The Stables ON the Ground and Those
expected - The Rest Horses in the
Country 10 be Present-The Track ia
Excellent Condition, and EVeryfhtng
Inviting.
In no one year Of racing annals has
more brilliant array of horses distinguished
themselves throughout the world, than
during the year 1867. Beginning in Eng
land in the early spring, Hermit set the
world agape by the wonder OF his leaps and
the magniGcence Of his winnings. In this
county, there have been greater turf per-
tormances than were ever witnessed in any
one year in the past. 1867 bears the palm
in trotting in two and quarter miles and
in two miles. Against this the entire past
only shows the fastest one, three and four
mile time; and these have retained
supremacy over 81 by very narrow mar
gin. The summer and early fall perform
ances have concluded at all points North,
and the meeting in this city, on Monday
week, 22nd inst, may be set down as the
opening Of the Southern winter campaign,
which is to conclude the most remarkable
of all other turf years. #. ~
Fully approaching these facts and their
importance, the Nashville Blood Horse
Association has prepared to make their
Fall Meeting, fitting close of the summer
and Inauguration of the winter triumphs
The accommodations at the track are be-
ing put in the best condition, and all the
preliminary arrangements indicate the
utmost comfort and interest to visitors.
But the most interesting and attractive
feature that has been developed is to be
found in and around the stables. The
trainers, riders and hostlers, who enthusi.
astically ply their respective arts at the
track assure us "by the remarks they make"
that We are to have grand time and fierce
struggles week after next The following
note of the contestants will fully justify
these anticipations:
