ASCOT RACES-WEDNESDAY.

There is little but the Hunt Cup and a Biennial or so to
attract any great crowd on the Wednesday, and the day is
generally a quiet one in every respect. •
The Fern-hill Stakes was won by Gardevisure very
easily, and Siberia carried off the Coronation Stakes after a
set-to with Desiree. The Hunt Cup brought out its usual
large field, 25 appearing on this occasion, and Union Jack
being made a very warm favourite. He looked certainly
as fit as horse could look, and is much improved and
thickened since his severe illness. But though ho ran into
third place a game horse with all the weight, he had to
succumb to Gratitude, who has now recompensed Mr.
Robinson for one or two disapp.)intments with her. The
7th Ascot Biennial was another turn for the fielders in
Farewell's defeat of Zambesi. Mr. Bowes's colt, generally
supposed during the winter to be the best of John Scott's
lot, won cleverly. Janitor made an exaluple of his field iu
the 13th Triennial by winning in a common canter, and
Threadbare by making all the running in the Visitor's
Plato won, after a good race with Lady Hylda and Amber.
The attendance was above the average of Hunt cup
days.
