ASCOT HEATH RACES.

TrEIMAY, JUNE 15.
His Majesty arrived on the eourse in a chariot dray%
by tour beautiful bay bosses, precisely at ten minutes Iraq
one, accompanied by the Dale of Wellington, Marquis
Chohnondeley, Lord F. Conyngham, and Sir W. Keppei,
and was followed by another carriage containing the
Duchess of Richmond, the Marchioness and two Liam
Conyngham . • a third brought the Lords in Waiting. Hie
Majesty, who looked extremely well, was cheered repeat.
edly, and appeared much to enjoy the sports. Amongst
the many distinguished persons present, we noticed his
Royal Highness the Duke of York, who spent the greater
part of the day with his Majesty in the Royal Stand, and
appeared in good health.
His Majesty remained on the course tiii the termination
of the day's amusements, when he retired, amidst the ac-
demotions of the people.
Lord Maryborough officiated for the first time m mem-
sor to the late Marquis Cornwallis, as Steward, and so suc-
cessfully, as to receive frequent marks of Royal &probe,
tion, the course being admirably cleared and regulated
throughout the day.
The police, under the direction of Sir R. Birnie, sided
by those veteran officers, Sayers and Townsend, cote.
pletely paralized the exertions of the pickpockets, win
were pretty numerous.
The weather was gloomy, notwithstanding which them
was a good shew of beauty and fashien.
The sports of the day (of which we subjoin an &cunte
mid full description), we are happy to add, were not
i marred by accidents.
