who took a clear lead of Historian, Tomahawk, and
Lord Ronald. The tailing now commencing, Attache, who bad
been lying in the centre of the ruck, ran by his
horses, and took close order with the leaders before reaching the
distance, from which point Molly Carew carried onithe running,
closely pursued by Historian and Mr. Angell's horse to the
centre of the enclosure, where Historian got slightly the best of
it, but l'arry calling on Attache the latter got his head in front
opposite the royal enclosure, and won cleverly by a length ;
