_ ARRIVAL OF THE COURT AT WINDSOR.

WINDSOR, JUNE 6.—The most extensive preparations have
teen made at the Castle for the reception of the Court, and
p,r the accommodation of a large number of visitors during
"he rases, who have been honoured with invitations from
her Majesty. Her Majesty and Prince Albert, with a splen-
dld cortege from the Castle, will proceed to the course
on Tuesday, about twelve o'clock ; and in the evening the
Queen will give a grand entertainment to her distinguished
guests in St. George's Hall. On the following day there
will be a small dinner party at the Castle, and en Thursday,
the Gold Cup day, her Majesty will again honour the
course with her presence, with an extensive retinue. On
that day a magnificent banquet will be given in St. George's-
hall to upwards of 60 distinguished guests. Quadrilles will be
(lanced in the course of the evening ; and the band of the Ist
Life Guards and her Majesty's private band will be in attend-
ance. The whole of the gold and silver plate will be displayed
at the upper end of the hall on this occasion, and preparations
will be made, upon the most extensive scale, to give every
possible grandeur of effect to this entertainment.
The race-course is now in most admirable order for running.
Most of the horses entered for the various stakes and matches
have arrived in the neigbourhood of Ascot.
The new Royal stabillng and coach-house, on the course, for
her Majesty's carriagdo and horses, are entirely finished, and
fit for occupation. They are most conveniently situated, within
less than 100 yards of the Royal stand, to which there is a
communication by means of a gravelled carriage drive. Each
of the ranges of stabling, of which there are two, is nearly 180
feet long, and 14 feet in width, and capable of containing 60
torsos. The coach-house, which will hold 24 carriages, is
about 120 feet in length, and 16 feet wide, and is situated be-
tween the two ranges of stabling.
The inconvenience of the want of a supply of water on the
_outse has always been seriously and expensively felt, espe-
cally when frequently, during the races, as much as 2s. per
pailful has been given for that which has been brought in
:,arrels and water carts for the supply of horses. A well has
ust been sunk within the wall surrounding the Royal stables
.mards of 80 feet deep, from which a constant supply of ex-
, (Tent water, to an almost unlimited extent, can now be ob-
lined. At the last Epsom races, on the Derby day, as much
as Is. per quart was absolutely obtained for spring water, such
was its scarcity.
At the back of the Grand Stand new turf has been laid down
in the enclosure, and numerous ornamental shrubs have, for
irne time past, been planted, under the superintendence of
Hibbard, the clerk of the course, which are now in a thriv-
ia; condition.
