The daily crescent. [volume] ([New Orleans, La.]) 1848-1851, 1849-12-26


The first meeting Of the New Orleans Trotting
Club took place yesterday on the Metariie Course.
The day being one Of general leisure added to the
clear bTaoing atmosphere and prospect Of fine SPORT
drew upon the ground large and respectable at
tendance. The track was in fine order, with the
exception of portion Of the back stretch, where
it was rather heavy The run was mile heats, best
three in five for which three horses had been en-
tered, viz: Black BIZ, Bet, and Sin1ots. The two
former had the advantage of longer training. The
mare being the favorte starting against the field
First Heat.-Peabody with the mare seemed de-
termined to head the party she quickly outiooted
her opponents, rounding into the back stretch with
the lead which she maintained throughout the heat
Black Bill well up and Simons third. Time, 800
Second Heat.-The mare on starting took the
lead, and although repeatedly challenged Hiram
King with Black Bill, retained her position to the
Judges stand. Time, 3:13A,
| Third Heat.--Previous to the race, the mare had
been the lavorite against the field at even rates
her friends now, however, numbered up their piles
on her with but few takers. At the start, Pea
body, as before, pulled out from the party, while
Hiram lay close, driving the to all she could
do-and at rate of speed that was too fast for her
- the horse footing with her down the home
stretch, with brush in him STILL that brought him
in winner in 3:13A.
Fourth Hsat.-The heat was won by Black Bill;
we omit the time as we are not certain about our
figures.
| Tie ffth, last, and deciding heat, was now anx-
iously looked for-each horse having won two heats
The Black uns friends were very sanguine, how
ever, that he had her every part Of the ground
as he came to the score fine as silk and seemingly
fresh as ever while the mare seemed to strike rather
wild at the close of the previous heat Hiram having
barely passed the on'the tap of the drum, his
horse broke, and he seemingly uncertain whether he
had broke the score not pulled up looking back
for drections-the mare, meantime, had settled tC
herwork and was clear forty yards aheadthe friend.
of the horse now gave up the heat for lost and in
deed his show for winning it seemed bad, but un
der Hiram's admirable driving he slowly closed the
gap, until turning out of the back stretch whilt
making the turn, he was enabled to ease his mas
for the quarter-sretch brush which he entered witt
a stride that placed him in the lead, which h,
maintained to the stand amid the shouts of his friend
in 3:16.

0Sz- Our readers cannot have forgotten the story
got up between Washington and New York of the
disgrace by his government of NJ Bodisco Minister
from Russia to the United States, now on visit to
his own country The following passage from the
last letter Of the Paris correspondent of the New
York Journal of Commerce, shows how little sem
blanoe of foundation there is thought to have been
for the original report referred to:
The Philadelphia correspondent of the London
Morning Chronicle reports that walls of wrath had
been poured by nearly all the American journals on
the head of the Imperial Majesty Of Russia, in con-
sequence Of the BOdisco story, issued by the New
York Courier and Enquirer All the Revolutions
AIRY organs here awaited themselves of il in the same
way, and probably it was invented for the purpose
The connexions Of NJ. BOdiseo might have been
consulted from New York before it was cast to the
world-a few hours, presume, would have sufiiced
by telegraph But it came from source that left
no doubt Of its authenticity Nevertheless there
is not about it the least versimitude it was to me
clearly fiction, designed a text for railery
that | Immediately expressed my utter increduliiy
to those about me, and cautioned two of our Paris
editors against belief"

Moonlight, beautiful and bright!
Shedding silver oer the night;
On the wide deep ocean streaming,
Into flow m and fountains cleaning;
Tell rs what Thy radiancs yieweth,
That 70 thee this great world sheweth?
Mortal watch Imaidan fair,
Wand'rnE in the soft night air,
Bending now her starry eyes,
While the rose to her cheek flies;
As some Low d one tow ring DER her,
Bows his noble form before her
Glide /. in the banquet hall,
On the wide walks quiz ring fall,
Light steps in the dance are sliding,
Light forms through the gardens gliding:
Hands are elasped that cannot sever,
Hearts are giv'n and lost foreyerl
How before the chuFch's altar,
View fond ones bend and falter:
Crowned, brow with snowy aow'n,
Damp, a cheek with April show'm:
Touch l into gems, the trace
Of tears upon the young brides face
Now touch another brow
Cold, more cold than ice art thou.
Life from thee forever fled,
Mournfully kiss the dead.
Pale, more pale, since here sleep,
Seems she to the eyes that weep.
Into silent chambers stealing,
Sad the scene within revealing;
Tears of noe from this heart flowing,
Sorrow, sadness, hourly growing;
Sobs Of anguish light forms shaking,
Prayers for sleep that knows no waking.
An these view l now from high,
How ye live, and how ye die!
Into palace halls I'm straying,
Over crowned heads I'm playing:
Into peasant cot I'm peeping,
Where the weary ones are sleeping.
Many are the eyes that see me,
Many are the hearts that feel me
Some whose course of life is bright,
Love me for my beauteous light;
Others full of grief or care,
Turn from me in deep despair
Der the far spread changing Earth,
shine alike mid clouds and mirth:
The pure, the good, will ever seek me,
Sin and shame forever shun me.
Holy thoughts / love to wake,
And bitter strife from cold hearts take.
