EG E, ICES.—.ILIU4SDAY.
Ar. unusually oromising list, favourable
weetiP:r, and special trains, combined to make yesterday
the most successful " grand da.)" known at lighara for
the last five or six years. The company; perhaps, was
not so fashionable as could have been Wished, but in
number it le: t nothing to desire. The bustle which pre-
vailed in the town for a considerable time previous to
the commencement of the rases, end the croveded state
of the course from one o'clock until near six, must have
enabled all interested in the meeting to reap a golden
harvest. It Kill no doubt stimulate the Committee to
renewed exertions, and the inhabitants to increased con-
tributions to the race-fund; and when we add that Sir
Joseph Hawley, Mr. Payne, and Colonel Peel, have ac-
cepted the stewardship for next year, there can be no
reason to doubt that Egham, now it has obtained the
advantage of railway communication with the metropolis
will become one of the most popular meetings on the
" home circuit."

Muter, Earl of Strathmore, L-rd Brownlow Cecil, Lord
