HARPENDEN MEETING—FRIDAY.
The pleasant meeting in Hertfordshire always claims a
large attendance, but on no previous anniversary has such
a truly enormous gathering taken place. The weather was
June like, and the racing of an interesting nature. Though
the enclosure had been enlarged since the last meeting it
was almost impassable, such was the throng of company,
and the course on either side was lined with drags and open
carriages, in which the gentry of the neighbourhood ap-
peared quite in Goodwood style. Derby betting which
took place is only noticeable for the rapid advance of
Oppressor, who, after being supported at lessening prices,
finished at 12 to 1,9 to 2 was offered against Gladiateur,
the backers of the French horse standing out for half a
point more. Full details of the day's sport are appended :
