P. Hare's maiestic-looking bay flly Patsey|
Anthony, Mr. Marriot's bay horse Black
daw and Mr.. BIackistone's outre looking
sorrel horse Jim Along. The bets were
various-some on Beelzebub against Wen
da and Jim Along, some on Patsey against
1.-The field. and some on Beelzebub against
IBlackdaw. The distance was two miles
and repeat At the hour appointed they
started, Bee!zebub and Patsey we'll up to-
Igether; Blackdaw and Jim Along next
Wenda some distance behind. 1t was soon
discovered that Wenda was in no condition
to run, as she lost ground every jump
The contention was between Patsey and
Beelzebub, the latter beating the former by
half length Jim Along saved his dis
lance, though he was dead lame and in poor
condition-he surprised every person, and
many thought that had he not been lame
and been we'll trained, the race would have
been doubtful. Wenda was badly distanced.
BlackdaW, we'll up with the foremost horse,
threw his rider before coming out. In the
second heat only Beelzebub and PatseY
started, as Jim Along was drawn, not being
able to walk but upon three legs. The
heat was an exciting one and well contest
ed but Stag Hall again came off victori-
Gus, beating his opponent length or two.
Time 4.O0-4O0.
! Let us not forget to mention here that
after this race Joe Squiz's beautiful and full
] blooded grey FLY Adrienne de CordovIlle
won two short match races. The members
of the club planked up their ''tin" upon her,
and made the pockets Of their opponents
Idisgorge some OF their fulness.
!, On the third day two races came off: The
first, for saddle, bride, martingale, whip
and spurs, in which there were five entries
; Mr.. Jno. w. Jenkins sorrel filIy, Mr.. Jos
r Wills Orineo Fairfax, Mr.. Leonard Ferrall's
and Mr.. Marriot's Queen Ann; and the Sc
cond, between Col. Limbersides' noted flIy
Kate Harris, DR.. Gravissimus's Wenda, anC
, Mr., @. P. Hare's Antoinelte.
The first was the most beautiful and ex.
7, citing race we have ever witnessed. You
might have covered three Of the horses the
/, whole distance, during each heat, with {
blanket. The race was won in two straigh
heats by Mr.. John P. Jenkins fIly, beating
each time by half length. Time I.58-
f1.59.
The second race was run in an hour aG
forwards Antonette was the favorite horse
and bets were made two to one upon her
but the" knowing ones'' were again deceived
and old Stag Hall third time triumphed
Kate Harris won her race, though not with
out hard contest. Wenda did much bet,
. ter than the day before, saving her distance
each heat and running up pretty well. Thus
, ended the sport. Time l 56-155.
We were pleased to see the good orde
and quiet which was observed all the tim,
upon the course. Much credit is due IL
, our worthy Colonel. We have not a doub
! the racing next fall will be looked forward
, to with as great if not greater interest thar
the present, and that the worthy proprietor
r from the very kind and hospitable name
which he received and entertained hi
; friends and the public, may expect large
concourse of both ladies and gentlemen IL
attend the sport so kindly gotten up by hin
solely for their amusement.
, Permit US to say here we hope that Mr.
rio. P. Hare will not be discouraged at biz
ill luck, but will visit us again next fall
We found him Virginia gentleman Of thu
lold school. 1t is to such gentlemen W.
look to keep up the jocky club races. Gu
. people are now getting into the spirit. lii
, a noble sport, where You exclude from you
=, club gamblers and bIacklegs. The Charlie:
County Jockey Club has been organized by
gentlemen, and it is their determination tt
suffer none but gentlemen to become mem
. bers. Well done old Charles Thou.ar
hard to beat in pretty girls, bIooded horses
blooded dogs, and hospitahle people.
