IGENCE.

READING RACES.-FRIDAY.

The sports on the King's Meadow were resumed yester-
day morning. There were eight; items set down on the
card for decision. The attendance was even larger than
on the opening day, a great many gentlemen having been
attracted to the meeting by the sale of yearlings which
took place during the morning by Messrs: Tattersall and
Messrs. Tompkins. The off side of the course opposite
the enclosure was thickly belted with carriages filled with
the prindipal families of the district, and their attire con-
trasted nicely with those of the people who lined the other
side of the course. Viewed from the stand the sight was
a very imposing one. The fields were again numerous and
the racing good. A little betting on the Goodwood Stakes
took place, The Spacial being supported at 4 to 1, and
Archimedes at 20 to 1. Details of the sport aro appended.
