NASHVILLE Jockey Club Races.
THIRD Day

The race yesterday was for the club purse Of
$500, three mile heats There were three entries
John Aiter, Taacred, and Harpe's colt The at
tendance was good. The turf was in fns condi-
tion--a little heavy, and the horses, the two first
named, thought to be in fair order. The latter was
evidently too low. Aiken was the favorite at two
to one against the feli--a good deal of betting
No great deal of interest seemed to be manifested
in regard to the result except by those who were
Immediately concerned. 1t is true there was some
feeling in favor of Tancred-originating in State
pride--he being Tennessee bred horse; the other
two from Kentucky.
But to the result. The horses, after the usual
preparation, were let off in handsome style, yet no
effort seemed to be made for the heat until in the
third mile, which was a continuous brush between
aiken and Rncred, making this mile in l:50s, the
former winning tbs heat 6:2l3.
Dinner was now announced. But owing to
the neglect ard impudencs of a servant we failed
to enjoy the meal We noticed, however, that ex-
ton was all that seemed wanting.
SECOND HEAT-No change in the betting. For
the first two miles the contest was between Har-
per and Ganced-the latter entering the tn ird mile
in the lead. aiken, after slight struggle, now
took the lead and kept it to the stand, winng the
heat in $50 In this heat the time was l57; Isl;
1853
This, considering the turf, was good Leaf.

Fremont I'm California.

The latest accounts from California repre-
sent that an extraordinary degree Of enthu-
siasm exists among the native Californians
for Fremont, and that nearly all of them
will go for him, from 10000 to 10000 in all.
Every county heard from in California has
formed at least one Club, and some, of the
most populous have Fremont or Railroad
Club in each precinct. A correspondent of
the San Francisco Chronicle says:-"Colonel
Fremont was always very popular with the
Spanish, who form the principal population
of the southern counties of the State 1t is
well-known fact, in relation to the old
Spanish families in California, that they are
very hospitable, but they are slow to warm
into friendship for strangers. But since the
first advent of Col. Fremont among them,
they have as it were, 'grappled him to their
souls nth hooks Of Steel" No stranger can
even now present himself at the gate of one
of those old Castilians and announce himself
as the friend of Col. Fremont, without re-
ceiving a reception such as he has rarely met
at the hands of strangers. He will be over
whelmed with attention and inquiries about
Col. Fremont. He will very soon perceive
that he has brought to them the name of an
old and familiar friend. There is no divis-
ion of opinion or sentiment among the Span
ish population in California, about Fremont"
