FOURTH DAY.

III the Proprietor of the Nashville Course
had gotten up the present run Of weather
expressly for the Spring Races. it is very
likely that he would have failed to make q
better job of 1t. It has been delightful
throughout the week-clear and cloudless,
but not too warm--the dust on the road to
the Race Course being the only thing against
which any complaint could be uttered.
The Ladies' heaven bless themi-were out
again yesterday. frightening everything
around them, and doing more by their pres
ence towards preserving good order on the
ground than il is possible for the most ef-
icient police to accomplish. Encouraged
and SUSTAINED by their enlivening presence.
the Nashville Course under the new admin
istratiOn must become all that it ought to be.
1t is hoped tina. they will turn out in full
force to-day, as there are TO be two races.
The following were the entries for the race
yesterday:

siderable odds, but as the hour for the start
approached The tide turned in favor OF 4ArcAi-
tect and even bets were offered and taken.
AT few minutes past 2 O'Clock the horn
blew. and the horses came up for the
FTrsf Hea-A fair start was made at the
first attempt. the brown colt having the IN
side track. After few bounds -4rciatect took
the lead by a length and half and main
tanned the position to the end OF the first
quarter. when T0odIe, closing up the gap in
the next two hundred yards, they ran very
nearly together for the rest OF the heat,

SECOND HEAT.-A1tcr a false start the
horses got off we'll together for the first quar-
ter, when T5odlee spreading himself like 10
connective ON heavy down grade, paAed Gut
about length ahead, Archuect doing nothing
to close up the gap until the home-sireich
was reached, when he threw in few touches
OF extra eff ,rt, and the gap disappear ed.
All sorts of bets were offered. from fifty dol
lars even on one horse down to a posl-Office
stamp on either. Everybody--no, not every
body, but the u, 1t man to him--sent up a

track aud bending forward with his hands
between his knees, shouted, ''Oh, my Too
dlesl" Oh-o--O my TOOdlesn at the top o.
bis voice. The horses ran up neck and mex

gaining halt u lengths advantage held on TO it
till the purse was won.
