HAMBURG RACES.
The parrs and letters we havo seen this morning from Hamburg
lead us to believe that. the races next month will be unusually bril-
-1 ant. Who the royal and distinguished visitors will be is not yet
stated, but one of th- Hamburg papers positively assures its readers,
that on no former occasion have so many first-rate horses been
entered for any Continental race.
Among the priricipal horses named we observe the Duke of
Augustenburg's Egremont, who is stated last year to hare beaten,
on two occasions, all the English horses entered against him.
•( The sire and dam of Egremont were both English.) Next, Mr.
Fis.eber's Tynnesus, who beat Egremont last month at the Schles-
wig races, and means to try him again. Then follow a host of
Continental note, for whom we cannot here find room.
Among the horses that had arrived from England we notice the
name of Mango, the winner of the Denenster St. Lever, and Phos-
phorus, the winner of the Derby, both last. year. 'Phosphorus is
at present .the property of the Duke of Brunswick, but Mango is
supposed to have been sent over on a speculation. One paper gives
it as the opinion of some of the knowing ones that Mango must
either have fallen off very much. since his triumph at Doncaster,
or that the horse sent over to Harnburgh under that name can
scarcely be the real Simon Pure. A hint is even thrown out that
the owner is willing to profit by the renown which the name of
Mango has acquired, and to sell a spurious horse for a high price
before the rave. Should this be a nluinny it can easily be contra-
dicted, and our columns shall be open for that purpose.
On the whole the races of this year seem to excite even greater
interest than they did a few years ago, when they were first insti-
tuted, and as they will come off next month, just as Parliament
will be prorogued, many
English visitors are looked for. As the
steam-boats now rut,across from Lcndon to Hamburgh regularly
in 48 or 49 hours, and as Hamburgh is one of the few places on the
Continent where foreigners are never troubled about passports,
nor called on to submit to the annoyance of having their luggage
examined, we know of few more delightful trips at this season of
.the year.
We expect in a few days to receive the nogratnine of these races,
when we will not fail to communicate same further yarticulars to
oar readers.
