THE RACES To DAY.

As the first day OF this meeting Of the Metairie
Club was splendid one and full Of promise for
the future, and as each succeeding day has full
filed that promise, so to day will the meeting
close in a blaze Of glory, and ending as it icom-
menced, will 60 upon record as one of the most
enjoyable and finest meetings ever held by any
club.
The races today will be two. First we are to
have two mile dash for beaten horses. Gdoy
The Bdnshee and Gen. EtceH will run in it, and q
beautiful race it will be. The horses are well
matched, though the pools show that Ewell is the
favorite with the mare next him, and Gilroy last.
One pool sold we give as an average Gen. Ewell
$40, Banshee 12s, Giroy 7s.
But the second race will be the event Of the
meeting. 1t is three mile heats. $500 entrance, p.
p. club to add $1,000. For il are entered Mr. Rich
ards Locust Post, horse who has shown mag
nifcently during this meeting; Capt. Moore's
Bdyonet, and Col. 0'Fallon's Pldntdgenet. who
won the great stake on the nrst day, and who N
the running of II showed himself not only game
horse, bat fast one. Bsyonet and Locust Post
are both three year old, and therefore have the
advantage of weights over Plantagenet, who Is q
four year old; but the heavy weight won yester-
~ and may to-day. Quien sabe?
1t will be seen from the pools which we pub
lish below, that OF the three sons Of Lexington,
Bsyonet has the call, the Missouri horse ranking
rext him, and Locust Post being bought upon
8 speculation:

But look out, Messieurs, the favorites have
often been beaten this meeting and the last race
may terminate as did the first.
Three o'clock sharp Is the hour set for the COM
mencement. Those who are few minutes be-
hind time will lose the dash.
