the twoyear-old stake, closed with three subscri-
bers bet Of $1,000 having been made between two of
them; we not positive, but we think those two
are Nina's and Die Clappertons produce if so, look
out for a betting race. One item mot down in the
bill," is a match between Leisure and Exchequer,
10 off the Saturday previous to the meeting.

here, must not expect them to remain very
long with Us, for the Lexington Races close on the
22d of September and all Kentuckians would like
to be Louisville by the LIST of October. when the
fall meeting of the Woodlawn Association will

All the stables intending go South from Kentucky
will be to stop at Nashville, and go thence to
Memphis, where they will find rich prizes to con

man wants.
The Spirit Of the Times OF the llth says Daniel
Boone arrived the ear part of last week. On
Monday, in company with some Tennessee and Ken
lucky friends we visited the Fashion Course, and
found Congaree and Boone in fine health. Our read
ers will be glad to learn that T. B. PATTERSON
Boone's trainer, is much improved in health. All
the horses are also doing WELL
