SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
ASCOT HEATH RACES.—TISURSDAY.
The number of valuable prizes which composed the
bill of fare for the " grand day" would, under more fa-
vourable circumstances, have insured an immense com-
pany; the absence of the Queen, however, proved a great
drawback, and unfortunately the weather, so propitious
on the first and second days, turned out most unfavour-
able; heavy showers fell during the whole of the morn-
ing, with an effect upon the attendance that could not
escape observation. The stands, it is true, were very
nearly full, the carriage enclosure put on a good front,
and the foot people numbered ten to one compared with
Tuesday, but, for a "Cup Day," the falling off was ex-
traordinary: of this fact the trains from Paddington and
Nine Elms, the sale of cards, and the receipts of the va-
rious stands;and booths, furnished ample evidence. For
the first time within our recollection the Queen's Stand
was closed; this obliged many ladies of distinction, who
were formerly allowed the privilege of occupying the
royal apartments during the absence of her Majesty, to
resort to the Stewards' Stand; this was crowded with
persons of high rank, amongst whom we noticed their
Serene Highnesses the Duke of Mecklenburgh Strelitz,
Prince Edward of Saxe Weimar, and the Prince of
Hesse: their Highnesses the Princess Metternich, Prince
Richard of Metternich, and the Princess Melanie of
Metternich; the Duke and Duchess of Montrose, Mar-
quis and Marchioness of Drogheda, the Marchioness of
Ailesbury, and the Countess of Wilton. His Royal
Highness Prince George of Cambridge, attended by the
Hon. Captain Macdonald, was also present; also the
the Earl of Cardigan, Earl Rosslyn, Lord Vivian, Lord
Dunkellin, Sir Hugh and Lady Campbell, Colonel Cha-
loner, and most of the titled and distinguished persons
whose names We published in our last.
The crack event for the day was the Emperor of
Russia's magnificent gift, which at one time bid fair to
be a heavy betting race. The Hero and War Eagle 'me t
last year for the Doncaster Cup, the former stale from
running on hard ground, his opponent a fresh horse.
War Eagle won easy, but, for the reason stated, few
attached any merit to the performance. The Hero was
this year said to be quite himself, and War Eagle's race
at Chester showed an improvement on his three-year-old
form; both, therefore, were strongly fancied, and up to
the Thursday before the meeting it was quite an open
race—from that day War Eagle lost ground, and al-
though he won easily on Tuesday, it was the prevailing
opinion that he would not come to the post. The opi-
nion was confirmed ou Wednesday afternoon by a decla-
ration that he would not start. Flatcateher had previ•
ously been in some favour with his immediate party;
War Eagle's withdrawal brought him more strongly into
favour, and on Wednesday night, at Windsor, he was
backed for a considerable sum by his owner at 2 to 1.
The Hero party also became more sweet, as much as 2
to 1 having been laid on him to a good deal of money.
Saddle was mentioned as a probable starter, but the race,
taking the betting as a criterion, was reduced to a match.
We need only add that the Hero maintained his preemi-
nence by winning with the greatest ease imaginable.
We understand that his owner has said the Vase to John
Day, jun., who intends to present it to Lady Mill as
a mark of his gratitude for the generous protection and
assistance he received from Sir John Barker Mill, dur-
ing a most trying period.
The New Stakes were carried off in gallant style by a
two yrs old of Mr. Green's, which was afterwards backed
for the Derby at 20 to 1; both the three yrs old stakes
were won in a canter by Glendower. The day's racing,
although not distinguished by any exciting contests, was
good, and but for twe or three heavy showers, would
have lett nothing to complain of; it was brought to a
close about half-past five o'clock.

mediately took a lead of three or four lengths, which he
maintained until half way up the distance, here Flat-
catcher made his effort, and on sufferance got so near
that his admirers fancied his chance was not quite out;
