Purse.
The adjourned meeting of the Nashville
Blood Horse Association closed yesterday
brilliantly The attendance, although not
as large as on the day preceding, was very
fine, and as usual during the present meet
ing, goodly number of ladies appeared in
the stand.
The track was not what might be called
the best, but was in fair condition.
The first race, which was for an AS ocia-
ton purse of 800, mile dash, had four en-
tries, as follows: II. B. Cheatham's ct. f.
by Br0Un Dick. Zeb. Wards Morgan
Scout. Richards & Kilgour's John RilgOuf,
and Zeb. Wards MdpdGRe In the pool
selling Immediately before the race Man
dane proved to be the favorite, and brought
$65, while the others ranked as follows:
Kilgour 1923, the grey FLY $13, and Nor
gan Scout $40 At this ratio a considera-
BILE amount of money changed hands.
THE FIRST RACE.
The hour designated having arrived, the
bell is tapped, the riders mount, and the
spirited looking chargers come boldly up
TO the rescue. The die is cast, and Nan
dane gets the inside position, much TO the
qualification of her hackers. The trainers
manoeuvre a little, and after several inef-
fectual attempts at a send-of, the contest
ants move cautiously towards the stand,
they are turned loose, the drum taps, and
all agree that better start could not have
been made, with the exception of Morgan
Scout, who was a little slow in leaving head
quarters. Kilg0Ur, MaRddRe, and the
spunkey little grey FLY, ran side by side to
the first quarter. when the latter took the
lead for a length, and kept it TO the turn,
hRgOUr and Mundane continuing nose and
nose together and the Scout guarding well
the rear They now enter the home stretch,
and Mundane, tired of her partner, leaves
him, and pays her compliments to the little
grey. At the distance stand it is difficult to
say which has the lead, but approaching
this condition of things, MdRddRe shoots
ahead. and passes under the string half a
length in advance of the grey FLY, Kagour
third, and the Sc0t a bad fourth. Time,
las.
and the intermission was taken up with
pool-selling for the second race in which
there were three entries the first pool being
knocked down as follows: Zu-Zu $50,
Morgan Scout SO, Cheatham's b h S..
At this ratio several were sold, when all at
once, there is a sudden change, and Nor
gan Scout becomes. the favorite, selling
at SS1, ZU-Zu $50, Cheatham's S22.
Zu-Zu however, had the majority of brok,
ers, and before the closing of pools, was
again first choice.

Scout before passing out of the first turn
appears in the lead, and takes the track
This position he maintained until reaching
the home turn, when Zu-ZH came upon
him rather suddenly, and for a few mo
ments, it appeared to be nip and tuck be

shook off his companionable little beauty
and passed under the string half length

During the usual fifteen minutes between
heats, a number of pools were sold, Nor

SECOND HEAT. Morgan Scout and The
bay horse start off together, with Zu-Zl
more than length behind, and all around
to the three-quarter post, it was an exciting
struggle between Scout and the bay A
