ISCOT HEATH RACES.
Ascot Heath, Friday.
The meeting was brought to a close yesterday after
four days' sport, the abundance of which must have
satisfied the most greedy. Beyond this nothing can
be said in its praise, for it has seldom happened that
so great a number of races have been run without pro-
ducing even the semblance of a struggle, or on which
so little excitement has been observed amongst sport-
ing men; the horses came together badly, and the fa-
vourites won all the principal stakes. In the manage-
ment of the races one fault only presents itself to us,
and that is a serious one to those who have been ac-
customed to the clockwork regularity enforced by the
Newmarket rules : we allude to the want of punctua-
lity in running, the last race on Tuesday being one
hour and a half, and the last race on Thursday more
than two hours after the time appointed for it. Many
inconveniences arise from this inattention, and we
have no doubt that it will be avoided next year.
The Heath was but thinly attended yesterday,
either by fashionables or general company, most of
whom, what with the crowd on the Heath, and the
rain on quitting it, must have had a sickener.
The following is a list of the company present :
The Duke of Cleveland, the Duke of Grafton, Marquis
and Marchioness of Exeter, the Marquis of Worces-
ter, Marquis Conyngham, the Marquis and Marchioness
of Tavistock, Count Matuszevic, Earl of Chesterfield, Earl

in saving the race.
