THE RACES.
Second Day On the Track.
Splendid sport.

m and the BIZ was very IKE Winter.
The splendid time made and elegant
races OF Monday, stirred up the commu
nifty generally, and there wss quite =
large attendance upon the course yester-
day evening, there being four or five
hundred persons in the various stands.
We were sorry TO observe, however, 50
very few ladies in attendance, and are st 3
compiste loss to know what TO attribute
heir absence. II is certainly not fron
the lack Of good accommodations,
or the keeping of improper persons
out Of the stand. We hope that
they may see fit to honor and grace the
track during the remaining days with
their presence ia large nUHbers. We
can assure each and every one that they
wil not be brought in contact with any
persons whom they would be ashamed
20 meet IN their own paFioEs.
