POLITICAL HORSE RACING,
and
PRESIDENTIAL CONTEST.

AS racing has become a fashionable a.
musement of the day-whether it be the
racing Of grooms or of Politicians-I
have here undertaken to amuse the To-
vers of sport with the details ola splen-
did political sweepstakes, which | recent
ly witnessed.
1t had been announced by the ste
eards of the turf that, agreeably to the
provisions of the constitution of the
Jockey club, on certain day jockey
CLUB race would be run over the United
States track, free for the entrance ofany
horse or gelding, mares being excepted;
said horse or gelding being a matipe Of
these United States, aged thtyfpc gears

turf,-the course embracing the whole
twenty-four United States OF America
the weight to be carried by the horses,
nothing more than the obloquy which
the respective riders of each could throw
upon the nags of the others-the en-
trance gratis. The purse, the reward of
speed and bottom, furnished by the
jockey club, was libcrty cap which in
vested the successful candidate with the
presidency of these United States for
the term cfto,r gears From assd after the
4h day o .narch, 1875.
The magnifcence of the prize produ-
ced great interest and excitement and
it was supposed the turf would be crow
ded with the distinguished racers of the
continent. Indeed for long time pre-
vious to the day of trial, the icpriats
were incessant in their annunciations
of celebrated coursers, who would be
competitors in this contest. But when
the dav of entrance came, and the books
were closed, the following five candidates
were alone placed on the hst--to wit !:
81 the ADAMS, the JACKSON, the CLAY, the
CALHOUN and the CRAWFORD. IN. b.

But to enable the reader to enter full

excited, viii add brief sketch of the
pedigree and performances of the five
nags which were entered.
The ADAMS is horse of illustrious
ancestry. He was begotten by the ce-
lebrated John Adams, who ran with such
distinguished applause during the revolt

f'ancss in the latter part of his life de-
tracted much from that high and deser-
