ASCOT HE kTil RACES
FRIDAY.

The favourable anticipation which we indulged in at
'he beginning of the meeting, have been, we are happy
to say, fully verified by the results. The sport on the
first three days was aburylant, and the most fastidious
have pronounced it first rate. The conclusion of the
meeting, which, apart from the reg.re:ted absence of her
Majesty, took place and r the most felicitous circum-
stances, did not detract from its promising. annotiore-
merit. The great feature 34,sterdsv was the rich prize
offered for eonspetition by the Directors of the Gr-oat
Western Railway. Though " tarde venit et post long
intervallo," it must be received with becoming gratitude.
The Public Press. that ever takes the initialise in all
that is useful or amusing, deserves popular thanks upon
this head, for we do not hesitate to say that, hid it not
been for its representations, the great probability is th it
the directors would not have thought of petting cpart
any portion of the large profits annually derived from
the races to the improvement of them.
As is generally the ease at the wind.cip of a long meet-
ing, the attendance yesterday was confined to thi. keen
minority, who are always determined to be in at the
finish ; who, after the liu-tie, jostl mg, and exci!eme tot
the cup day, looked for a good quiet day's racing, without
annoyance or i.,terruption, and they were not diw,
point, d. B. fore we conclude, we should not forget to
compliment Lord Rosslyn and his staff on the efficient
manner in which their arduous functions were performed.
The starting, judging, weighing and keeping of the
course, wore all that might have been expected
from parties who on all occasions have
pt over] thems-lves eminently qualified for the
duties assigns-d to them. The only contretemps worth
speaking of were the exhibition of the wrong number
in Jericho's race on Wednesday, and the omission of two
of Sir Gilbert Hoathcote's horses from the cards on the
first day. With regard to the latter we should mention
that Lord Exeter, whose horse ran 4econd for one of
them, the Ascot Derby, claimed the race on the ground
that Brother to Valentissimo had hen scratched. P
turned out on investigation that omission arose from a
misconception, and the judge's decision was confirmed.
The racing yesterday came off cc follows

DIVING OPERATIu.sit3.—,MGH'roN. JUNE i I.—Mr.
Gibson, a gentleman employed by Government to make submaraie
surveys of the co4.st by weuna of a diving dress, has been here for
the last two months, having b en sent by Government to eNanthie
the Bee, a sloop or hillyboy, which foundered off the town about
three mouths ago, and to unshackle the remaining section of Cap-
tain Taylor's floating breakwater, which has been moored off
itrighton more than a twelvemonth. Mr. Gibson has been et Avn in
the Bee five or six times, and has taken a drawing of the vessel and
her situation. Ile states that at high water she is about nine
fathotns deep, and that she lies upon a rock ; that it would b use-
less to attempt to raise her, as she is very considerably da-
maged, and is only kept down by the great weight of

I COVENT',AI4I3ILN THEATRE.
M. .Tullien has tak n this theatre for a shot: series of
Conceit: D'Ete, which c,minenced venitrg. The
theatre is elegantly fitted up, and M. Jullicn has :not
neglected to introduce those rnaLniflrient vases, fillets
with the choice'st flowers, which have hitherto he."ll
the prevailing characteristic of the Concerts D'l U.
M. Jullicn has, however, made an innovation upon
the moral programme of promenade concerts;
he gives us vocal as well as instrumental music, and his
vocali-ts are, like his instrumentalists, in the very first
rank of the profession. Miss Birch and Herr Pischek
are engaged for these concerts, and these nal tes last
night grave us the beautiful duet " 0 du Gliebile" in
exquisite style. M -.nsieur and Mademoiselle Goldberg
are likea ise engaged, and in the duet " I Gondolieri,"
they were rapturously applauded. Herr Hoelzil gave
the German song " Der Schmerz," in admirable style;
and, altogether, the experiment of the introduction of
vocal music into these concerts may be pronounced to
have been most successful. The instrumental music
consisted of a s-lection of f aourite overtures, sel-ctions,
quadrilles, and waltzes, performed as Jullien's band
atone can perform them. The house was crowded to
suffocation, and we may safely promise to M. Jullicu a
prosperous career for his Concerts D'Efr.
