SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

THE ASCOT MEETING.
The " glories" of A scot were certainly much diminished
by the inclement weather. The alternations of rain and
sunshine were frequent, but the plurial visitation certainly
damped the ardour of the visitors. Although the attend-
ance was perhaps an average one, yet the spectators seemed
to regard the sport with almost indifference ; still the racing
was perhaps more abundant and more interesting than has
been known at Ascot for years. The arrangementm for
Thursday in every compartment are complete, and only fine
weather is required to render the present gathering the
most successful ever held on the far-famed heath. The
sport to-day was of an unusually interesting description, but
speculation on the Stakes and any race to come was very
dull.

On assemb!ing at the post the Concertina gelding, as
usual, showed temper, and twice sent Norman from the
saddle. When the flag was dropped he did not seem in the
humour to go, and was left behind. Cock •a-Hoop took up
the running after the horses had settled into their stride,
and attended by the others in a body, carried it on to the

at Rupee's quarters; the othar two running side by side
about six lengths off. These positions were held until they
had entered the Swinley course, when Rupee separated
herself from Magnum, but soon afterwards bolted, and left
Avalanche with the lead; Magnum and Horror lying close
up; the three ran home together, Horror getting the best
of it at the distance, and winning cleverly by half a length;

breaking away of Speculation, Zaretan, and one or two
others, the flag was dropped. They ramin a line, General
Hesse having a slight lead, with Prelude, Predictor, Baron
Munchausen, and Speculation lying next in attendance.

the lead, Precursor dropping hopelessly behind. At the
last turn Mouravieff came on and Clydesdale joined him
with the Farmer's Daughter colt in attendance. Moura-
vieff, however, ran home a clever winner by a head ; a length
between the second and third. Flitch was fourth, about
