ASCOT HEATH RACES.—.WEDNESDAY.
For the second day of Ascot races the attendance was
extremely geed, particularly in the Grand Stand. The
weather, also, was most charming. The Royal Hunt Cup
produced the large field of 29, but after the Queen of
Trumps had taken her preliminary canter it
was discovered
thattar she
g-p wasost. lamehe
; consequently she did not go to the
tin race was won in a very easy manner
sT
by the favourite Victor. In the Ascot Derby, Wells had a
narrow escape from being badly hurt. The horse he was
riding in the race, Brother to Morocco, having been crossed
by Blue Mantle, the former struck into his heels, which
caused him to fall, breaking his leathers and the bridle
owning completely off his head. We are happy to say
Wells did not receive any injury. For the Fernhill Stakes
Tomato Caine in first, everybody at the same time believing
it to be the Baron's other colt llippolyta, as from some
stupid blunder the letter's number was exhibited on the
telegraph board instead of that of Tomato. The mistake
caused an objection to be made against the winner, which
was subsequently gone into by the stewards, who awarded
the race to Tomato, but the subject of beta will be gone
into at Tattersall's on Monday.

and Crafton Lass, the favourite with her stable companion,
lying off. On crossing the road Crafton Lass went to the
front and came on with a clear lead, Fantail going second,
with the favourite next, Columba at the same time

dropping into the rear. On entering the straight Lady
a went up to Fantail, with whom she ran to half
way up, then quitted them without an effort, and won in a
canter by a length ; half a length between the second and
third. Cerintha was a bad fourth.

Bertha, and 6 to 1 each agst Jaruicoton and Blue Mantle.
At the fourth attempt they got away upon equitable
terms, Blue Mantle making the running for a few strides,
when he was passed by the Frenchman, Blue Mantle going
on second, who was followed by Onesander and Brother
to Morocco—Newsmonger, Warhorse, and Queen Bertha
lying several lengths in their rear. Passing the Kennels,
Onesander took the second place, and came on in atten-
dance upon the leaders, followed on his whip hand by
tho Baron's colt into the straight, where they were joined
by Queen Bertha, the lot running in close company to the
distance}, where Onesander drew away, followed next the
rails by Queen Bertha, Blue Mantle at the same time
giving evidence of his currish temper by running all
over the course, and in so doing crossed Brother to
Morocce in his attempt to get through, and brought horse
and rider to the ground, fortunately without injury to
either. Onesander retained his advantage to the end,
and won in a canter by two lengths; a bad third. Jarni-
coton was fourth. The others pulled up and did not pass
the post.

Precisely at 3 25 the flag wan lowered to the most unsatis-
factory start of the meeting, the greater portion of the ani-
mals being left at the post. Bertha, as nearly as we could
make out, after running a few strides, took a slight lead on
the far side, with the favourite in the centre, close up with
whom were Prince Plausible, Knave, Glenorchy, the Grey
Hen colt, and Knowsley, the latter lying wide on the stand
side ; the others, who were headed by Exchequer, Umpire,
Doncaster, Tademus, and Rubini, following in two divi-
sions, some two or three lengths in the rear ; crossing the
road. Morris brought out Victor and took a decided lead,
waited upon by The Knave, Glenorchy, Lord Glasgow's
colt, and Doncaster, who ran in company half way up the
bill, when the tailing commenced in earnest, the front divi-
sion alone having the slightest chance in the contest. The
favourite held his own to the end, and won with the most
ridiculous ease by four lengths, three lengths separating
the second and third, a like distance between the third and
fourth ; Doncaster was fifth, Prince Plausible sixth, Argo-
naut seventh, and Tademus next, all close up. The last
lot
comprised Queen of Spain, Michel Grove, Birdhill,
Cadeau, Ace of Clubs, and Indolence.
