EGHAM RACES—Tutrasvey.

The interest usually excited at this meeting by the Queen's
Plate was in some measure counterb,lanced by the gloomy state
of the weather in the early pest of the day ; without being bad
it was sufficiently unpropitious to deter many fro.n visiting the
races, and to this cause may be attributed the absence of several
of the principal county families, whose presence has for many
years been looked upon as a " matter of course." Fortunately
for those who braved all chances rather than miss the race for
the " guineas," fhe rain kept off, and they were enabled to
enjoy a good day's sport without interruption. Before we
proceed to details of the racing, we should state that the efforts
of the stewards and their clerk (Mr. Hibburfl) to ensure an at-
tractive list have, as our returns will prove, been successful—
never, within our recollection, have there been so many horses
brought together, or so much good sport ; we may add that the
minor arrangements have been perfectly satisfactory, and that
the meeting has in every respect exceeded public expectation.
