The daily crescent. [volume] ([New Orleans, La.]) 1848-1851, 1849-04-13
Races-Binsaman Course, Algiers.

FIRST DAY-Thursday, April 12.-The entries
were Kirkland Harrison's ch f. by imp. Belshazzar,
Andrew Bells ch f. Kitty Pryer and A. H. Car
nell's G. g. Eolus-Purse, $l50-mile heats. The
sport yesterday of the first order, the day fine,
track good, and nags in excellent condition Al
though we were sorry to see slim attendance, yet
we were much gratifed with the race, and predict,
should this beautiful weather continue, that the
obligng and courteous proprietors will find the
Course crowded until the close of the meeting.
The tairer portion of creation represented on
the stand and we can promise to all an agreeable
trip in visiting Algers, to see
The high melted counen contend for the plate.''
The ferry-boats are cool and cleanly; walk of a
few hundred yards brings you to the track and re-
freshment, comfortable seats, and private room,
are at the service of the ladies. They are admit
ted free Of charge. The most perfect order pre-
walls, and heard neither profanity nor vulgarity
upon the ground 1t will prove most pleasant
sexcurson, take word for it,. The three horses
appeared in good condition /; but Eolus was dec-
dedly the favorite. Odds were freely offered on him
against the field, while the hackers of Kitty Puryer
were not idle in "piling up" to meet the demand.
The latter was but little known, yet she had few
staunch supporters. The gray, however, seemed
in tip-top order and by his looks fully warranted
the good opinion Of the knowing ones The Bel
shazzar flly was never " heard of once,' but the
contest was looked for between Eolns and Miss
KITTY. Al tire signul, away they spod-Kitty ieai
ing and the gray last, having decidedly bad start
From the first Kitty showed herself Bird - and
throughout the heat left her competitors to contend
between themselves, while she came home at
dashing pace, passing the stand several lengths
ahead-time, ESQ. The order of betting quickly
changed Sweet Kitty's friends seemed in clover,
while wry faces from the adherents of the gray
showed that they had been " done brown" Offers
were made of two to one on Kit, with but few
takers. A little hedging was done at these figures
Second Heat.-Drum tapped-a good start-and
away they went! Kitty, in few jumps, again
took the lead, followed closely by Eolus and the
filly This position was maintained until they
came to the home stretch, where the running was
very fine, and the excitement intense. Eolus grad
ually fell back, and the Belshazzar did her best
ticks to take the heat. But what could avail
against the fleet heels of the charming Kitty The
three passed the stand in dashing styleKitty lead
ing the filly second and the favorite last 1t was,
indeed, a spirited struggle, and showed that the
winner was g some pumkins." The time, lao, has
never been equalled on the Bingaman Course To-
day we look for renewal of the same kind of
sport. We append summary:
