Racing Prospects.

o. 10
The interest once taken in racing in the Northern
and Middle States, when gentlemen considered o
race horse necessary part of family estate, as it
even now is considered by many in Great Britain,
who like Lord Derby, scarcely ever attend a race,
seems gradually to have settled down, like the
strength and life of cup of coffee, to the bottom
until it lives, with any degree Of its old vitality only
along the banks of the Mississippi and the coast of the
Gulf. It has made its exodus to our homes and is
cherished by every Southern gentleman a goody
and pleasant heritage from the brilliant days past-in
other States lapsed into corn-g growing and cotton
spinning.
To such it will be grateful and pleasant news that
here in its chosen retreat the good old sport is waking
up with touch of that life which inyigorated its
juventy and promising to bourgeon as brilliantly as
ever. On this point able to make public some
few points of information of an interesting nature.
The Metarie course has been bought and sold
has passed from the control of those who formerly
held it, into the hands of association of gentlemen
whose names are a sufficient guarantee to all who
know, Or know Of them, that the grounds in their
keeping will be managed with view to the proper,
legitimate sports of the turf and an of
hoIsebreeding throughout all sections of the South
Wes-that the will be such as shall attract the
attention and attendance Of ladies well as gen
tlemen, and be source Of pleasant amusement to
all visitors. u.
The gentlemen who have taken hold of this matter,
and by whom we are confident such results will be
achieved are Messrs. W. j. Minor Duncan F. Kenner,
R. Taylor, James McCoskey, A. M. Bringier, R. A.
Porter, J. Hiddleston, R. J. Ward, Junius R. Ward,
NJ. 0. FL Norton W. E. starke, E. J. Mccall P. O.
Hebert, H. O. Colomb Sid Story, A. NJ. Holbrook, J.
N. Wells, R. W. Adams and A. L. Bingaman. These
gentlemen have purchased the track for $40 O0O and
organized Club, electng R. J. Ward, President P.
0. Heber and R. Taylor, Vice Presidents Sid. Story
Secretary; and D. F. Kenner, Treasurer. The Club
we understand it, will be modelled after the at
Charleston, S. G., in all leading respects and will,
confident, bring up the old gores of the turf to
what they have been and should be, and multiply
Bostons, Reels, Verifiers, Charmcrs, Louis dOrs
Lecomtes, LeXingtons and all good blood in oul
midst. Success to the new order Of things.

Peace Prociafrned.

By reference to our dispatches this morning, it
will be that treaty of peace between the Allies
and Russia has been signed and proclaimed. The
treaty was signed at Paris on Sunday 30th ultimo.
Such an event Should be regarded as a cause for
rejoicing the world over, The war between England,
France and Turkey, ageinst Russia has been horribly
destructive Of human has brought wretchedness
and want, and woe, 70 toussnasof happy aresides-
while it has cost the various at least one
thousand millions Of dollars increased Che national
debts and multiplied burtheRs upon industry and
trade. What coed has been accomplished? What
hene6cent result achieved? What advantage to The
human race is likely to flow from those enormous
sacrifices We can see none-none. = IL
" All, monarchs could Sc taste the nirth ye mar,
Not in the tolls Of glory would ye fret;
The hoarse, dull drum would eep and be happy yet

ST.. CRANES THEATER. The Gabriel Ravel troupe,
with the Martinetti family, commenced an engage;
ment last evening, at the ST. Charles Theater and
drew, as was to be expected an oyer-crowded audi.

sufficiently realized whatever other things it might
dampen could not affect the ardor or the feelings Of
those to whom Gabriel and his somewhat extensive
family are household words.
The Green Monster performances on the tight

realized its promise in the subsequent performance.
