to 1 each agst East Sheen and Baron Munchausen, 100 to 3
each agst Fravola and Cheesecake. .
On taking their preliminary canter, Scrubbing Brush
knocked down a woman with an infant in her arms, but for-
tunately no injury was inflicted. She caused further trouble;
for, on getting nearly to the starting post, Challoner dis-
covered that his saddle was broken, and he was compelled
to return to the weighing stand to change it. Admiral Rous
accompanied the starter to the post, and undertook the re-
sponsibility of getting so large a field off. His starting,
however, was not quite as successful as his handicapping,
and when he gave the signal the horses were not in line.
The race admits of very little description, for Buccaneer was
in front when the flag fell, and he went away with a clear
lead, running on the stand side of the course. His nearest
pursuers, on coming down the hill, were Suburban, Horace,
Voltella, Nutbush, Lava, Baron Munchausen, Pretendant,
and Cheesecake. The lot closed up on crossing the road, but
Buccaneer quitted them without difficulty, and ran home an
easy winner by a length and a half. The others were all
pulling up on passing the post, Pretendant on sufferance,
beating Baron Munchausen by a length; Lava being a head
only behind Lord Chesterfield's colt; the others were also
stepped, Cheesecake leading the ruck; the rear lot consisted
of Bumble Bee, Amsterdam, Wing, Gibraltar, and Chere
Arnie.
A Plato of 50 sovs, for two-yr-olds'; colts, Bst 71b; fillies,
Bst 51b. ; the winner to be sold for 100 sovs. Half a
mile.

Commander, Miss Coutts, and Perambulator.
Betting-3 to 1 agst Incitatus, 4to 1 each agst Dux,
Bonnibelle, and Gazelle.
They got off in a line, and soon ate; starting Dux took
a slight lead, which she held to the end, and won by a
length and a half; the second beating the thirk'd by three-
quarters of a length; a head only separating the second
and third. Gazelle was fourth, Miss. Coutts fifth, Ter-
ambulator sixth, Commander seventh, and Bonnibelle
last, beaten off.
The Visitors' Plate (Handicap) of 100 soya, and 25 for the

The following also ran :—Schism, Kinnersley, Predictor,
The Monk, South Australian, Lucknow, Dartmoor, Can-
tab, and Pergus.
Betting-6 to 4 agst Royal Sovereign, sto 1 agst Schism,
6 to 1 agst Predictor, 8 to 1 agst Kinnersley.
After several false starts the flag was dropped, and Royal
Sovereign jumped oft with the lead, but Cantab overpower-
ing his rider rushed to the fore before going 50 yards, and
his jockey had much difficulty in restraining him. He was
however steadied on approaching the top turn, and Kin-
nersley took up the running with Pergus, Royal Sovereign,
and Sycophant close up. On entering the Swinley course
Cantab again proved too much for little Adams and took up
the running, Predictor going next, and these two placed a
clear interval between themselves and the nick, which was
headed by Pergus. On nearing the Brick-kiln turn Pre-
dictor and Sycophant soon joined Cantab, who shortly
afterwards retired from the front, leaving Predictor with
the lead, with Sycophant second, and the favourite and
Schism next. Soon after they were joined by Niger.
Atter entering the straight Royal Sovereign ran through
his horses, and won in a canter by three lengths ; same be-
tween second and third; Cantab a bad fourth; and Pergus
and Predictor next. The other walked in.
The Fernhill Stakes of 15 soya each, 5 ft, with 100 added;
2-yr-olds, 7st 21b ; three, Oat , fillies and geldings allowed
31b. About half a mile. 15 subs.

and Touch-me-Not.
Betting-2 to 1 agst Marignan, 3to 1 agst Little Lady,
7 to 2 agst Express, 6 to 1 agst Brown Duchess.
After three or four false starts the flag was dropped, and
Little Lady was left at the post. Touch-me-Not made the
running, but after crossing the road resigned the lead to
Marignan, who was then joined by Brown Duchess, Bali-
verne taking third place. The three ran a slashing race
home, Marignan winning by a head, Brown Duchess, who
ran with great gameness, having only the same advantage
over Baliverne ; Touch-me-Not was a bad fourth, Express
fifth, and Nemesis next. Little Lady cantered in a long
way in the rear.
The Coronation Stakes of 100 sovs each, h ft, for three-yr-
old fillies, Bst 71b each ; winners extra ; maidens allowed

Sweet Hawthorn and Preceptress als9 ran.

Betting—Even on Queen of the Vale, 7 to 2 agst Pre-
ceptress, 6 to 1 krst Juno.
Preceptress indulged in several vagaries before going to
the post. First she sent Fordham from the saddle, and he
was no sooner mounted again than she bolted towards Ben
Land's house and took him across country; when brought
back she again overpowered him and ran to the Brick-
kilns before she stopped. At the post she was very restless
and refused to go near her horses, and when the flag
dropped she was slightly in the rear. Juno and Queen of
the Vale ran in front nearly abreast to the Brick-kilns,
where Queen of the Vale took a clear lead, was never after-
wards headed, and won in a canter by two lengths; the
third was three lengths off. Preceptress, who drew into the
second place on rounding the last turn, died away before
reaching the distance and was beaten off.
The Third Ascot Biennial Stakes of 10 sous each, with 100
added, for 3-yr-olds ; colts, Bst 71b ; fillies, Bst 31b ; the
second to receive 25 sous out of the stakes. One mile.

Mr. Brown's British Prince, Bst 71b (L. Snowden) 4
Betting-4 to lon Diophantus.

British Prince got away with a slight lead, followed by
Janus, Diophantus, and Lupus. At the Brick-kilns the
favourite went to the fore and carried on the running to the
turn into the straight, where Lupus went to the fore, and
Janus soon took second place, Diophantus being beaten
beforo they got to the distance. Opposite the Grand Stand
Janus made an effort to get up to Lupus, but failed, the
last named winning by a neck, Diophantus finishing a bad
third.

3-yr-olds, 7st 121 b ; four and upwards, Bst 91b ; fillies
