Little is doing on the different individuals enter
ed, the only two named are James Wood of Char
lesion, S. c., and the North Star of Canada The
latter is backed freely against any other; and to
is taken against Wood. The most of the betting
on this match Is on time 1t is even that 81 miles
will not be done in the hour to against 81 miles
During yesterday number of Woods friends ar
rived in this city from Philadelphia and other parts
who backed him pretty considerably at to g. in
each of the races the competitors may be known by
their respective numbers.
Every preparation has been made for the occa
sion. New stands erected, the old ones strength
ened new fence made, on the outside of which
deep trench is dug so as far as possible to proven
the breaking in OF the mob, and the intrusion of i'm
proper characters. For the races during the weel
upwards Of 81, 100 are given which, together will
other incidental expenses will cost the proprleto
upwards of $1,000. This is certainly great sun
considering the low charge made for admission,
being 25 cents, 30 cents, IS cents, and 81. There
fore there can be no excuse for parties endangern
their lives and limbs, besides defraudng the propre
tor by breaking in and destroying the fences, &c
There will be coed posse OF able men in READINGS
to keep order, &c, and it will be the worst for tn
| first that attempts in any way to mar the arrange
ments and spoil the sport.
| INTERESTING TRoTTING MATcHEs.-On the l5t
there will be great contest between two crack tro
ting horses, Jas. X. Polk and John c. Calhoun, 70
| $1,000; three mile heats, In harness. Again on tn
I'D the same horses will together for the sam
| sum In like manner
TRoTTING AT THE CENTREvnLE TRACK To-MoH
Row.-A very interesting match comes of as above
| in which some good sport is anticipated, from tn
| well known ability OF the animals entered.
