through the preliminary weighing, and shortly after the
names of the 34 riders were exhibited on the telegraph, and
the horses were seen leaving the paddock to take their can-
ters, which having performed they joined the starter at the
post, but in consequence of the fractiousness of several of
the animals some time was lost before the flag was lowered.
At last Mr. M'George got them together, and immediately
lowered his flag. Argonaut, next the rails, was the first
off; and made the running, followed by The Marquis, Not-
tingham, Spite, and Norroy, the next lot being headed by
the Stockwell colt, Neptunus, Vanguard, Buckstone, and

ractacus, Zetland, the Stockwell colt, and St. Alexis, who
ran in a cluster at his heels, the roar division at this early
period of the race beginning to present a lengthened ap-
pearance. Descending the hill the Marquis slightly in-
creased his lead, and as he rounded the turn into the
straight ho appeared a clear length in advance of Argonaut,
Nottingham going on third, with Caractacus, Buckstone,
and Neptunus lying in close attendance. Crossing the road
Argonaut was in difficulties, and shortly after gave way,
beaten. Caractacus at the same time, in company with

Marquis, the quartet running nearly in a line to the dis-
tance, where Nottingham and Neptunus were disposed of,
leaving the race with the three, Caractacus having a slight
advantage of the Marquis, Buckstone being two lengths
in their rear. At the stand Ashmall made his effort to get
up, but failed, and was beaten, after a fine race, by a
neck, a length and a half separating the second and
third. Neptunus was fourth, The Knave fifth,

THE VICEROY OF EGYPT.

The papers give the following account of the din-
ner given to the Emperor and Empress by Said
Pasha in his apartments at the Tuileries :

" The Emperor, the Empress, the Viceroy, and his nephew,
Martapha Pasha, were seated round a table, or rather large
silver salver, richly chased and enamelled, on which covers
of massive gold were placed forfour persons. At some metres
distant a table of 25 covers was laid out for the ladies and
officers of the household. The latter table was served in the
French style, but the dishes were prepared in the Egyptian
mode, and among them were two lambs roasted whole. Tho
animals were purchased alive by the Viceroy's servants,
and killed and cooked by them d l'Egyptienne. The two
tables wore placed in the room which contains the rich
and curious collection of historical armour, purchased some
time since by the Emperor, and intended by him to orna-
ment the armoury in the ancient Chateau of Pierrefonds.
At the moment when the Emperor and Empress entered
the room they were presented with rich basins, and, in con-
formity with Egyptian custom, their Majesties allowed per-
fumed water to be poured on their hands. ,IVhen the
guests took their seats at table, the Viceroy's servant
placed on the lap of each a napkin of extraordinary rich-
ness, the corners of them being embroidered with dia-
monds and fine pearls, to the extent of about six inches.
Only one dish was served at a time, each person helping
himself, and then at a given signal, the dish disappeared,
and was replaced by another, and this continued in succes-
sion until the time for the dessert. The servants then
removed the silver salver from before the Viceroy and
their Majesties, and replaced it by one of gold, on which
were arranged four dessert covers, the plates, knives,
and forks being of gold enriched with diamonds, as were
also the dishes, filled with the most magnificent fruit.
After dinner the whole party retired to another room,where
coffee was served in the Oriental style, in very small porce-
lain cups, standing on a foot, and having much the form of
an egg cup, the whole of them enriched with diamonds.
Long chibouks, ornamented with precious stones, were
afterwards offered to the guests. The Prince Imperial,
who had been present at the dinner, but without partaking
of it, gravely accepted one of them, and, putting the end of
the tube in his mouth, assumed the position of the other
smokers, sitting like them cross-legged. The band of the
Viceroy, which had come from Toulon for the purpose,
played a number of their national airs during the dinner,
and it was remarked that many of them were grounded on
the old marches of the French regiments who
Egypt under the First Napoleon. The water placed
the table during the dinner had boon brought from entered
onfrom the
Nile."
