SECOND RAcE-SAME DAY-This was the race,
not only of the day but of the week. 1t was for
the club purse of S2OO--mie hests-three best in
fve--Six entries
The day was very pleasant, the track 10 fine Or
der, and the attendance unusually large We were
pleased TO see the ladies out in large numbers
nothing adds more to the pleasure of witnessing
turf sports
Mountain Maid, 7Gncred, and EnioRs FLY,
were the favorites, yet no one was taken against
the field, nor was there any horse without his
hackers The betting was free-perhsps more
money changed hands on the result than on any
race that has been run upon the Course for years.
In fact there seemed to be continued piIiug of it
up until the moment of starting. And this spirit
was manifested too the evening before the race.
A race in which go many horses started, and up
on which so much money was stsked, could not
fail to be interesting. Yet to describe the running
in the various teits-where this horse brushed
where that one Fell ba,k-wouli be tedious and
consume more space than we have.
We must however before adding q summary
note few incidents. Nashville was very uuruy
Tr,ot in he Of ba
threw his rider, who was smsrtly stunned by the
fall but not so much but what he was again placed
upon his seat. Soon after this event, the same
horse by some peculiar effort threw his turner, a
stout negro man, entirely over his back, the boy
slghtng upon his feet on the opposite side of the
horse having turned complste summerset
In starting for the fifth heat, F. Po10er fell and
threw bis rider, who could not recover in time to
continue in the race. This we regarded as rather
fortunate Circumstance for by it the horse was
saved from the disgrace, that inevitably awaited
him, of being beaten.

pectively was 81! seconds.
