Tuesday being the appointed day for the match
bests. for the s,s Of so 600 It il Quite natural tbat
no incoDsiderable excitement should be manifested
BY those who financially Interested and that the
hackers of both horses should exhibit
easiness for fear that accident may to les
zen their chances for success Virginia, true steel
in the support of her avorte stock rafties her change
and is willing TO risk any amount uuon the game and
speed of old Bostons avorite while South Car
on thus far has fought shy not that she doubts the
speed of her entry, but because she s holding back
for the odds which will probably TO her before
the 0ne feature connected with this match
Bacon and Capt. Belcher have shown determine
ton to have fair play and favors, by which means
the feetest and most lasting will come off victorious.
Some days since we announced that a comfortable
and convenient Pavilion had been erected at Fairfield
for the accommodation of the ladies, meme of whom,
however. viii be admitted unless accompanied by
gentleman. We have now further to add. that they
may not be incomnoded by the Thousands of gentle
men who will be in attendance Capt. Beleher has
determined to open private entrance 70 the course
ted Indeed If we are 10 judge from what we hear,
not only the Proprietor, but the Club, have deter
mined TO bring racing back to what IL was twenty
years agcand in order 10 do this they have resolved
TO enlist the ladies, whose countenance and whose
presence have failed TO add popularity &c every
amusement upon which they have been induced TO
lock with favor. On the day of the great match then
we shall not be astonshed TO the pavilion
hied with fairy forms ard lovely faces enjoying the
sport with much relish did their mothers in times
gone by.
To those gentlemen who are not members of the
Club Blu: VINO may desire enjoy the privilege of
the Quarter Stretch" during the week
will merely say, that they secure tickets for that
purpose, by the payment at the gate of So where
they viii be furnished with privilege badge. The
Club have been compelled to adopt this course to
prevent rush upon the horses during the periods a.
lotted for rubbing and cooling-which, in opinion,
is of their most iudicious arrangements
To all who design attending the race, will take
the liberty of suggesting early start. many per.
SONS will fail get upon the course in time TO
the horses go off. Thousands of spectators may be
looked for Fairfield course next Tuesday, and
less large number of them start very early in the
morning. many of them must fail get through the
gates We will further suggest to al the propriety
of taking change with them to pay their gate fees.
By doing this, much time may be saved and great
confusion avoided.
We will conclude our notice by adding that Red Eye
moved well in his life the present time;
and from casual observation we feel pretty
well satisfied that Nina is perfect her excel
lent trainer need ever hope to get her If she fails
TO beat the Virginia champion in this contest, our
South Carolina friends may well hang their harp
upon the willows, and acknowledge themselves beat
en-, until they at the old horse with
thing faster and more enduring than Nina. But time
will tell the result.
