Win DARK, portentous Clouds and ere the forenoon

Oh coming snow storm. When we arrived at
Broad Rock, the friends of the turf who had Assem-
pied, were either wrapped in oyercoats or blankets
or dodging behind the houses and trees to escane
the biting blasts, that had already set their teeth to
chatterins like monkies in a mcnagerie, or shaking
from head to foot like Hosier with an ague With

it not to be supposed that the attendance exceeded
more than ten thousand, or that more money than a
horse could pull down hill on ice would be hazarded

one, ana the attendance small-much smaller than
we ever expect to see It again. at the same place
The Rdce.-When the hour came for preparation
the trumpet called the entries the stand and soon
thereafter the ch f. of Messrs. Mcdaniel s. Morris
ana the 8. C. of Messrs. Bowie & Hail. made thei,.
appearance. Some few bets were then made at
hve and six to one that the fly would win, but as
tins odds was too great to offer freely, and the
"helders" would nibble at nothing less, very few
dollars change hands Large odds pay but little,
and we are glad to find that even old turfmen are
beginning to learn how to avoid such Investments
At O'Clock the trumpet sounded to saddle the ri.
ders having been weighed, and in five. minutes
thereafter another blast was blown TO announce the
commencement Of the
First Hsdt-With very little trouble good start
mas effected, the lilly having the inside, and the
word being given, the two dashed off together in
close company. After going a short distance the
lilly moved to the front, opened gap on her es-
cort, and, under strong pull held her lead without
an effort, running home well In hand in l:55, the
colt boing about five lengths behind her.
This result seemed to have surprised no one, and
the race was therefore looked upon concluded, if
no accident occurred, consequently we heard but
one bet offered, while the two were cooling out
and that was 500 to corn shuck that tho fily
would win This proposition of course was ac-
cepted and the stakes would have been "planked
down." but for the fact that the gentleman rsking
the shack had fed out his crap and couldn't come to
sight before the trumpet sounded to saddle for the
Second Heas-Both horses seemed to have cooled
off well and receiving the word started off If about
commencing journey in which they expected to
endure fatigue and privations OF no ordinary char
acter. After going the first quarter, the fly took
the lead and held it until reaching the back stretch
where the colt made his ''brush," lapped her. and
the two ran together q few hundred yards; but the
lady growing tired of such company, again moved
to the front, and running at her ease, passed the
stand several lengths ahead in 2:ol. winning the
heat and race. ...r
1t is proper to add, that Messrs. Bowie & Halls
colt was entirely out of fix, and had no earthly
show for the money when he started. If put in
proper Hdius, ne may YET come OUT ana prove an
ugly customer to those who have run over him this
fab, rough shod Good training is half the battle in
racing, and without it, no horse do justice to

The Handicap Race at Rroad Rock to-day will be
witnessed with greater interest than any contest OF
the kind that has ever takep place on that course

together all the lovers of the sport in Virginia to see
it. In South Carolina, where racing ID supported
by the richest and most intelligent portion of the
community, the handicap day. is always con ,der
ed the brightest Of the week and when once our
people understand its operations, they too win make
