Magnolia Jockey Club.
In the first race there wer eoririnaly six entries
-four only started. The Albion FLY of Roundtree
& Breathitt was first favorte. while Ninette and
Lilly Ward "honors were easy"
By lottery, Lilly was assigned the inside, the
Albion second, Ninette third, and the Wagner FLY
outside. Between the three last the start quite
equal, Lilly losing six or eight lengths by
her groom's inexperience or carslessness. Nnstte
led round the turns and to the half mile post closely
pressed by Lilly, where the Albion Joined them in a
splendid struggle for the lead to the stretch which
she entered clear length ahead, and swept past
the stand twice her length in advance of all in l5Of
The second heat was equally well contested, and

had the yesterday been kept TO the stand, IS
or 40 would have been recorded instead of ESQ.
SECOND RAoE.-The second race was that will
live long in the memory of all who witnessed it.
Fbe result and the surrounding circumstances
awakened the widest tumult, and the most upro-
rious JOY, so entirely carried away the crowd
--victors and Vanquished shook hands, imbibed
from the same sparkling stream, and for the time
forgot their losses and gains.
OF the race itself, little need be said Nellie Jack
son had reputation second TO none Of her age
on the turf-and as q consequence was faVerite
500 to $50. The Brown Dick colt, since named
General Twiggs, had race LAST fall. but gained
little public reputation. Mollie was said by some
to be ont Of condition, while Twiggs ready to
run for mans life. In each heat he led through
out, and won both with the most seeming ease.
They were hardly ever more than length apart,
whether from courtesy or not Col Williamson keeps
to himself
