THE ASCOT MEETING.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SlR,—The Ascot meeting, as usual, is replete with
stakes of all sorts and values, and the list very strong.
Should we have fine weather, a first-rate attendance may

making it the very opposite of what is generally !,be
The meeting commences, as is ordinarily the case at
most meetings, with the Trial Stakes—a new mile spin
for horses of all ages. This stake has yet to close and
name. _ _

-Out of the forty-seven nominations to the Second Tri-
ennial Stakes, not more, I anticipate, than six or seven
will appear at the post; they probably are the fol-
lowing:—Misserrima, Midas, Hesse Homburg, Cnmus,
Catalpa, Constellation, and perhaps Anspach. In the
first two years of this stake Misserrima accomplished a
victory on each occasion easily; in 1850 beating Mr.
Merryman second, CL. mils third, and ten others; last
year she had Comas second to her, with the Nun third;
Midas, Anspach, and Constellation not being able
to live the pace, were beaten off early. If
this miserably-named daughter of Pantaloon and
Phryne is in her old form, which she is
said to be, I can discover nothing that stands
a chance of boating her, notwithstanding that the
