TWO and quarter miles; the third race dash OF
one and half miles, for purse; the fourth race a
dash Of one and three-quarter miles, and the fifth
dash OF two miles and quarter for purse. There
were no heat races run.
Ont Of the nineteen entries for the first race only
three came to the post These were bay hlly Fanny
Ludlow, by imported Eclipse, dam Molie Jackson;
chestnut horse Metarie by Star Davis. dam Katona,
and chestnut nly Lizzie Rogers, by brother OF Frank
Allen, dam Jenny Rose. The pool selling on this
race was nuCtuating. AT first Metairie was selling
as favorite against Fanny Ludlow and Lizzie Rogers;
then Fanny Ludlow sold az fav0rte against Metairie
an6 Lizzie Rogers. and they strangely alternated
until Metairie became the favorle against the Held

some peculiarly OF temper disposition. She made
a good race, although the time made, owing to the
execrabe condition OF the track ID scarcely worth
aiiuding TO.
The second race had nine entries. Only two of
the horses entered, however, came the post Vaux
hall and General Yorke. This was but $3.50 affair,
the running being all on the side Of VauxhalI, who
Is really first class rae horse, and whose future

now ON the turf. Some very good horses were EN-
tered against him yesterday, such as Lancaster
General Duke and Australia. IL is to be regretted
that they did not start, for had they done so, not
withsanding the heavy Track, we should have had
having only General Yoke to contend with the race
was a very tame affair indeed; merely that OF one
horse following another who could and did 20 away
from him at his pleasure.

four, came 10 the post. THESE were chestnut horse
Metarie, gray colt fospur. chestnut mare lira and

The fourth race--between Pompey Payne and Ju-

fact, was not the rein0test approximation TO con-
