+ Morning Ride to Ashland-Cheap and Delightful
EIc@rsion.-Our invalid friends, and others, who
enjoy morning ride, are not perhaps aware that,
by taking seat in the cars of the Fredericksburg
company any morning at 81 A. NJ, they can have
ride to Ashland and back in return by the way
train, which reaches Richmond few minutes after
8 A. M. for one dollar only Time, too, is allowed
at Ashland for an old fashioned, comfortable Vir.
ginia breakfast and for those whose appetites
cannot be stimulated by the ride fresh mint trim.
mings are on hand, under the sign of the big horn
the very sight of which, enveloped as they are in
sparkling iccles, is refreshing IN the extreme
to teetotalers like ourselves. For mothers, with
sick children, the entire change of air. the gentle
exercise, and diminished expense allowed by this
arrangement furnish inducements far beyond any
which can be found in the use Of carriage or any
other mode of conveyance, whilst, in addition, they
have the privilege of remaining over for any subse-
quent train, if agreeable to them.
Broad Rock Races-Fifth Day-The Spring meet.
ing over this course was brought to a close last
Saturday, by race between saddle horses for a
tine saddle and bride, for which there were four
entries, only three of whom started Long before
the race came on, Adelgisa was the favorite
against the field and as she known to be quite
fleet in mile dash, but few persons were disposed
to wager against her success at any rates When
the time came for starting, the three marched up
to the score, and receiving the word went off at
the front position closely pressed by Terrier and
refused to yield it to her pursuer until she had
reached home and won the prize in 1:54l
We append recapitulation: atc ar4sf q
