IMPROVEMENTS

AT ASCOT

THE ROYAL FAMILY NOT TO ATTEND

(Special Alr Mail Service)

Ascot, June 10. Since the Court is in mourning. the King and members of the Royal Family will not attend the Ascot meeting next week, and there will be no procession in Ascot state in front of the stands. His Majesty.

however, by making it known that mourning need not be worn in the Hoyal Enclosure, has indicated his wish that Ascot shall retain its us- ual character, and, except that the first-floor room and balcony of the Royal Pavilion will not be open, the meeting will follow the lines of

those of other years. The empti ness of the pavilion will almost be concealed by floral decorations.

Several important improvements have been carried out in the vicin- ity of the stands since the Ascot of 1935. One of these will make it possible for the holders of Royal Enclosure-badges to see more of the racing." The lawn, which for merly dipped down to the level of the paddock, has been substanti- ally raised and given a moderate but effective rake. Thousands of loads of earth dug out of the Heath during the construction last year of a storage reservolt have been used, and at the back the lawn is now about Bft, higher than before.

WATCHING THE UNSADDLING

A low retaining wall of red-toned bricks has been built along the rails of the course and is linked with another improvement which will enable a large number of. people instead of,a few, to see the unsadding of winning and placed horses after each race. A concrete terrace with some 18 shallow steps Has been built at the paddock end of the Royal Enclosure and this will serve a stand when the horses are led in. The unsaddling enclosure for the meeting next week will have a gravel bed, but the ground will later be covered with turf.

Further improvements include a cloak room for ladies, pre- mises within the Royal Enclosure
