ASCOT HEATH RACES-45NE 4.

The t'aciiyesterday did not go off with that brilliancy
which distinguished the first day, the company being less
Duiterous, not so fashionable, and the weather, especially
in the morning, unfavourable in the extreme : still the at-
tendance respectable, as immense numbers have taken
up their quarters for the week at Windsor and other neiiih-
hoUring towns, and were enabled to get to the races with-
Mit much etposUre to the rain ; close carli'ves: great coats,
and infthr.llat were to be Seen in every direction, marring
the splendour of the ge!Oiti and throwing an additional
lamp on the amusements of "the de.t: Towards the after-
noon the weather became more 'favourable, ed the Heath
Assunied a more anitnated look ; hut, as Nve have :availy
observe ,she general effect was infinitely less brilliant thad
on Tuesday. From the rein which fell in the morning, a
doubt was entertained that his Majesty wcitlil not honour
the races with his presence, and much anxiety teas Mam-
ii:,sted on the Subject ; , this apprehension turned out to be
well founded, for his Majesty cild not visit" the race-course :
much chagrin was expressed by those Witb, ii the fervour
of their loyalty, had braved the inclemency of the viLither
for a sight of their Sovereign. In the absence of his Ma-
jesty, there were present their Graces the Dukes of Rich-
mond and Dorset, Earl Verulam, Earl Jersey, EadMount-
cliarles, Marquis of Cleveland, Earl of Stradhroke, Lord
C. Somerset, Lord G. Lennox, Lord Lowther, Lord Sef-
ton, and most of the other names we gave yesterday.
'The course, in consequence of the rain, was very heavy,
;Ind in the lower parts slippery and dangerous.
The various stakes were tolerably well contested, and
were decided in the following manner :

The Swinley Stakes of 25 sovs. each. Mile and a half.
Lord Verulam's Brocard, 4 yrs
Mr. Pettit's b. f. Zoe, S yrs " 2
Lord Moontcharles's b. c. Coronet, 3 yrs 3
Betting 6to 4 asst Zoe, and no other named. Coronet
took the lead at starting, and kept it with strong running
to the torn, when Zoe took it up and led till about 100
yards of home; Brocard then came up, let loose, and beat
Zoe in a canter. We are at a loss to account for the high
estimation in which Zoe has been held: surely those %rho
formed so great an opinion of her could never have seen her
gallop, or they would have thought differently, for we never
saw a horse gallop in such a wide wobbling style as :he did
in this race. The winner was rode by Conolly, Zoe
Lye, and Coronet by Paris.
Sweepstakes of 100 sot's. each, b. ft, for fillies, Bst. 41b.
New mile.

in this position, and et the same pace, they finished the
race, Ti ample winning easy by two lengths ; rode by
Paris, Urganda by Arnull, and Manille by Conolly.
Trample is a recent purchase from Lord Mouutcharlea.

to 1 agst Challenger, 7 to 1 agat the winner, and 7 to I
agst Jour de :Noces. At the word, off went the Carbon
filly at score, the others in a beep at her heels ; so OW
went over the hill, when Juryman came and took up the
running, leading some distance; Challenger then had a
lead, and kept it to the distance, when these fell into the
rear, and Kildare went at ones to the front, kept it, and
won very cleverly by two lengths; rode by Robinson ;
Southcote by Goodison ; Jour de Noces by Arnull ; Chal-
lenger by Chaple; Juryman by G. Edwards; and Carbon
by John Day.
Sweepstakes of 100 sews. each, h. ft. The New Mile.

close together till within 30 or 40 yards of ending, when
The General's calt went a-head, and won easy by two
lengths, rode by Barnard ; the other by John Day.
On the whole the day's races were not of the first de-
seription, all of them being won easy.

FURTHER PARTICULARS OE TUESDAY'S RACES.

These Races being the most popular in the neigh-
bourhood of the metropolis were distinguished by the
presence of that galaxy of fashion and beauty which
the presence of his Majesty is at all times sure to com-
mand. The morning was rather unpropitious, being cold ,
and cloudy, and the departures from London were not so
numerous as we have witnessed on former occasions; still
the equipages on the Heath were of the most dashing de-
ecriptiou, and far exceeded in elegance of appearance those
which were observable at the late Epsem Meeting. There
were more of private " teams," and it was manifest that
the Aristocracy felt a little snore strongly the necessity of
supporting the dignity of their station in the neighbour-
hood of Royalty than elsewhere. Of the humbler visitor: •
to the Course, the throng collected from all quarters was
immense, and the same gaiety and buoyant spirit were
every where observable.
Since the last season, several judicious alterations have
been made in his Majesty's Stand : the old rooms have been
enlarged, and others added, so that perfect accommodation
for the Court party, however large, has been secured. The
fittings-up of these apartments are extremely elegant, and,
viewed from the Heath, have a very imposing effect.
The arrival of his Majesty having been delayed till a
quarter after one o'clock, apprehensions were entertained
that he would not come, and the utmost anxiety was ex-
pressed among the fashionable groupes who crowded the
course, lest he should have deferred his visit to another
day. The usual signal having been made, however, his
approach became certain, and universal pleasure was dif-
fused among all classes. From the front of the Grand
Stand, to a spot far below the Distance-post, an avenue
was formed, of which the fair sex formed a prominent part,
and all watched with interest the advance of the Regal
party. Lord Maryborough led the way, and was followed
by a body of yeoman prickers, dressed in scarlet. - Then
came his Majesty in his private carriage, drawn b:,fifour
horses ; and this carriage was followed by four others,
containing his Majesty's personal attendants, and several of
the distinguished visitors at the Cottage. - The cavalcade
was closed by another body of yeoman prickers. His Ma-
jesty, who was dressed in a plain frock coat, with a star OA
his left breast, looked remarkably well, and seemed highly
delighted at the affectionate demonstrations of loyalty
with which his progress was attended. He bowed repeat-
edly, and smiled upon the multitude in the most affable
manner. On reaching the Grand Stand, where he was
received by Sir R. Uralic, with customary state, his Ma-
jesty immediately proceeded to the principal apartment,
and throwing open the window, stood forward in public
view. This condescension was received with the loudest
cheers, and the press to be near his Majesty's person for
some time produced great confusion. We seldom have
seen his Majesty more cheerful ; and, as an old veteran
who was present, and who said he had wintered mans-
storms in the neighbourhood, justly observed, "there
appeared to be thirty good years of active exertion
still upon his manly brow." That this prediction may be
verified, must be the anxious wish of his subjects. Among
the illustrious and distinguished individuals who were in
the Royal Stand during the day, we noticed his Royal
Highness the Duke of Cumberland and Prince George. the
Dukes of Dorset and Leeds, the Earl and Countess of Car.
!we, the Earl and Countess of Warwick, the Marquess
and Marchioness of Conyngham, Lord and Lady Stratha-
ven, Lord and Lady Cowper, Lord and Lady Morpeth,
Lord and lady Mountcharles, the Count and Countess
Lieven, Sir Frederick Watson, Sir Frederick and Lady
Fremantle, Sir NlVrer. Keppell, &c. Among the other vi-
sitors to the Heath, we observed the Duke of Grafton, the
Duke and Duchess of St. Alban's, with the Ladies Beau-
clerk ; Lord and Lady Sefton, and the Ladies Molyneaux ;
Lord Molyneaux, Lord and Lady Clarendon, Lord Vent-
lam, Lord Jersey, Lord Clinton, Lord Uxbridge, the Mar-
quess of Cleveland, Sir John Shelley, &c. 8"
The promenade between the races was well attended,
and the display of elegant costume among the belles was of
the most diversified and tasteful description. The bril-
liant colours of the silk and satin hats were, it is true, a
little dimmed by the clouds of dust to which they had been
exposed ; but then the bright eyes beneath produced a
lustre of a more dazzling description. Ilia Majesty and
his distinguished guests remained on the course till the
whole of the races were concluded, when they departed in
the same order in which they came. His Majesty was
again greeted with loud cheers.
Among other novelties on the Heath tee noticed Charley
Wright's " Ascot Lodge Hotel," which is stationed close
behind the Royal Stand—and in addition to lodginga' for
1 ~ man and horse," furnie!ies every species of refreshment

which the mint fastidious appetite mar tequire. %re s!
glad to see that his exertion was warmly patronised, and
that this desideratum, so long wanted at these races, is
higliiy mired by the beau monde.
The following is an account of the races of the day :

Lord Verulam's Helas, 5 yrs. 7si. 101 b.
Betting-5 to 4 aget Maria, sto 2 agst Belzoni, sto 1
aget Dervise, and 19 to 1 eget Dandelion. At starting off
went Dervise at strong running for the distance, evidently
to cut tilt the work for Maria, who was kept back for the
last push. Dervise kept in front for about a mile and a-
half, when Belzoni took up the running, and made it all
clung the bottom, Maria being well laid in ; she there
challenged, and the remainder of the ground was beauti-
fully contested, the mare appearing to have the best of
it till within a few strides of home, when the horse made
an Onexpected rush, and won by a neck only : all the
jockeys Were fit st-raters. The winner was rode by Goodi-
son, Maria by nothrsoo, Dervise by Arthur Pavia, and
Dandelion by Conolly, tteliorn we were glad to see so noon
recovered from the accident which befel him in riding for
the Derby.

Jaz! long keep the lead, for Popinjay again took the front,
maintained it, and won cleverly by a length. He w

Mr. Wyndham's Chateau Margaux, 6 yrs •
Mr: Mills Brownlock, 6 yes
Mr. Delete Radcliffe's Derviae, b yes
Lord Tavistoclea Leeway, 5 yrs dr
Betting 6 to 5 apt Chateau Magaux, 6 to 5 net
Brownlock, and 10 to 1 aget Dervise. The winner weal
affray in front, and kept it to the tern for straight running ;
the other two then came up and ran tdaveast of him until
near home, where Dervise gave way, and Chateau got
a-head of the Yorkshire horse, whom he beat cleverly ba
y
length. It is evident, that if Dervise had ant run in
the Oatlands he would have told a different tale for this, as
Chateau was nearly done up when he came in. '1
winner was rode by Arnull, Brownlock by Samuel
and Dervi.se by Robinson.
This is the third time that Chateau Margaux lies run for
the King's Plate at Ascot ; but never till sow did the entry
produce anything that was likely to have a chance with
him. In 1826 lie first started for and won it; and he
won the Gold Cup the same Meeting: Last year he also

oue looked
for the chance of his being defeated ; when, therefore,
Brownlock beat him, it was directly supposed that ./w was
either amiss, or had fallen off in his training. Those s7rlya
affect to be judges in these matters, say th:.t he was not
rode properly on that occasion, and that instead of waiting,
lie ought to have made all the running way; and in this
we'agree, for Chateau Margaux, without being a first-rate
horse for speed, can go a good pace for the distance (four
miles) better than any horse is England—his defeat for
the Craven Stakes was owing to the pace, which was as
much too quick as the distance was too short for him.
Independent of his victory over Chateau Margaux, Brown-
lock beat Leeway at Guilford last week, enhancing his
own reputation, and giving additional interest to the rare
yesterday. Neither Dervise nor Leeway were looked upon
as fit to oppose the two old horses.
