SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
ASCOT HEATH RACES.—FRIDAY.
A " whip " for a second-class Wokingham having
succeeded, the card exhibited the average Lumber of
races, lacking, however, the one event that for the
last four or five years has been its chief attraction,
and which, it is to be hoped, will bo restored next
year. The miserably small amount of traffic on this
occasion will, we doubt not, convince the directors of the
South-Western lino of the policy of agreeing to the pro-
posal
from the Great Western Company, referred to on
Monday.
The weather yesterday was fine, but the company
limited to the parties stay ing in the neighbourhood for
the week. We noticed the Marquis of Downshire, the
Marquis of Drogheda, Marquis of Exeter, Earl of
Euston, Earl and Countess of Eglinton, Earl of Dur-
ham, Earl and Countess of Chesterfield, Earl and Coun-
tess of Strathmore, Earl of Airlie, Earl of Besborougb,
Lord de Lisle, Lord G. Paget, Lord Clifelen, Lord En-
field, Lord and Lady Newport, Lord Maidstone, Lord
Bateman, Lord Dunkellen, Lord G. Manners, Sir
Robert and Lady Pigot, Sir W. Codrington, Sir T.
Burke, Sir 11. Peyton, Honourable Colonel and Mrs.
Anson, Honourable Major Pitt, Honourable Major
Needham, Hon. Captain Rous, Hon. J. Macdonald, Hon.
Cecil Forrester, Hon. H. Forrester, Colonel Newton,
Colonel Peel, Mr. Payne, Mr. Shelley, Mr. G. Fitzroy,
Mr. J. Stanley, Mr. Newton, Mr. Jacques, Mr. Drinkald,
Mr. Oliver, &c.
The races, which commenced at half-past twelve, came
off as follows:

Betting—Even on Tone, 4 to I agst Cane, 5 to 1 agst
Sir Rowland Trenchard, 7 to 1 agst Lady Sale filly, and
10 to 1 agst Remunerator. The race was entirely be-
tween Sir Rowland Trenchard and Cane, the former
leading all the way, and winning by a length, but having
crossed Cane's track, was objected to on returning to
scale, and the cross, which was evidently unintentional,
havin been clerly proved to have interfered with Cane's
chance of winniang, the stakes were awarded to Lord
Exeter. Run in 1 min. 27 sec.

The grounds contain a large amount of sculpture: the
fountain indicated on the left side of our view includes
a female figure of elegant design. Near this aro four
figures of boys in marble, personifying the sea-
sons; two garden seats near the conservatory show
sculptured heads of some of the early kings, and at the
entrance to a fine avenue of trees on one side of
the grounds are sculptured hunting groups of very con-
siderable merit, all the work of Mr. Thomas.
The conservatory is mainly of iron, with a roof on the
ridge and furrow principle, and is floored with coloured
cements and tiles. The stable buildings include a clock_
tower, and the furnace chimney in the gardens is topped
with iron, and made to accord in character with the
house. At a small distance from this there is a small
chapel, with which, probably, an architect has had little
to do.
There was a divine who used to say, when preaching
to the youths of his congrestion, " bewarendof
cboe)pinigr
golden apprentices, silver journeymerit
masters ; and with a like motive it may nota be useless
to mention that Mr. Peto, now only forty-two years
of age, left school at the early age of four-
teen;_r-
Hi
and being apprenticed to his uncle,
Henry Peto, the builder, worked three years at
for the
bench, used the trowel a year, and passed
_
the remaining three years of his__ apprenticeship at the
mason's banker. n he was little more than twenty-
one, his uncle died,W
andhe left his business and his capital
jointly to him and to M_
Mr. Thomas Grissell, also a
nephew. Their first work was llungerford-market,
their second the new Houses of Parliament,—afterwards
placed wholly in the hands of Mr. Grissell. They built
the Reform Club-house, the Oxford and Cambridge
Club-house, the Model Prison at Clerkenwell, and many
other large structures: the St. James's Theatre was
completed by them in thirteen weeks. They also en-
tered very largely into railway works, and to these,
after the dissolution of the partnership, Mr. Peto con-
fined his attention: we may mention more especially the
Eastern Counties line, the line from Ashford to Folke-
stone, the Southampton and Dorchester, the Oxford and
Birmingham, and in conjunction with Messrs. Betts, the
whole of the Great Northern lino north of Peterbo-
rough. When we say that there were employed on his
works at one time ten first-class locomotive engines,
2,300 waggons, 91G horses, and 14,800 men, some idea
may be gained of their great extent, and of the energy
and power required to keep all well in hand. There
are many excellent traits recorded of Mr. Pete, but for
none does he deserve more honour than for his continued
and enlightened efforts to raise the character of the large
bodies of men engaged under him.
Mr. Pete has earned for himself a great
reputation
for enlarged views and liberality, and has shown bow
much we may advance our own interests by attending
to the interests of others.

BLACKFRIARS.BRIDGE.--The works to secure the
defective arches of Blackfriars-bridge are completed, without
any hindrance to the navigation. Yesterday the centre arch,
which has been stopped for nearly four months, was re-
opened. The plan adopted is the formation of an inner arch
composed of massive timbers, over which is spread a ceiling
of zinc, to prevent the gear of sailing vessels or the funnels of
steamers catching between the timbers.
The wheat crops in the neighbourhood of Stamford
are full of promise,
, and as we have at length ben favoured
with refreshing rains, there is reasonable hope for a bounti-
ful harvest. Spring corn does not present such a good ap-
pearance, the long period of dry weather having exhausted
nearly all the moisture from the soil • but it is not past re-
covery, and a few days will now probably see it in vi

MAN ...
SLAUGHTER ON ASCOT RACE.COURSE.--All
event, attended with loss of life, occurred on Ascot race-
course, between four and live o'clock on Wednesday after-
noon, the facts of which are as follows:—It appeared that
two persons of low character—one named Isaac Jacobs, a
Jew, and a general dealer, and the other named William
Hunt, a dyer, who refused to give his address—were on the
race-course, and there is good reason to believe that con-
jointly they had succeeded in obtaining a purse, containing
a large sum of money, on the course, and that some dispute
arose between them about sharing it. The Jew refused to
give up any of the money, when Munt, with a foul expres-
sion, exclaimed "I'll knock it out of you," and immediately
struck him several blows, the last being dealt on the side of
the head, from the effects of which the man instantly died.
Hunt then ran across the heath, followed by Inspector Field
and a constable on the spot, who pursued him fornearl3ra
mile. A labouring man attempted to stop him, when he
was crossing the heath, but the man was immediately
knocked down, but he jumped up, and in turn prostrated
Hunt into a ditch, when he was taken into
