SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

ASCOT MEETING.--YEATERDAY.

The Ascot racecourse well deserves the name of
royal, as it is not only royally patronised every
year- and notably during the present year by the
Prince and Princess of Wake- -but it is kept up by
the Master of the Buckhonnds. The Muster
of her Majesty's Hounds also always
signs the certificate of having won a
Queen's plate -a formality generally performed, in
other cases, by the Lord-Lieutenant of the county.
All this gives a courtly air to Ascot which no
other racecourse possesses, and happily relieves the
race from much of that surrounding brutality
which no impartial observer can fail to see at
Epsom. At Ascot the horses are a secondary part
of the race, and millinery—male and female—is
the primary part. Women, or politely sperik-
ing, ladies, who would on no consideration
honour the Derby with their presents t,
funs the niont elegant and prominent
majority at Ascot, while min who go
to the great racing carnival in " billioock"
hats and gravel-coloured coats are dressed for
the royal race as for a wedding at St. George's,
Hanover-square, or a grand Itie day at the Horti-
cultural Gardens. The vagabond camp followers
who hang on to the skirts of every great skirting
festival are neither numerous nor rampant at
Ascot—and tononget these followers the gipsy
element certainly predominates. As pendants to
the long, low, chocolate-coloured " grand stand,"
the Jockey Club gallery, and the royal
pavilion, there is a tapering line of booths,
suggrstive of the lost glories of Green-
wich fair, in which sporting publicans and
retired pugilists appeal to their friends and the
public as providers of refreshment, but these
booths are not obtrusive. Without them the lines
of the narrow scrubby race-mune would not be
very strongly marked, or the minor sporting fra-
ternity who supply all the noise and much of the
" fun " of the race he encouraged in their attend-
=CC. MOM: is nothing at Ascot to equal the sub-
lime excitement and blackguardism of Epsom—
nothing that makes a betting-man, for the time
being the most staid and thrifty member of
society. By the mere force of auction. Ascot be-
longs to royalty, and Epsom to the mob, and the
mob are al ways impressive in their holiday keeping.
They know how to enjoy themselves; they are not
" used up," and amongst their failings cannot be
numbered an affectation of genteel inanity.
The betting-ring ut Astet, like all betting-rings
at all race-courses, is not deficient in the usual
sporting features. Filled with a dense mass of
Inca iu whiteliate and wide-awakes; dukes, lords,
publicans. swindlers, night-house keepers, prise-
lighters, horse-dealers, gentlemen, omerrurilrihrivers,
cabmen, professional betting-men, and bullies;
nearly all shouting the jargon of the ring at the
tops of their hoarse voices—the most penniless,
to all appearance, offering to bet the largest
SUMS and the longest odds- it presents a
strange contrast to the decorum of the
audience. chiefly composed of ladies, who look
down upon it from the balconies of the Grand
Stand, as Spanish ladies would look upon a
bull-fight. Ms mixed horde of noisy rufhanism
is penned up by itself, and is divided by strong
barriers from the more refined pens of the Jockey
Club and the Royal Pavilion, but the barriers are
powerless to prevent that mixture of classes which
IS one of the distinguishing features of horse-
racing. The betting men are not allowed to
go to the lords, but the lords go to the
betting men, and, if we are rightly in-
formed, the betting men are not always
the least honourable in settling their leases.
If the gentleman sometimes contracts vices
in this connection, the plebeian sometimes acquires
the principles of a gentleman, and no one, per
haps, is greatly injured when the account comes to
be talanced.

The races yesterday, which were run in fine
beery weather, were honoured with the presence
of their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess
of Wales, Prince and Princess Christian of
Schleswig-Holstein, Prince and Princess Teck, and
other distinguished members of the courtcircle. The
royal paddock was half full of celebrated sporting
noblemen—including members of both houses of
parliament—who were objects of interest to the large
crowd who promenade the race-course between
the races. The Princess of Wales looked well ;
and, for the gratification of our lady readers, we
may state that she wore a bright pea-green dress,
while the Prince of Wales was dressed in a suit of
lavender gray. The visitors, attracted by the royal
party and the weather, were more numerous than
usual for the first day of the races, and the line of
thugs " and carriages drawn up on the opposite
side of the course, immediately facing the royal
and grand stands, was nearly half a mile in
length, and three or four deep. The first
three races, beginning about half-past one,
were very tame and uninteresting to a mere spec-
tator, and nothing like true racing excitement was
created until the Prince of Wales's Stakes were
run for about a quarter to four. Many of the
Derby " cracks„ competed in this race, including
the • poisoned" Lady Elizabeth, who looked bad,
but better than she did at Epsom, and the race was
won by Baron Rothschfid's Ring Alfred—s horse
that nearly won the Derby. The merits of this
and the following races are fully analysed by our
sporting correspondent. Should the weather con-
tinue fine a very large attendance may be ex-
pected on Thursday next, the " Cup day," and
the gold cup, this year, manufactured by Mr. Gar-
rard, is to be of the value of 5001., instead of 300/.

The eight events on the programme commenced
with the Trial Staked, for which there were only four
absentees from the full lint of 17 subs, and a good
race resulted in the first of a list of turns up for the fielders,
as the winner was not even mentioned in the ring. The
filly, however, did not change hands, the entered selling
fpee, 6001., appearing too high to tempt a purchaser. Not
ewer than twenty-tux went to the post for the Maiden
Plate, Sir Joseph Hawley's Vagabond being lively sup-
ported. but the colt never shcrwed prominently in the race,
winch was won on the post by • head by Textminster,
hacked by all the knowing ones. Suffolk, Speculum. and
Tvuedale were the absentees for the Gold ass This,
which was a beautiful work of art, consisted of a large
salver with an alto relievo design in the centre,
the subject being selected from Sir Walter Scott's
Marmion. The prophets almost to a man had gone for
Julius, considering that he held the rest perfectly safe;
but as will be seen from the appended report he was
beaten from end to end by Blinkheolie, and only secured
second position on the post. Although Mr. Cluiplin's
horse seemed to win remarkably easy, on his return to the
saddling enclosure it was seen that he bore marks of
punishment. There was a great falling of in the number
of starter. for the Prince of Wales's Stakes, as only eight
of the 61 on the card faced the starter. The meet was a
moat interesting and exciting affair. as the second horse in
the Derby met the Oaks winner in Formosa, and the Two
Thousand dead-heater in Moslem. Baron Rothschild
declared to win with King Alfred. After the
Queen's Stand Plate, won by Xi, who gave the favourite
let. and a beating, and the Eleventh Biennial, which
need no comment, the Ascot Stakes produced fifteen
runners out of the score coloured. Lord Palmerston made
the running for two mike, and was then beaten, and what
was rumoured a really good thing, the Maid of Madam
mare, won a good race. Immediately after this race the
Royal party left the course, and no little interest was ex-
cited by the last race of the day, for which Achievement
and Taraban were joined by Mandrake. The famous
mare suffered defeat by the Liverpool Cup hero, as she
died away when to all appearances she was winning easily.
Taruban had no chance. Appended is a return of the
running :

CENTR.IL CRIMINAL COURT.

(Before the Recortlar:)

Annie Rirkebs, alias Aauir Lein* firm% a fashionably
dreamed middle-aged lady, surrendered to take her trial
fur having feloniously intermarried with one Robert
Mills on the 22nd of January, 11466, a former hitelneel,
Charles Julian Rene. to whom she was married on the
2nd of June, 1863, being at the time alive.
Rerjeant Ballantine was specially retained to prosecute.
The primmer was defended by Mr. -Wheel.
This case was opened as being one of a very extraordi-
nary character. It wan admitted by the prosecution that
the real prosecutor was a gentleman named Blackmon.,
who hail also been married to the Kneeler, and who, it
was said, had ascertainedthat ehe had hem three times
previously married. The fact of the two marriages men-
tioned in the indictment was clearly proved, and the R.'v.
Mr. Pierrepoiut, the c]ergyman by whom the first cere-
mony of meariage was p.e (mined, stated that he maw the
fint lienband at Exeter in April of the present year.
Mr. Ribton, in addressing the jury for the prisoner, said
it au* evnleut that there was same extraordinary motive
for instituting the present prosecution, as the wand
husband, who was the party eupprneil to be injured, was
no party to it, vivid that Mr. Illackmore, who ap-
peareA to he the real prosecutor in the case, for
some reason or other, which was kept from the jury,
wan anxious to do away with the marriage that he had
contracted with the prisoner. He said he should show
that at the time the second marriage was contracted, the
prisoner really believed that her first husband was dead,
and if he established that fact he contended that the
prisoner was entitled to her acquittal.
Mr. Robert Rickaby, the father of the prisoner, was
then examined, and he stated that the first F -.Abend of the
prisoner left her after they had been mauled about six
months, and that he never contributed anything tewards
her support. He also produced a letter of an extraordinary
character, which was represented to have been written by
the mother of the 'fret -husband, in which she stated that
her son's name was not Reeve but Roother, and' that he
had merely seemed that name when he went upon the
stage, his pmfeenion being that of an actor. The letter
also represented that he had died of small-pox. The
father of the prisoner raid that be had shown her this
letter, and he believed that she was really under the fen-
that Reeve wan dead at the time she contracted
the second marriage.
In enterer to questions put by Serjeant Ballantine in
cress-examination.
The father of the prisoner said that she ran away with
her second husband, and he was .nt aware of the mar-
riegenntil some time after it had taken Nana.
Recorder directed the jury that if they believed the
first husband wan alive at the time the second marriage
was contracted, they were bound to convict her of bigamy,
bat he said he would reserve the point whether, supposing
the prisoner really believed ho was dead, it was any answer
to the charge.
The July. after some deliberation, returned a verdict of
Gaily, and added that they were of opinion that the pri-
soner did not believe her first husband was dead when she
married the second time.

The prisoner was sentenced to one month's imprison-
ment.

(Before the Common Berjeent.)

Thaw'. William Merriam, a 'rupeetable-looking man.
58 years of age, waa indicted for winding a letter to Jueeph
Henry Jackson, threatening to kill him.
Mr. Metcalfe conducted the proeocution, and the pri-
soner defended himself.

The prosecutor was • merchant at Enfield. and was a
trustee under the marriage settlement of the prisoner and
his wife, who were now separated, the trust being for the
benefit of the wife, and after her death for the benefit of
the huelauid and the issue of the marriage. The prisoner
seemed to have been possessed of considerable means,
which he bad lost by speculation on the !stock Exchange,
and ho then applied to the trustees under the settlement
to allow hens the use of the trust funds, and
as they refused to do so, he filed a bill in
Chancery for their removal, but the Master of the Rolls
declined to accede to the application. After this he wrote
a number of angry letters to the prosecutor, and in one,
dated the 2.5 th April, 1868, which he said was to apply
to the two other trustees as well as himself, there oc-
mined • passage to the following effect :—•• My feelings
are now roused to a pitch of desperation amounting to
all but determination, and I have now to tell you that if
you do not give up the trusteeship of my marriage, and
still refine to do me justice, you must make up your
minds to go further and place me under restraint, for ea
surely as there is a heaven and hell, as surely shall I—l
feel convinced—and take this in its most extended mean-
ing be driven to an act of violence of no
common or remediable kind." He also stated that if they
continued their persecution, the uncontrollable feelings
now raging in hie bosom would lead him to commit a
crime which would end in the scaffold, and he trusted the
three weeks granted to criminals would enable him to
make persect his peace with God. A short time before
his arrest, the prisoner met another of the trustees, Mr.
Drinkwater, a gentleman employed in the Dividend
Department of the Bank of England, and who had been
married to a sister of the prisoner's wife, and asked him
in en angry tone if be intended to give up the trust, and
on Lis replying in the negative, he said, "If you do not,
I will stab you in a vital part." Eventually, in accord-
ance with kis own request, the prisoner was given;into
custody. On being apprehended, he said he was glad it
had come to a charge, as he had written to the Lord
Chancellor praying that be might be placed under re-
straint, so that he might be prevented from doing harm.
The jury returned a verdict of Galley.
Sentence was postponed until next session.
