something to admire something worthy of contemplation In Its fashionable aud Society aspect nothing com pares with it and though Goodwood may take the palm in respect of natural setting by reason of the charming demeusc In which tUe meeting there is held the Berkshrro gathering is easily first as to the general tone of the sport and of the estimation in which the leading prizes offered are held There are few more coveted run for any ¬ where and it Is a credit to any borse and on honor to any owner to be able to boast the hallmark of an Ascot victory Further the intrinsic value of the stakes competed for is oil a high level and with the exception perhaps of a couple of races of no very great worth the programme Is built on a substantial monttHry basis The dis ¬ tribution of the treasury becomes consequently a matter of Interest aud thdugli each year brings a varying proportion iir the number of races won by owners us well as of their value the sharing taken as a whole usually comes out with tolerable eveuess eveuessThe The Cup may be described as the centrepiece of the meeting the winning of which gives more satisfaction than the winning of any of the many rich stakes presented
