ASCOT HEATH RACES. —.YESTERDA r.
Suffering as much from the bustle of Tuesday as from the
preparations indispensable to the due enjoyment of the grand
day, the races yesterday, as has always been the case on the
Wednesday, did not pass oil' with much animation, nor did the
company in any respect exceed the usual average. We did
not observe any member of the Royal Family; but several of
the visitors at the Castle, attracted by the fineness of the w.qi.
t!icr and the " large promise," availed themselves of his Ma-
j -st's Stand to join the afternoon amusements. The Jockey
Club Stand was full, nor was there any deficiency in the our
belonging- to the stewards ; the others, however, were feebly
supported. We understand that her Majesty has signified her
intention to be present this day, accomdanied by he r distin-
guished guests, and that there i 3 every reason to expect that
the att,ndanee will be immense. Amongst the cw-npany pre-
sent yesterday were the Duke of Rutland, the Doke of Graf-
ton, the Duke of Beaufort. the Marquis and Marchioness of
Exeter, the Marquis Col:pig-Imm Count Nlatuszevie, Count
