Nashville Races Third Day Thursday
Another balmy day smiled upon the turf
sports over the Nashville course yesterday.
There was quite large attendance, and every
thing conspired 10 make the occasion pleas
ant one. No frequenter of the track can fail
TO mark the agreeable contrast since the com
mencement of the new proprietorship. On
every hand is observed neatness, system, or
der and quiet. He is doing everything to
make it place where a gentleman or a lady
can lack upon the noblest of sports, and wit
ness nothing to shock their sense of propriety.
Mr.. Phillips deserves thanks for his efforts in
this behalf, aud we trust he may be able en-
tirely to succeed in his object, AMI moreover
make his investment a remunerative one.
The first race yesterday was for the Jockey
Club purse of $500. 8 mile heats.
At the sound of the horn, W. F. Harper's
b. c. by Yorkshire, out of the dam of Blonde,
Az. o.; Thos. G. Moore's Oh. c. John Aliens
