per cent., and £105,000 3.375 per cent.; the Ten■
bury had raised £38,750, and after providing for
fixed charges, £24,370 of ordinary stock received
two per cent.; and the Watford and Rickmans-
worth had raised £44,420 (nothing seems to have
been paid upon the ordinary stock). Our list is not
quite complete, we believe, but, after allowing for
the proportionate burdens which have to be sus-
tain by the Great Western, Lancashire and York-
shire, and West Midland, in respect to some of the
undertakings indicated, our recapitulation repre-
sents a capital of £16,981,345, upon which the
London and North-Western at the close of
last year was expected to provide interest to
a greater or less extent. Adding this total to
the £38,864,064 of London and North-Wes-
tern capital, properly so called, we arrive at an
aggregate of £55,845,409 as the capital of the
general undertaking at the close of last year. As
our list of minor undertakings was not quite corn.
plete, we may safely place the total capital in round
numbers at betwee❑ 56 and 57 millions. This vast
amount is divided between 40,000 and 50,000 share
and debenture, holders. Spite of all past mistakes,
spite of the inadequate return still obtained upon
the ordinary stock of some of the affiliated lines, we
cannot but regard the London and North Western
Railway as a very noble undertaking.— Times.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE,

EGHAM RACES-YESTERDAY.

A cooling breeze made a delightful change from the sultry
air of yesterday, and the attendance was larger than we
over remember it on Runnymede. The racing, though,
showed a falling off from that of former years, and the
failure of what used to be the event of the day, the Surrey
and Middlesex Stakes, tended to rob the card of a great deal
of its interest.

The greatest blow the backers of favourites experienced
was in the defeat of Medicis, who had won the Ankerwyche
Stakes with such extraordinary ease the day before, and had
been purchased by Mr G. Angell for 230 guineas. They
laid 3 to 1 freely on her to-day, but it is to be supposed she
found her Gib penalty too much for her, for she was beaten
with extreme ease.

Much amusement was caused in the race for the Surrey
and Middlesex by the cool way in which Fordham and young
Grimshaw rode it. When the flag fell the " waiting orders"
each had received were apparent, and, quietly walking to
the stand, where the pace was increased to a gentle trot,
they proceeded on their way in this fashion to within half a
mile of home, and there set to in earnest, the favourite,
Rappel, winning easily.
The Baron's Stakes (handicap) of 5 soya, with 50 added;

bare, 4 to 1 apt Czarina.

King of Greece jumped off with the lead, with Thread-
bare and Czarina in attendance, to about half the distance,
where he resigned it to Threadbare, who took up the running
to the Stand, and Grimshaw coming again with Mr Hodg-
man's colt the two raced home together, King of Greece
defeating Threadbare by a neck, Czarina a bad third,

Pt eseription jumped off with such a clear lead, followed
by the Doe and Colleen that the race was never in doubt as
far as sho was concerned. Doe was soon beaten, and her
place was taken by Balderdash, but any attempt to reach
the leader was useless. She won in a common canter by
two lengths, the same distance separating Colleen from
Balderdash. Under the Cloud was fourth, Starbeam fifth,
Dolphin and Land of the West in next order, The rest
were beaten off.

AQUATICS.

the Thellusson Cup took
ROYAL VICTORIA YACHT CLUB.
The ocean match of the Royal Victoria Yacht Club for
place en Tuesday and yesterday.
The course was from Hyde to Torquay, The following were
the vessels :—The Osprey, yawl, 25 tons, Lord Burghley,
V.C.—the North Star, cutter, 27 tons, Mr Hyde Bendy—
the Emmet, cutter, 32 tons, Mr Stuart Lane—the Avoca,
schooner, 34 tons, Mr H. M. Goodwin—the Doris, cutter,
35 tons—the Emily, schooner, 36 tons, Mr H. Liebert--the
Madcap,
schooner, 71 tons, Mr A. Dunbar—the Blue Bell,
schooner, 71 tons, Mr Edwards—the Vestal, 74 tons, Sir
Bruce Chichester—the Columbine, 38 tons, Mr L. Fort—
The Julia, yawl, 115 tons, Mr 11. Fielder—the Phosphorus,
cutter, 49 tons, Captain R. W. Bulkeley, R. H. G.—tho
Osprey, 50 tons, Lieut. H. Sloane Stainley, R.H.G.—
the Galatea, schooner, 131 tons, Mr Thomas Btoadwood—
the Surge, cutter, 52 tons, Mr W. Hay—the Maritana,
tone, Lord Louth—the Volante, GO tons—the Marina,
cutter, GO, Mr F. C. Morrice.
This was a time race, double .A.cker's scale, time to be
given at starting, The Osprey yawl was, consequently, the
first vessel to pass between the Commodore's flagship and
the pier, and the Marina the last to take her departure—
the time between these two vessels, the longest which had
to be allowed, was 53min. 40see.—the shortest time given
was that received by the Madcap, from the Blue Bell, 45sec.
The wind at 9 a.m. was E.N.E. The start was satisfactory.
The only casualty was occasioned by the Julia, which ran
foul of and carried the jibboom out of the Leonora while
the latter lay at her moorings. The time observed through-
out is civil time. At 956 the Galatea overhauled the Plies-
pherus—at 10 5, oft East Cowes Castle, the same schooner
passed the Osprey cutter, which lowered her foresail,set a jib,
in place of it, and boomed it out from both tack and sheet,
thereby putting herself out of the race. Between 10 15 and
10 20, the Osprey was gaining on the Phosphorus, and the
Galatea passed them both, and about the same time these
vessels left the Cowes Club-house on their port hands,turned
into the Western Channel, and sighted the leading vessels.
At 10 55 the Galatea overhauled the Osprey for the second
time, and at 11 7 the Julia and the Columbine were both
passed by Mr Broadwood's schooner. At 11 45, off Yar-
mouth, the Marina passed the Maritana. By half-past 12
o'clock all the racing yachts were clear of the Needles west
b40`.% ~—the Blue Bell being leading 'Vaael, At 12 16 the
