SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

ASCOT-HEATH RACES.—WEDNESDAY.
The racing to-day was surpast,ingly interesting and
attractive. The fields wore numerically important, and
the respective encounters were close and well sustained.
The weather, too, conduced to the unrestrained enjoy-
ment of the sport ; throughout the day the sun shone
with unclouded brilliancy.
The Hunt Cup was the principal feature in the pro-
gramme of the day's sport, and it occasioned a remarkably
fine encounter. This prize has generally produced one
of the most interesting races of the meeting, but the con-
test on the present occasion was more than usually ex-
citing. Twenty-four horses ran, and Chalice won by a
short head only in the last stride.
The cup, so called, was manufactured at the estab-
lishment of Messrs. Hunt and Roskill, goldsmiths to
the Queen, from a design and model by Mr. Brown. It
is, in fact, a candelabrum of pure silver, and consists of
the twisted stems of vines supporting sockets for lights.
On the base, which represents a rocky piece of ground,
is seen a combat between two dogs and a wolf. The wolf
has disabled one of his antagonists, but the other has
seized him by the throat and vanquished him.
The race for the Handicap Plate was one of the finest
ever beheld, and the closeness of the struggle testified to
the great practical ability with which the weights had
been adjusted.
Although Wednesday is considered the " off day " of
the meeting, yet it is always marked by incidents of
importance. In this respect the proceedings to-day will
bear comparison with those of the " grandest day " of
the gathering.
The attendance of general company was fully equal to

au average.

PATENT RECONNOITRING GLASSES.-- 3rISSFS. S. and B. Solo-
mons, opticians, 39, Albemarle-street, Piccadilly. Observe
opposite the York Hotel. By her Majesty's Royal
Letters Patent for valuable and extraordinary improvements
in the most powerful and brilliant Telescopes, Camp, Race-
course, Opera, and Perspective Glasses, to know the distances
of objects viewed through them—of great importance to the
army, navy, and others. These telescopes possess such extra-
ordinary powers that some 3 inches, with an extra eye-
piece, will show distinctly Jupiter's moons, Saturn's ring,
and the double stars ; with the same telescope can be
seen a person's counterauce three miles and a half distant,
ard an object from 16 to 20 miles. They are of larger and all
sizes, with increasing powers accordingly ; while their vary-
ing from 4 to 6 inches enable us to discover more than the
above, and the Georgian, with his 6 satellites, &c.—The Royal
Exhibition, 1851.—Valuable, newly-invented, very small,
Powerful waistcoat-pocket glass,the size of a walnut, by which
a person can be seen and known 1 miles distant ; they answer
every purpose on the race-course, and at the opera houses,
country scenery, and ships are clearly seen at 8 to 10 miles.
They are invaluable for shooting, deer-stalking, yachting, to
sportsmen, gentlemen, . gamekeepers, and tourists. Opera,
race-course, camp, and perspective glasses, with wonderful
power.—Newly-constructed Spectacle Lenses of the great-
est transparent power. The valuable advantage derived
from this invention is, that vision becoming impaired is
preserved and strengthened, and vel7 aged persons are
enabled to employ their sight at the most minute occu-
pation—can see with these lenses of a much less maomify-
ing power—and they do not require the frequent changes
to the dangerous effects of further powerful assistance. Deaf-
ness—New Discovery.—The Organic Vibrator, an extraordi-
nary powerful, small, newly-invented instrument for deafness,
entirely different from all others, to surpass anything of the
kind that has been, or probably ever can be, produced.
Being of the same colour as the skin, is not perceptible ; it
enables deaf persons to hear distinctly at church and at
public assemblies ; the unpleasant sensation of singing noises
iu the ears is entirely removed ; and it affords all sing
assist-
ance that possibly could be desired. 39, Albemarle-Rivet,
