portion is reserved for those who obtain tickets

Enclosure and the only the admission to

A curious reminder of the fact that the Ascot
racecourse constitutes part and parcel of the
royal domain of Windsor Castle is to be found
IN the methods of dispensing justice employed
there while the meeting is in progress. Ascot
being situated in the County of Berkshire, Of
fences perpetrated in the district ought, under
ordinary circumstances to be dealt with by
the county magistrates and justices of the peace,
but according to ancient laws, dating back six
seven centuries all offences perpetrated

and grounds subject to the jurisdiction of
the Lord Steward of the Royal Household,
namely, Lord Liverpool, who may or may not
be assisted by what is known the Board of
the Green Cloth" and who has authority TO
impose all sorts OF pains and penalties. ranging
from fine and imprisonment to death. In mod
ern times it has been the practice Of the Lord
Steward 10 delegate his authority in the matter
to the magistrates of the district in which the
palace is situated, and thefts and similar fell
ones perpetrated at Windsor Castle are as a
rule. tried by the Berkshire Justices, whereas
crimes taking place at Buckingham or st
Jamess Palace and at Marlborough House are
handled by the London police magistrates The
only exception thereto is in the case of offences
occurring the Ascot racecourse II seams
that about hundred years ago, a particularly
'disgraceful assault upon one of the members of
the royal party took place at the Ascot races
Neither the Prince Regent his brothers had
any confidence in the unpaid justices of the

FENCES on the course. The court Is held in a
small room, in the basement of the royal stand,
and the prisoner usually finds himself duly
entenced and his way to the penitentiary
within half an hour after his arrest.
No Royal Ascot is complete without the picnic
which the King invariably gives on one after
noon of the week, at Virginia Water, large
sheet of water in Windsor Park, concerning the
origin Of which little is known. Tourists seldom
obtain more than a glimpse thereof, if, indeed,
they see it ct all, and the only persons who
are in a position TO appreciate its sylvan beau
ties are those who have been invited the
private guests of King Edward and Queen Alex
andra to this annual picnic. in which the royal
grandchildren invariably included and to
which Mrs. Longworth viii probably be hidden.
Virginia Water is a creation of the Duke of
Cumberland, uncle of George III, and it was in
the year of his victory of Culloden that he
availed himself Of his position ranger OF the
royal forest of Windsor to convert a huge
morass within its precincts into a beautiful
lake, calling to his assistance Paul Sandby, the
