SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

ASCOT HEATH RACES.-YESTERDA r.
(CONCLUDED.)

With the fourth day's racing we close our report of a meeting
which, contending as it with the disadvantages of bad weather, and
a list, originally good, but prejudicially affected by the prevailing
sickness in racing stables, has passed with an eclat almost without
precedent. Without stopping to inquire minutely into the causes
of its success, it is obvious that it must be mainly attributed to the
admirable system adopted by the Stewards (the Earl of Errol, C.
Greville, Esq., the Dnke of Beaufort, and the Earl of Chesterfield),
and the efficient manner in which their directions have been carried
into effect by Mr. Hibburd, clerk of the course. We are happy to
find that their exertions have been appreciated by those most inte-
rested, namely, the proprietors of race-horses, and the public. To
Lord Errol himself, on whom, as Master of the Buckhounds, the
weight of the stewardship devolved, we have to tender our thanks
for the great facilities afforded us in obtaining information connected
with the meeting ; favours made doubly acceptable by having been
accorded us unsolicited. 'We understand that, in order to make
sport for next year, it is the Noble Earl's intention, before the town
season is over, to give a grand dinner to the most influential sup-
porters of the turf ; so good a feeling towards the meeting now exists
amongst all classes that his Lordship's success cannot be doubted.
We are also given to understand that active preparations are going
on for the erection of a Grand Stand, and that its completion by
next year is almost certain.
The weather yesterday was so wet that very few fashionables at-
tended, nor was the muster of general company beyond what could
have been expected under the circumstances. The following list of
the Nobility includes nearly all who were present :—Duke of Rut-
land, Marquis of Exeter, Earl of Errol, Earl of Albemarle, Earl of
Suffield, Earl of Chesterfield, Earl of Uxbridge, Earl Stradbroke,

ted to state that Mr. Clark, of Newmarket, officiated as Judge with
his usual impartiality. As postcript the second, we have to state
that the carriage money exceeded last year's by nearly one hundred
pounds, and'eat-the increase in the sale of lists and cards was pro-
portionately greata corroboration of all we have said in praise of
the meeting.
