Reading Experience:

Evidence:
'in the evening went to the Club, read for a time & then came home ... Was reading at the Club some of the Articles in "Public Opinion", one especially which lamented the decadence of "the Turf" from the want of honor among the owners of horses. Horses said the writer now win if it suits their owners' pockets to let them do so, the Derby it is predicted will soon be shorn of all the national importance once attached to it & will soon be the ordinary common place affair that other races have become.'
