is a large and handsome piece of plate, manufactured
from a design by Mr. Cotterill, and represents Charles of
Luxembourg, the blind and aged King of Bohemia, who,
having caused his horse's bridle to bo made fast to the
bridles of the horses of two knights between whom he
rode at the battle of Cressy, thus dashed sword in hand
upon the English troops. The name of this prize was
altered from the Ascot Gold Cup to the Emperor's Plate
in 1845 in compliment to the Emperor of Russia, who,
being present at the race the preceding year, gave 5001.
annually for a piece of plate to be added to the stakes.
Under the circumstances of the war with Russia, the
gift of the Czar has been declined this year, and the
prize has reverted to its original character and title.
The races, of which there were seven in the programme,
