SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

EGHAM RACES —YESTZIIn,ir.

The promised visit of the King and Queen had a marked
effect on the attendance—in number as well as fashion it
far exceeded any thing of the kind ever seen on Runny-
mede, and rivalled some of the most celebrated days of
Ascot or Doncaster. For several days previous to the
races, Egham, Staines, &c. were on the qui vice, and ex-
tensive preparations were made to afford sufficient accom-
modation not only to the Royal visiters, but to those of a
less dignified character; notwithstanding this, the demand
for lodgings and stabling was infinitely greater than the
most sanguine could have looked far, insomuch that vast
numbers were unable to procure standing fur their horses
or beds for themselves. On the race-course measures were
promptly taken by Mr. Borelding to provide for the recep-
tion of their Majesties ; the Steward's Stand was removed
from Ascot, and placed within a few yards of the winning
chair, a space being allotted for the Royal servants, and
another spot for the carriages of subscribers; in other re-
spects the arrangements were liberal and judicious. Long
before the commencement of the races the crowd assem-
bled on the course was immense, that part of it appropri-
ated to the running being literally covered ; the stands
filled speedily, especially Jenner's Betting Stand, which
was thronged with sporting gentlemen of all classes, from
the patrician member of the J. C. downwards. Shortly
before two o'clock their Royal Highnesses the Duke and
Duchess of Gloucester arrived at the Royal Stand, and in
a short time were followed by their Majesties in an open
phaeton and four, with a few out-riders ; in the same car-
riage were the Laudgravine of Hesse Homberg, and the
Duke of Saxe-Meiningen. The remainder of the Royal
party occupied five open carriages and four ; the principal
members of the suite were her Royal Highness the
Duchess of Cambridge, Prince George of Cambridge,
Princess Augusta ; their Serene Highnesses the Duchesses
of saze-Weimar and daughters, Saxe Meiningen, and the
Duke of Saxe-Meiningen ; Earl of Albemarle, Lord
Clinton, Lord Errol, Lord Adolphus Fitaclarence, Sir A.
Barnard, Sir W. Freemantle, Rev. Mr. Wood, Colonel
Thornton, &c. Their Majesties were received with lively
demonstrations of respect, and entered with great affa-
bility into the afternoon's amusements. Oa their depar-
ture the cheers of the spectators were enthusiastic. The
crowded state of the ground prevented our collecting so
full a list of the fashionables as we could have wished.
We can only furnish the following names:—Marquis
Graham, Earl Jersey, Earl of Uxbridge, Count Bathiany,
Earl Mountcharles, Earl Stradbroke, Earl of March, Lord
Villiers, Lord W. Lennox, Lord James Fitzroy, Lord John
Fitzroy, Lord Ranelagh, Lord Mulgrave; Hon. General
Grosvenor, Hon. E. Petre ; Col. Russell, Sir Mark Wood,
Sir Lewyn Glyn, Colonel Udny, Col. Chaloner, Major
Gore, Captain Byng, Captain Grant, Mr. Scott Stone-
hewer, Hon. Berkeley Craven, Mr. Moberly, Capt. Bulke-
ley, Captain G. Buikeley, Mr. De Burgh, Mr. Gibbons,
&c. We were surprised to observe that neither Sir R.
Birnie, Townsend, or Sayers, were in attendance on their
Majesties; in their absence the duties usually attached to
the station of those parties were efficiently performed by
Mr. Capes of Windsor.

The weather was favourable, and the sport, without
being by any means first-rate, sufficiently good to give
general satisfaction. We subjoin such particulars as the
nature of the racing requires.

winning against Newmarket jockeys, carrying albs. above
