EGIIAM RACES.

FIRST DAY (TUESDAY).
These races, which, from local attractions as well as na.
tional recollections, have obtained considerable liberality,
commenced this day, and under auspices which left little
doubt that the promises hell out last year would be
realised.

For some years past the meetings on the renowned Run.
nymcde have been rather deficient in sporting interest, and
that was so obvious last year, that a simultaneous deter.
mination was excited amongst those present to give them
every support, and place them in the same important rank
which they had previously held. His Royal Highness the
Duke of Cambridge, who was present, was amongst the
first to come forward on the occasion, and the propriety of
having a gold cup and a county stake being suggested,
his Royal Highness, with great liberality, gave weight to
the recommendation by immediately subscribing to both,
and also promised a plate of SOL, to be run for the first
day : and to make his patronage effectual, accepted the
office of Steward in conjunction with J. Ramsbottom and
T. Wood, Eeqs. The example of his Royal Highness was
followed with avidity, and before the day closed the gold
cup and Surrey and Middlesex stakes presented a long list
of respectable names.
The course is now in excellent order, it having been le.
veiled at a great expense. The excessive heat of the wea-
ther, however, kept many horses away, which has been the
case lately at many of the country meetings ; but we are
justified in asserting, that the sport was good, and that few
left the ground disatistied.
His Grace the Duke of Richmond, who was present to.
day, and won every thing run for, and the Earl of Mount-
charles have accepted the office of Stewards for the next
year, and immediately subscribed to the Gold Cup and
Surrey and Middlesex Stakes to be then contested, ae did
the Earl of Egremont, Captain Berkeley, Mr. Ramsbottota,
Mr. Whitcsides, &c.
There were on the Course the Earls of Egremont, Vera.

bottom (who performed the arduous duty of Steward), &e.

looked after.
