ASCOT RACES-TUESDAY.

This Royal meeting commenced under the most favour-
able auspices, and the results of the racing will long be
memorable for the easy defeat of the flying Achievement
and the overthrow of Julius, who was thought the best
horse of his year. As usual the Stand was graced by the
presence of Royalty, the Prince and Princess of Wales,
the Crown Prince of Danmark, the Prince and Princess
Teck, Prince and Princess Christian, the Duke of Cam-
bridge, and their respective suites arriving on the course
from Titness Castle shortly after one o'clock, escorted by
Lord Colville, Master of the Buckhounds, and a numerous
retinue of outriders. The Royal party was greeted with
much cheering on driving up the course tc the Stand. The
weather was as favourable as could be desired ; but the
course would have boon greatly benefited by rain, as in
most places the going was very hard, more especi illy on
the far side. In the straight, however, the water cart had
been freely used, and hence it was iu better order. The
eight events on the programme commenced with the Trial
Stakes, for which there were only four absentees from the
full list of 1.7 subscribers, end a good. race resulted in the
firet of a list of turns-up for the fielders, as the winner was
not even mentioned in the ring. The filly, however, did
not change hands, the entered selling price, ..£6OO, appear-
ing too high to tempt a purchaser. No fewer than 26
went to the post for the Maiden Plate, Sir Joseph Hawley's
Vagabond being freely supported ; but the colt never
showed prominently iu the race, which was won on the
post by a head by Vestminster, backed by all the knowing
ones. Suffolk, Speculum, and Tynedale were the abseil-
tees for the Gold Vase, which was a beautiful work of art,
consisting of a large salver, with an alto-relieve design iu '
the centre, the subject being selected from Sir Walter
Scott's "Marmion." The prophets almost to a man had
gone for Julius, considering that he held the rest perfectly
safe; but, as will be seen from the appended report, he
was beaten from end to end by Blinkhoolie, and only
secured second position on the post. Although Mr. Chap-
lin's horse seemed to win remarkably easy, on his re urn
to the saddling enclosure it was seen that he bore marks
of punishment. There was a great falling off in the num-
ber of starters for the Prince of Wales's Stakes, as only
eight of the sixty-one on'the card faced the starter. The
race was a most interesting and exciting affair, as the
second horse in the Darby met the Oaks winner in For-
mosa, and the Two Thousand dead-heater in Moslem.
Baron Rothschild declared to win with King Alfred.
After the Queen's Stand Plato, won by X, who pre the
favourite 3st and a beating, and the Eleventh Biennial,
which needs no special comment, the Ascot Stakes pro-
duced 15 runners out of the score coloured. Lord Palmer-
ston made the running for two miles, and was then beaten,
and, what was rumoured a really good thing, the Maid of
Masham mare, won a good race. Immediately after this
race the Royal party left the course, and no little interest
was excited by the last race of the day, for which Achieve-
ment and Taraban were joined by Mandrake. The famous
mare suffered defeat by the Liverpool Cup hero, as she
died away when, to all appearances, she was winning
easily. Taraban had no chance. Appended is a return of
the running :

Betting-2 to 1 agst The Palmer, 3to 1 agst Vespasiau,

100 to 8 each agst Birdseye and Black Diamond.
The latter, in the centre of the course made the running,
followed by The Palmer on the right and Vespasian and
Emerald on the left for about a quarter of a mile, when
Emerald, on the extreme left of her horses, assumed a clear
lead of The Palmer, who had on his right Ursula and Lym-
ington, Charnwood and Secrecy being
the most prominent
of the others, who were whipped in by Vivier until reach-
ing the half distance. Here the leading division was joined
by the Irish Queen filly; but before reaching the corn
mencement of the Stand enclosure, Vespasian and The
Palmer joined issue with Emerald, and the trio appeared
to have the race to themselves. On ascending the hill,
however, The Palmer gave Way, an example which was
followed by Vespasian—the weight telling upon both the
old ones; Cannon then called upon the Irish Queen filly,
who came on and won cleverly by a neck, a length and a
half separating second and third. The Palmer was fourth,
a long way off was Esher fifth, Ursula sixth, Black Dia-
mond seventh, Lymington eighth, Goodwood and Birds-
eye followed, and Vivier was last throughout.
The winner was not claimed, and there were no sales.

minster and Miss Nellie, 8 to 1 agst Juanita, 10 to 1 ngst
Maid of Mashani filly, 100 to 8 agst St. Mungo, 100 to 7
agst Melody.

After a slight delay at the post, caused by the anxiety
of some of the jockeys to get away, the flag was lowered
to a good start. In a few strides Lopez, in the centre of
the course, assumed a lead of Vestminster, Melody, and
Mr. Chaplin's colt ; La Rose, Chaperon colt, Brotby, aid
Lord Glasgow's filly coining
next, St. Mungo and Vaga-
bond lying wide on the right in the rear of Miss Nellie and
The Rajah. This lot formed the leading division, Lopez
having the command for half the distance, when Vosttnin-
star took the lead, and was joined at the commencement of
the Stand enclosure by bliss Nellie, The Rajah, who had
been lying prominently up,
simultaneously taking a more
improved position on the right of Miss Nellie. Vestmin-
ster, however, retained the advantage to the end, and won,
after a slashing race, by a head; The Rajah was a bad
third: Acaster was fourth, Conrad fifth, St. Mungo sixth,
and Vagabond seventh. Then came the Becky Sharpe
filly, Bretby, Yellow
Rose, and Athelstane in a cluster,
while the last three were Lord Glasgow's filly, La Rose,
and Latona colt.

Betting-3 to lon Julius, 6to 1 agst Dalesman, 12 to 1
agst Blinkhoolie.

-Blinkhoolie made play with a slight lead of Julius and
Lord Glasgow's colt, Dalesmau bringing up the rear,
a slight interval only separating the latter pair. In this
way they ran until rounding the turn beyond the S tam],
where Blinkhoolie increased his advantage to at least half
a dozen lengths, and Dalesman ran into second place,
the Miss Sarah colt lying last. Going down the
hill Dalesman ran up to the neck of Blinkhoolie,
and the pair ran on side by side, two lengths
in front of Julius, who was twice that distance in ad-

Lady Elizabeth, the moment the flag fell, jumped away
with a slight lead of Restitution and Tympanum, but after
about 100 yards had been accomplished, the running was
taken up by Tympanum, Lady Elizabeth following about
a neck in his rear just in advance of Purveyor, .who was
succeeded by Formosa, the Baron's pair bringing up the
rear. In this order at a moderate pace they ran down the hilt
to the Swinley Mile, Bottom, Tympanum still maintaining
