ASCOT HEATH RACES.
TUESDAY, MAY 31.—FIRST DAY.
,-
Ascot Heath had this day to boast of as splendid an assemblagf
of beauty, rank, and fashion, as we have witnessed at these annual
sports for many years. During the whole of Sunday and Monday
the roads leading to Staines, Egham, Englefield Green, Windsor,
Sunning-Mil, and surrounding villages, were crowded with persons
who had secured houses and lodgings for tie: week, many of which
were only obtained at enormous prices. It is said that Windsor
was never so full, and the charges for accommodation were propor-
tionably high ; beds mere commonly a guinea a night, and where a
sitting room was added, this sum was doubled ; stable.roont .vac
equally in demand, ant many horses of necessity bivouacked in the
open air.
In London, the demand far horns was immense, and we have
heard of the enormous sum of five-and-twenty guineas having been
obtained fir four horses and a bajouche for the day. As early as
six o'clock in the morning, the bustle of .departure was visible at
Hyde Park Corner, and as the day advanced the thing increased—
equipages of all sorts covered the road, and the diversity of character
which was presented to the spectators who lined the footpaths, ex-
cited the most pleasing sensations.
By ten o'clock, numerous groupes began to arrive on the Heath,
and to take up their stations on the aide of the Course. Under the
direction of Lord blaryborough, who superintended the general
arrangements, persons were appointed to prevent confusion, and,
thus the utmost regularity was preserved. Each cart iage as it ar-
rived occupied the most convenient position, and by twelve o'clock
the assemblage of vehicles of every description exceeded calcula-
tion. The pedestrians were also extremely numerous, and we were
happy to observe that those ruffians with cups and balk, garters,
and other swindling devices, by whom Epsom Downs was in-
fested, were altogether excluded fronuthe Course. This desirable
object was effected by the exertions of eight of the principal Bow-
street officers, and twenty-four of •the dismounted patrol, who were
in attendance, under the direction of Sir It. patrol,
By the
vigilance of these men, other depredators were likewise kept at
a distance.
It was announced early in the day that his AIAJESTr, and a party
of his distinguished visitors, would honour the Races with their
prssence, and shortly before one their approach was observed as
they emerged from anteing the trees in the Park. In a short time
they reached the entrance to the Royal Stand. Ilk Majesty was
preceded by several yeomen-prickers in their scarlet jackets, and
came in his plain travelling-carriage, draon by four horse.. Three
carriages followed with the members of his Majesty's suite. His
Majesty, on alighting, was received by Isis 11.11. the Duke of -Yeas
who had previously arrived, and we are happy to observe, looked
extremely well. lie walked to the Stand with great firmness, and
appeared to he completely relieved from his late attack of the gout.
On reaching the apartment devoted to his Majesty's accommodation,
be instantly advanced to the window, and, on throwing up the
sash, was received with the customary demonstrations of loyalty
and affection. He seemed highly delighted by the brilliant and
numerous assembler which was presented to his view. Among
others who accompanied his Majesty, we noticed the Duke of
Dorset, the Marquis and Marchioness of Conyogham, the Marquis
and Marchioness of Salisbury, Lord and Lady Scarborough. Lord
Clarendon, Sir A. Barnard,, and Lord and Lady Mountcharks.
Several of the Nobility also paid their respects to his Majesty
during the day. Among the witnesses to the sports we observed
the Duke of Richmond and the Ladles Paget, Lord Rolle, Lord
Egrcturrnt, Lord Fitzroy Somerset, bud Tankerville, Lord Jersey,
Lord Warwick, Lord Darlington, Lord Huborough, Lord Exeter,
Mr. Lambton, Mr. Mayne, and a long list of others too numerous
to detail ; indeed,we believe all the principal stars in the beau sass*

were present.
At one o'clock precisely Lord Maryborough desired the ben
for the first race to be rung, and at the sante moment the Yammer
Tr:titers and Constables under his Lordship's direction, with graft
propriety forced every person to retire outside of the ropes and
railings, thereby enabling his Majesty, and those is elevated situa-
done, to command an uninterrupted view of the running. The re-
gulations adopted in this respect were most judicious, and were
strictly adhered to throughout the day. The sports were as follow:
His Majesty's Plate of 100,guineas, for horses of all ages, four
miles. For the Plane six horses were entered, but four were
subsequently drawn. Two only ran.
Mr. lleobald's Cydnui, 4yn old . . . • .

At starting Serab .was so decidedly the favourite, that he was
backed at ten to one. Throughout the race, however, to the.
astonishment of his backers' , be scarcely made any play at all, and
Cydnus won easily. The knowing ones were completely looted
in their judgment.

a length. Mr. Wyndbam's sister to Pinwire, Lord Darlington's
by Whisker, aft: Lord Clarendon's by Aladdin, were drawn.
At the conclusion of this race, his Majesty, who seemed highly
pleased by the sports of the day, took his departure, and was fol-
luwed by the members of his suite. The remainder of the company
soon followed the Royal ezanipie. The weather throughout the
day was most propitious, and we did :sot bear of a single accident
to mar the pleasures of the scene.

This still, which has excited a good deal of attention in the sporting
world, and especially among the provincial fancy, took place nu
Monday, at Stow-in-the-Hole, Worcestershire. Jubb is a very fine

On stripping, the decided advantage of Jubb over Reid, in point
of length and weight, was manifest ; Mit there was a Whines' aboai
him, when compared with the well-set limb's of Reid, which with
the good judges did slot place him very high in their estimation:
The betting was now 7 to 4 on Reid, and *hi was readily takes,
2 to 1 would have been taken to any amount.
In coming to the scratch, the position of Jubb was mastery, but
it was all position, for the moment Reid commenced operations,
he caught him with a hush hit on the nose, and drew his ear*,
amidst loud shouts front the metropolitams. • A 1 busy rally followed,
and Jubb bit repeatedly with hi, right, hut he was scientifically
stopped by Reid, who countered heavily. In the end, the men
clo.ed, and both went down, Jubb undermost. Eleven other
rounds were fought, all in favour of Reid, although Jubb tame
up very manfully, and did his best. His hits, however, borar4
round and wild, and the superior tact and Coolness of Reid enabled
him, invariably, to take the lead, and to punish his man severely;

The fight lasted but eighteen minutes and a half.
Immediately after Jubb's defeat, Price, an Oxford !satchel

challenged him for another trial. The friends of Jubb steep
the challenge, and said that i'Jr. Price should be accommodated -at
his own price. It was computed that there were not Is Ale
