SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

ASCOT HEATH RACES.—TnutsnAv, Jultv 14.
The show of fashionables yesterday, the immense num-
ber of general spectators, and the superior description of
the sport, made ample amends for any deficiency which
might have existed the preceding day. By one o'clock
the tout eusenable of the course was extremely animated
,ind brilliant; th• stands were filled with elegantly dressed
females, the sides of the course lined with the usual diver-
sity of vehicles, and the whole crowned by the presence of
the Sovereign.

His Majesty came to the course at his usual hour, ac-
companied by their Royal Highnesses the Duke and
Duchess of Clarence, who remained in the Royal stand
with his Majesty during the whole of the races. The
Royal party left the Heath after the last race, between four
and five o'clock, and was, as well as on its arrival, loudly
cheered by the most numerous assemblage we ever saw on
the ground. The Right Hon. George Canning was pre—
sent, and in the course of the day was introduced to hies
Majesty, who shook hands with him very cordially, and
conversed with him several .minutes. Many Noblemen
were presented to the King by the Lord in Waiting, in
the intervals of the laces. It will be observed that his
Majesty was again successful with his filly Maria, whict.
carried off the Windsor Forest Stakes.
An eccentric procession took place in the course of the
day, which, not having been Mill before on a raft-course„
is worthy mention. It consisted of the dray-horses of Mt-.
Ramsbottom, the brewer of Windsor, about 24 in number.,
with a drayman and others on the back of each. Tine
beauty of the horses, and the novelty of the eavaleado, drew
general observation, and there were not a few who 'wondered
what they had to do with the races. This was not the
only circumstance which struck us as being new, for we
observed that, in order to preserve .heir eyes from the
clouds of dust which were all day eying about on the road,
several gentlemen had providwl themselves with green veils,.
and being tied round the;:r hate after the fashion of the
ladies, fully answered the desired effect. The plan is not
a bad one on such occasions, for the dust was really very
annoying._

The following is a correct statement of the running, as
marked' from the Judge's book :

FIGHT BETWEEN PICK (THE BRISTOL YOUTH)
AND MIKE CURTAIN, FOR £2O A-SIDE-

This minor affair took place yesterday, in a meadow ti.;ar
Bushey Mill, Watford, and lasted no lees than two k,oura
and twenty minutes, during which time one hund;ed and
four rounds were fought. From the time occup;.ed, it may
be inferred that it was not a very goal fight 'and, iu fact,
this was the case, for neither of the men, possessed those
finishing qualities which enabled them t-,J bring their work
to a conclusion in any thing like good style. In point of
hitting, Pick bad decidedly the bP:dt of the mill, and he con-
trivet! to tattoo Curtain's no,:axle in a very Osoliyhee sort
of style, laying open a nest orifice over his left eyebrow—
cuting his right (thee!: in a very fantastical manner, and
jobbing his nob in. other respects in such a way as to render
him a very pretty object for a Fancy Sketc7r. In despite
of all this evidence of scientific excellence, however, Ruch
was Curtain's game and condition, that lie preset-I,W his
strength and spirits to the last, while Pick, whose punish-
ment was comparatively trifling, fell off, and, in despite of
all his tact, in going down without a blow, and other in-
genious exertions to prolong his chance of success, he was
at length worn out, and, in the one hundred and fourth
round was unable to renew the combat, being quite 'ex-
hausted, a circumstance mainly attributable to his want of
condition, for it seems that he had but little training.:
Both men found it necessary to claim the kind offices of a
surgeon, and were taken from the ground to their beds.
Peter Crawley and Tyler, a relation of Tom Cribb's, at,
tended upon Pick, and Tom Reidie and Tom Duggin offi-
ciated for Curtain.

There was no second fight, and the muster of London
amateurs was but thin, the Aristocracy of the Fancy baring
gone to Ascot Reath Rues. •
