SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

ASCOT HEATH RACES, FRIDAY.
The unfavourable state of the weather, combined with
the inferiority of the racing which generally takes place on
the last day of the meeting, had the effect of almost com-
pletely clearing the course. Their Majesties did not
honour the sport with their presence, and every thing
wore a dull and gloomy appearance. About half a dozen
veteran betting men were assembled in the betting-stand,
and appeared to have it all to themselves. The other
stands and booths were quite empty, and even the hazard
and rouge et noir table proprietors, together with the
thimble riggery and other predatory hordes, seemed to be
totally deserted by their usual votaries. In a word, we
never, on any occasion, saw the race-course so empty. The
only visitants were a few people from Windsor and the im-
mediate neighbourhood, and those connected with the
racing. With the exception of Lord Lichfield's barouche
and four, there was not a single equipage upon the course
that approached to any thing like elegance or style. The
running was on a par with the company, " neglected,
melancholy slow." At a comparatively early hour the
sports ceased, and long before the c10.,e of the day a per-
fect desolation succeeded, to what was but yesterday a
throng of gayety and pleasure.
The meeting terminated yesterday, and it would be dif-
ficult to imagine a less interesting finale; the sport was
wretched, the company thin, and the weather for the
greater part of the day unfavourable. The Royal stand
was occupied only by two •r three members of the Court,
and most of the other stands were empty.
The following short account of the running will he
found correct:—

The three first were, in front ail the way, and made a
tolerably good race, Gondolier winning by a length.
Rode by Robinson. The betting was heavy.
It would be unjust to close our notice of this meeting,
without stating, that the general arrangements of the
week were admirable. In every thing connected with
his department, the mild and gentlemanly demeanour of
Lend Lichfield were conspicuous, and forcibly contrasted
with the brusque arbitrary manner of some other stewards.
The course was in excellent keeping, and gave ample tes-
timony of the great pains bestowed on it by Mr. Jenner,
who had difficulties of no common order to surmount. To
conclude, the meeting more than realized all that could
have been expected of it, and would have been almost
faultless, if the time of starting had been more strictly en-
forced.
