EGRAit RACES.

LAST DAY-THURSDAY.
The absence of his Majesty, although it has occasioned
considerable regret and disappointment, does not appear to
bare produced any prejtulicial effect on the amusements ; on
the contrary, the Noble Stewards have, by a display of spi-
rit and li•ierality, aided by their friends, in as great a degree
as passible compensated for the non-attendance of Royalty.
The excellence of the fitst day'a sport naturally induced an
expectation that the tyro succeeding days would be similarly
characterized : that such has been the ease is allowed by all
parties, and that these meetings are every year deriving ad-
ditional importance we can confidently reiterate. If we
mistake not, the Egham ,Maces, and, indeed, the turf in xe -
offal, are likely to have a liberal patron in that highly
respected Nobleman, Etrl Mountcharles, who has lately
evinced apretlilection fur horse-racing; and if the report be
true, that the winner of the gold cup is his property, we
can congratulate his Lordship upon having commenced his
sporting career auspiciously.
fhe race-ground was very well attended on this, the
last day, and all appeart el satisfied with what the ex-
ertions of the Stewards have provided for their amuse-
ment. Besides many other (!i-•itigu:slted individuals, there
were present the Duke and Dueliess of Richmond, Lords
Mounteltarles, Uxbridge, Lennox, Russell ; Captains
Locke. Berkeley, R.N., Standen, Leeson, Sullivan, Messrs.

The above concludes our account of Egham Races of
1W26, and we feel called upon to speak in the highest
terms of praise of there to whom the conducting of them
barebecn intrnstegl. The Stewards, assisted by Mr. Rains-
bottom, have been indefatigable, nor have those under
thtm been inactive. The dike of Judge was performed
Ly Mr. litobart, of Egham, with great perspicuity and
Went; and the excellent management of the Course Te-
ll, els the highest credit on Mr. John Boulding.
The detachment of patroles was under the able direction
or Mr. Newman, whose assistance was very acceptable; he
succeeded in apprehending some thieves who had robbed
Major Forcelongli, of the 63d regiment, quartered at
'Windsor, of a to/. note and two sovereigns, a lady of a
shawl, besides a few minor thefts.
