SPORT/NG.
The only racecourse habitually patronised by Royalty is As-
cot Heath. True, her Majesty did once honour Epsom with
her presence, but tt must be scree untoward accident that
shall ever prevent the party assembling at Windsor Cattle
for Ascot races.
The sport commences to-morrow, and the Directors of the
Great Western Raiiway are once again liberal only in the
number of trains tilty provide for the conveyance of the
public to and trom Slough : there is no Railway plate or an-
; I..i.uuncement of tone shilling being added to the race fund by
the great u-dertaking that makes some thousands profit by the
tares. Shame.
m_ltLvhe calendar, I observe, that Mr. Brown is authorised by
o,7:vlaster of her Majesty's buckhoueds, to print the card and
g",.,et lists. So long as we remember, the cry has been,
kez
4 correct card :" the change has been attributed, by
as l'inlorning Radical paper, to the politics of the printer, which
nat:iis_4l.iee merely for its absurdity. It is the Earl of Rosslyn's
s '1 NO," that her Majest3's tradesmen should share, and not
wiih the patronage of the Court—a system so totally
•- 111 Y to Whig-Radical principles that of course they cry
tut- . a'eceaere Will be seven races run to-morrow. Out of the 19
the i',,laPees for the Stakes, some ten or a dozen will come to

ViAlon gallop may do up any one of them. Rhodanthe and
