ASCOT lIRATH ItACRS.
BAs warty Us` he reelect yesterday morning, the Western sued
lost of the metropolis was crowded wii b equipages, on their route
to Ascot, the gate keepers, even at that hour, having scarcely suf-
ficient time to take the tolls—thisdifficelty increased as the day ad-
vanced, and at all the gates there was but one opinion, that the
number of vehicles that passed this. was infinitely greater than an
any former similar occasion. It was almost impossible to get
through Staines and F.ghant, so completely were the streets
chocked up, and so lengthy the delays at the turnpikes at them
places. Of ail the days in the year, there is none perhaps as
which so much cruelty is inflicted upon the horses; many of the
seams (indeed the greater number) and all the " cruelty vans,"
had to perform the journey, both to and from the races, a di*.
tance of nearly slaty miles, in a broiling sun and clouds of dust.—
Tbc prices charged tot horses here were enormous, twenty, twenty.
five, and thirty guineas for four, eight and ten guineas fur a pair,
and two or three for a saddle.horse. Some of the cattle were
wretched. but the " shell teams" turned out prime tits. The
livery-usable-keepers, without any exception, had orders much be-
yond their means of supplying, although every thing that ingenuity
could construe into a horse was put into requisition.
• At one o'clock the Course presented the most brilliant Irene we
-ever witnessed—Epsom and Doncaster were thrown completely
Ilona the shade by the immense mass of people congregated—the
slas& were ailed to overflowing, and thousands turned away—
the sides of the Course were lined with carriages, six or seven
deep, ailed with 'elegant females—the intermediate spaces were
Red with pedestriaas—in fact, although we have seen many
splendid sights, nothing ever equalled this.
At the hour above-mentioned the line of carriages on their way
to the Heath, extended nearly two miles. In such an immense
concourse, some idea may be formed of the pleasure derived from
oppressive beat and intolerable duet.
His Majesty arrived no the Heath precisely at one o'clock, with
the same retinae as Deface. and was received with similar demon-
strations of respect from the populace. His Majesty throughout
the day evinced la extraordinary interest in the Cup race, the re.
Sat of which he bore with cheerfulness, although greatly disap.
