EGHAM RACES.
The rain this morning did not seem to have damped the
ardour of the pleasure-seekers who annually flock to
Runnymede. The South-Western specials wore as
crowded as ever, and there vas about the usual attend-
ance of the neighbouring families.
The King John Stakes witnessed the debut of Mr.
Fisher's heavily engaged Derby colt Magician, who has
lately figured in the few quotations at the Corner. He is
a handsome colt, with a look of his sire, -the Dutchman,
about him, but his mien was not of a character to warrant
his being classed as a caldidate for Epsom honours.
Sydmonton, with only Dr. Syntax to oppose him, for the
ridiculous exhibition made by Black Playman put him
out of the race from the star:, found no difficulty in put-
ting her Majesty's Guineas tc Lord Portsmouth's account.
The Warrior again proved himself indifferent to weight
in the Welter Stakes, and the
,Runnymede was carried off
by the favourite, General Hem, in a canter.
