ASCOT HEATH RACES.
TUESDAY.
Even under a management that has been remarkable
for the vigour and success of its endeavourse toe renderkanethe
personal sanction and encouragement of the Sovereign,
the sport worthy of a meeting that alone ht
reb
le
Ascot never offered so brilliant a series of
competition as on the present occasion—and_h
n on
never,
prizes for
perhaps, was a strong list better timed. Had it been

barren and unprofitable. The events spread over the
four days are thirty-three in number, varied in character,
rich in amount, and in the public merits of the
animals engaged, so open, as to make their results
a fruitful source of speculation and prophecy.
The amateur racing is a new feature in
the programme, in which the only flaw is the small
number of acceptances for the two classes of the Ascot
Stakes run yesterday. The handicappers do not appear
to have been happy, either iu the classification of the
horses, or in the measure they have taken of their capa-
bilities. We should not omit to refer to Friday, as ex-
hibiting a proof of sterling improvement. Formerly it
was a day after the feast in the fullest sense of the
phrase ; it will now be a feast of itself, the engagements,
including the munificent prize given by the Great Wes-
tern Railway Company, being seven in number, with a
certainty of at least one extra class of the Wokingham.
We can, therefore, promise those who have missed the
first day, and are not disposed to encounter the crush at
the station, or the vicissitudes of the road on Thursday,
that on either of the " off" days they may rely upon
a profusion of excellent sport. The arrangements on
the heath, and of matters incident to the racing, are
much the same as last year. One or two exceptions,
however, should be noticed. In the first place, Mr.
Oxley, of Windsor, has been re appointed the " official"
printer of the li,ts, and has proved the wisdom of the
change, by shifting his,-stAlishatent
_to the course, and
issuing his bulletins (witli two exceptions, and those not
the fault of the printer), free from the numberless errors
and omissions so conspicuous last year. Mr. Clark, of
course, fills the " judgment-seat, " but the weighing is
now under the care of Mr. Manning, and Mr. Hibbard
succeeds Mr. Charles Davis as Starter, an addition to
his manifold duties as clerk of the course more
acceptable to the owners of the horses, we should
imagine, than to himself. The course, from the judicious
use of guano and other manures, is well covered with
grass, and in an infinitely better condition than any one
could have expected, from the late hot weather—better,
in fact, than it ever was know.
With such powerful intrinsic recommendations it
cannot be doubted that the meeting will be brilliantly
successful. Immense numbers left town by the afternoon
trains on Monday, and on reachinc, the scene of action
4ppropriated. The symp-
we found that every bed, box, and stall within a circle

late in the afternoon wag Very favourable, and the at-

maximum of a first day, was numerous and fashionable.
The Royal Stand was occupied by Lady Lyndhurst and
Miss Ci.vlex, the Countess of Chesterfield, Countess of
Suffield, Hob. Mrs. Anson, Mrs. John Stanley, and seve-
ral other ladies.

The racing detailed below combined the grand essen-
tials—abundance and quality. The first event came off
at half-past one, and as there was a long list to get
through, the usual half-hour intervals were advertised.
Owing, however, to three or four smart showers after
the fourth race, the order of running could not be
strictly observed, and it was a quarter past six o'clock
before the last race was over; it may be questioned if
the convenience of all parties would not be consulted by
an earlier commencement.
Tie following are particulars of the sport:—
The Trial Stakes of 5 sow. each, with 50 added; two yrs old,
4st 41b; three, 7st 41b; four, Bst 71b; five, 9st; six and

lumbus and .iEgis, the others following in a cluster. The
order became more open at the top turn, but there was no
change in the positions until they reached the Brick Kiln,
where the horses closed, and Javelin went on with a slight
lead to the distance. Akbar, the Marquis of Conyngham,
and Inheritress then singled themselves out from the crowd,

with the lead, and, as if resolved to cut his horses down at
starting--increased his lead so much, that at the top turn he
was seven or eight lengths in advance, nor was there any
sensible diminution in his advanced lead until they neared
the last turn; Grimstone, Corranna, and the Peri colt then
joined him, and they ran in company, clear of the other
horses, to the distance. Grimstone here took up the running,

might have acquitted themselves better, bat no one could
have done it with more sincerity or with feelings of
higher admiration for the noble military service in
which you are a distinguished officer."
At the close of Mr. Hamilton's address, each officer
and private received from the hand of the Resident his
medal: Owing to the immense number to be given, the
shades of evening had set in before the distribution was
ended. This interesting ceremony being over, the`
troops marched past, and proceeded to their respective
lines. A dinner was given to the Resident by Colonel
Woodburn, C. 8., and a grand ball took place at the
mess-room, at which all at and around Mhow were as-
sembled. Preparations for the march of the Bombay:
troops are in active progress, but it is feared they will
be subjected to great inconvenience, owing to the great
scarcity of water below the Ghauts. Colonel finish,'
C. 8., and Major Jones, arrived at Mhow on the 23d
instant, from Bombay.
