ASCOT RACES—TuEsDay

Iler Majesty and Prince Albert, attended by a very nu-
merous suite, forming a long cort(ye of carriages, &C..
arrived on the ground' a little after one o'clock, and were
received with the most gratifying demonstrations of loyalty
from the assembled thousands. She looked remarkably well,
and betrayed no symptoms whatever of timidity or doubtful-
ness of the attachment of those by whom she was greeted on
reaching the royal stand. She appeared at the window, over-
looking the course, and was most rapturously cheered by the
crowd beneath. All persons present appeared anxious to
show their attachment to the sovereign, and but one feeling,
and that a truly national one, was displayed on her appear-
ance. His Royal Highness Prince Albert did not, to our
eyes,appear in such good health as usual, but as we were at
some little distance, we could not accurately judge. Her
Majesty and the Prince acknowledged the repeated huzzas
by bowing to the company on the course.

The first race was--
THE TRIAL PLATE of £5O, added to a Sweepstakes of 5 sovs.

running was made at a slow pace by Meal, Lasso and Rap-
ture lying up with her, and Satirist in the rear; they ran in
this order to the road, where the speed mended, but without
affecting the front rank, which continued as we have described
it to the distance, where Satirist headed his horses, went on
with the ruuning, and won in a canter by two lengths. Ro-
ver passed Lasso half-way up the distance, and obtained a
very bad third place.
