SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

ASCOT RACES.—THE CUP DAY.
The Cup day at Ascot was attended with a suc-
cess which perhaps exceeded expectation. The com-
pany was more numerous, the racing more
interesting, and the crushing and crowding in the
Grand Stand enclosure more uncomfortable than
ever. The day was gloriously, fine, and erratic
husbands who had not taken their wives to Epsom
found no excuse in the weather not to fulfil their
promise to accompany them to Ascot. Windsor
was, perhaps, less lively than usual, and, as a natural
consequence, the Hymen were less extortionate in
their demands. The Great Western , Railway
afforded ample facilities for the residents of the
West-end of London to make the trip to Ascot,
and their arrangements were most satisfactory.
The London and South-Western Company,
hoWever, had the bulk of the traffic, and nothing
could exceed the regularity with which train
after train was despatched. Ladies took their
seats with as much ease as they would at the Opera
and their dresses were no more crumpled by the
crowd than they would have been on a fete day at
the Crystal Palace. From 10 o'clock until noon the
platform at the Waterloo station was thronged with
people, the many-hued dresses of the ladies glisten-
ing like a tulip bed of different shapes and dyes.
Mr. Scott (the manager) and Mr. Young personally
superintended the general arrangements, which
were carried out with an efficiency which could
only be obtained by a long experience in, " excur-
sion-train traffic."
The course was never more thronged, and the
Grand Stand enclosure, despite its enlargement, was
so crowded that it was with difficulty and no small
dexterity that one was enabled to elbow his way
front one end of it to the other. Disconsolate ladies
had no resting-place, they could neither see nor be
seen, for they were completly hidden In the mass of
people who swarmed in every direction. The raised
seats, the balcony, and every " coign of vantage,"
were occupied long before the time appointed for
the commencement of the proceedings, and the
scene presented by the enclosure was picturesque
beyond description. The first race was originally,
appointed to take place at 1 o'clock, but a misunder-
standing (which was no fault of the printer of the
cards) set it for half-past 1. It was not, however,
until nearly 10 minutes beyond that time that the
Royal procession was seen slowly to rise above the
New Mile Hill. It made its approach preceded by
Lord Sandwich, as Master of the Buckhounds, and
the Queen's Huntsmen, and it differed in no essen-
tial particular from that which we have frequently,

visit and so hasty.. a departure, for the Queen
quitted the course immediately after the decision
of the race for the New Stakes. For an account
of the noble personages who accompanied her Ma-
jesty we must refer our readers to the Court Circu-
lar. The early morning was warm and sunny, but,
greatly to the alarm of the ladies the sky became
overcast by dull dark clouds, and rain seemed im-
pending. The afternoon, however, proved most pro-
pitious, and, except from the crowds in the enclo-
sure, no drawback from a full enjoyment of the
sport was presented. . . ,
The horses for the Vinton, Plate were saddled
