THE ASCOT RACE CUPS.—The prize annually pre-
sented by the Emperor of Russia, and the Royal hunt
prize, were last week submitted to the approbation of the
Queen and Prince Albert. The prize given by the Em-
peror of Russia is this year superior in the weight of sil-
ver and the design to that of last year. It consists of a
group, St. George destroying the dragon. St. George is
a patron saint of Russia as well as of England. therefore

the subject is appropriate

manner. The composition very correct. The animals
are full of life, and the workmanship fine.
