ASCOT HEATH RACES.
TUESDAY.
Even under a management that has been remarkable
for the vigour and success of its endeavours to render
the sport worthy of a meeting that alone obtains the
personal sanction and encouragement of the Sovereign,
Ascot never offered so brilliant a series of prizes for
competition as on the present occasion—and never,
perhaps, was a strong list better timed. Had it been on
the meagre scale that passed muster in the late reigns, it
is clear that the meeting, lacking its most attractive
feature—the presence of the Queen—would have 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
604nals engaged, so open, as to make their results
a fruitful source of speculation and prophecy.
The amateur racing is a anew feature in
the
number of
Iflbirehtht
the
et
woon only a
ss Hawes ri s
the the small 4 g 0 t
Stakes run yesterday. The handicappers do not appear
to have been happy, either in the classification of the
horses, or in the measure they have taken of their capa-
ngrofaanleemeeita inn ce which
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 clay, 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. sOue or two exceptions,
however, should be noticed. In the first place, Mr.
Oxley, of Windsor, has been re appointed the " official"
printer of the lists, and has proved the wisdom of the
change, by shifting his establishment to the course, and
issuing his bulletins (with 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 cenrse, 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 reaching the scene of action
we found that every bed, box, and stall within a circle
of five miles of the Heath, was appropriated. The symp-
toms yesterday were not less decided : the weather until
late in the afternoon was very favourable, and the at-
tendance, if for an obvious reason it did not attain the
maximum of a first day, was numerous and fashionable.
The Royal Stand was occupied by Lady Lyndhurst and
Miss Copley, the Countess of Chesterfield, Countess of
Suffield, Hon. Mrs. Anson, Mrs. John Stanley, and seve-
ral other ladies.
In the Grand and Jockey Club Stands, which made
an excellent display, were the Duke of Beaufort, Duke
of Rutland, Marquis of Exeter, Marquis of Granby,
Marquis of Worcester, Marquis of Waterford, Earl
Stradbroke, Earl of Chesterfield, Earl and Countess of
Albemarle, Earl Jersey, Earl of Uxbridge, Earl Mil-
town, Earl of Orford, Earl of Rosslyn, Earl Spencer,
Earl of Wilton, Earl of March, Earl of Lonsdale, Earl
of Caledon, Lord Duncannon, Lord Maidstone, Lord
Leveson, Lord Newport, Lord C. Manners, Lord
Sonserton, Lord H. Lennox, Lord E. Russell, Lord S.
Osborne, Lord Stanley, Lord Villiers, Lord F. Fitzroy,
Lord Macdonald, Lord W. Powlett, Lord Glamis, Lord
A. Lennox, Lord B. Cecil, Lord G. Manners, Sir W.
M. Stanley, Sir W. W. Wynn, Sir V. Cotton, Sir J.
Hawley, Hon. J. Macdonald, 'Hon. S. Littleton, Hon.
G. Fitzroy, Hon. H. Pitt, Hon. H. Forester, Hon. F.
Villiers, Hon. Francis Villiers, Hon. E. Mostyn, Messrs.
Greville, Synge, J. Stanley, Jacques, Balfour, Drum-
mond, Lowther, Meiklam, Oliver, Bastard, Newton,
Batson, Pettat, P. Williams, Brand, Crawford, Shelley.
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'clook
before the last race was over; it may be questioned if
the convenience of all parties would not be consulted by
an earlier commencement.

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 dosed, 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,
Akbar leading, and, in the end, winning by a length, the

went on with a lead of two or three lengths to the distance ;
Brother to Valentissimo, and Joy then closed with him, and
St. Demetri joining them at the Stand, the four made a
splendid race home, Brother to Valentissimo winning

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 diminut►on 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,
had it all his own way, and was first home by two good
lengths, Corranna beating Khondooz byhalf a length, the Peri
colt a bad fourth, and nothidg else up.
