ASUOT HEATH, JUNE 23.

The freshness of the morning, after a very beet►/
shoat r, attracted an elegant company ; much
sport being expected, the gmund had a very gay
appi.erance, except the Not al stand ; Her Majesty
and the Princesses were not present; his Royal
Highness the Prince of Wales's stand was filled with
company, amongst whoru we noticed—
Their Royal Hightiesses the boles 111 York and Cassbet•.
huril, the Martiiii.. arta 11,11.1.11i011111S Cor.iwallis, Earl Grier-
sty. Mr. Wiudhaia, and the Honourably Mr. and Mrs. G.
Villiers.

All the stands cd an elegant assemblage of •
company ; the carriages were more numerous than
was expected ; the ladies mounted the dickies, they
were mostly dressed in white, with close caps, and
small sprigs of flowers. The Chinese parasol was
displayed in all parts of the ground; white mantles,
with a purple Vandyke border, and small hoods,
were much worn.—Aruougst the elegant earriag,s
were those of—

Tim Countess of Char Levine sad Family, Earl sod Coun-
tess of Mountaorris, Lord Braybrooke, Lord Hooke' Looni-
er of Jersey tb• Hos. Mr. mad Mrs. Villiers,andif.
awl Lady Deiberuad.

At oi-te o'clock the bell nag for Paddling, the
betting stand was imtnediately filled. The gold
cup of Inn guineas was an excellent race, ,2 to I
and 6 to 4 on Mr. Fertnor's Brighton, who kept
the lead ; he was rode by Buckle, who came round
the drat time very easy ; at the second time .Mr:
Butler's ,Epsoas, who was rode by Samuel Arnold,
indde a strong push at the coming in. when it was
so near that it was adjudged a dead beat.
Lord W.grentont paid forfeit to lord Foley.
Lord Foley's f. by l'ersaits, nut of Higliflyer
mare, 4114. Bth. against Earl Jersey's c. by the
Irellesky Arabian dam, was a very fine race ; the
odds were in favour of the Arabian ; they came its
in great style ; it was won by n neck.
The .501. plate fur the yeoman pricker% and
keepers of the forest add great park excited a much
anxiety amongst the numerous field of sportsuu
the race not taking 'place, on actsmut of some dif-
hirence between them. The Noble Martinis
Cornwallis was in the stand at the time, and was
displeased ; it was first agreed that Shake ran Bags
should walk over the course, bin it was brought to
-11 compromise, and we understand the busilic,s will
be settled at Outlands to-night, as his 1:„:11
Highness the Duke of York invited a numerous
• company to dinner.
