EGHAM RACES—V EiTRIIDA Y.
The weather was as favourable yesterday as on Tuesday,
and the company, attracted no doubt as much by that as by
the Queen's Plate, showed a marked improvement in num.
bers, if not in quality. The list, however, was not so produc-
tive as the Stewards could have wished, the want of horses (a
cause prejudicial to many other meetings) having prevented
some of the stakes from filling, and made the entries for the
others poor alike in number and character. Looking at the
meeting generally it cannot be denied that, notwithstanding
the exertions of those to whom it is entrusted, it has disap-
pointed expectation ; the sport, for the reason given, has not
been over-abundant, the fields have been small, and the betting
limited ; nor have the attendances reached the averages of for-
mer years. It is to be hoped that her Majesty will next year
countenance the races by her presence, and that the inhabi-
tants will show a little more liberality than has marked their
subscriptions to the last fund. The following is a return of
the racing :
The Sunninghill Stakes of 5 sovs. each, with 25 added, for three
yrs old and upwards (Handicap). The last three quarters of the
new mile. 7 Subs.
Mr. Balchin's Lady Agnes, 3 yrs, 6st. 51b W. Balchin 1
Sir G. Heathcote's Lanarca, 3 yrs, 7st. 41b
Mr. T. Hussey's Kitty, 4 yrs, a feather 3
Lord Albemarle's Gil Blas, 4 yrs, 6st. Sib
4
Captain Williamson's Mirvan, 4 yrs, 7st. 41b
Mr. Robertson's Berwickshire, 5 yrs, Bst. 121 b 6
Betting-7 to 4 agst Lanarca, 3to 1 agst Berwickshire, 4to 1
agst Mirvan, 5 to 1 agst Gil Blas, and 6 to 1 agst Lady Agnes.
Lanarca jumped off at a capital pace, followed closely by Mirvan to
the last road, where the latter fell back, and Lady Agnes went
alongside Lanarca. The latter kept her position till within a few
strides of home, when the light weight got clear of her, and won
cleverly by two lengths.
A Sweepstakes of 30 sovs. each, 20 ft., for two yrs old; colts, Bst.
51b ; fillies, Bst. 21b. Winners 31bs. extra. Last three quarters

of a mile. 4 Subs.
Captain Williamson's f. by The Colonel, Bst. 21b Mann 1
Sir G. Heathcote's ch. f. Carolina, by Velocipede, Bst. 21b 2
Betting-5 to 2on Carolina, who, having the best of the speed,
led for about 200 yards; the Colonel filly then got up, took the
lead for the last half mile, and won easy by two lengths.
The Queen's Plate of 100 guineas; three yrs, 7st. 51b; four yrs,
9st. llb ; five yrs, 9st. 111 b ; six yrs and aged, lOst. 21b. Two
miles and a distance.
Sir G. Heathcote's Valentissimo, 6 yrs Chapple 1

Captain Gardnor's Toothill, 5 yrs
Mr. Robertson's Olympic, aged 3
Mr. V. Dolphin's The Skater, 5 yrs
Betting-6 to son Valentissimo agst Toothill, and 4tol on the
two. The Skater took the lead at a good pace, Valentissimo lying
second, Olympic third, and Toothill last. No material change of
positions occurred till they reached the last turn, where Toothill
took the lead from Skater, and with Valentissimo in waiting made
strong play to the betting-stand. Here Valentissimo went up to
him, and after a fine race home won by a length. The other two
were beaten off several lengths. During the races performances at
the Windsor Theatre, where there is a very excellent company,
were under the patronage of the stewards, and each night attracted
a full and fashionable audience. This evening the performances
are commanded by her Majesty.
Ascot Grand Stand.—A great number of shares have been
taken for this building, and preparations have already com-
menced for its erection, so that there is every probability of its
letion by 1839.
