THE TURF.

RARE SPORT ON THE FASHION COURSE.
If the immense concourse of people who were dis
appointed at the Fashion Race Course on Tuesday,
by the failure of Charleston to compete with Nicholas
L. in the great race between the North aud the South
could have been present yesterday they might have felt
compensated by the unexpectedly fue sport Of the
day. The number OF persons in attendance TO witness
the excellent sport was comparatively small, owing
probably part to the disappointment Of the day pre-
vious, and in part to the tightness of the times.
Among the distinguished strangers, we observed the
Messrs. Laird of Colts Neck, Eew-Jersey-Mr
Samuel Laird the celebrated trainer of Fashion aud
his son. Mr.. Joseph Laird, her accomplished rider
throughout her long and brilliant racing career. GIL.
patrick who has attracted much of interest aud at
tepton from the circumstances Of bis being the rider Of
Proress on the occasion Of her first appearance and
signal defeat in England appeared to better advantage
at home, and a gentleman who was present at the
Goodwood remarked that if he had rode well there
az he did yesterday Prioress would have won. Mr.
Palmer the trainer who went out with Mr.. Ten
Broeck's lorses, was observed in conversation with
Glpatrick and it WAS said to be the fret time ths.
they bad met since the publication Of Gilpatricks
letter. mpuiiDg the blame Of defeat abroad largely
ito the trainer.
