ASCOT RACES-FRIDAY,

A very successful termination was put to a meeting
which was marked by many pleasing incidents. Whether
with regard to the quality of the sport or to the assemblage
of visitors, the memory of the oldest turfite cannot recall
a more delightful gathering on Ascot-heath than that just
brought to a conclusion.
In the aggregate the fields numbered 261 horses, while
last year they brought out only 175. We have already
borne testimony to the efficiency of the executive depart-
ment, but to the untiring exertions of Capt. H. Seymour,
one of the trustees of the Grand Stand, who personally
superintended the arrangements, much of the comfort and
convenience experienced by the visitors must be attributed.
