TO-DAY, is one of anxiety, hopes and
fears TO the racers here assembled, for it has
been shut in by night, the golden prize, which ap-
pear go temptngy inviting to the eyes of many oi
than, will be secured by and removed from
view. Bot gold aone, is not the only jewel 10 be
fought for Seven States interested in the result
of the battle, and State pride is to be maintained
as far as the speed and endurance of the entries
can do IT. No wonder then. that each racer has a
trembling dread of the result, and that he will feel
and look uneasy until the conqueror is made
known: But racing men sre not the only ones
whose heart palpitations are iivelier this morning
than usual The great boswell stake, for which
there are twenty-eight nominations, is to be rim
for to day, and young aud old, rich and poor feel
anxious to know the winner. Those who can get
to Fairfield. will be apt to do so, IL they cnt
| short the gate receipts by taking outside stands
while the friends of the turf from North, South.
Enst and West will rally n. man to see the end
of an event SO thrfilingly interesting all II tbs
weather ic favorable, large number of ladies are
expected on the conrse, anve have no doubt that
the Club will sec them properly ATTENDED To. We
oniy regret that they will have such nccommo-
| dations are offered in South Carolina, but hope
the da, Is not distant when Fairfield will be inn
| proved.
