The sums above stated represent what was given by the 

 Trustees of the meeting, otherwise by the Ascot Race Fund.

 £\A^^ ; 47th Triennial, ;^77o— total, ;^7,756 = ;^37,028. 



From the above, prizes for second and third horses and 

 the entrance money of the winners, are deducted, and yet 

 the totals show that the twenty-eight races decided on the 

 four days averaged about ;^i,322 apiece to the winners. 

 It will be seen that the Gold Cup was the most valuable 

 prize, and next in order were the Coronation Stakes, the 

 Hunt Cup, the Hardwicke Stakes, the Prince of Wales' 

 Stakes, and the St. James' Palace Stakes, each of which 

 was of the value of £2fyx> and upwards. The added money 

 at Ascot has not varied much in recent years, and what differ- 

 ence there is in the value of the prizes occurs, as a general 

 rule, through the subscriptions. In 1898 the added money 

 was the same as in 1900, yet in the first-named year the 

 winners received £z^^7Z l^ss than in 1900, the difference 

 being caused by the fact that the entries were much larger 

 in 1900 than two years previously. 



* In this race the second received ^^500, and the third ^200, out of the 

 stakes.
