ASCOT JIEATII RACES.

MONDAY, OCT. 11.-It is with extreme regret we report,
that the intended Races under the immediate patronage and

treme wetness of the weather. Part of the course was deluged
with water. The Fashionables and others present were there-
fore unavoidably disappointed. The Races were announced for

of Sir Hussey Vivian, Sir Francis Burdett, Mr. Mills, and
numerons ether gentlemen. The scene of action was an
extensive field of turnips, in which it was known that
there were partridges in sufficient number; and the ground
was graced'. by several carriages containing ladies. The
spectators were ranged on the outside of the field ; a fine
bird. was then unhooded by the falconer, and permitted to
fly : the hawk immediately lowered, and hovered over the field I
after a few '
minutes had elapsed, some boys entered the field, to
disturb' the birds, and a .partridge at length arose: the hawk,
though at a greatdistanceidarted after hand struck it to diegronnd
but the partridge recovering, flew among the spectators, where,
it was pursued by the-hawk-and killed. The other hawks were
Altai:nth let loose,' and *all but one of them killed a. partridge
each: some of the latter were killed out of the sight of the spec-

call ; and when out of his sight and•bettring, heattrartett then:
