BROAD Rock RAoEs.-The Spring meet
ing over this favorte course terminated on Satur-
day last, with two races, mile heats, one OF which
proved highly interesting. The weather was as
charming az heart could wish, the track 10 fine
ORDER and the good feeling that prevailed just sucn
as should always characterize gentlemen IN search
Of pleasure.

the racing, many young men had become mem
