OXFORD AND CA?TERBURY.

The only drawbacks from a full -enjoyment cf the sport at
Egham yesterday were the inefficiency of the police ar-
rangements and the unmitigated ruffianism which marked
certain portions of the crowd. The card dodges were tried
on in the railway carriages, pockets were rifled on the
course, and I heard an experienced detective officer declare
that, throughout his entire experience, he scarcely renaem •
bers such a large congregation of loose characters. The
weighing stand was turned into a receptacle for captured
thieves, and, in fact, the pleasant character whichwas wont
to attach to the meeting was quite destroyed. The sport
was not of a.very first-class description. The favourite,
Killigrew, won the Handicap with at least a stone to spare,
and Thunderbolt justified the long odds which were laid on
him for the King John Stakes by cutting down his oppo-
nents without an effort. This horse, who has undeniably
good looks, improves upon acquaintance, and should there
be nothing queer about his legs he will be heard of to
greater advantage next season.

The revival of Oxford races is likely to be attended with
a marked success. They who undertook the work brought
earnestness and ability to bear upon their task, and their
efforts were basked by both pecuniary and personal assist-
ance, by the principal inhabitants of the town, and by the
leading families of the neighbourhood. The course, which
is inferior to very few in the kingdom, is in excellent con-
dition, and the Oxonians are not a little elated at the pro-
spect of a re-inauguration of a very pleasant gathering.
The City Members' Plate has a capital entry, and will b•
briskly speculated upon. I shall stand on the old 'uns, and
shall select Little Gerard, New Brighton, and The Poacher
to be amongst the foremost at the finish.
For the Oxfordshire Plate my fancy points to Eltham
Beauty and The Greek.

Hartley Wintney will go unpenalised to the post for the
Heaton Plate, and as he can unquestionably "race a bit,"
he is certainly trustworthy.
For the PortMeadowPlate my allegiance must be divided
between the " two Queens"—Queen of the South and Queen
Bess.

The Stratton Audley Nursery Plate has thirty six nomi-
nations, and the " talent" will have much difficulty in
selecting a favourite. I shall be inclined to trust Madrid
and Jessie Brown.

Lady Kingston and Hop Merchant may be as trustworthy
as anything for the Innkeepers' Plate.
Tho Canterbury meeting will be materially affected by
its clashing with the Oxford fixture. Its list, however,
shows an improvement on that issued of late years. The
only two handicaps closed seem to me within the grasp of
Yellow Rose.
