ASCOT HEATH RACES, THUNDir.
Yesterday was grand or Cup day, and we are happy to
state there was no appearance of the falling-off noticeable
on the " grand" day a Epsom. he arrivals at Windsor
and other places in the neighbourhood on Wednesday night
were very numerous, and abundant evidence was afforded
_ _

of the influx of fashionables to be expected on the fol!ow-
ing morning. At an tally hour yesterday morning the
bustle on the read between London and Ascot was little,

if at all, short of what we have witnessed on former Cup
days ; there was the usual variety of vehicles, from the
patrician four-in-hand to the unpresuming taxed cart ;
the horsemen were numerous and of an equal infinity of
genus, nor were clouds of dust wanting to complete the
pictorial effect of the scene on the road. Bedfont, Egham,
and Staines were crowded by eleven o'clock, at which
time the different aveaues leading to the Race Ground
through Englefield Green, Virginia Water, and Shrub's.
bill (which latter we especially recommend to those who
wish to avoid dust and confusion), were almost impas.
sable. At the junction of the roads on the Heath the
squabbles and stoppages were innumerable, the difficulties
being greatly increased by the clouds of dust flying in all
directions. Several accidents occurred in the melee, for.
tunately not of a serious nature. At the hour appointed
for the commencement of the running the assemblage on
the Heath was immense; every stand was full, the
Course was lined with carriages mix or eight deep, and
the promenade completely choked up. The appearance
of the Heath at this time was exceedingly brilliant, and
was not a little brightened by the delightful state of the
weather. In such a throng the pickpockets reaped a
plentiful harvest, for to detect or capture them was out of
the question ; they were in great force.
A few minutes after one o'clock the Royal cavalcade
made its appearance at the commencement of the New
Mile. It consisted of eight carriages and four, a pony
phaeton and four, and two pony curricles, and was pre-
ceded by the usual number of outriders and yeoman
prickers. The reception given their Majesties was in the
highest degree enthusiastic, and strongly contrasted with
the merely loyal feeling evinced on Tuesday. In the car-
riage with the King and Queen were the Duchess of
Richmond and Lady Brownlow. The remainder of the
suite consisted of—

The Duke of Richmond, the Duke of Dorset, the Earl
and Countess of Errol, Lord Albemarle, Lord and Lady
F. Fitzclarence, Lord Brownlovt, Sir C. Thornton, Sir
Andrew Barnard, Sir P. and Lady Sidney, Sir J. Wyatt.
yille, Sir Herbert Taylor, Sir F. Watson, Miss Boyle, Miss
Wilson, Colonel and Lady Clitheroe.
Beneath the Royal Stand a military band was stationed
to play between the races. Besides the Royal Party the
following, amongst manyother fashionables, were present—

The Duke of Portland, the Duke of Rutland, the Duke
of Grafton, the Marquess and Marchioness of Londonderry,
the Marquess and Marchioness of Worcester, the Marquess
and Marchioness of Tavistock, the Marquess and Marchi-
nes of Exeter, Marquess Graham, Count Matuszevic, Count
d'Orsay, the Earl and Countess of Chesterfield, the Earl and
Countess of Wilton, the Earl of Verulam, the Earl of Jersey,
the Earl of Mountcharles, the Marquess of Clauricarde, the

Lord T. Cecil, Lord G. Bentinck, Lord Gardiner, Lord

bons, Sir M. Wood, Sir S. Graham, Sir J. Fraser, Sir

Lord Uxbridge, Hon. E. Petre, Hon. Gen. Grosvenor,

Hon. S. Wortley, Hon. Captain Roue, Colonel Russell,
Colonel Challoner, Colonel Anson, Colonel Udny, Colonel
Cosby, Colonel Wood, Colonel and Lady Alice Peel, Hon.

Payne, Mr. Rush, Mr. Batson, Mr. Greville, Mr. Wad-
dingson, Mr. Irby, Mr. Stonehewer, Mr. Worrell, Mr.
A. Hunter, and Mr. Baring.
The above is but a short list of those wbo were in at-
tendance; the crowded state of the course must be an ex-
cuse for any omissions.
Their Majesties left the Course after the last race, at
seven o'clock, amidst loud and repeated acclamations.
We have hitherto omitted to state that in consequence
of the King having thrown a sovereign to a poor woman
beneath the window, and a squabble taking place amongst
the rabble, in an attempt to deprive her of it, a report
spread that his Majesty had been throwing money indis-
criminately amongst the spectators. It was simply an act
of charity on the part of his Majesty.
The weather was fair till after the Eclipse foot race,
when it commenced raining, and continued for two or
three hours. The races, which did not terminate till seven
o'clock, came off as follows:
Match, 50, h. ft. Once round.
Col. Cosby's Hindoo, 6 yrs 0
Mr. Watson's Conscript, 4 yrs 0
The betting was heavy, varied repeatedly, and left off at
6t05 on Conscript. Hindoo made play till near the dis-
tance, where Conscript challenged ; a punishing race home
ended in a dead heat. Hindoo ridden by Robinson, and
Conscript by Pavia.
Sweepstakes of 100 soya. each, h. ft. for three-year-old
fillies. Sat. 41b. New mile. (Nine subs.)

made running at a strong pace till a few strides from home,
when all were beaten except Corset, who went up to the
leading mare, tackled her in a spirited manner, and won
rather cleverly by half a length, ridden by T. Robinson,
Banquet by James Robinson, Antiope by F. Boyce, Fila-
gree by Robinson, and Lord Exeter's by Conelly. The
stakes are withheld, on a complaint that the entry of
Corset as " out of Sister to Sultan" is not sufficiently deli-
nite, there having been two sisters to Suites.
