The comparative inferiority of the sports yesterday, as well In
the nature of the stakes as the character of the horses to compete
for them, had the effect of materially diminishing the number
of the visitors, and of making the company less fashionable then on
either of the others; but to those who had not formed part of the
assemblages on the preceding days, the Heath must still have pre-
owned a very animated, if not a fascinating appearance.
There was but little of that confusion in progressing towards
the ,curse which characterized the third day ; though, from the ex-
• e heat of the weather, and the intolerably dusty state of the
roads, the journey was sufficiently unpleasant, insomuch that
there were not a few who wished they had remained at home; and
really, it in a kind of debtor and creditor account, we were to set
off lutainst the pleasure afforded by the rum the toil, cost,
and vexation, incurred in going to and returning from diem,
we fear that the former would be more than balanced by tha
latter, and leave incidental disasters out of the account. While on
this subject, we will mention an instance of the system of extortion
practises./ on these occasions. A gentleman went to the races, on
Friday, and sloped the same night at an Inn, at Englefield, where
he slept. Thd charge for his bed was of course sufficiently great,
but it will hardly' be believed, that besides Is. 6(1. for a feed of corn
and 28.6 d. for hay, there wart an item of 10s. for the horse's bed ! nor
would the innkeeper suffer the horse to leave the stable till the dr
mend was complied with. This we can vouch for.
His Majesty arrived on the `nurse at his usual hour, amidst the
cheers of die spectators, who seemed duly to appreciate his Ma-
jesty's condescension in visiting the races, although there was little
to amuse in the sport, which it must be confessed was but in.
different. His Majesty left before the last nos, for the Royal
Cottage, where there was • dinner party. His Grace the Duke of
Dorset, Graves, ace. were in attendance on the King.

the races, as weer nearly all the noblemen and &sidemen whose
