Yesterday the opening day Of the spring meeting
ofthe Fashion Jockey Club, club that has suddenly
sprung into existence like Minerva from the brain Of Ju
pter by single whack. The existence OF the Fashion
Club totally unknown until few weeks past, when
the public somewhat surprised by the
Of its organization. Their meetings, which were held
with closed DOORS took place at the Aston House, and Of
neither reporters pebeans admitted into
the spiritual circle After having settled the preminaries
and completed their organization, the denzens of New
York appriscd OF the results of their deliberations
by the appearance Of huge posters those immense
piles of bricks which adorn this metropolis and add to
the picturesque appearance Of the city. Advertisements
followed, and the sporting world awoke from rs
lcthargy. The race of Eclipse and Henry, Of Black
Maria Lady Relief and Trfc, of Fashion and Boston, of
Fashion and Peytona of Tally Ho and Bostona all flashed
through their minds, and nothing but the forthcoming
thought Of The excitement grew stronger
every day the time for the approached, and
morning, and night the leading topic the
Politics had lost their SAVIOR, and Know Nothngism, black
repubcanism free soilism and Buchanansm had all lost
their fragrance The names of the leading politicians
forgotten, and nothing heard in the sporting
houses Of New York but Pryor Floride Lecomte Ncho
las L. Augusta, Adalgza, Car, and other celebrated
nags named as candidates in the the Fashion
Jockey Club.
Well the first days did come of yesterday accord

mencement day. The weather delightful, and the

ticuary fast being rather onesided affair." The two
mile race was extremely interesting, and appeared to
afford general satisfaction. The proceedings
Quoted with great propriety and decorun and nothing
exceptonable was witnessed, proving concusvey that

hbitions Everything SO arranged by the Club that
persons cannot be subjected to any annoyance whatever
The attendance very good indeed yesterday, for
first day meeting, great sport being anticipated il

North perfect guttons in racing in everything else
and think they must have the worth Of their money at

satisfied today, the four mile Is announced to
come off this afternoon, when a glorious run between
Pryor and Floride may be counted upon.
The first yesterday mie heats, for which Ida,
Etiquette Gar Margaret Morris and Eta entered
but two, however, appeared on the track-Czar and Eli
quete. Car the easily Car is by Tally Flo
out OF Andrewea, and Is an uncommonly promising three
year old. He ran with much ease and in capital style,
and bids fair to assume high position as racer.
The lilly that ran against him Is by Mariner, out
Of Fashion and did not prove herself quite as fast as
anticipated from the general knowledge Of the power Of
her dam. She il, however, pretty creature and may
do something yet when older. or tho heats little can be
