THE PROBABLE STARTERS FOR TO-MORROW'S
RACES AT ASCOT.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SlR,—The racing yesterday resulted much in the manner
I predicted it would, as my selections ran first in the Ascot
and Second Triennial Stakes, and accomplished the feat of
placing; the first three in the Third Triennial. The Trial
Stakes was won very easily by Officious; as was the Ascot
by Ludo; everything in the rear of each being virtually
out of the race at the distance.

The race for the Gold Vase completely capsized
my calculations, as Nancy end Frantic, whom I
expected to see first and second, were out of the
race early; the colt by Phlegon out of Marinella hav-
ing it all his own way and winning cleverly, Little Harry
finishing second, Ambrose third, Frantic fourth, Barbarian
fifth, Sackbut and Nancy. sixth and seventh. This is the
first proof of the untrue running of the Derby, as Barbarian
could not get anywhere near Little Harry.
A splendid race for the Second Triennial terminated in
favour of that game little pony Midas, by a head ; the same
distance separating Hesse Homburg and Cna3as, who were
second and third. Miserrima closed her career on the Turf
by breaking down.
For the Third Triennial Songstress had it all her own way
from end to end, winning at last very cleverly by a length
from harbinger; Filius a bad third. Red Hind, who was
determined not to make any effort, ran fourth.

Red Hind afterwards, in the spin for the Ascot Detby,
when opposite the stand, took a fancy to suddenly shut up;
almost immediately afterwards a deg running between her
legs threw her down, and for a moment it was imagined that
she had hurt her rider, Nat; such, however, was provi
dentially not the case. In conseqeence of this performance
Convulsion won the stake easily, that wretched apology for
a racehorse Ilex being second.
The fields for to-morrow's races will be materially influ-
enced by the state of the ground and weather, the opposite
side of the course in many parts being very heavy, and the
ground very holding in most parts, with the solitary excep-
tion of the straight tun in.
The starters for the Visitors' and the 50 Sovs. Handicap
Plates it is impossible to give, as they are not yet deter-
mined on.
The Emperor's Plate—Voltigeur, Mountain Deer, Joe
Miller, Grey Tommy, Nobbie Noble, Little Harry, and
perhaps Ambrose. Two or three other horses engaged is
this stake are in the vicinity of the heath, ready to take
the benefit:of the weather, should it still continue rainy and
the course heavy, but who will otherwise not put in an ap-
pearance. The result I anticipate will show VOLTIGEER and
MOUNTAIN DEER in the first two places, with Robbie Noble
and Grey Tommy third and fourth.
Windsor Forest Stakes—FLlßT 1, SALLY 2.
New Stakes, five furlongs 136 yards—Pug Orrock, Pelion
(51b. extra), Coomberlund Stathesmon, Tamerlane, Oakleat,
Pharold, Pitfall, and the filly by Beiraui out of Amaryllis.
P seems to be the fancy letter among the starters for this
race, and I think it very probable that we shall have the P's
first, second, and third, by Puu OaROCK and PHAROLD
tilling the two first places; Felon and Pitfall in the third and
fourth.
50 Sovs. Stakes, one mile and a half—Harbinger, Ben
Nevis; Filiu.s and the Chace are somewhat doubtful, but
may run to take the chance of a chapter of accidents. I ex-
pect to see Nat, on HARBDTGER, to clear the post an easy
winner from Ben Nevis.

ASCOT-HEATH RACES.—Tunsr I.Y.
The plethoric appearance of Mr. Oxley's " Broad Sheet
proved that Ascot had suffered little from the great increase
in the number and importance of the Spring Meetings. It
Presented it complete set of Triennials—a class of racing
every day becoming more popular; the largest Cap entry
known for many years; and a variety of other rich and in-
teresting prizes, making, with the Plates and smaller stakes,
all of which filled beyond expectation, a most satisfactory
total. With so much of promise in the way of sport, and
the assurance that her Majesty, accompanied by her illus-
trious Consort and a large party, would be present, it was
naturally expected that there would be a great assemblage
of the higher orders, and that the middle classes would
revenge themselves for the loss of their annual treat on the
Derby-day.
The aristocracy, who.claim Ascot especially
as their own,
were present in more than usual numbers fora first day,
but the public generally did not muster in the force we have
seen on many former occasions, probably

and dashing drag, emulating the honours of his noble father,
who we were glad to observe on the road with the Duchess
and
a family party, in a very elegant carriage, drawn by four
piebalds. The course was in better order than might have
been anticipated from the heavy rains of yesterday. The
number of booths evidenced that great expectations were
entertained for the week. The Grand Stand was well at-
tended, and the display of female beauty and fashionable
toilets was, as usual, very brilliant.
His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, attended by
Major the Honourable James Macdonald, honoured the
heath with his presence; we also noticed in the Grand and
Stewards' Stands—The Dake and Duchess of Beaufort, and
the Ladies Henrietta and Geraldine Somerset, and Lady
Rachel Russell; the Duke and Duchess of Atholl, the Mar-
