ASCOT RACES—FRIDAY.
The fourth day of this very excellent meeting afforded
one race more than any of its predecessors had done ; and a
good company, far more limited of course than on Thurs-
day,"saw, under a clottdy sky, three contests decided by a
neck only, and one dead heat. Three winners were
claimed, but not sold by auction, such a method of adding
to ample finances never being had recourse to at Ascot-
The race for the Railway Stakes was an exhibition of very
fine riding on the part of Fordham, whose horse seemed, at
a short distance from home, unable to catch the leaders.
The other events contained nothing of any great note, un-
lesswe wept the peance of Baffler, who ran away
on Thursday and clear a turnpike gate, but ran second
,on Friday, and claimed the winner_ The meeting may
fairly be pronounced one of tho most successful on reco.a,
the only drawback having been the dull weather, the ab-
sence of the Queen, and the closed shutters of the Royal
Stand, even though more than one member of the Royal
family were present on the Cup-day.

field breaking away repeatedly before they could be got
to the post, at last the signal was given and they were
despatched upon equitable terms. On rising the hill the
colours of Baron Munchausen, Lord of the Manor, Con-
fectioner, Olive Branch, and Lopcatcher were olearly dis-
cernible in the van, and shortly afterwards Lord of the
Manor was seen with a clear lead, followed on the upper
side by Baron Munchausen, Confectioner, and Clementi,with
Olive Branch and Lopcatcher on the lower ground, the
others,who were headed by Ripon, Overton„Quicksilver, and
Cutler lying in a cluster two or three lengths in their rear.
In this order they ran to the road, where Lord of the
Manor dropped back, and Lord Chesterfield's colt went to
the front, closely attended by Satellite and Confectioner on
his whip hand, with Olive Branch, Clementi, Quicksilver,
and Ripon lying up, At the distance Satellite went up, and
in a few strides obtained a decided lead, which he held to
the centre of the stand, where the leading horses were
joined by Overton, who had gradually made up his ground.
Fordham waited with great patience to the centre of the
Queen's Stand, where ho put on the screw, and sent Over-
ton in the winner by a neck ; half a length separated the
second and third. There was a like distance between the
third and fourth, and a neck between the fourth and fifth;
