The sport at Royal Windsor to-day was honoured with
the presence of tho Prince of Wales, who was accompanied
by Prince Teck and Major Teesdale, the Royal party having
gone down by the special train from Paddington, at half-
past 11. To-day presented no falling off in the annual
aristocratic gathering within sight of Windsor Castle, but
if anything it was more numerous and better attended than
on any previous occasion. The weather was beautifully
fine until the last race was being run, when rain com-
menced to fall, and the course was soon deserted. Tho
going was exceedingly heavy, nevertheless the sport was
enjoyable. A full return is appended :
