TATTERSALL'S.

In consequence of the early hour at which Egliatil
Races terminated yesterday, many of the betting gentle-
men were enabled to return to town in time to attend
Tattersdrs. Several engagements were made, and Lord
Exeter's horses were backed to a considerable amount.
The odds averaged as follow :

DONCASTER ST. EEC:ER.
7to agst Lord Kelburne's Retainer
Bto aest Mr. Watts's Nicotris (taken)
Bto agst Mr. Gully's Margrave
12 to agst Mr. S. L. Fox's Julius
12 to agst Mr. Beardsworth's Ludlow
1:1 to agst Lord Cleveland's Trustee
14 to agst Mr. Ridsdale's Brother to Maria
14 to agst Sir R. Bulkeley's Birdcatcher
20 to agst Lord Exeter's Beiram (taken)
20 to agst lord Exeter's Byzantium (taken)
20 to agst Mr. Vansittart's Perion
25 to agst Lord Sligo's Daxon (taken)
30 to agst Mr. Powlett's filly by Figaro
114 to agst Lord Exeter's lot
500 to 400 on Retainer agst Lord Exeter
00 to 400 on Nicotris agst Lord Exeter

EGHAM RACES, Aua. 30.

Although less unfavourable than on either of the pre-
ceding days, the weather yesterday was sufficiently bad to
occasion a thin attendance and bad sport. From our no.
lice of the Meeting throughout, it will be collected that it
has proved an entire failure. This is not to be attributed
to any want of exertion or spirit in the Stewards ; for
everything was done to contribute to the amusements of
the spectators, especially by the acting Steward, Colonel
Salwey, whose attention was unremitting. The weather
alone spoiled the Meeting, many fashionables being kept
away by it, and the ground reduced to a quagmire ; so bad,
indeed, was it, that several trainers who had brought
horses for the Plates declined to enter them. This unfor-
tunate " state of things" was severely felt by the inhabit-
ants of Egham, and still more so by the unlucky proprie-
tors of the Stand, gaming booths, &c., all of whom are
heavy losers. In short the races, which every one antici-
pated would have come up a prize (the promised visit of
their Majesties having heightened their expectations),
proved a blank.
In the course of the afternoon some business was done
on the Great St. Leger. Retainer obtained precedence of
Nitocris, and two or three horses were backed ; but, as
there was some betting at Tattersall's in the course of the
evening, we need not further allude to it.
The running yesterday may be summarily treated. The
first race was for—

Two Year Old Stakes of 30 soup. each, 20 sovs. ft. Three
quarters of a mile. Seven subs.
Lord Exeter's f. by Mountebank
Mr. Dilly's gr. c. Wonford, by Grey Middleton 2
Lord Chesterfield's Weeper, by Woful 3
Weeper and Advance ran together at Goodwood, and
the latter was beaten in a canter; this made Weeper (who
won on that occasion) the favourite at 5 to 4, 7 to 4 being
the quotatio❑ against Wonford, and 6 to 1 against Ad-
vance, who actually had not a backer ; however, she con-
trived to wade best through the mud, and won by nearly
a length, the favourite being third. The winner was
ridden by Arnull, Wonford by Cowley, and Weeper by
Ch apple.
•

A free Handicap of 20 sovs.each, and
.20 sous. added.

Once round, about two miles.
Mr. Cosby's Donegani, 5 yrs

and a match for 50 sovs., betwee❑ two cocktails, was
not run.
