INN ~ vi hA1
Nicc-President and several other Members of the Club,
and was found TO be eracdy one mile.
1t cannot escape notice, that tile friends of the National
ConrfRtfons to nominate a horse for the great race of four
miles out, over the track of the Union, have, no doubt,
p%urposcly fixed upon the same time, for their mcsting-
thus, clearly proving, not any political concert, or magi-
cal influence, but the c~cntrat-ity of our position-and the
Aat,oh-ality OF the sport. Well! let them come, OF all
partcs-irom the East and the West, and the centre of
the Empire" All shall be welcome, and every nag
have fair Play-whethcr he be black, white or chestnut
Let them come fairly To tie poSt-avoid foul riding-und,
the Devil take the hindmost. But were it possible to
have Old Hickory there, with Old Truxton in his plates,
and Old Simon 20 handle him, we guess it would be s. a
small circumstance ahead of any thing in the way of
good luck to THE PROPRIETOR

When General Washington did not start a horse of his
own, he was often Judge of the Race. All the three
Presidents from the "Rrd-cluy district, gave their coun-
tenance to the sport. MIR. Adams, when President, was
sure 10 be ON the stand, at the tap of The Drum-And
us for . Old Hickory, hc has been known to run and
win on three legs; but every ono knows what he orders
must go ahead; and il the French don't pay us that mo-
ncy: vel hear the drum tap TO some purpose.
