WALES $ STAKES.
Ascot is ROYAL Ascot still. The attendance the
weather. the outrders in scarlet, the master of the
buckhounds with his silver couples, the procession
up the course, the cheers that greeted the Prince
and Princess of Waes-all and eacI were to-day
the marked characteristics Of the familiar scene.
Windsor Castle is so associated with AscOtheath
that one regretted to see this morning the bare
flagstaff on the Round Tower, but the unrivalled
drive through the Great Park, the aspect of the
COURSE the stand OVERLOOKING with numbers and
beauty, made forget the rather desolate look of
the royal borough, and the coup d'RI of the first
day left nothing to be desired.
1t is possible to see the Grand Prix run for on
Sunday and get here to some charming spot at
Sunningdae or Virginia Water, or quiet abode
in the neighbOrhoOd of Windsor. 1t is possible,
but the work is rather hard, though this year
strong contingent went over to see the Duke of
Beaufort TeCOmpensed for his Rustic dlsappOlnt-
ment with Ceylon. All were up to time this morn
ing, and never was every available spot in the
vicinity of Ascot SO eagerly sought after and so
difficult to obtain.
The card to-day was Of the usual Ascot dimen-
| sOns, but when so much money is given away as
is here the case the items swell, aud must be got
| through somehow.
Five thousand pounds or thereabOuts require
large programme, and the eight events set for de-
cision to-day commenced at half-past with the
trial stakes, the royal carriages appearing in sight
at the bottom of the New Mile just as the horses
were about to take their canter. Theirroyal high
nesses, who came from fitness Park were ac-
companied by the Grown Prince Of Denmark the
Duke OF Cambridge, and Prince Teck, and if the
cortege lacked somewhat Of the state and cere-
mony of former years, there was no difference in
the warm greeting of the crowd
There has scarcely been such large field for
the Maiden Plate as on this occasion, twenty
seven coming to the post, and the favorite, the
Palmer, fine lengthy colt of Sir Joseph Hawley' s
/ won in such easy style as to stamp him among the
, best of young ones we have yet seen. The Assoc
stakes produced such bad acceptance and bart
field that it difficult to select the winner from
= such lot; but War managed to pull it off after
: fine race with Lucifer. The interesting went wa
the race for the Prince Of Wales stakes, in which
Lord Lyons and Rustic met, Rustic receiving sly
/. pounds from the Derby winner, an allowance
+ which the latter was unable to give. The two sin
a gIed themselves out at the distance, and run
good fast race home, Rustic, who always had The
= best of it, winning by half length. There was
good deal of cheering at the success of the Duke
# of Beaufort, and F0rdham, who was unable from
his accident to ride Rustic in the Derby, here haC
