SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

ASCOT RACES-WEDNDIDAY.

Although the Hunt Cup ban of late years furnished the
prettiest race of the meeting, yet its attractions are either
unknown to the mere pleasure seekers, or they are ignored
by them. The Omnd Stand euclosure was therefore almost
exclusively occupied by professional speculator•, but on the
lawn in front of the private stands was a large assemblage
of the aristocratic patrons of the turf, who seemed to enjoy
the quietems of what is popularly considered an "oft day."
Still the officials had no leisure, and the walk over for the
seoond race scarcely afforded them any breathing time, whilst
it certainly left no gap in the proceorliMpi. The jockey*
were weighed out with due despatch, and their numbers
promptly displayed on the antiquated telegriph board. The
latter eat was almost superfluous, for many of the onnibers
were written on paper and loosely stuck on boards. The
wind either blew them down or folded them up, and the
spectators in the Grand Stand enclosure were unable to see
half of them, whilst the occupants of carriages could not
see them at all. This circumstance created much dramatis-
faction ; and it really appears extraordinary that, whilst
the outhontieo were making the many excellent improve.
nienta which have elicited commendation from all quarters,
they should hare neglected to attend to so important a
matter as providing a suitable telegraph apparatus. Their
present clumsy contrivance would not lie tolerated at any
second class meeting.

Speculation Oa the Hunt Cup varied so perplexingly that
it was with the utmost difficulty we wow eneMeil to sompile
a lbt el cresteliens tibia watt isilioato W Ins tow
the market ; but the prices which are appended to the re•
turn of the moo will be a very fair criterion of it. The
delays ►t the poet, the manner in which the start was
effected, and how the race was run and woo, are fully
described elsewhere. We may state here that much grata.
&stirs was experieneed th►t such a magnificent prize should
he numbered amongst the turf trophies of Lord Portsmouth,
whose courtesy and affability have rendered him popular
amongst all chums of sportsmen. The "French party"
again showed the formidableness of their horses in training
in England, and proved that they can play on equal terms
at a game which to "native" here, and to which English-
men are " sa it wont to tio manner born."

W. Bottom, who bad Una suspended for misconduct nt
tho starting pod, was, by special order, relieved from tho
prohibition not to ride win until hie term of punishment
expired, on account of the difficulty which was experienced
to obtain light-weight jockeys.

A nuisance which exists at Ascot requires the interference
of the authorities, and although pointed out to the police
no effort lies been made to check it. We refer to the
intolerable inconvenience which is experienced on quitting
the railway station by gangs earl-sharpers and thimble-
riggers, who make their ' plants" on the narrow pathway
leading to the course. In addition to the annoyance of
having the nearest route to the course blocked up, any one
who attempts to push his way through the " bonneta" and
"decoys" engaged in this illegal tnlße is subjected to the
most ribald abuse. For ladies to traverse this path on
Thursday will be impossible, unless the police interfere and
clear it of the gang of swindlers who have now possession
of it. So vexatious was the nuisance that a well-known
gentleman of title expostulated with the police foe not
checking it, but he was °Dolly told that they had no power
to "interfere." Surely a few policemen, instead of bud.
Ming together in one place from which they can obtain a
view of the racing, might be stationed along the pathway
mentioned to keep it from obstruction by designing
"squatters," and to protect the public from insult and in-
convenience. Now this grievance is made public, either
the local police or Superintendent Walker,. of the A divi-
sion, will doubtless take measures to obviate further com-
Flaint& The racing and incidents which marked it are
