SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

EGHAM RACES, TUESDAY.
Distinct from the saturnalia of Hampton and the greater
pretentions 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 not hold out any great prospect of sport, but there
were one or two close contents, 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 for 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 extra. Three-quarters of a mile.

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.

want 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.
