IGENCE.

READING RACES.-FPJDAY.

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
aide 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 Special being supported at 4 to 1, and
Archimedes at 20 to 1. Details of the sport are appended.

easily by two lengths from Commissioner, whose
bandagevY

very resolutely. Jeannie Deans finished three lengths
in rear of tho second; Misfortune and Sister to Scottish
Chief were next, close together; the Alarum colt was
