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 flymen 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
from 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,
described. The reception of the Queen was most en-
thusiastic. Cheers were raised along the entire
length of the course, and in the Grand Stand every
head was bared to do her homage. The scene was at
this point most extraordinary. Every head was un-
covered until her Majesty approached, and then
thousands of hats were waved right loyally in the
air. These demonstrations of delight were renewed
every time the Queen appeared at the window of the
Royal Stand, and the people were permitted to cross
the course and the only feeling of regret experienced
was that the Sovereign should make so tardy a
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 p'rsonages 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 Visitors' Plate were saddled
for nearly half an hour before the arrival of the
Queen; but no sooner had the Royal party taken
their seats than the proceedings commenced in
earnest. The opening event excited little attention,
but the succeeding race, the Grand Stand Plate,
was regarded with much curiosity. It ended in a
dead heat, and there was an additional item of at-
traction imparted to the programme. The running
of Tournament for this event was sufficiently in-
glorious to cause a reaction against North Lincoln

powers that
has been completely settled by his performance for

the Cup. At a mile he may be good,. at a longer
distance useless. The New Stakes sustained the
reputation of Ascot for producing the most interest-
ing two-yr-old races in the kingdom. It brought
out 20 starters, and it resulted in the defeat of the
favourite Thormanby by Rupee, who ran second to
Thormanby on Tuesday, but who met him to-day
on 51b. better terms, the 51b. just turning the
balance in her favour. After the Queen had taken
her .departure the company gradually dispersed,
and'no one except the regular racing men devoted
much attention to those events which followed the
New Stakes. We commenced the task of compiling
a list of fashionable visitors, but so numerous were
they and so great was the crowd that we abandoned
our intention, because it would be impossible to col-
lect the names of every distinguished person present.
The manner in which the police discharged their
duty elicited general praise. The course was kept
in admirable order, a circumstance attributable as
much to the forbearance and temper of the police
as to the good conduct of the people. The A divi-
sion was as usual employed, and it was under the
direction of ' Superintendent Walker, assisted by
Inspectors Bray, Grant, Bradstock, Jackson,Webb,
Butt, and Eccles. The detective department was
under In specter Thorn don. The Chief Commiasioner,
Sir R. Mayne, and Capt. Harris were also in at-
tendance, to see that the arrangements were pro-
perly carried out. Subjoined is a detailed account
of the races :
The Visitorte Plate of 100 soya and 25 for the second horse
(Handicap), by subscription of 5 sovs each. Once round
and a distance. 19 subs.

' Betting-2 to 1 agst Odd Trick, sto 1 agst Caucasian,
7to 1 each agst Kinnersley an Commodore, Bto 1 agst
Concertina colt, 10 to 1 agst Ascot.
After one failure the signal was given. Gunilda over-
powered her jockey, and was soon upwards of 20 lengths
a-head ; Dove and Commodore being side by side next.
They ran with little alteration in these positions until
reaching the Swinley Course, when Gunilda began to stop
to her followers, and after passing the Brickkiln turn she
resigned the lead to Commodore, who carried on the run-
ning into the straight, followed by Kinnersley and
Odd Trick. At the distance Commodore was beaten, and
Kinnersley was left with the lead, which he held to the end,
winning by six lengths. Odd Trick was pulled up, and
secured the second money by half a length only. Nothing
near the first three.
The Royal Stand Plate of 200 sovs, added to a Sweepstakes
of 10 sovs each, for 3-yr-olds and upwards. Allowances
' and penalties. Start at the distance post, and go once
round. 16 subs.

(L. Snowden)tl
Mr. Simpson's Fright, 5 yrs, 9st 51b.... (T. Sheerwood)t2

Zuyder Zee and Starke also ran.
Betting--4 to 4 agst Wild Rose, 9to 4 agst Tournament,
3 to 1 agst Zuyder Zee, 10 to 1 agst Fright.
Fright was first off, but on rounding the Swinley turn
Tournament, who had been lying second, rushed to the
front, and was soon several lengths ahead, and Wild Rose
joined Fright, of whom she had a slight advantage, Zuyder
Zee going on third. Fright and Wild Rose were alternately
second and third as they descended the hill towards the Old
Mile starting post. They ran with little material alteration
to the Brick-kiln turn, where Fright went up to Tourna-
ment, and after racing with him a short distance he took
the lead, Wild Rose showing well up in his wake, with
Zuyder Zee at her quarters. These three ran in close com-
pany to the Grand Stand, where Wild Rose, next the rails
on the inside, took second place ; Fright, however, appeared
to have the race within his grasp, but Wild Rose caught
him on the post, and made a dead heat of it ; Tournament
was beaten three lengths, and Zuyder Zee was close up
with him ; Starke walked in.
Deciding Heat-5 to 4on Wild Rose, who waited upon
Fright to the distance, when she went ahead and won by
three lengths.
The Gold Cup, by subscription of 20 soya each, with 200
added. The owner of the second to receive 50 soya out
of the stakes. For 3-yr-olds and upwards. About two
miles and a half. 25 subs.

Lincoln, and Defender.
Betting-7 to 4 agst Fisherman, 7to 2 agst North Lin-
coln, 6 to 1 agat Beacon, 8 to 1 each agst Saunterer and
Bevis.
The horses had proceeded to the starting post before the
Royal party had reassembled in the saloon of the stand after
luncheon. Mr. Hibburd, therefore, brought them back, in
order that they might make the usual promenade round the
enclosure of the Queen's Stand. This preliminary businesse
over they returned to the starting post with all convenient
haste. They were soon sent on their journey, Nimrod
running in the centre of the course, taking the lead, with
Saunterer by himself on the outside second, and Bevis in
the track of his stable companion third ; North Lincoln and
Defender being next, with Fisherman last. As they made
for the Swinley turn Nimrod was nearly 20 lengths ahead,
but on rounding it Saunterer, who had been pulling double,
took his place at Nimrod's quarters, Bevis being third, up-
wards of six lengths behind the leading pair, North Lin-
coln, Beacon, and Defender' following him in the order
named, Fisherman still biding his time in the rear. In
this order they disappeared behind the hill, but on coming
into sight Nimrod and Saunterer were close together, and
at a clear interval behind them were North Lincoln,
Bevis, and Beacon side by side. At the Old Mile
post Saunterer pulled to the front, and Beacon and
North Lincoln went on second and third ; Nimrod, giv-
ing up the chase and dropping, lay last. At the Brick-
kiln turn Fisherman began to improve his position and
soon showed in the second place alongside of Saunterer,
Defender being third, Beacon fourth, and North Lincoln
fifth. On entering the straight the race was reduced to a
match between Fisherman and Saunterer, every other ani-
mal being dead beaten. Fisherman quitted Saunterer before
reaching the distance, and won by a length and a half. The
others, headed by Defender, were pulled up some distance
from home. Nimrod was lost in the crowd, and was never
seen at all at the finish.

Rupee held a slight lead, and running nearly in a line
with her were King of Diamonds, Contadina, Venus filly,
Thormanby, and Aurora. At the distance the Venus filly
gave way and Rupee came up, closely attended by Thor-
manby and Contadina. A fine race in was won by a neck;
the same distance between the second and third, and the
third and fourth. Thunderbolt, who threw a plate before
