strictest rules and thorough police sys-
TEN cleared the Race Course of all that
might be offensive to the eye or ear of
modesty; and as racing antedates the
Christian era, and must, in the nature of
things continue. it is our duty to assist
these gentlemen in their laudable effort OF
purging the Race Course OF all the OBJ
| jectionable features, The Directors of
the Agricultural! Fair Grounds, finding
from their first experiments that the exhi-
biiion of I've stock, of the products of
agriculture and mechanical skill and labor,
which proves most attractive to the
sober, rejecting portion of the commu
nifty, is not sufficiently exciting and at
traotive TO draw the crowd or
afford the patronage on Which
the success of the enterprise must be
based; have been forcedto permit trotting
races-the chasing of a few crippled and
0eyy tame deer and half 1edged foxes
and other clap trap expedients to draw
and now, in their straitened financial
condition, have been considering the plan
of permitting the Blood, Horse Associa-
ton to hold their meetings seni-annually.
OF week each, on our grounds--they
TO have their stables outside of the Fair
Ground enclosure, and to make the tracks:
and the Agricultural Association, without
any Inconvenience, inasmuch as there is
no union Of the ts0o, holding their re-
spectiVe meetings on separate weeks, and
without dime of outlay, receive yearly
rental, and thereby add materially TO
their depleted treasury; besides, this
arrangement ought to be sufficient to ease
the conscience of the most strait-laced
moralists, for in attending the agricul-
tural exhibitions, they have no occasion
70 witness turf performances will add
further that the Directors of the Agricul- /
tural Association have seen proper to let
two horses trot together in exhibitions of
speed, in order to add to the interest; and
wherein, may inquire, consists the diff
ference between this and running races,
Invested of gambling and its attendant
vices. / answer, none. No, it is to
strain at gnat and swallow camel
As to the right the stockholders have
to decide this question in the Affirmative
they have not only the right morally, but
in every point of view to so decide
but is their duty, SO to say-if by 1t we
can add to- our treasury and means to car
ry on this enterprise in manner that
will reflect credit upon those who have it
in chsrge-and if decided in this way-I |
would regard it as the height of pre-
on the part of any one, be be
Christian or not, to withdraw from it |
simply upon the ground that the stock |
holders had not seen proper to coincide |
with him IN his views. May l request
that ''the member" and all other members
will weigh this matter carefully snd in all |
its bearings, and vote on Saturday next ac-
cording to their best judgment divesting |
themselves of any narrow prejudice. /

SHALL THE FAIR GRO UNDS BE-
COME RACE COURSEl

To the Editors of the Union and American:
The above is the caption of an article
which appeared in your issue of the 10th,
and in order that the antidote may &C
company the poison, propose in short
article TO disabuse the public mind of an
erroneous impression likely to be produced
by said article, In the first place the cap
ton as well as the argument is an al
cdpt0nolunl appeal to the scruples OF the
Christian community. That community
should be informed that the Blood Horse
Association of Nashville in common with
the qespect0bLe associations of tttTfn1eIl
throughout the country, seek to develop
10 the highest degree the powers OF the
noblest and most useful of all the in
ferior animals of the earth. To further
this object, and to contribute to public
amusement, purses are Offered to stir up
emulation among breeders and trainers,
tending to the larger expenditure OF money
in the Improvement of pedigree and the
highest efforts of skill and judgment in
rearing and training this costly young
stock so as to develop the utmost speed
and endurance. These objects are con-
sidered legitimate and desirable by
Christians and moralists, as shown by the
fact that agricultural associations bestow
the highest premiums offered TO the live
stock list on blood horses. But the seri-
Gus objection to turf associations and
sports is to the various forms of gambling
permitted on the race course. The Nash
vile Blood Horse Association, aware of
this, DESTROYS to elevate the standard of
this manly sport and relieve, as
far as practicable, the scruples
of the moral and religious community
of all that might be offensive have by the
Nashville union and American. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1868-1875, 1870-07-12
