South Lancashire.—The Bold Estate and Manor, near Warrington,
and between Liverpool and Manchester, including a fine old
Fam ly Mansion, large Park, numerous Farina and Woodlands,
forming a domain of 3,250 acres.
VIESSRS. BEADEL and SONS have received
instructions to sELL by AUCTION, at the Mart, on
TUESDAY, July tO, at 12, in one lot, file highly valuable and im-
portant FREEHOLD ESTATE, known as BOLD H tLL, including
a noble and handsome mansion, with offices, gardens, and pleasure
grounds, commanding extensive views of the surrounding scenery,
and seated in a park of rich land, ornamented with thriving woods,
encircled with belts of plantations, and surrounded by numerous
farms and accommodation lands, forming a domain of 3,251 a. 1 r.
24 p. of excellent land, comprising the capital farms known as Old
Hall, Meat House, and Barrow Hall, with superior newly-erected
homesteads, and about 30 other valuable farms, with suitable farm-
buildings, and numerous small occupations and cot ages. The man-
sion, park, and Old Hall Farm are in hand. The remainder of the
estate is let to respectable tenants, at very moderate rents ; and the
annual value of the whole may be estimated at upwards of 5,4001.
he tenants pay all outgoings on the farms. The woodlands are tithe-
free, and the outgoings paid by the landlord are consequently very
small. The estate abounds with game, and is situate in the town-
ships of Bold and Burtonwood, in the parishes of Prescot and War-
rington. ' The greater part of the estate lies compactly within a ring
fence, being bounded on the south by the grand road from London to
Liverpool. on the west by the St. Helen's and Runcorn Gap Railway.
and it abuts north on the Liverpool and Manchester Railway. It is.
well intersected by good hard roads, and the mansion is shout one
mile from the St. Helen's Junction Station, taus affording easy com-
munication to all parts of the kingdom. Particulars, with plans, may
be had of Messrs. Rowson and Cross, solicitors, Prescot ; of Mr. Ban-
nerman, land agent, Chorley; aid of Messrs. Beadel and Sons, 25,
Gresham-street.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

ASCOT-HEATH FACES—TRunsniv.
The prestige and popularity of the Cup,Day Are fully
sustained. The absence of the Queen and Prince Albert
did not, apparently, exercise a diminishing influence on
the attendance of a general company ; a larger and gayer
throng has seldom been seen at Ascot.
The only noticeable shortcomings which the attend-
ance presented in comparison with that in 'former years
was, perhaps, with regard to the number and description
of vehicles ; but the falling off in this respect is attri-
butable solely to the travelling facilities afforded by the
Great Western and the South-Western railway com-
panies. .

A long and refreshing rain fell early in the morning
As the day advanced the sun shone with summer bril-
liancy, but its power was most pleasantly tempered by a
gently fanning breeze.
The Cup, the chief feature of attraction, occasioned a
most interesting race. Six started for it, but nearly all
the betting was engrossed by three, and when "the
ring" broke up the three were pretty equal'favourites.
Virago, about whom many doubts had been entertained
and certain ill-omened reports circulated to the effect of
her being "a roarer," was suddenly raised into high
favour ; the remembrance of her achievements last year
being evidently sufficient to command for her a power-
ful body of supporters. The race is fully described be-
low. Fandango was the winner, and his success elicited
prolonged and hearty cheers. His noble owner, Lord
Zetland, is a most popular patron of the turf, and all
classes appeared to be delighted with the triumph his
horse had achieved.
The cup was manufactured at the establishment of
Messrs. Garrard, from a design and model by Mr. W.
Spencer.
The New Stakes brought out nine competitors, and
were won by the favourite Milton.
Altogether the racing to-day was inferior in quantity
and quality to that of the previous day, but it was
characterised by incidents sufficiently interesting and
exciting- to sustain the curiosity of the spectators.
The following list of fashionables who were present is
not made up according to any Antahlished_ order of pre-
cedency, but as opportunity enabled us to jot down their

Rataplan ;vent away with the lead, Virago lying
second, Fandango and Wild Huntsman being the next
two. After descending the Swinley-hill, Virago lay at
Rataplan's quarters, and on approaching the Brick-kiln
Farm she obtained the lead, the others lying well up.
Virago maintained the lead to the half distance, where
she dropped off, and Rataplan again bore his colours in
the van, with Fandango in close pursuit. At the stand
the latter headed Rataplan, but only for two or three
strides, and the shout then was, "The old 'tin wins."
When opposite the Queen's Stand, however, Fandango
came again with a most opposite effort, and at last
achieved the victory by three-quarters of a length. Two
lengths between th, eecond and third, and three lengths
