ASCOT SALES—SRCOND DAY.
That rapid amendment of his MAJESTY'S health,
since his removal on Saturday from town, has been I
surprising, and even surpassed, it is said, the antici."
pations of his Physicians. The Royal Lair, is,'
therefore, likely to become a favourite residence rot-,
some time, the more especially as, in addition to its
healthful situation. it affords an opportunity for taking
air and exercise in seclusion, of which his MAissrit 1
is represented as desirous. It was not known whether
the Heath would be again honoured with the Royal
presence yesterday, or whether his MAJturrst would
postpone his second visit to the third day, as he did
last year. Orders, however, were given to have the
necessary refreshments and other preparations ready
on the Royal Stand. When the morning arrived, it
brought with it an ample fulfilment of the farewell
promise of the last day's sun. Windsor and the other,
towns for ten miles round the Heath were all alive
with the bustle and preparation of the gay votaries
of pleasure, until the hour approached when the run-
ning was to commence. The various equipages then
poured forth in lines from all directions, like the radii
of a circle, of which the Heath was the grand centre.
The company, however, did not appear tcr be so nu-
merous as on the first day: indeed, there never are
so many present on the second as there are on the
first and third days of these races. The assemblage
was, nevertheless, very coesiderable, particularly of
the more fashionable order. At one o'clock the Ktao's
equipage came in view on the road leading from
Windsor Park, followed by two other carriages and a
pair of curricles; and in a few minutes, sweeping along
the Course by the back of the stands, the Royal caval-
cade entered the enclosure of the building appropri-
ated to the SOVEREWE'S accommodation, attended by
outriders, in the same manner as on the preceding day.
his MAJESTY then appeared at the window, dressed
as before, in a blue frock and white trowsers, and
looking tolerably well, considering his recent indis-
position, but not better than on Tuesday. The Royal
Party seemed not qttite the same. In addition to
those we mentioned yesterday, it cornpyised the Duke
Of DORSET, Lord Pasmuos, Lord SOADIMOROUOK,
Lord Gnaves (as Lord in Waiting), the Marchioness
of COriTI4GtiAM, Lady Owynyn, -and several of the
Foreign Ministers. After remaining for a very short
time at the window, his MAJESTY retired and seated
himself upon a chair, in doing which be appeared to
experience difficulty in stooping; his lameness, too,
was more apparent to those outside than on the for:-
mer day. 'floe Duke of YORK, who is stopping at
Frogmore, where his Royal Flightless entertains a
party during the Races, did not al riVe until after the
horses had started in the flrStiace.; his Royal High-
ness then made his appearince„ zalloping up the
Course, accompanied by some of his party, and fol-
lowed by a brace of outriders; and had scarcely time
to alight from his horse and ascend the Royal Stand,
before the racers reached the winning post.' The
Duke was dressed on each day in a plain coat of
sp..rting green, and seemed in excellent health.
. The first lace was for the Duke of York's Plate of
r.,50 fur all ages, with propoitkinate weights, to start
at the distance post, and go once round and a dis-
tance; the n inner to be sold for 350 girineax, if de-
manded. it was an indifferent race, won with ease.
Six horses starred, viz.

This was fOiinWea by the Race for the Winkfield Stakes of 50
guineas each. h. fr. 3-yr-ohln. New mile. it was better con-
tested than the last, and cost the winner a severe flogging ; it was
our., however, by nearly a length. The betting was 5 to 4on
Circler against the held. Ten bursts were entered, bat only
three ran, viz.—
Mr. Biggs Bertram
lhike ut Grafton's Cinch:. -
Air. TUTIlet'S coltoby l'hautom - -
The third was for the Swink,- Stakes of 25gs each, for 3 years
old, 7st. 41b. and four. est. 101 b. The Duke of lark's Aaron
was entered, but did not ran. Ouly twe horses started, viz.
Lord Darlington's Martellus, 4 years old - - I
Lord Jersey's colt, by Comas - - 2
This was a must execrable race, still worse than the first, the
horses being not at all matched; and as if it had been deterruined
that there should not hi good race all that day, Lord Jersey's
c. by Comas walked oxer the course for the Albany Stabs of
50 guineas each.
His MAJE3rY and suite set out for the Royal Lodge
immediately after the last race. Nothing could ex-
ceed the delightfal state of the weather during the
vhole of the day. Ilithrito we have not karma that
any accident has occurred.
