Aacox RACES.

Fine weather and good racing have characterized the meeting at Ascot. The sport has been capital every day. For the Hunt Cup, on Wednesday, thirty-five starting, King-at-Arms and Schism ran a dead heat, and in

the deciding heat the King carried off the palm. The Queen and Prince Consort attended the race on Thursday, " Cup day," but they arrivedlate and departed early. Seven horses started for the Cup. The race was practically between Fisherman, the favourite, and Saunterer, and was decided in favour of the former, who won by a length and a half.
