ASCOT RACES. —ThriganY.
THE CUP DAY.
The Queen wan unfortunate in the weather. The propi.
time skyey influences which were west to marker pro-
green on her tours proved adverse, and the sunsbide which
is always associated with her trips abroad had no sentence.
Rain fell with little intermission throughout the Say, and
the mar of umbrellas which sprang up appeared like dark-
coloured toadstools which the wet had suddenly called into
existence. Still the inclement weather did not deter a
large number of female visitors from attending the' course,
and those who patronised the Stand were well sheltered.
The balcony and the wooden stand beyond actually glis-
tened with bright hues, and despite the dark, leaden-tinted
clouds, bright flashes of sunshine came out and made the
bright dresses of the ladies clustered on the lawn like " a
Sower besprinkled meadow." The' rain:prednced a most
diminishing effect upon the attendants, and the sight
of ladies witnessing races from . doted carriages or shel-
tering themselves under umbrellas was not a pleasant
one to behold. The Queen arrived on the course just
prior to the iximmencement of the second race, and was
received with all that enthusiasm which is generally ex-
pressed when her Majesty mixes amongst the people to
Witness their pastimes. Mach intereet was created by the
presence of the Prince of Wales, and he obtained a separate
ovation as soon as he wee recognised. No easier had the
royal party arrived than the hones ran for the second race.
The remarks which we append require no comment—

we suet refer the reader to the Court Circular. The Pri-
vate Stand was so crowded with distinguished personages,
that we shall not attempt to compile a list of them.
The member, of the executive department are entitled
to gnat pulse for the promptness and regularity
with 'thick they diecharge their duties. The A Division
Ot Metropolitan police perfimmed their labour, in the moot
exemplary manner, and under the command of Superin-
tendent Walker they want through their evolutions with a
precision which was as picturesque as it was astonishing.
D., Mr. Edward Iliblounl the. public are indebted for the
succeis of what seemed likely to be a miserable de 's pro-
ceedings. The °facial anaisgement of the meeting was
Much promoted by the asiduity of Mr. Alfred Hibburd,
who bestowed a studied attention on the strict business de-
partment. Of the recognised race officials it can only be
stated that they exercised their functions with that facility
and authority which have been obtained from a long ex-
perience.
