Ascot, Juno 18 Royal Ascot made a brilliant opening yesterday, although the attendance was not quite so large as in some former and more prosperous OGTA.

The King and Queen, at the head of seven somi-State landaus containing members of the Royal Family, drove along the course to the Royal Box through veritable sea of fluttering handker chiefe. In every ethor respect Royal Ascot maintained its tradi- tional brilliance.

Thrilling racing made the success of the day complete. The Totalizator takings were £46,578, compared with £44,803 on the open. ing day last year.
