neither being trotted on a track before The time
made was uncommonly good for n new track and
the race was closely contested, the winner having
nothing TO boast Of. Indeed. so questionable is Il

desire To il repeated at an early day and we
hope the public will be INDUCED by the spectacle
OF a new match. The second race was not S, in.
terestiBg, as the horses were not closely matched
The company was large and respectable, and
everything was conducted in the most ord-rly
manner. Welearn that this track is entirely under
the control Of associations that they have
the most stringent rules that all who visit the
track will have pleasant time. No gambling is
allowed the track; and ii is closed inst every
one OH the sabbath day. Whilst the track is a
private one, occasionally there will be a public
trCt for the recreation of citizens and il is
the most pleasant drive near Washington, we
hope our citizens will Patronize it by subscribing
