EGHAM RACES, TUESDAY.
Distinct from the saturnalia of Hampton and the greater
pretentious of the meeting at Reading, the Egham gather-
ing affords an especial attraction to the Londoners in its
easy distance from town, and in the certainty that if the
sport be not of first-rate character, yet an agreeable day
may be enjoyed on Runnymede. On this occasion, the ele-
ments were, however, unpropitious, and the heavy showers
sadly interfered with the enjoyment of the multitude. The
card did net hold out any great prospect of sport, but there
were one or two close cente,ts, and a dead heat for the
Runnymede gave an unlooked for excitement to the pro-
ceedings. The first race for the Betting Stand Plate was
won, after a pretty race, by Bolero, and the King John
Stakes were the hollowest of victories for Mr. Alexander's
good-looking filly by Teddington. For the Runnymede,
Odine was made a very warm favourite at 6 to 5 on her,
and she looked like a winner opposite the stand, but Detec-
tive managed to get up, and a good race between the two
resulted in a dead heat. In the deciding one, Detective
walked over, and the stakes were divided. Mr. W. Beville
cantered in on Devotee fur the Welter Stakes, making an
example of his opponents, and for the Ankerwycke, the two
favourites, Reindeer and Fletton, finished first and second.
Her Majesty's Guineas brought the unusual number of 12
to contend for the prize, which was won in hollow style by
Gibraltar. At the conclusion of the race, a tremendous
storm of rain and thunder quickly cleared the course of the
crowds, The attendance was good, though the counter at-
tractions of Stockton detained many professionals in the
North, and the sport was better than was anticipated.
The Betting Stand Plate of 100 soya (Handicap), for all
ages. Winners extru. Three-quarters of a mile.

Gamecock, in company with Deerfoot end Spitfire Kitty,
got away in front, and ran in company to the straight.
where they were joined by the favourite, who took a de-
cided lead as they reached the distance, having Mr. Nel-
son's colt, Deerfoot, and Spitfire Kitty in attendance. Half
way up the latter dropped back, and in a few strides further
Gamecock was out of it, leaving the issue with the two,
Bolero winning cleverly at last by a neck ; a length and a
half between the second and third; Gamecock a bad
fourth.

owner.
Betting-6 to 5 on Odine, 5 to 2 aget Gamecock, and 7
to 2 agst Gamecock.
Gamecock cut out the work, closely followed by the
favourite and Detective to the distance, where the latter
went to the fore and came on with a clear lead, but was
joined halfway up by Odine, who appeared to have the
best of it to the stand, when Detective coming again got
up in the last stride, and was enabled to make a dead heat
of it. Gamecock finished a good third.
Deciding Heat—Detective walked over, and the stakes
were divided.
The Egham Stakes of 5 sovs each, with 50 added, for
three-yr-olds and upwards. Weight for age ; winners

This was the first hospital to introduce the principle of free
and instant admission to the destitute sick, without the for-
mality of governors' let, era, It is entirely devoted to desti-
tution in its most pitiable form—viz., that which is accom-
panied by sickness and disease, and is now of sufficient
magnitude that, with adequate support, it may be rendered
capable of admitting into its wards a very large proportion of
the casual sick of this great metropolis. It requires but the
funds in order to have 500 beds available for the reception of
these the most wretched of our fellow-creatures. Moreover,
it gratuitously affords medical advice and medicine to more,
on the average, than 3,000 out-patients a week.

EARNEST APPEAL to the public for continued support,
to enable them to f dmit and relieve the distressing cases that

APPEAL.

The Committee of Management have to state that, since
'he beginning* of the year 1860, the Roya, National Lifeboat
Institution has expended £32,G00 on various Lifeboat Estab-
lishments on the Coasts of Engiand, Scotland, and Ireland.
The number of lives saved by the Lite-boats of the
Society, .rid other means, since its formation, is 12,800;
for which services 82 Cold Medals, 718 Silver Medals, and
£16,480 in cash have been paid in rewards. The Institu-
tion gas also expended £67,(00 on Life-boats, Life-boat
Transporting-carriages and Boat-houses.
The Committee desire to express their grateful sense of
the generous support which they have received from the
British public during the past few years, a support which
has enabled them to establish their present magnificent fleet
of 123 Lifeboats on the shores of the United Kingdom
Deeply sensible, however, of the great responsibility that
rests on them to maintain their fleet in a thoroughly efficient
state, and its Crews practised in the mana.,einent of their
boats, whi it can only be effected by a large and permanent
annual income, they earnestly anneal to all classes of their
countrymen to aid them in upholding and perpetuating so
great and truly national a work.

point of the Aurora's day's work, being reached in
one hour and seven minutes, the distance being 20
miles. At Blackwali the nurf,erous visitors disem-
barked and returned to town by rail.
Among the visitors on. board were Vice-Admiral
Sir Goorge:Sartorius, Captain Symonds, R.N. (a
strong advocate with the Admiralty for the adoption
of the double screw principle in the Royal Navy for
some time past), Capt. Cuenskaw, the owner of the
Aurora, destining her for the China trade ; Mr.
Russel, C.E. ; Mr. Allen, R.N., of the United
Service Gazette; and other gentlemen whose names
are well known in the naval, scientific and literary
I world.

The principle of the adaptation of double screws
to ships of war has been so far acknowledged in its
importance by the Admiralty the.l; their lordships
have given Messrs. Dudgeon an order to construct
a small vessel which shall combine in their most
efficient form the double-screw principle which they
have so spiritedly and successfully brought into
public notice.

THE NAVY.

The iron troopship Tamar, 2,812 tons, 500 horse
power, since her removal from Chatham harbour to
the steam basin, has been inspected by Capt. W. E.
Mends, C. 8., director of the transport department
of the navy, who was accompanied by Capt. C. Wise,
suprrintendentof thedockyard, and Mr. W. Moody,
master shipwright. The result of the insocczion

ws in the highest degreA satiraftec:s•4ok.,i
manner in which the Tamar hasTbeen constructed

and fitted, reflects great credit on her builders,

Messrs. Samuda Brothers. All the available hands

belonging to the dockyard are at present engaged
in preparing the vessel for sea, and already her

Lc tver masts have been put in, and a commencement

has been made in fitting her wire standing rigging•
In consequence of the great length of the Tamar'
some difficulty was experienced in turning her when
placed in the great basin, the size of which is 520 ft.
by 300 ft., and it was found necessary to open the
gates of No.l dock to allow the ship's head to get
clear. As soon, however, as the large basins now
in progress at Chatham Dockyard are completed,

not the slightest difficulty will be experienced in
turning vessels of double the size of the Tamar.
During the time the vessel was in dock at Chatham
she was fitted with a couple of steam cranes in the
forecastle for hoisting in and out stores, baggage,

B:.c. In addition to the poop and topgallant fore-
castle, with which ebe has been fitted since her
launch, she is to have cabinserected for her Warrant
officers, she will also be supplied with an improved
oven for baking fresh bread for the use of the troops
and ship's company on a plan invented by Mr.
Blake, of Portsmouth dockyard. The cabin for the
officers of the ship under a lofty poop, and the quar-
ters for the ship's company are placed beneath the
topgallant forecastle, by which arrangement all
communication is cut eff between the troops and the

ship's company.
The Clio, 22, 1,472 tons, 400 horse power, Capt.
Milles, is being rapidly dismantled at the Nore,
previously to her being paid off into the Chatham
steam reserve. She has been in commission up•
wards of four years, during which time she has been
attached to the Pacific station. The Clio has been
an exceedingly healthy ship, and only a compara-
tively small portion of her crew who left England
in her in 1859 have been sent home ;- s
while desertions have been very few. Most of her
stores have been returned to the dockyard, and her
guns and shot forwarded to the Ordnance stores,
Chatham ; her powderand shell have been deposited
in the magazines at Upnor Castle.
The ships on the Australian station at the date of
the last advices were the Harrier, 17, Capt. Sulli-
van, at New Zealand; the Miranda, 14, Capt. Jen-
kins, at Sydney ; the Eclipse, 4, Commander Mayne,
at New Zealand. The Miranda has been under-
going repair in the Government dry dock at Syd-
ney, dry rot having penetrated the hull in so many
places that it was found necessary to lay both sides
open. Several portions of the frame have been taken
out and replaced by colonial timber of excellent
quality.
Her Majesty's steam storeship Supply, Master-
Commander Bawden, from the Mediterranean, has
been docked at Woolwich for survey and repair.
Her masts have been taken out and tested in the
usual manner by scraping, straining, and baring, to
ascertain their efficiency for further service, and
have been found defective. The mainmast has been
in place since 1849, in constant use, and the fore-

mast was heel-pieced in Malta dockyard two years
ago. The yards and topmasts are still serviceable
and good. The lower masts will now be replaced
by spars of more substantial dimensions, suitable to
the burden of the ship, with new rigging, &a. The
tunnel to the screw alley, hitherto dangerous, on ac-
count of its confined size, will be enlarged, and the
ship will be entirely refitted throughout. Peacock's
composition, which has been found to answer the
purpose of preserving the ship's bottom, is in
course of being removed, and the ship will be paid
down anew with the same process.

fitted to the sides in an admirable and most success-
ful manner, and two others are ready to be for-
warded. The whole of the plates will be supplied

portion of those used in the Caledonia.
