GoDEY's LADYs BooK.-The November number of
this old fayorite has been sent by the publishers
We always look for something good in Cooley and
we are never disappointed. 1t is one of the best
and most popular lady's magazines of the day, and
lady should be without it, especially if she wishes
to keep posted in regard to the fashions
THELTRE-MIss BATEEAN As GEBALHEE-Miss Bate
man was welcomed to Nashville by large and Sc
lect audience-not so large as it should have been
but one which we are persuaded viii grow coz
sinerably before her engagement is completed.
The hour al which the play was finished was too
late to admit Of a regular criticism Of its merits
duty which we hope to attempt in a future paper.
While deferring our criticism however. which
we frankly think the play is open) we must record
our opinion that it has merits of high order and
that Miss B., an actress, more than merits he
high encomiums which the press has pronounced
upon her wherever she has played.
Geraldine is to be repeated tonight.
The RACEs.-TUEsDAY-TH SECOND DAY.-Not
withstandng We intimated very plainly to our
readers yesterday morning the winner of the race,
quite a number Of them were indiscreet enough TO
bet at heavy odds against our lntimation The con-
sequence was their fun cost them pretty heavily.
There was a good crowd Of the stcrncr sex in
attendance and large number of our estmablc
and beautiful ladies graced the occasion with their
presence. A view Of the ladies' stand was fully
worth the expenses Of the trip independent Of the
race. The day lovely. the track in good order
and all went as merry as a marriage hell"
There were three horses came to the stand: Sher
rod. Mary Burton and RouNuuREE's Glencoe ily
Sherrod VIZ the favorite at from five one ag inst
the field. The fayoritg having the most hackers
at that odds At O'Clock the riders were mounted.
The Glencoe FLY having the inside track, Sherrod
next and Mary Burton the outside. At the tap Of
the drum of they went, the Glencoe taking the
lead finely and keeping it well under the hardest
sort of pull Sherrod and Mary Burton made
play for the second place. Mary took it for while
but near the half mile yielded to Sherrod, who
seemed inclined to head Glencoe's daughter. The
effort was IN vain The Glencoe came on in the
lead handiy and on the heat in I:492 Sherrod two
or three lengths behind. and Mary Burton a length
behind him.
Between the heats Sherrois friends began to
think he was little of his foot perhaps not having
been worked enough. RoUNDTREE's FLY did not
sweat of freely she ought to have done
Hence there was a great deal Of uncertainty as to
the result of the next heat and but little betting
done.
Up they came for the second heat and OF they
went as before tie Glencoe flly the lead under
dead pull. tine other two having for half-mie
very exciting contest for the second place. Mary
Burten again dropped behind and Sherrod went
after the FLY, but II was useless. Coming home
there was some very pretty running, the FLY lead
ing easily and coming home winner of the heat and
race in l:4g} Sherrod about far behind as in
the first heat and Mary Burton with the distance
fla, in her face Ii was heavy fall 10 the knowing
ones but 1t was not our fault. We told them that
the Glencoe WAS going to T7n for the money, and we
italicised it to give them hint. They wouldn't
take il and let en- bleed.
The winner was compGmented by Mr.. RoUNnrEEE
with the name of one Of ourmost beautiful young Ia
dies, BEETA McGAvoCE, daughter of DIR. D. I. Nc
