FORAM RACES.

THIRD DST—Tutraszur.
The Course was much more numerously attended than
lon either of the preceding days, and the sport much better,
which is to be attributed to Mr. Rainsbottom, the Acting
Steward, whose unremitting exertions in catering for the
public amusement cannot he too highly praised; the public
are also indebted to him for the subscriptions which have
already taken place for the Gold Cup, and Surrey and
Middlesex Stakes for next year, of which particulars will
be found below. We can add, that application has been
made to his Majesty to render his gracious assistance to
these races, and that his Majesty has promised his support.
The Betting Stand was kept by Mr. Jenner, Clerk of the
Ascot Course, and was each day filled to an overflow.
His Grace the Duke of Richmond intende to appro.
priate his winnings on the Gold Cup, to have one made
value VOgs., it being the first cup his Grace has won, and
the first time his able little jockey has rode a cup-winner.
Spree and her rider are to be engraved on it.
The company on the course were—The Duke of Rich.
mond, Marquis and Marchioness of Worcester, Dowager
Countess of Essex, Lords Verulam, George and William
Lennox, G. Bentinck, &c. ; moat of whom remain to be
present at the race ball, of which Lady Bulkeley and Mrs.
Freemantle are the Patronesses.
The dismounted patrol, conducted by that vigilant
officer Newman. succeeded in preventing depredation: by
the light-fingered gentry, and he received the thanks of
the Steward, and other gentlemen of distinction, for 11;e
endeavours to prevent a fight, which was fixed upon In-
tween two bakers; but we have reason to believe that Lis
exertions were in the end were frustrated, by the parties re.
moving to a piece of ground (about 100 yards from Runny.
incite) in Buckinghamshire, there not being any Magistrate
of that county nearer than Windsor.
The races were as follow:

Even betting on Brownie ; 2 to 1 apt Monimia; 3 to 1 ag,:
Streatham.

Harry IVlBler, on the Orphan, took the lead at starting at smarty
rate, all keeping so close that a sheet would have covered them ; it
the distance post, Streatham, rode by Bill Arnull, came up. and'
most severe slashing race ensued till ending, all coming in so vra
close that the Jodge could only place two ; won by half a neca.
I The Brownie was rode by R. Boyce; /Sonimia by Macdonald.
and Phantasms by a premising lad named Witinyatt. The beauty
of the race was owing entirely to the sound judgment and impm
tiality with which the horses were handicapped by Mr. Ream
bottom.

a head, rode by young Buckle; Ilajji Baba by B. Boyce.
