The COMING RACES.

The fall meeting this year at the Metairie
Course has been heralded by all the prominent
journals of the country. 1t gives promise OF
rivaling even the famous meeting when Lee
compile, Lexington and other renowned horses
commended for the great State post stakes and
for the honor of their respective States.
Upwards of forty thoroughbreds are already
in training on the track, and good many |
others are momentarily expected from differ
ent portions of the South and West. Every
| train, every steamship and steamboat that ar
rives brings, among its passengers, dlstin-
| guished votaries of the turf, attracted by the
number and celebrity of the horses here.
1t may be invidious to discriminate among
so many noble animals as are now at the
Metairie Course, but we cannot help men,
tioning Pldntdgena, a four year old by
Planet, dam by imp Glencoe. This horse be-
longs to the stable of Messrs. OFallon Il
Davis, of Kentucky, and it is said that he has
always come out victor in his numerous races.
| We hear it reported that General WOodford
bay colt in the stable of Messrs Lupe Co.,
will run on the three mile day for Louisiana,
in the State Stakes. Woodford is by Ruric.

ably run for Mississippi, and Fanny Chedttdm
for Alabama. What horse will run for Ken
lucky and what for Tennessee, We have not
heard suggested.
stable is announced as coming from Texas,
composed of three or four fine animals, not
unknown to fame, and belonging to Mr..
Hamilton.
If the weather continues as bracing as it is
now, our readers may look forward to sport as
excellent as the hitherto unequalled struggles
between Lexington and his great rival
Lecompte. Every pains has been taken to put
the track in perfect order, and no expenditure
has been refused by the club for arranging
matters to public satisfaction.
