EGHAM RACES—(WEDNI:sDAY.)

Although less numerous than the first day, the races
yesterday were of a very superior description, and fully
realized the most sanguine expectations of those who cal-
culated ott the liberal sp►r►t which has all along charac-
terized the coirduct of ibis Meeting,. Every thing wis ar-
ranged with the greatest precision; add We feel ourselves
justified in asserting that Egham Races pfetrnise 6 dutive
at the first rank of provincial meetings. The :-"to*ritdi
(Lord Egremont and Messrs. De Burgh and Wightwick)
have been indefatigable, and have received the most effec-
tive assistance from the Duke of Richmond, Lord Mount-
charles, and tile principal gentry resident in the neighbour-
hood. Nor has Royal aid been wanting to give effect to
their exertions.' Tild bate fact that nine races constitute
the appointments for this day (Thursday) is (Odic sufficient
to chew that there is no lack of patronage. His Majesty
did not visit the Races yesterday ; but we are enabled to
state, that should the weather prove favourable, the races
to-day will be honoured with the Royal presence ; every
preparation has been made to preserve order on the Course
--many extra constables have been engaged, and all the
minutia observed at Ascot will be exforeed here; the races
will commence at one o'clock preciaelp-call jockeys not
being ready at the appointed time will incur the penalties
established at Newmarket ; and we are given to understand
that all future meetings at Egham will be conducted on the
strictest principles of regularity.
Many fashionables were on the Course yesterday, in-
cluding the Duke and Duchess of Richmond, Duke of
Dorset, Earl and Countess of Mountcharles, Earl Strad-
biooke, Lady G. Bentinck, Ladies Georgians and Agnes
