READING

Races commence on Wednesday and conclude the fol-
lowing day. The only attraction on Wednesday is the
Berkshire Stakes, two miles, which, I imagine, will be
carried to Sir Joseph Hawley's account by the aid of
CRANBERRY, 4 yrs, 7st 61b; Brington, 4 yrs, Est 81b,
second; and Tilsit, 5 yrs, sst 12. b, third. On Thursday
we have the Reading Stakes; for two yrs old colts, Bst
71b, fillies, Bst 31b; half a mile. This stake generally
attracts a large field to the post, and bad it not been tot
the appearance otly Tommy's potent cognomination
among the entries, would do so this year. At the pre-
sent time only one stake demands my attention at
HUN fINGDON, _ _

and that is a Sweepstakes of 10 sm. each, with a purse
add(d by the ladies; for two yrs old colts, Bst 71b;
and tiniest, 8A 41b; last half-mile. Among the entrie,
for this btske the crack names of Kingston (31b extra),
and Al. oulton Lass (31b extra) appear, should either of
these run of course he or she, whichever it may be,
will win.

With respect to other events not very close at hand,
I may as well observe that HARICOT is a first-rate spe-
culation for the Great Ebor handicap, that Knook
Knoll and Little lawn are also worth a trifling invest-
ment for the same race; that the colt by Prince Caradoc
out of Miss Julia Bennet, and Vanguard, are " goo()
things" for the Chesterfield Handicap at York; that the
Abbess of Jerveaux will be about the mark for the
Tradesmen's Plate at Derby; that Don Pedro, Brington
and Valentine will be the fancy nags for the Surrey and
Middlesex Stakes at Egham; and Maria and Prince
Rupert for the Magna Charta Stakes at the same place.
The betting this morning extends over a wide
field, embracing nearly a dozen stakes., The latest prices
rule as follow:—Wolverhampton Stakes-4 to 1 agst
Snowstorm; 4 to 1 agst Goldfinder; 4 to 1 agst Hippo-
gruff; 6 to 1 agst Cocktail and Champion; 10 to 1 agst
