SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
ASCOT HEATH RACES.—THURSDAY.
The catalogue raisonnee for the grand day, if it fell
shoat by comparison with Tuesday, was in itself satis-
factory as to quantity. Wo eannot say much, however,
for the character of the sport ; the early disappearance
of the two cracks of their respective years—The Flying
Dutchman and Voltigeur—and the scratching of Nut-
shell on Saturday last, having left the grand prize to
the competition of second-class animals, and sadly de-
tracted from its interest, both as a betting race, and as a
source of attraction to the public, manifest in the little
notice taken of it at Tattersall's, and still more obvi-
ously, in the inferiority of the attendance, compared with
former Cup days. The list fortunately had a strong
feature in the New Stakes, always a sporting race, and
on this occasion rendered more than usually interesting
by the advent of two of the leading favourites for next
year's Derby, viz , Lord J. Scott's Brother to Elthiron
(also brother to Miserrima and Windhound), on whom
large sums have recently been invested, at 20 and 25 to 1,
and Colonel Peel's colt, out of Queen Anne.
The Visitors' and other plates filled well, so that, as
we have before stated, there was no lack of amusement.
To the " shortcomings" wo have referred to, must be
added the rival and cheaper attraction in Hyde-park,
and the doubtful state of th© weather in the merning,
each serving to prevent so great a crowd as we have
been accustomed to meet on Thursday.
Notwithstanding these draw tacks, the gathering was
enormous, and long before the commencement of the
races, the appearance of the various stands would have
suggested anything but a falling off, to those who have
not been habitual attendants at these meetings. The first
race was set as on Tuesday, half-past one; but it was not
until within a few minutes of that time that the illustrious
party from Windsor Castle arrived on the course. The
procession consisted of six carriages and four, and four
pony phaetons. In the first carriage were her Majesty,
the Duchess of Saxo Coburg Gotha, and the two Prin-
cesses. In the second, with Prince Albert, were the
Duke of Saxe Coburg Gotha, the Duke of Wurtember,.e,
and Prince Edward of Saxe-Weimar. The visitors and
suite consisted of the Prince of Leiningen, the Dukes of
Wellington, Norfolk, and Rutland; the Duchess of Su-
therland, the Marquis of Abercorn, the Earl and
Countess of Eglintun, Earl and Countess Jersey and
Lady Clementine Villiers, the Earl and Countess of
Grenville, Earl and Countess Grey, Earl and Countess
of Yarborough, Lord Seymour, Lady C. Gower, Lady
Alice Lambton, the Hoa. Miss St. Maur, Lord Dufferin,
General Wennss, Colonel Botorerie, the lion. Miss
Seymour, Sir F. Stovin, lee.
Her Majesty was received enthusiastically, and her
appearance at the window of the royal stand, with the
royal children, was greeted with prolonged cheers. The
course was cleared immediately utter, and at two o'clock,
the first event of the day, the Visitors' Plate, came off.
With reference to the Emperor's Plate, which was
next in the order of running; we should state that the
hotting, owing to the uncertainty that prevailed as to
the 'intentions of the Ruisborough party, was, for a
considerable time at a stand still. It was known that
Leird7Eglinton had been in treaty for him on Wednes-
day evening, but it was not known that his Lordship's
offer had been declined; in fact, the public were kept
completely in the dark until a few minutes past one
o'clock, when it was officially announced that the home
would not run 1 As a matter of course, those who were
"on" exclaimed loudly against Mr. Mangan, giving vent
to their anger in terms too strong to be mentioned.
Little need bo said of the race. Woolwich, the pro-
perty of two or three parties connected with the
"ring," waited on the favourite until within the dis-
tance, and won in a very clever style by a
length. Of the succeeding events, it is only
necessary to refer to the one to which we have already
alluded, viz., the New Stakes. For this twelve
came to the poet; Brother to Elthiron, on whom
odds were laid at starting, winning cleverly by a length.
To this followed the 70/, Plate, immediately after which
the Queen took her departure, amidst demonstrations of
respect and attachment creditable to the " lieges," and
evidently gratifying to her Majesty. The weather, ge-
nerally fine on the occasion of royal visits, took an unfa-
vourable turn immediately after the Cup race, and until
after the last event was decided was wretched; the rain
never ceased, the course became a forest of umbrellas,
sad the formation of a regular betting ring was out of
the question; in fact, from the time the Queen left, sauce
qui pent became the order of the day; to obtain a list of
the faehionables, under such circumstances, was out of
the question; but we may venture to say that, if the at-
tendance showed a falling off in numbers, it was in other
respects scarcely inferior to former " Cup days." The
business details of the day were got through satisfac-
torily; and we must do Mr. Hibbard, jun., the justice to
add, that he proved himself a very competent starter.
The races, which were brought to a close shortly after
five o'clock, resulted as follows:
The Visitors' Plate of 100 soviet and 25 for the second
(handicap) by subs. of 5 sovs. each. Once round and
a distance.

Ballet Girl, and sto 1 egst Artisan. Landseer took the
lead at starting, and, followed alternately by the Ballet
Girl, Artisan, and the Corranna colt, made play until
near the road over the Old Mile, where the race was left
to Ballet Girl, Artisan, Landseer and Ninus, the latter,
who had hitherto been lying away from his horses, now
being fourth, with the race in hand. About half way up
the distance Ninus went in front and won in a canter, by
two lengths, a similar interval dividing the Artisan and
the Ballet Girl; Landseer a bad fourth. Run in 3 min.
54 sees.
A piece of Plate, value 500 sovs., the gift of the Emperor
of Russia, added to a Sweepstakes of 20 tors. each;

agst Woolwich, 5 to 2 agst Trotancor, and 12 to 1 agst
Wiudisebgratz. Little Jack went off with a clear lead,
followed by Woolwich, Trouocer well up with the latter,
and Windischgratz, who had nothing to do with the race,
last. There was not the slightest change in this order
until they were inside the distance, Woolwich there
joining Little Jack, heading him opposite the stand, and
winning cleverly by a length—the same between Little
Jack and Trouncer. Run in 5 min. 50 sees.

thorn went to the front at starting, and with close at-
tendants on the two favourites and Grey Tommy, made
strong play to the distance; the favourite then took the
lead, requiring a little shaking, however, to get him
away from his horses, and won rather cleverly by a
length; Grey Tommy beating Colonel Peel's horse by
halt a length; 13enita and Buckthorn were next. Run
in 1 min. 18 secs.
