SPORTING INTELLIGENCE,

READING RACES.—THuRs PAY.

The Reading Meeting has been popular for a consider-
able period among the members of the Metropolitan Circuit,
and on the present anniversary there was no diminution in
the general attendance, or in the character of the sport.
Several very heavy special trains were despatched from the
Paddington terminus, and, owing to the cheapness of the
" excursion," the carriages were completely filled.
Although, perhaps, the London element preponderated,
there was a large muster of the rustic population, who, as
usual, entered fully into the varied entertainments brought
together by the race meeting. The morning was beautifully
fine, and the course was in far better condition than at any
of the recent Sussex meetings, owing to the late rain and
the facilities for irrigation from the Thames. The ring was
completely occupied, many of the provincial bookmakers
and professionals having arrived from Huntingdon and
Wolverhampton. Racing commenced at half-past one, and
was advertised to terminate at six o'clock, but owing to un•
avoidable delays in the conduct of business, it was a quarter
of an hour after that time before the last race was run off.
In the opening contests Fordham's Gdodwood luck was
ain in the ascendant, as he won five races in succession,
inclusive of the Berkshire Stakes on Bally Edmond, that
horse also being successful in the same handicap in 1861,
when he was a three-yr. old. Singularly enough tour of the
races won by Fordham were head victories. Riglan was
backed for a deal of money at " the lists," but the " turned
loose" horse was struck ont at 1.65. The subjoined return
will sufficiently indicate the nature of the day's sport.

The Easthampstaad Park Stakes of 5 sous each, 2ft, for
three-yr-olds and upwards; winning penalties. One

refractory conduct of Rest, an admirable start was made,
the lot running in a line stretched across the course for halt
the distance, when Rest took up the running, and with
Lord of the Manor at her quarters the pair quitted their
horses. Opposite the enclosure Rest appeared to have
the issue in hand, but compounding at every s ride, Ford.
ham succeeded in his finishing rush, and landed " the
