Ascot Races commenced on Tuesday. The attendance was larger than
usual on the first day; but the only noticeable point in the running was, that Little Wonder, the winner of' the Derby at Epsom, was beaten easily by a mare or no reputation, Darkness by name. Wednesday was a dull day ; but the great race for the Cup was well contested. We give the officio/ account from the daily papers.
