To-Day the Jockey Club Purse of 5000, four mile
heats with an inside stake of $780, between Captain
Belcher and the Messrs Green, will be run for, to
which there three entries, viz: The renowned
Red Eye" the great Nirginian champion, and the
winner OF nineteen Nina" the couqueror of
Red Eye, two weeks ago, atFairheld, IN match
race at two mile heats for purse of $4,000; and
" Lawson" the game untring winner of the Fair
field Jockey Club purse, Friday last With such
trio as this who eau doubt that there win be sport
of the finest kind Already the friends OF Z" Red
Eve" are naming him against the field, for any
amount; but this does not secure his success. We
know he is feet and durable but there be
of doubt that Nina out foot him whenever she
peases, and if she does not tire down great deal
sooner than her friends expect her chance not al
together hopeless That she will wait upon her COM
is not at all doubtful. But Red Eye goes OFF at the
top of his speed, and endeavors her down. then
the purse will be Lawson's certain as shooting.
Ofcourse can know nothing of the manner in
which the trainers have determined to play for
the Jockey club purse. The result will depend great
" spon that; but whatever may be their plans Stop
era5ion think this viii be the Of the
SOL, and therefore advise general turnout" to
