" that dear Old Hundredth," as Mr. Thackeray
would have said (" All people that on earth do

more glorious than ever. Such a sonorous, massive,
living unison might well have astounded the placid
genial Haydn, and brought tears from the eyes of
that indefatigable searcher after overwhelming
" effects,"M. Hector Berlioz—Haydn's very anti.

given poor Meyerbeer an idea for a new Benediciion
of Swords. In its particular sphere there is nothing
like it. The language of music never uttered so
much with means so simple. What could more
fittingly serve than this to prepare the mind for the
earnest act of prayer ? The Hundredth Psalm
could never be omitted from this festival, nor could

George 11. was, indeed, a fortunate monarch in

In short, it may be taken for granted that Men-

it will not be very advisable, or very easy, to turn
him out again. Pity that ho did not live to do
something expressly for the chfldres's union, in
combination with the harmony of the choir and the

the sermon, preached by the Lord Bishop of Ripon,

whether by Dr. Croft, or by Handel, or by neither,
is a very fine one. Last, and greatest of all, came
from the sublime "Hallelujah," the tune of

ASCOT .AOI2S.—THURbDAY.

A few minutes after 1 o'clock their Royal Highnesses

the PrEce and Princess of Wales drove up to the Royal
Stand in an open carriage and four, preceded by outriders
in the Royal liveries. The suite in attendance followed in
an open phaeton drawn by four greys. The reception ac•
corded to the Prince and Princess was what may be called
quietly hearty and respectful—a reception in which the
enthusiasm for the Royal family never passed those bounds
beyond which it would have been impossible for them to
enjoy the races. The Princess, who now wears half mourn-
ing, took her place at the window of the Royal Stand, and
with a little book of the races in her hand, gave herself up
to the enjoyment of the scene with the most vivid interest
—an interest apparently as great in its way as that of the
Prince himself, who stood beside her.

In the Biennial Stakes, Mr Merry's horse Zambesi,
which was so badly ridden for the Queen's Stand Plate on
Tuesday, when he might have won with ease had he been
called on earlier, was on this occasion better handled. The
final appeal of the jockey was not delayed till the winning-
post was close a-head. The effort was made just as the
Stand was near, and in spite of the long odds of the leaders
Zambesi made a magnificent rush and won.
The Sweepstakes only brought out three horses, so that
all won places, the merit of first being gained by Mr
Bowes's Hark Forward, who came in at the last with a
spurt, and won, Before the race for the Cup the paddock
was crowded, Lord Clifden proving the great centre of
attraction, He is wonderfully altered and by no means
improved since the Derby of '63, when Macaroni headed
him at the distance and seemed to thrust his neck past him.

Lord Clifden did his best on that occasion, and will never
do so well again. It is a pity Macaroni could not have met
him yesterday, but Macaroni, it is said, will never race
again, nor, we venture to think, will Lord Clifden. He
is a moat magnificent-looking animal, but not a racer. To
judge merely by his appearance among the other horses,
he must rand over 16 hands, and all this height is in his
legs, which seem overgrown, and look weedy and weak. It
seemed almost incredible that Little Stag, a very under-
sized horse, which he was so meekly following round the

paddock, was a better animal as a racer, for we believe Little
Stag has a higher racing career before him than ever Lord

Clifden will attain. Scottish Chief was again the favourite
in the paddock, and certainly his perfect good temper and

exquisite condition, notwithstanding the race of the morn-
ing, justified the confidence of the public, who had seen him

CURIOSITIES OF COMMERCE.—When free trade
was still in the future we were often told how round-
about and costly were the waYs by which hostile tariffs
sometimes compelled merchants to send goods to their desti-
nation. Free trade too seems to have its marvels. During
the last ten days several cargoes of wheat,arriving atLiverpool
from San Francisco, have been at once despatched to Mel-
bourne; that being, in the present state of the markets of
the two countries the destinationmost likely to retw n a profit,
and there is now lying at Now York a cargo of hemp which
there sent to Liverpool, and on its arrival in Liverpool was '

win easily, and, in spite of the stride of Lord Clifden, be-
lieved he would wia again. Lord Zetland attracted a good
deal of attention, though on the whole Wingrave seemed
preferred to him, Unlike the race for the Biennial Stakes
the start for the Cup was effected easily, and amid the
cheers of thousands Scottish Chief for the second time that
day came in an easy winner; Little Stag second, and Lord
Zetland third,

Before the race was run the rain, which had been imrni•
nent during the latter part of the day and which had occa-
sionally come down in gentle showers, set in father heavily
at last, and a general rush was made for town after the race
for the Cup was over. The following aro the remarks of
our sporting correspondent :

Of course, the Cup is the be-all and end-all of an Ascot
Thursday, though there were one or two events that claimed
some attention from the rank and standing of the animals
engaged. This was the case in the first event of the day,
the New Biennial, in which Scottish Chief and Knight of
Snowden, the third and fourth in the Derby, were to meet
again.. The Chief commanded all the admiration he excited

The C...p Day n tau Nee". may be ranked among the
~,ust permanent of our institutions. A wet day does
most materially seriously affect the Derby ; but, wet or
dry, hot or cold, there is a certainty about both the quantity
and quality of the Cup Day's audience at Ascot which as
yet at least no other of our great national games has been
able to command. If anything could have prejudicially in-
fluenced the attendance on this occasion, the calamitous
railway accident, which so sadly marred the first day of
this great meeting would have done so. Yet we are sure
we are speaking within the limits when we say that the
gathering of visitors yesterday was as much beyond the
gathering of last year's Cup Day as that of Tuesday sur-
passed its predecessors. As a matter of course, every pos-
sible precaution was adopted by the railway company en
this occasion, and such extra rules of caution had been im-
pressed upon the drivers of all the engines as to make the
jonrney both down and up one of the slowest for its mileage
by rail that could well be effected. The 26 miles from Wa-
terloo in moat instances took nearly two hours to accom-
plish, and, though by these precautions perfect safety was
in a measure insured, yet, as a rule, the public seemed by
no means gratified at this display of solicitude on their
behalf, and rather resented than otherwise the practieal
application of the maxim "slow and sure" when applied to
themselves on a racing day. From these remarks it may be
guessed that a considerable proportion of the visitors from
town were late—not too late, indeed, to see the cup run
for, but, in many instances, much too late to see at leisure
the aspect of the course itself and its wondrous throng of
sightseers. At Epsom every rank, from the very highest to
the lowest, is blended in indiscernible gradations, and the
crowd which assembles on the Downs is for the time being
only a houselesa London, carrying with it all the extrava-
gance and squalor, all the vice, folly, and enjoyment, of the
great metropolis. At Ascot it is not so any more than at
Goodwood, where the line is broad and well defined which
separates high and low.
It is needless to enter here upon the thrice-told tale of the
appearance of the course. Every one knows now how it
has certain rural refinements, which even in their bois-
terous aspects differ from the wild saturnalia which mark
the Epsom gathering. Viewed from its moral aspect, how-
ever, it may be remarked that the proportion of every grade
of sharpers is three or four to one at Ascot as compared
with the members of the same fraternity who honour Epsom.
The men with the three cards, those of the three peas, even
those who have to sell sovereigns and bank-notes, and who
adjure the spectators in moving terms to enable them to get
rid of a certain number before the clock strikes two, are
getting rare at Epsom. London visitors form a most un-
profitable audience for such transparent sharpers, though
among the Ascot rustics they thrive in such a rank luxu-
riance as leaves little else to see or hear upon the coarse
between the races but their incessant bellowing and en-
treaties to bet on the cards. For the rest there is much the
same role of acrobats and nigger minstrels, girls on stilts,
and monkeys on round tables ; children scarcely able to
walk upon their feet, yet earning a precarious subsistence
by tottering on their hands, and, in short, what one sees
always at all the races. Decidedly there is an utter want
of novelty in the amusements which these Bedouins of the
racecourse offer to their patrons. Is there no genius among
these wild tribes who can start something new, something
not on stilts, or with its face not blackened, or which has ,
not been pelted at before P It is not easy, we admit, to
make the discovery, but, on the other hand, neither is the
reward small or uncertain which awaits the fortunate in-
ventor.

The improvements effected in the Grand Stand since last
year make it now by far the finest, handsomest, and most
commodious Stand in the kingdom. It is, in fact, a model
of what such a Stand should be, just as that at Epsom may
be said to be in the opposite category. Yesterday all parts
of the Stand and its stalls were crowded. The en-
closure afforded scarcely more than standing-room,
while the long slope at the opposite side was
crowded, even down to the ccurse, both with
carriages and with dense rows of spectators, in such
numbers as we have never seen before. Another great im-
provement, which may be said to make this place of racing
meeting perfect, is the formation of a saddling paddock,
close in rear of the judge's chair, where the animals before
starting can be carefully looked to by their trainers and
owners, instead of being, as heretofore, saddled anywhere
on the course in the midst of crowds so trying to horses of
un«pral temper as the majority of racers generally arc.
The new paddock, though not very spacious, is convenient
and well kept, has a lofty stand from which the whole
course can be viewed, and, above all, admission can only
be gained by properly issued tickets, so that the large,
rough, and very mixed crowd which fills the paddock at
Epsom is here altogether done away with. It was well
attended yesterday, and the les. fee was grudged by
none when they found that they had really got what they
had paid for—namely, a quiet view of a:1 the horses before
starting.

The first race brought a large field of competitors. Fore-
most in interest and favour was Mr 'Merry's Scottish Chief,
who won his first honours on the Ascot Course, where there
was nothing much to speak of after him who was beaten at
Newmarket by Cambuscan, and afterwards at Goodwood
by Fille de l'Air in a canter. Still he was the favourite,
though a slight-looking horse, but perfect in condition and
temper, with a deep chest, powerful forehand, and arched
loins, and, above all, a light, easy, len; stride, that told of
" going" when his jockey should call on him near the chair.
The Knight of Snowdon and Young Rapid, the former a
bleak colt, whose reputation fer staying is fast rising; the
latter a light chestnut colt, of great power and endurance.
and who in the two-mile race on Tuesday so easily defeated
Little Stag, Birch Broom, and half a score of more Me-
braced antagonists than himself, were Scottish Chief's most
formidable opponents. As it turned out, however, they had
no chance. Scottish Chief won easily, and, by his subse-
quent still more easy victory over Lord Clifden for the Cup,
vindicated the judgment of the public who lately made him
first favourite for the Derby.
The St. James's Palace Stakes was a most hollow affair,
in which The Beadle had to canter, and the riders of
Alpheus and Myrtilus spur hard to follow him at a modest
distance. The race for the Plate was carried off by Mr
Payne's Lemonade—the general feeling in the paddock
seeming to be that Lord Westmoreland's Auditor stood the
best chance.

at Epsom, and certainly is as splendid and bloodlike a horse
as this year has seen. They laid 11 to 10 on him, 10 to 1 agst
the Knight, and these two were alone in the race. Singling
themselves out at the Stand, they ran home together, Cap-
tain Cooper's horse not being able to quite reach the favour-
ri: ..ho won en exciting race by a neck. The Cup betting
had been limited to the two favourites, Lord Clifden and the
Chief, a small field being anticipated. After the above race,
Mr Merry's colt took a decided lead, and was first favourite
when the flag fell.
The customary parade of the Cup orses took place in the
royal enclosure. Lord Clifden looked short of work, and the
Chief appeared not to have La-got ten his previous race. They
were got dow: to the post after their preliminary canter,
and the flag 611 t--Ft.ut an hour and a half after the time ap-
pointed. It is sufficient here to say that Wingrave looked
as well as anything until the turn into the straight; that
Lord Clifden was never in the race ; and that the Chief, who
had been lying well with his horses, came out at the Stand,
and won very easily by six lengths.

10 to 1 each agst Knight of Snowdon, Little Gentleman,
and Young Rapid, 100 to 8 agat Master Richard, and 103
to 7 agst Blue Mantle.
The flag was lowered to a very unsatisfactory start, 'Va-
' tuna, whose head was turned from her horses, being left
hopelessly behind. The Little Gentleman was the first away,
and made the running, closely attended by Master Richard
and Glendusk, the three being followed nearly abreast by
Scottish Chief, King George, and Knight of Snowdon, close
in whose wake came Blue Mantle and Young Rapid, Bat-
taglia and Vacuna bringing up the rear. Approaching the
bend Master Richard joined the leader, the pair coming into
the straight together, when they were joined by the favou-
rite, who came up on the inside, and Knight of Snowdon
and Glendusk in the centre of the course. They ran thus
to half way up, where the Little Gentleman dropped back,
and the favourite took a clear lead, but was caught at the
enclosure by Knight of Snowdon—Blue Mantle at the same
time headed Master Richard and joined issue with the
leaders, who finished a fine race home, Scottish Chief, run-
ning the longest, winning very cleverly at last by a neck.
Blue Mantle, who was stopped, finished four lengths in their
rear and a neck in advance of Master Richard. King George
was fourth, Glendusk fifth, the Little Gentleman sixth, and
Young Rapid next. Battaglia and Vacuna trotted in last.

Through the impatience of several of the light weights,
who repeatedly broke away, the start was delayed some Mme.
At last the signal was lowered, when the running was taken
up by Lemonade in the centre of the course, followed on the
left by the Nervous colt, and wide en the Stand side by
Auditor and Le Mediantei the others being brought up
under the command of sister to Tomato, 72,r.nuie Lass,
Kathleen, Sequence, and Mail Train. They rim thus to
the distance, w, en the two leaders drew and came on toge-
ther to the Stand, when Morgan brought up Auditor and
joined the leaders, the three running from this point a close
and exciting race home, Lemonade winning in the Lest stride
by a head,. the Nervous colt defeating Auditor by a like
distanco for second. La Mechante was fourth, close up;
sister to Tomato fil,h; Kathleen sixth, and G,:dmersham
next. The others, headed by S, quence, Mail Train, Hol-

and 20 to 1 agst Quaker.

The fractiousness of Kcenig and Audax delayed the
start some time, the former on several occasions breaking
away and running to within two distances from home.
When fairly in their places Mr M`George lowered his flag,
when Mr Sutton's two, on the upper ground, were seen in
advance of Convent and the favourite, Zambezi, with La
Fortune, The Clown, and Goldylocks following next. On
reaching the enclosure Jczabel and her stable companion
gave way, and the lead was immediately taken up by
Zambezi, who was challenged at the stand by Komig, but
who failed to getup, and was beaten in a very easy manner
by two lengths, a length and a half separating the
second and third. The Clown was a bad fourth, Audax
fifth, and Convent sixth; La Fortune and Quaker, side by
side, were the next two. Goldylocks and Furze Chat were
the last two.

Alabama rushed to the front immediately the signal was

grave, Little Stag, Gibraltar, the favourite, and Lord
Zetland in the order we have given, and at an interval
of three lengths came Molly Carew, Ranger, and Lord
Clifden nearly abreast. In these positions they came
past the stand, but as they rounded the ton turn Little
Stag rushed to the front and descended the hill three
or four lengths in advance of Alabarra, Wingrave going
on third, with Scottish Chief, and Lord Zetland,
side by side, next, followed by Gibraltar and Ranger; the
others still lying off. Half way along the Swinley bottom,
Alabama gave way and speedily joined the rear division,
which left the Baron's colt in attendance upon the leader,
the pair being joined at the old mile post by the favourite,
clone up with whom wore Lord Zetland and Ranger. As
they approached the bend they got upon closer terms, and
