ASCOT RACES.
A meeting of the trustees of the grand stand, consisting of
the Earl o Rosslyn, Henry Seymour, Esq., Thomas Rawdon
Ward, Esq., and Mathias Gilbertson, Esq., with the secretary,
;Mr. Thomas Hibburd, assembled on Wednesday last at the
stand, on the heath, for thepurpose of making the,necessarypre-
limina.ry arrangements for the ensuing week. The chair was
taken by the Earl of Rosslyn.
Some very considerable improvements have been effected in
the vicinity of the grand stand since last year, by Mr. Hibburd,
the clerk of the course. The rails which were in front of and
between the grand stand and the course have been removed,
leaving an open space between the enclosed lawn in front of the
stand arid the course. This area will be kept entirely clear,
the public not being permitted to remain at this spot in order
that there may be no obstruction to the view of the spectators
from the lawn, who have paid fur admission to the stand.
Mr. Hall, the Chief Magistrate of Bow-street, will be in
attendance during the races, assisted by Mr. Burnaby, the
Chief Clerk. A very great improvement ha, been effected by
Sir. Hibburd in connexion with the room appropriated to the
use of the sitting Alegistrate., under the stand of the Jockey
Club. Heretofore the pickpockets and other offenders appre-
ht on the course have been taken before the sitting 'Magis-
trate through the same entrance appropriated to the public, in
consequ, rice of their having been no other mode of ingress to
the building. A separate entrance for the prisoners has just
b. en constructed at the rear of the premises, in order that
offenders may be introdueed.to the Magieti ate without jostling
and annoying the general company.
The whole of the other arrangements wil be conducted upon
the same excellent plan as heretofore.
The following horses hail arrived at Ascot up to yesterday
morning :
The Marquis of Westminster's Satirist, William de Forti-
bus, and Auckland; the Duke of Bedford's Envoy, the Duke
of Grafton's Euterpe, Mr. Phillimore's Finchley, Solimene,
and Rochester; Col. Peel's Fin-nut-aware and Nicholas; Sir.
Ord's Becswing.
Besides these arrivals there are fourteen horses at Scott's
stables on the heath, and ten at Death's.
Every stable and box in the neighbourhood of Ascot have
been engaged. Indeed a greater number of horses are ex-
pected than have been known to _attend this meeting for many
season, past.
Although the course is in excellent order, yet some twelve
hours' rain between now and Monday would very mate, ially
tend to its improvemeet.
Six extra high stands have been erected, which are as many
as can be permitted, from the want of aelditional room in that
part of the heath appropriated to them, in the immediate vici-
nity of the grand stand. several applications fiorn other parties
have consequently been necessarily rejected.
'I he Queen's stand is now beirg prepared for the reception
of the Court and her Majesty's Royal and Must, ious vi,itors,
by several workmen, upholsterers, and others, employed in the
Lsrd Chamberlain's department, under the superintendence of
Mr. Saunders. The draperies of the Queen's refreshment and
retiring rooms, consisting of elegant blue and white chintz,
beautifully arranged in the form of a spacious marquee, and
tastefully ornamented with Turkish festoons, have just been
completed. The chairs, carpets, and other furniture, have
arrived, and the whole of the spleediii fittings will be coin- i
it ec erste ,i 4; Mrseele:,
It is quite certain that her Majesty weir hum= tile races I
with her presence on Tuesday and Thursday.
